Lampley's Anti-Gatti List

[daggum]

i think the main problem is some people confuse cheating with defense and skill. a lot of these people seem to be boxing refs as well.

[ElMeroChingon]

so a fighter who holds, backs away consistently, pot shots, and boxes primarily isn't negative now?



you understand that this is what a great boxer can look like, correct? and that mayweather is negative in comparison by any unbiased standards?


robinson isn't well filmed at WW, but what we've seen from him has been more aggressive and open than either hearns or leonard. mayweather looks like he's sparring by comparison.



not only can these three box, they have a second dimension in which they become aggressive and turn your lights out.


you and your little crew are the only people who don't think floyd mayweather is negative. you're just going to have to accept that you're biased. do you not agree that you're biased toward floyd? i have no biases against floyd mayweather. i paid a lot of money to travel to vegas and watch him fight canelo.

Good post right here.

The canelo fight just did ratings over 2, meanwhile Pbc on network television did half of that. Why would hbo be desperate?

Throw in the fact that HBO is a PAY channel and we all can appreciate HBO ratings more. Its called Prize Fighting for a reason, people want action!

Nothing curious about it, there's nothing to dispute at that weight class. He was more exciting. But I'm not going to be convinced that he was past prime vs Oscar or Shane for that matter.

You're entitled to your opinion. One thing's for sure, he certainly wasn't fighting the same.
