Comments Thread For: White To Boxing Critics: No Excuses When Mayweather is KO'd!

I expect professionals to act like it. Having opinions is a fine thing but acting as if they are personally insulted makes boxing look thin skinned to say the least. This should be embraced if only because it puts boxing on the minds of people it never would have before. I would be willing to bet the UFC wouldn't be acting this way.

As for Conor being a Floyd knock off, I would have to disagree. If you said he is a Bruce Lee knock off that cant move and elude as well, you might have had a point.

When I called conor a floyd knock off I was referring to his bragging, and displaying his wealth. There is no where in any solar system would conor be referred to as a Bruce Lee knock off. Watch clips of Bruce at regular speed. You can't even see his hands move. You're drinking the conor cool aid and thats cool, but don't act like the ufc is above antics. Dana is known for cheap party tricks. And after this fight you will see why max kellerman was insulted by conor comparing himself to floyd.

I did and I respect almost everyone views, except for azz holes. Let me ask you this, if this fight was a ufc fight would you say floyd has a chance and every ufc pundits is dead wrong for saying floyd has no chance? And by the way I was not referring to you when I said azz holes. I think you are genuine in your post. I just don't see how conor in his 1st boxing match can prevail vs the best defensive, overall fighter of this era. But we will see tonight.

Cool. Its why i dont post on this site. Too many fights and not enough willingness to learn or just except others opinions so i appreciate your words. If you were to reread my post you would see that I never said I had a problem with someone saying they thought he would lose or had no chance. My problem is when the "experts" seem to be offended like it was personal to them, or that boxing is somehow degraded by this match. Rolling their eyes, calling it a farce, etc. Kellerman is probably the worst offender. His claim that Conor wouldn't land a punch was proven very wrong by how the fight played out. He ended up with more clean punches than pacman and a number of other so called "elite" boxers. He clearly and cleanly won the 1st 3 rounds despite what the score cards said which is borne out by the punchstats. I know the UFC owners, etc are azzholes, my point is that they wouldnt be dissing boxing in the same way. Yes, they might all believe they will win, but they wont be insulting the cash cow that an event like this brings to their sport, and they wont be rolling their eyes and calling the fight a farce.
I have loved boxing for a lot longer then MMA and thought they made the sport look like jealous children that were very scarred what might happen. All in all, i enjoyed the fight much better then the May PAc fight. Did Kellerman call that fight a farce?
