Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr: Broner Only Fought Stiffs, No Real Fighters

[hitking]

Floyd v Pac is still the biggest fight out there, sir.

Pac needs to get himself outta the losers' bracket, sir.

those are threats but no when he fought them. mosley and cotto way past prime. marquez fight was a joke we saw what happen wit Ortiz. the only one on equal terms was guerrero

Mosley was coming off the second or third biggest win of his career when Floyd fought him and was the consensus P4P #3. It amazes me how folks had played the "he was past it" card with that fight.

As for JMM. Exactly how was that fight a joke? JMM seems to me to have shown him self to be fully capable of beating top competition in the welterweight division. You can't retrospectively disregard fights simply because the outcome wasn't what you had hoped.

damn but if Floyd's his brother doesn't that make Sr had daddy?

Broner will prove his place in the top 10 p4p. Yall must have forgot how good Broner was. He just had a "bad" fight with no gameplan vs Malignaggi.

Mosley was a good enough fighter for Pacquiao to duck, then fight after Floyd. Cotto was good enough for Pacquiao to try to fight AGAIN.

When will people learn. Floyd sr has no say in who floyd jr fights neither does floyd sr care about who floyd jr is cool with. Hes going to say what he wants. This is not to gain interest in a broner fight, this is floyd sr own opinion

It may be that I want this to be true since this fight is interesting if only for the press conference exchanges. You may be right that Sr has no final say in who Jr fights. However, I think he does advice him. Floyd Jr has shown throughout his career he values money very highly. Broner v Mayweather is probably one of the more interesting fights he can make because of the medias'/fans' perception of student teacher (as FMJ put it I'm Myagi, Broner is Daniel San) relationship.

I don't think a possible Broner vs Floyd fight is out of the question. But I doubt that's why Big Floyd made those comments. He was just giving his opinion. He knows Broner and Lil Floyd are friends. How could he not know. Broner was at the gym watching Floyd train for Guerrero all through out his camp.

Mayweather sent his pops to start trouble with the Broner camp to set up one of his next fights..this is how the beef starts.. Mayweather trying to get paid, he is not dumb. Won't be too long before Broner stops that I won't fight my brother crap.

[uniquehump]

Sr. just simply stating his opinion, which I think is true if you exclude the Paulie fight. I like Broner, but think he has some improvements to be made before being considered an elite fighter. He's off to a good start with 3 titles in 3 weight divisions at the age of 24. The way this fight will be made is if Broner's camp began to take exception to these statements made by Mayweather's camp. The fight will most likely happen, but not within his so-called final 5 fights. Mayweather will sign-up for a 7th fight with Showtime or a 1 fight deal with HBO and fight Broner for his potential 50th win.

Floyd Sr is not impressed with Broner's shoulder roll what a shock it's working for him and it will continue to work for him against real fighters

[Ray Corso]

Floyd will abandon the roll too if he ever fights anyone whose willing to fight him hard for12 rounds! The roll works fine for Floyd when the opponent is a light hitter or a fghter who won't commit to busting the roll up!!
Jab into the chest and hook into the left shoulder and drop a rght hand on the left side (body/kidney) thats exposed!!! Punch into the elements of the roll, not the normal targets!!!
This isn't new its the modified defense that Archie Moore used and many other fighters also! The only counter out of the roll for Floyd to throw is a right hand and there won't be much on it because of the weight distribution.

Theres a reason Mayweather never wanted Manny. Manny would have steped up into the roll and fired multiple shots at the key points and forced Floyd to go back to his original mode! Thats not to say he can't win fighting that way either!!! Floyd has plenty of talent to win both ways!
Nothing new about the shoulder roll its as old as the Lobster Roll or Egg Roll.

Ray

if anyone here thinks Brone can't box without the roll ypour not in tuned to him. He was a very good amatuer boxer and is well schooled by his trainer on laterial moves and pivot moves too! He could employ boxing and fighting very well. That said will he remember that stuff when someone as strong as him smashes him in the face???? Thats what Me and Floyd Sr. want to see!
