Comments Thread For: Mayweather Reacts on All Access: F*** Oscar De La Hoya!

Well, when you find out the truth of what truly happened, let us know Alton.

I wouldn't judge anyone here on this message board if they were accused of something or convicted. Ish happens that you have no control over. 99.9% of the time it takes two to tango.

You are right, **** does happen, but how many times has Floyd been accused of a violent crime?

[Desert Warrior]

Floyd already whooped Oscar once. Maybe as an added bonus, they can have Floyd school him again after he KO's Canelo

"Whopping" and Floyd do not belong in the same sentence......what Pac did to DLH, Hatton and Cotto is what you call real ass-whoppings! Floyd barely sc****d a SD and technically one official judge saw DLH beat Floyd. I wouldn't call that a "whopping".

This is his only threat then why did you pick Robert to beat him then?? Oh AIGHT

Cause dipstick I wanted to

Sparring isn't a fight. You work on things, and at times it gets intense, but sparring is not a fight. If I were to believe you or the writers, boxers would be totally worn out to the point that sparring is banned.

In sparring you can't get hit with some of the basic punches.

You work on slipping the jab, rolling, parrying, pressure, cutting off the ring, avoiding big right hands and left hooks and vice versa, Ropeadope etc...

You don't go in to wear down the champ or the sparring partner. Fighters often congratulate sparring partners after fights for pushing them.

Frank, I don't think you know much about it. The points you mention are only part of sparring, and in Mexico, and especially with JC Chavez, and in that time period which was long before you came on board, there was nothing fancy or "learning" or "practicing' about Chavez's sparring. His BIG forte was his super body attack and he practiced it mainly on Castillo and didn't pull his punches. I've read stories by reporters who saw them, and the sparring was ferocious. Castillo even spoke about it giving it as the reason for his being able to survive and prosper after he became known on his own. Chavez had no use for a fragile sparring partner, he was the king and they got paid to suffer.

He was completely unknown until he sc****d that decision against an unfit and disinterested Stevie Johnson. I saw that fight when it happened as I did the return. I followed Johnson, and had never heard of Castillo. That was when that stuff was written about him. He'd had over 40 fights and just about EVERY ONE had been in one-horse towns in Mexico. For the average fighter his career was already just about over.

I should have added that contrary to what you say, the basic punches are positively used in sparring, because they are the average fighter's bread-and butter. Without them being perfected and continually used, a boxer rarely can make any kind of successful career. I know that you can probably scratch around and find someone or other who managed without them, but I don't know anyone. Just remember, Tyson, 5'10" based his whole style and career on his left jab.. And he had a reach of ....what...about 70", in a period of giant athletic, agile heavyweights

flint doesnt understand anything...i believe he is 12 years old with no ability

to reason or logic. he is quite unintelligent. its kinda sad

what you wrote above is correct, and common sense, dude just doesnt get

anything

The funniest part, is that flint will rant and rave that Manny only fights TR fighters.

[Vasyl’s dad]

Not that I care but after September 14th Mayweather will be #1 on that list and the highest earning athlete of 2013.

You say that as if its a fact.

put aside the fanatic perspective here and let's be honest

Floyd is the Lb-4-Lb king. People expect him and want him to lose here & there, but Floyd manages to win. Give Floyd his due. Floyd is the man in the ring no doubt, he's the black mamba of boxing. But I also agree with Pac fans that Floyd is not on par with Pac of being the man outside the ring. Through adversity and trials Pac manages to keep a smile on his face and think positive about everything. Like his KO experienced with the second lb-4-lb king Juan Marquez, even though he lost, during this face-off with Brandon Rios, it's like he never lost at all. I admire Pac for that, and that's why I'm a big Pac-Man fan myself. But I will always like my boy FLoyd, because he's a magician in that ring. Untouchable. Hands down. I still want him to fight Pac though.
