Mayweather vs. Cotto post fight Thread -DON'T make new threads about the fight

[Weebler I]

Floyd will take a dive, make a fortune on his loss and the rematch will be one of the biggest events ever. Meanwhile, Imatroll loses 20k

Fighting professionally and fighting in the street are two different things. Anyone who's ever studied Bruce Lee knows very well the dude was always challenged before and during the time he was a movie star. He was probably in more fights than Floyd's professionally fought in. The problem today is people's idea of fighting (Boxing or MMA) professionally is the measuring stick, but you're limited to rules.

How many people are going to challenge Floyd on the street w/ out 6 bodyguards attacking the person? Bruce got challenged on the set of every movie he ever filmed (and by top notch Martial Artists in their own right) and he would annihilate them within seconds. Anyone who regards Lee as "just" an actor clearly never did their research on the guy. He was the real deal.

I am no Bruce Lee expert. I knew he devoted his life to fighting and was very good at it. I knew he would not turn down a challenge to fight and won lots of steet fights. I am also aware that street fighting is different than fighting within a set of rules. If the question was who would win a street fight then that should have been made clear. He may well have had more street fights than Floyd had pro fights. But these fights were witnessed by very few. Was every fighter who challenged Lee to a street fight a world class street fighter or were some of them guys who just thought they could fight? Floyd's skills are on display for the world to see against proven pros. How many people in this thread ever saw Bruce Lee in a real fight of any kind? Could Bruce take a punch like Floyd? Did he punch as hard as Floyd? Just because boxing is retricted by rules does not mean Floyd could not use his boxing skills to good effect in a street fight. Considering how Floyd grew up I am sure he can fight on the street. I was not picking the winner of a street fight. I just think Floyd is much more proven as a fighter. I have often heard Bruce Lee could have defeated any boxer near his weight under boxing rules. I don't believe it but some people do and the only time they saw him fight was in the movies.

We all know there's no way Mayweather is losing to Cotto. I'm thinking about making a calculated risk by putting down $20k on Mayweather win. That means I would approx. make $2.5k profit in one night.

I know $20k is alot to risk for $2.5k but Mayweather isn't going to lose.. I just can't see anyway he loses to Cotto. Mayweather will light up Cotto with counters and then walk him down from rounds 6-12. I think it's a good bet, anyone else got opinions?

Don't believe NSB smack talk.

Cotto has never lost and not put on a beating on the guy that beat him. This is far from a "sure-bet" fight.

Mayweather-Baldomir was a sure bet fight.

On the contrary, if you get good odds, this is a good bet-for-the-underdog fight.

Then why ask if it is worth it?

Just do it. Your money will be safe.

down payment on a condo

rents are at all time highs

mortgage rates are near all time lows
and they're giving the places away

you actually have 20 k in cash?

me too. join ze club. feels nice, huh?


i am in the process of negotiating on a condo that was worth 150 + in 2005 and is now on the market at around 80 grand.

i will be paying less each month to own a place than i do now to rent one.

do that
dont bet 20,000 on a fight when you only stand to win 2500

too much risk

You obviously know nothing, Chuck Norris himself said Bruce Lee was the real deal and Bruce taught him things, do your research man, Bruce was so feared the Chinese society sent 3 of their best fighters to Bruce Lees martial arts school because they didn't want him to teach americans and he beat them all in 3 minutes..If that doesn't tell you something I'm done talking...

If Chuck said the moon was made of cheese you would believe him.

Millions say they've seen bigfoot, aliens, unicorns etc, quite frankly I think you're all pathetic brainwashed idiots relying on hearsay.

Yh I seen Bruce Lees ghost the other day, came in my local and cleared it out. Bodies flying everywhere!

The only proof of anything near is a 30 sec clip of him embarrassingly prodding at a make believe ''heavy bag''

I am not saying he wasn't handy & he did do a huge amount for martial arts but until I see concrete evidence I refuse to believe he was anything more than an actor with a martial arts background, one rendered pretty much useless in this time. Van Damme & the likes are far more proven and that is reality.

Van Damme was a Ballerina who got beat up in a bar by a nobody and stop acting for a while...Once again people who know nothing...It's a reason Dana White and many UFC fighters pay homage to Bruce...

theres a very good chance Cotto pulls off the upset.

Only a dumbass would throw down 20 g's to win 2,500

[Gino Ros]

Floyd is not really known for his uppercuts that's why i think this fight becomes more intriguing. .

Please go watch the 24/7 for the Hatton fight. In that buildup, Floyd asked Roger to throw hooks while he countered it with his own "hooker cut".

He did this intentionally for the cameras.

Floyd is a well-schooled fighter. He has a complete arsenal.

Too much to risk for such a little return.
