It seems Floyd getting hit and being made to actually fight has raised his stock

[HanzGruber]

im sure his next ppv will be higher no mater who he fights, people will wanna see how he is after his jail time. And he doesnt have too many fights left

[maguirre]

If anything, retirement is looking more and more attractive for Floyd now.

Some will disagree, but in my eyes, Floyd went to the corner on purpose, stayed there, challenging Miguel Cotto to hit him with everything he's got, and trade a bit with him. For the fans, I believe Floyd. Because he instantly turned off that toe to toe switch in the later rounds, and Cotto couldn't touch him.


If Floyd's legs are truly gone, he would not have fought rounds 9-12 moving around as good as he did, outboxing Cotto. his body language for rounds 9-12 was like "Okay Miguel, we fought toe to toe, time for me to get back to my old self and box these last rounds. Fun is over". Those are the rounds where you're most tired, and if you're legs are really gone, you would not move that well around the ring in those late rounds like Floyd did.

naw Manny and Bradley is a good fight and will sell great and if Manny is making 6 million Arum needs to be taken out back and shot.......all good for boxing

It will not sell great. I don't think this event will even sell out and as far as PPV goes, 850k at best. It's a decent fight, but the undercards are horrible and casuals (aka Pacquiao fans) don't know who Bradley is.

If he had just boxed and moved and won 12-0 it would have just been another win.but with him ****ing it out and getting bloody in the process it seems like hardcore fans and HBO seem to respect him more and his next ppv will more than likely sell even more than this one

The bold is just wrong and disappointing and whats wrong with the world. So PBF gets more respect for dumbing down his style to make it closer. But people don't get mad at the opponent for not being able to raise they game to make PBF do something different than just flat out boxing them.

Thats like coaches being mad talking about the other team ran up the score. No punk stop them from scoring and you won't anything to complain about.

I don't believe there is a such thing as running up the score. I don't believe in a person not doing what they do best to win cause people will complain about them making it look easy but not criticize the other person for not being able to do something about whats going on.

If you can't stop someone that is your problem not their's.

yeah he got hit but he dished out a beating as well. it was a exciting fight and satisfying for the fans. his accuracy dropped though...that tells you that if a fighter chooses to be more offensive, his accuracy suffers. you lose some of that timing when you throw more punches.

why is that????

[MindBat]

Mayweather could have stepped his game up any time he wanted. He went into this fight wanting to prove he can "fight" if he needs to and did exactly that. Don't be fooled into thinking he couldn't have made it easier for himself, Mayweather knows how to spoil when he needs to.

Green k on the way, dammit.

u mean he would have used more foot work, angles, n movement?

Exactly. Green for you sir.

i dont think he wanted to ko Cotto man to be honest.cause Cotto was there for the taking.Cotto earned his respect imo

Hit the nail on the toe, dammit.

12 Round against Cotto showed my what Mayweather COULD HAVE DOWN most of that fight if he wanted to

but he told fans he would go toe to toe and he did that, as far as getting hit more...other then Mosley in the 2nd Round he is still not getting hit with Damaging/Big Shots, Mayweather can stand in the pocket and he can even fight with his back against the Ropes and still make his opponents Miss...A LOT!

You know your a great fighter when you can fight MULTIPLE STYLES AND STILL COME AWAY WITH A COMFORTABLE WIN...not many fighters can do that in boxing today, unless a flat footed face first Brawler is in front of them, a lot of these fighters today won't look good at all

Gottdamm, green k all the way, KUTFO!

no he didnt dumb his style down he just stood his ground more,he was still evading the damaging blows and fighting smart

yeah he got hit but he dished out a beating as well. it was a exciting fight and satisfying for the fans. his accuracy dropped though...that tells you that if a fighter chooses to be more offensive, his accuracy suffers. you lose some of that timing when you throw more punches.

well i thing his accuracy going down had more to do with those 10 ounce gloves to be honest,thats why cotto wanted them cause they helped him cover up more

[vcvc]

he wont sell more ppvs in his next fight because of how he fought and anyone who thinks that is ******, it will depend on WHO he is fighitng.
