ESPN Skip Bayless letting it be known...do you agree???

[crillz]

Floyds scared as the people he is avoiding hit harder than him. He is jealous he can only outpoint people and has to rely on judges giving him decisions.

He is jealous Pac has the ability to ko warriors like Cotto where he can only get dodgy decisions against Cotto.

lmao you being sarcastic right?

[Carpe Diem]

Skip Bayless = Check_hooks.

[crillz]

man much as one can dislike skip. he hit right in the head.

he hit right in the head? in the head of ignorance and complete biased maybe

Skip Bayless = Check_hooks.

Seriously though

[crillz]

nope. he may dislike floyd's antics but most people feel that way about this situation.

yupp.

most people can't do a 500 jab interval to be even opening their mouth in the first place. performance enhancement drugs are illegal and if Skip Bayless himself was a fighter he wouldn't allow himself to make less or even money knowing that he is worth much more.

Skip's problem is that he just dislikes Floyd and is too ignorant to set aside his dislike for Floyd for the the sake of rationale, he's basically telling you that he doesn't care that Manny may or may not be taking performance enhancement drugs, he's completely out ruled a high possibility of truth in what Floyd is saying all because he dislikes him, that's pure ignorance because in his core he knows it's real easy to sit there and do that knowing he is not risking his body or his health for the rest of his life, so of course he doesn't care.

disliking him is not enough basis or reasoning to take away the truths in what a man is saying, he completely writes off everything he says without consideration because his mind is already made up, Floyd is a coward and doesn't want to fight yet he's 43-0 over 5 weight classes (no catch weights) and 16 years, explain to me how he is a coward?

this guy knows nothing about fighting and he just wants to see a fight but things would be MUCH different if it was his physical being getting into a fight, he too would want to make sure everything is correct and would look for his best gains and interests

Good post Crillz, but Floyds had a catch weight.

good looks REED

and do you mean against Marquez?



on a completely side note, for my own reference, do you know the contract negotiations for De La Hoya-Trinidad in and out? I'm looking for details

Everytime First Take talks about boxing I just laugh cuz boxing really isn't their sport.

Yeah, JMM.

Not as detailed as IMDAZED would... hit him up.

[crillz]

naaah. you should closely look floyds reume much closer. conveniently fighting cotto after cotto had several wars, at his slowest weight. floyds reputation for "ducking" "cherrypicking" opponents didnt happen overnight. It was long consistent process. Hes calling floyd to man up..nothing wrong with that.

you're choosing to see it just 1 way. I don't take nothing away from Pacquiao's win over Cotto, he won fair and square and if Cotto didn't like the deal he shouldn't have signed, simple as that, I get that. however, you're completely disregarding the politics behind why Floyd didn't fight Cotto back then, we all know it was due to his feud with Bob Arum. Once Cotto left Top Rank Promotions not even a month later he signs to fight Floyd, is that a coincidence to you?

he fought Cotto with bigger gloves than what Pacquiao had to face him with, at a weight Pacquiao wasn't willing to fight at him at hence his departure for Top Rank and gave Cotto his highest pay day yet. Cotto himself said he felt like himself before the Margarito loss, he showed in the fight against Floyd more of a fight than he showed against Manny and didn't do as much damage to Floyd as he did to Manny even with all the circumstances in Cotto's favor.

as for the cherry picking, who did he duck? I'll let you answer that. who did he "duck" that wasn't a Top Rank fighter? YOU tell me. he fought everybody, I don't really see who he ducked. what can you say Freitas and Casamayor? you really believe they would have beaten Floyd? even more you think it's fair to hold against Floyd that he didn't fight all the Lightweights when he was there and just kept moving up and not hold it just as much against Pacquiao that he fought Diaz out of all the guys there? or how about the fact that for his "8th division title" he fought a guy who wasn't even ranked for a vacant title at a catch weight? call a spade a spade is all I'm asking
