"Mayweather doesn't fight like a man"

[El Angel]

Floyd has not been in a boring fight since the Baldomir fight. When it comes to you guys favorite fighters, when your favorite fighter loses or puts forth a dull performance, it's always the other guy. You can never say that about Floyd. Attack him, and see what you get. Fighters have so much respect for Floyd that when they do attack, they either can't sustain it, land, or draw him into a brawl.

Floyd-Marquez wasn't boring?

Floyd-Marquez wasn't boring?

No it was not.

The only thing floyd is good at is cherry picking fights and ducking fights. He is hyped up for politics. Networks Promoters and so on construct a path to riches. Who gets ***ed? The Fans! But we still pay.
As far as his boxing? Its boring. Lacks excitement and he does nothing special. Hes an average fighter. That needs the advantage to win fights.

[PAC-BOY]

No it was not.

You are a ***ing idiot!

[El Angel]

No it was not.

I didn't find Mayweather-Guerrero boring, but I don't see how Mayweather-Marquez wasn't boring after the first few rounds.

I'd say quite a few of his fights have had people walking out. I remember the analysts showing the camera pointing to people walking out in the Bladomir fight and that the arena was only aboyt 1/3rd full. Larry Merchant said that he just has never known any other top ranked boxer who only half fills arenas and had people walking out regularly.

With all that, I think this "fight like a man" talk is pure hogwash. Just children's talk. It depends on the fighter himself as to how he wants to fight. He may be psychologically inclined to self-preservation and there's nothing wrong with that. At the same time, if he's a pro boxer, the fans who pay the cash are generally less than cerebral. they prefer to see blood and gore, as the ancient Romans did in their gladiator contests. Human nature hasn't changed much if at all. Any fighter with defensive preferences and common-sense, will prefer not to be hit, let alone caught up in a blood-and-guts fight. Of course if he likes to be hit and hit back that's different, but I'd never criticise a guy who didn't.

Where I criticise Mayweather is his intolerable self-glorification, narcissism, and unbalanced opinion of himself, as well as the public spectacles he makes of himslf. I believe he is not quite sane. A champion, in the public eye, is supposed to be a credit to the country, and serve as a role model to young people growing up. Mayweather is the exact opposite of this.

It just happens that although completely undeserved he has gained a "hula hoop" kind of popularity which pays him undeserved millions. It'll pass like everything does.....

But, although I'll write about it if it comes up, like just now, I couldn't care less. i care nothing about his houses or cars, or ***elry, rings etc. or girl friends, I have all those myself except for ***elry which I don't think suitable for a man. But he can-and does-do what he likes, as far as the law allows. The kids hero worship on this site is laughable and that of those older (and supposedly wiser) is just pitiable. People should be able to appreciate skill without licking the feet of the doer. I can-and do.

I'm sorry if my post is too cerebral for you. Why don't you begin all over again with books featuring 3 letter words above which are the correct pictures. Then work up slowly to 5 letter words. (I omit 4 letter words because I'm sure you already know more than you should) I suppose it would have to be slowly......

I say this because I just don't want to tell you that you aren't too spacious between the ears...as Mark Twain might have said.

i have more respect for quitters like guerrero , ortiz , cintron , angulo , etc than i do for floyd ..coz atleast these guys went in the ring ...

this is the reason why floyd will never get the type of respect he longs for ...

Because they got in the ring? Almost all the guys you listed have LESS fights than Floyd and against weaker opposition. Yet you have more respect for them? None of those guys would've beaten De La Hoya at 154! Almost all of them would've gotten KO'd by the right hand Mosley landed on Floyd. All those guys have taken losses against weak opponents and yet you have more respect for them? You must be trollin' bro!

I know you're upset about the Pacquiao fight not poppin off but now you just sound emotional like a woman. Hell Floyd fought Marquez at 146 and people made excuses about the weight saying Floyd was too heavy, yet Pacquiao weighed 147 against Marquez(1lb heavier than Floyd did)and got KO'd lol.
Stop hating.

[Curtiz]

Its obvious who the real fans.

The same is in football with a 0-0 draw, i can appreciate lal the intricate build up play even without goals if the game is end to end.

Some people only think 6-0 games are worth watching.
