You say this because you only see the persona that has been created for Pac and Mayweather. Pac has a good guy persona that has been created for him to directly oppose the bad guy persona that Mayweather created. When in fact prior to this persona Pac was known for staying in bars, drinking too much, getting into fight and committing adultery. Now he is attending political functions and he and his bodygaurds are fighting ppl at these functions and he is not paying his taxes in any country. Mayweather definitely has his flaws but behind the scenes he has always given back to the homeless and helped out in his community. He took care of all funeral expenses for Genardo Hernandez, and Hattons team said after the fight Floyd was nothing shy of a gentleman and said that he called to check on the health of Hatton after the fight.

Well wasn't that Floyd's argument with Manny all along. That Manny was a hyped media creation? Now that the media is all over Floyd's nuts now he is absolutely loving it...talking being a f-in hypocrite. Just like his 2 fighters being dirty and yet he trying to clean up the sport. FAKE!Comment

Look guy, Pacman took a worst lost than Broner. Nobody is ducking pacman. He needs to make his self relevant in the next fight so that he's back on the radar. Safe opponents, I don't see Pacman fighting any 170 lbers anytime soon and I wonder why? Let's stick to the thread topic. Mayweather does not need to give Broner any tips on how to fight. Broner needs to let his ****ing hands go instead of throwing 15 punches a round and maybe he has a chance. He will not beat any of the top guys with output like that. Props to Maidana/Garcia for the perfect game plan.Comment

Both have always been hyped media creations. As much as we love the sport of Boxing, it is still entertainment, and yo have to be able to sell yourself, or your promoter has to be able to sell you. Look at Lara and Rigo, two of the best in the sport without question, but their promoters don't believe they can sell them. I don't think he was or is being a hypocrite, he was playing his villain role. But he no longer wants to be looked at as the villian. Mainly because he was never truly a bad guy it was just his hyped persona to sell tickets.
And come on now. You can't blame him for his fighters testing positive for PEDs. granted he is pushing to clean the sport up , so it doesn't look good. But lets be real, he is not in training camp everyday with these guys, nor is he going home monitoring what they eat or drink. He simply promotes these guys.Comment

Yupp! One Time can take one and give it as good as anyone so Broner don't wana see Thurman until he starts taking boxing serious. I believe 100% as a huge dedicated Floyd fan that May lies about not watching tape. It's what geniuses do, smoke clouds. I have no doubt that in his own time, on his own private laptop when nobody is around this ***** studies the $h!t out of his opponents. Nobody can be THAT prepared for EVERYONE without being on point in every aspect. So May goes in the ring and part of the "show" is the early feeling out rounds.
Broner I believe took that too seriously and really doesn't watch tapes or feel like he needs to because he "thinks" Floyd doesn't. I believe it's his biggest problem, fight preparation. May starts relatively slow as does Broner but the difference is, I think Mayweather KNOWS what you are going to try, and gives you the chance to start it so he can pick it apart and make you have to go to your plan B. Broner on the other hand is literally trying to figure his opponents out in the first few rounds and once he gets their rhythm, he's good to go. Maidana is not the type of fighter you can allow to blitz you and NOT throw back to stifle his aggression and offset his attack, so he got caught and was never able to recover. Most of the punches that buzzed Broner from round 3-12 on are shots that he would have eaten had he not been on noodle legs from round 2 and how well he took them and fought through it to the final bell has to be commended win or lose. i think we all will see a much better Broner from now on. His Pride wont let him have another night like this "if he can help it".Comment

Waiting to here this be said. I don't know what mental block stops this kid from throwing his hands but when he does it's magic! His hands are so gifted, if he would let go more and create hell for his opponents, his not so great defence would not be highlighted as much. A greatly executed offence is the best defence.
It's a hurdle I hope he gets over because he will not beat all the elites fighting at the "pace" he's been known to. In being buzzed hard and beat up against Maidana, AB put it on him in a few of those rounds when his head was clearing up. But than he'd stop throwing than El Chino would pop him again and buzzzzz all over again. He needed to capitalize on the few moments where he had Chino hurt, and to do that you have to be willing to let them dogs bark.Comment

Floyd is quite a deep brother. His support for AB is admirable.Comment

yea, you nailed it! I think Floyd watches tape as well, he knows to much about the game not to! broner couldn't measure distance nor get his output going vs maidana and that what shocked me the most. I knew maidana would win but I thought It would a lot closer! broner proved many right by not being able to walk down a heavy hitter, he tried pushing maidana back a few times and did ok but got caught with big shots while throwing his own, his knees buckled in the last rd when they both hit each other with hooks at the same time! lolComment

the greatest advise floyd can give his brotha broner are the techniques on how to duck worthy opponents.
