Comments Thread For: R. Mayweather: Floyd Needs KO Win To Get Full Credit

[SkillspayBills]

Ne he doesnt. They wont give him credit either way.

Bingo. They are already hedging their bets with excuses. Heck, a KO would more than likely make it worse for Floyd.

Floyd is a hypocrite for hiring a cheater like Ariza! Who does that...besides Manny? Oh, I forgot about Maidana. Do your homework, and check Justin Fortune's resume, and what Freddie said about him too.

You made me laugh when you brought up Fortune's name. Fortune can't even pass old testing protocols. Memo has 20 undetectables ready and lined up for Floyd.

How can there be pressure when we all know that Manny handles pressure like a cool cucumber. That in itself is making Floyd edgy and uncomfortable. He could have pulled those lines to someone like Guerrero and company but he didn't with Manny because Floyd knows better.

Manny is not in the same class as Floyd , as you will see when Floyd dominates him .

Youre right, Manny is far more superior than Floyd. Floyd will NEED a KO to win this fight. They know this. Its their game plan! sadly for him it wont work. Floyd is done.

It's not the class but Floyd does have a size advantage. Height and reach .....

Just 5 more days and we will see if Reloaded goes into hiding like he did when Floyd, a 154 title holder, demanded another 154 title holder to fight at the CW of 152. That brings back memories, doesn't it?

Floyd was the favorite in that fight.

Manny was a huge underdog. Even the Mayweather's said it wasn't a fight because Manny would get massacred. That is why Manny got more credit. Floyd was supposed to win and on the scorecard barely won. Manny on the other hand did to Oscar what people were expecting Oscar to do to Manny.

I'm not denying that Manny was an underdog, but he was fighting a 35yr. old man, at a weight that the man hadn't fought at in 7 years. Floyd beat the man at Oscar's comfortable weight of 154. It is only because of Floyd's superiror skill, that he can go up one weight class, and snatch the title from a Mexican hero, in Vegas, on Cinco De Mayo weekend. Oscar was the Big Dog then, not when he fought Manny.

However Fortune was dirty, and Freddie said so:

February 2, 2010:

Fortune is an Australian native and former power lifter who moved to the United States to compete as a boxer. He trained under Roach in the 1990s and later became Pacquiao’s conditioning coach.

The alleged defamation concerns a comment Roach made in a March 2010 interview with a reporter for the online publication ******.com.

After discussing boxer James Toney, Roach then told the reporter, “I think had one other fighter on steroids … Justin Fortune. I know that he’d been there before.”

In a sworn declaration in support of the dismissal motion, Roach said Fortune admitted to him that he used performance enhancing drugs, or PEDs.

“During the time that I trained (Fortune), (he) told me that he had used cycled performance enhancing drugs when he was training for the World Games as a power lifter in his home country of Australia,” Roach said in the statement. “Based on the information provided me by plaintiff, I believed that (he) had used PEDs.”

Manny got rid of one cheat, and re-hired another one. If you wanna crucify Floyd, you have to crucify Manny too!

Uncle Roger is showing some signs that he is not with his chicken nephew Floyd. Uncle Roger is asking for a KO from the chicken...something he knows is impossible because he knows very well that his chicken Floyd nephew does not have the strength. This will make it easier for the fighting Congressman Pacquiao to dispatch this chicken. GO MANNY GO

[mathed]

Dudes are so shook it is sad. He starts off blaming them [Pac fans] saying that they won't give him no credit.

Then in the very next breath, he proceeds to say: "Floyd's got to show, to me, he's got to show he's a dominant force over Pacquiao. That's what I think he's got to show. And then that shows how good he is. But he's got to show that. He's got to show that."

"As good as Floyd supposed to be......" - Roger Mayweather

What do you mean Roger, I thought he was definitely the best ever, better than Ali, better than Robinson?




Looks to me like both he and Senior don't think Floyd is up for the challenge. They need the reassurance that Floyd is as good as he says he is and feel that they need a quick KO in order to win or they are going to get worked over.

Oscar was the Big Dog then, not when he fought Manny.

Oscar was more active prior to fighting Manny and Oscar fought at 150lbs the fight prior to Manny. Even after the fight, Oscar's trainers blamed Manny's southpaw style as the real issue not the weight ..... Oscar was making weight even before the weigh in.

Issue had in part to do with Oscar's training game plan to come in light to gain speed and like what I just said, Oscar was having issues against quick explosive southpaws in training camp. That just continued once he fought an even better southpaw in Manny.

I have said this in prior posts that against both Manny and Floyd, Mosley and Oscar were no longer prime fighters. Far from it.
