Comments Thread For: Garcia: Getting Mayweather His Next Foe Will Be Tough

[malcolm]

Hugging has nothing to do with the Sweet Science which by the way is a blurry definition for boxing in English-speaking countries and has nothing to do with hugging and running which Floyd does. He should be in MMA his hugging would help. Floyd lost but was given decisions vs Castillo, De la Hoya, Maidana and Paquiao. His KO percentage is so low it is funny.
Boxing is a martial art and combat sport in which two people engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, endurance and will, by throwing punches at each other, usually with gloved hands. Historically, the goals have been to weaken and knock down the opponent.
Rule #2 of the Queensbury rules. No wrestling or hugging allowed.
Start watching ballet.

Floyd exhibits elite speed. Check. Floyd has the best reflexes in boxing. Check. Floyd has legendary stamina and endurance. Check. Floyd has WILLED his way to 48 consecutive victories in the professional sport of boxing. Check. And he throws punches with a gloved hand.

By your very definition of the sweet science, Floyd qualifies as an elite Martial Artist.

You say Floyd lost all those fights, but the judges, most other elite leveled professional fighters, multitudes of fans and his official record all state he WON them all. Your argument is on life support.

Lastly, you say hugging isn't allowed and it's overall boring and unmanly.

Did you check Canelo Alvarez clinching James Kirkland in the first round? He was doing it to slow Kirkland's momentum down. If you were truly a student of the game you'd know that clinching is an invaluable tactic when fighting in the squared circle.

Have you ever watched a Klitshko fight? They clinch too. Do you hold them along with the majority of every pound for pound level boxer that clinches? Do you criticize them the same way you criticize TBE?

I doubt it.

Learn the SWEET SCIENCE before you criticize it's GRAND MASTER.

i just cant rock with trainers who coach headbutts and illegal career ending tactics..and still floyd gave him and his fighter a rematch..that says a lot about the fear that floyd doesnt have in his heart..his father told him he wouldnt give chino nothing..and i almost agreed after watching the first fight a few times..floyd is lucky he wasnt washed up after those fights..great at taking care of his body..

Lmao! Maidana haunts your effing dreams

Garcia should review the tape and take a closer look on who got warned by the Ref for low blow, elbowing, excessive holding and hitting! and running! and got BOOED inside his own territory! which give another meaning of TBE (The Booed Ever)

Any future/next opponent of Floyd jr should NOT agree fighting in LAS VEGAS, where, as they say: it is a place where Floyd Jr is a "protected item"!

[MC Hammer]

I'm sure that GGG will come down in weight to take his shot. Mayweather won't do it though. Too risky.

By September? Negotiations haven't even started, then you have to go through the whole HBO/Showtime and sponsorship thing. After all that GGG will still have to lose 6lbs of muscle that he didn't have to before. Even if this fight made any remote sense, it doesn't have time to come about.

[MRCHOKEaMF]

He should fight ADRIEN BRONER! The crowd would be behind him, and Broners mouth would sell even more than anyone else. Floyd vs Broner, Old vs Young, Floyds last fight!............................then announce his comeback from retirement fight vs manny. 1st Final fight = Mayweather vs Broner

WASN'T. EVEN. CLOSE.

Floyd schooled liar Pacman

Unless Thurman is his next opponent, I could really care less. It could literally be a taxi cab driver.

cotto rematch is whats needed hes the only fighter since delahoya to give him trouble and the only person to bloody him up

[Thickback]

And what if GGG comes down and stomps on Floyd knocking his az out what then?

GGG picked on a lil guy lol. But the world would be happy because Floyd lost.

Floyd won that fight easily. Maidana won more rounds than Cotto.
