    lol the only problems Floyd had was walking up flat footed on a guy that was 25lbs bigger and many inches taller, only guys that cant decipher what they actually see think he had problems.

    You got no idea how easy that fight was for him to just walk through him which is the total opposite of the real Floyd Mayweather.

          Everything but the MMA is king part is pretty close. I don't know where you get that from. The numbers will just never add up. You'll never get the supreme elite fighter in MMA because a guy with zero fighting experience can win the title. That may sound silly in general, but it's true. Look at Lesnar for example.

            Yes.... Well done, sir. VERY well done.

            I was trying to explain to two of my buddies who were arguing that McGregor did so well. They said, "He landed more than Pacquiao did!!" I had to calm them down and say, "because Pacquiao's punches mattered."

              Adonis Stevenson wasn't at fault for the Kovalev fight originally not happening....HBO was...for not matching the deal Adonis got offered by Showtime. If HBO matched the deal Stevenson vs Kovalev woulda happened in 2014.

              After that the fighters & their sides made all sorts of mistakes & had bs going on that effed up making the fight. But we'd have never gotten there without HBO f#cking sh^t up first.

                I wouldn't even call this an unpopular opinion so much as an astute opinion most people wouldn't be able to come up with cuz they don't even look at promoters close enough or consider that type of depth when they do look at them.

                But yea I agree.

                  MMA is for white boys that can't box (ask Floyd and Arum.)

                  JMM is 4-0 vs Pacquaio.

                  Ali is 0-3 vs Norton.

                  Tyson is the most overrated boxer in history.

                  Chavez vs Whitaker was actually close and competitive. (Let's fight )

                  Calzaghe retired to avoid a rematch with senile Hopkins.

                  RJJ's wins over Toney and Hopkins are overrated. Toney was drained and Hopkins was too green.

                  Hagler's biggest fights are against blown up fighters that moved up.

                  Ali ducked Foreman rematch with a su****ious excuse. he wanted George to rehire **** Sadler who Foreman said drugged him before the fight. Ali is suspect for that demand.

                  Fighters that end up disfigured and damaged after a fight deserve a bonus check. (Valdez and Quigg both cut their primes short in one night.)

                  every single Pound for Pound list ever created is worthless. (Yours too.)

                  there should be an option to mute out commentary but still listen to punches and crowd noise with one button. especially for PPV fights. if I'm paying $75 and don't feel like listening to commentary I should have that right.

                  Holyfield was juiced to the eyeballs. whole career is tainted.

                  Marciano is straight garbage truck juice. nothing impressive about him.

                    I don't think those opinions are unpopular, especially not the first one.
