You're comparing apples and oranges. Floyd is a pure boxer. Shaq is not a fighter, he's just big. Holm has ~15 years of mixed martial arts experience, 5 of which at the highest level. Plus several years of world-level boxing experience.
You might as well compare a 6'3" biker from the bar vs. 5'9" marine.Comment

It's funny because Mayweather took the time to give her good career advice in saying ''These people are with you on Friday and against you on Sunday." It's always the case when someone becomes the darling of the people; the adulation gets to their head and they forget how many allies they truly have.Comment

especially for hyped based fighters like ronda and manny. Their styles essentially allow them to take shortcuts in cultivating a fan base. When **** is cheaply made it's more likely to fall apart.It's funny because Mayweather took the time to give her good career advice in saying ''These people are with you on Friday and against you on Sunday."

Putting Pacquiao in the same boat as Rousey is idiotic. He was justifiably the second best boxer for many years and picked up great, legacy defining wins before his rise to stardom. I would say that she's more comparable to someone like Chavez Jr or Adrien Broner.Comment

Hear is the deal on overrated. When some people wonder if Rousey could beat a top male fighter, or some people say she is the best pound for pound fighter in the world, I call that overrated when she got completely handled throughout the entire Holm fight. It was not even close. She was dominated so badly she does not deserve a rematch based on performance. She does deserve a rematch based only on her status and the fact that she was once had the 135 belt.
She has performed well and deserves to be famous because of the nature of her victories. She has worked extremely hard and is a focused athlete. Nobody can take that away from her. Her intensity cannot be matched, and she is the best at using Judo. Similar to Hoyce Gracie using BJJ when no one else knew how to defend it or use it. Now we've found someone who can defend against her Judo throws and punch her flush in the face many many many many times. She had no abililty to defend herself
Her wrestling is non existent and again she has no boxing defensive skills, as well she can not throw any kind of kick let alone a leg kick. These skills are a must to be the best in MMA. She cannot do them and never could, therefore she is not the best, that's why I call her overrated. Tell me where you've ever seen her execute these boxing and wrestling skills at a high level. She had her chance last Saturday. Female fighters are getting better all around and she is limited to Judo. When Judo is nullified she is done.
On an irrelevant note, she is not a nice person. I do not respect her for that. And for me women's MMA is as important as the WNBA.Comment

Its media hype man. Shes in a combat sport where anything can happen. Tyson losing Douglas, ALi losing to Spinks. These things can happen. Its not about being overrated. She was the champ who defended her title. I wanted Rousey too lose but i cant call her overrated. Those who trained with her including men are impressed with what she can do.Comment

Fair to say but no one knows why the fights did not happen either. We all know Ward has been very inactive and Triple G likes to be active so ill side with Triple G in not wanting to wait on Ward. Lara seems to talk a little too much, he really hurt himself with that Canelo performance. That was his chance, he showed more aggression in the build up of the fight then during it. Closest he ever got to Canelo were in the face offs. So whatever the reason maybe those fights happen one day. Cant so he said they said when we have no idea.Comment

Wrong buddy, its self control. Look how Tyson was screaming at Lennox Lewis. Some of the most disgusting verbal attacks and Lewis had self control didnt fire back. Same with Haye against Wlad. Someone like Floyd attacking and verbally assaulting his opponents is a sign of insecurity my friend. You are level headed when someone has self control.Comment
