Just watched First Take talk about Mayweather's ATG status.

[PAC-BOY]

Here's a couple lines from the segment:

Stephen A. Smith: "Boxing isn't about standing there and trading punches like Andre Ward and Arturo Gatti." (RIP)

Stephen A. Smith also said that Canelo is a one punch knockout artist.

2 Chainz mentioned that Mayweather and Leonard didn't fight in the same weight class.

Skip Bayless said some things, but I can't recall. I wasn't really paying attention to be honest. I guess in Stephen A.'s defense, I'll assume he meant Micky Ward, not Andre Ward. Still a pretty bad mistake though. I don't even know why I bothered to watch. I guess being such a huge fan, I always listen, read or watch when boxing is the subject, for better or for worse.

:manyWORD: What the *** ever. Tell that to the roaring crowd who stands on their feet cheering when two combatants duke it out in the middle of the ring.
Trading blows and trading knock downs cuts swelling and broken bones mixed with blood and the heart and will of the survivor as well as the determination of the aggressor. Combined in a war until one ends up on his back or even quits on his stool.
The hell with that pitter pat, pot shot, dancing around hand picked opponents thinking of health first. Thats for rich Cowards.

cool alot of Mister know it all on these boards too...Espn been around for what 30-35 years?? Cover every Hagler, SRL fight, Skip Himself Covered Ali... But hey they don't know **** about Boxing!!!!!

I'm sure some of you ****s sit home during the NFL pre-game show(Ditka,Boomer? he don't know **** about football)

NBA Pre game(Wilbon, Magic? they dont know **** about basketball)

a ****ing scientist can come on CNN that made a Nuclear Bomb, emphasizing the Dangers of it....and im sure some of you will say "he don't know **** about bombs"

Funny Funny Bunch!!!! Can't wait to Meet Micheal Jordan,Or a reporter that covered him his entire career to tell them, they dont know **** about basketball

mtv's been around just as long. mtv stands for music television. go see about their programming and come back to me. espn is the fox news of sports channels. they have zero credibility. and why would you bring up magic johnson? he got let go from espn for bill simmons. goes to show how much you know.

I know but it didn't have anything to really do with sports, he just knew and hugged tyson after the fight

A 100 million dollar sporting event, in the Mecca of Boxing(Las Vegas), 2pac walked Tyson out on several occasions...AND it doesn't have to do with sports???

I guess the earthquake in the bay during WorldSeries had nothing to do with sports either...

That wasn't the part of the quote I found ridiculous. I love a good toe to toe battle just like anyone else. I was referring to the fact that he mentioned Andre Ward, although it might have been by mistake.
