Floyd never took any risks

[hugh grant]

Manny had a 1 off fight at 154 and fought Margo at 150...Nelo is Floyds legacy fight yet you say Manny is the best fighter of this era BUT FLOYD BEAT HIM??? How does that even make sense? nothing you posted makes sense..Floyd was a unified and lineal champ at 154 and 147 at the same time

Big Dunn said if fighting nelo at 152 isnt a risk how come PAC fighting Cotto at 145 is?
I replied people forgive PAC as he has campaigned at the weight he had initially had a cw in for another 10 years. Floyd didnt. He not only didn't have anymore fights at 154 he retired only 2 years later. I mean people will see that as my gosh Floyd don't you want any hardship at all. You don't fight outside your country for god's sake Floyd give me something to rave about. Give me something to big you up about.
Don't bloody mention the margarita fight that's PACs bloody 9th weight division. Compare like for like for gosh sake

Floyd was the favorite in every single fight in his career. why didn't he take any risks? pac has been uhe underdog at least 4 times i could find, probably more. canelo 3 times. eric crumble every time. do you think it hurts floyds legacy? do you think someday floyd will be rememberd as the risk-averse bum basher of his day? similar to how ggg is now?

His legacy!

[DARTH SILKWORMS]

The two times Floyd had close fights, he gave his opponents immediate rematches.

He went after the WBC champion in every division instead of cherry picking whatever the easiest belt was.

He went up to junior middleweight, without a catch weight, and beat Oscar for Oscar's world championship.

He went up to junior middleweight again, without a catch weight, and beat Cotto for Cotto's world championship.

He went up to junior middleweight a third time and beat Canelo for Canelo's unified world championship and handed him his only loss.

Pillow gloves, hmmmm only someone who has never boxed has that mentality.

So Maidana has never boxed before?

“The gloves that I used in the first fight were not very comfortable and they felt like pillows. The issue with the gloves is I want to use the gloves I’ve used." - Maidana

Floyd didn't even want Maidana to fight with approved gloves! Floyd insisted on them PILLOW GLOVES!!!!


Floyd, what a risk taker ….

No problem
Maybe I should of said very calculated lol
Anyway we’re on the same page

Navigating one's career where they maximize their financial income is one thing. Then there's the stunt Pac pulled. He fools people by being hyper aggressive and humbly smiling in front of the cameras.

If he were the same guy but arrogant like May, I wonder if his fans would still hail him.....

Manny isn’t my hero. I respect most boxers and Floyd and manny are two of my fav fighters but I don’t follow blindly like you *****s or gtards or *******s or gintards and so on and so on. I call a spade a spade doesn’t matter what. I keep it real something the vast majority of posters on here especially you are afraid to do. Keep hating with your ignorant azz and kick rocks

You only get triggered when the guy you claim NOT to be your hero is exposed

Your display of emotions is sooooo sweet

As usual, you've avoided answering the question in the post and instead posted incoherent gibberish.

You are making excuses why these men lost most likely because you picked them to beat Floyd. If making Canelo come in at 152 is not a rsik, how can Manny fighting Cotto at 145, Morales at 130 or Margs at 151 be "risk"? I know you'd like to have it both ways but you can't.

Manny is scheduled to fight the winner of Spence/Porter to unify the titles. If he were to win, we all would expect him to fight Crawford for all 4 belts. What is wrong with that? What does that have to do with this thread?

I see that you are trying to deflect away from what was said. The other poster pointed out what I have already pointed out previously to you. If it was Floyd, not Manny, you would be OK that Floyd fights someone like a Berto and calls it a day instead of fighting Spence or Crawford. Too risky for Floyd. You want to protect Floyd at all times.


Canelo at 152: Canelo did NOT want to fight at 152. He was adamant that he would have trouble making 152. Canelo was interviewed a bit before the fight. Canelo admitted that making weight was the hardest thing out of his whole training camp!!!

Cotto at 145: He was asked the same question in an interview. Cotto laughed it off. He said that he easily made 146 in his previous fight against Clottey. See the difference?

Margarito at 151: Margarito was a 147lb fighter. He got a 4lbs bonus!


Floyd had already fought at 154 for the title and won. So that makes it 2 reasons why you do NOT call that fight with Canelo a risk. Third reason is that Canelo was super green back then that had trouble with stamina. Draining Canelo does NOT help your stamina issues!!!

You deal in fantasy sir. I said go watch the fight. He was in trouble in that fight and showed courage and overcame as he did every time he faced adversity in the ring. And gave him a rematch to prove who the better fight is

Sorry, but they had marketed Maidana in that fight as a KO artist then they removed his gloves! So that there is not a risk taker!!!!


In that fight?
The NEVADA judges were not going to let an Argentinian win over a home town VEGAS guy named Floyd. You said that Floyd was in trouble but if you look at the scoring, Maidana could have done the same in the 2nd half of the fight and still have lost 8-4 ! 2 judges had Floyd comfortably ahead after 6 rounds, while you admit that Floyd was in trouble!!!



If before you start the fight, you have the opponent fight with pillow gloves then cry about getting a ref that should and DID take out points for Maidana then who cares that Floyd won the rematch! Floyd removed the risks then fought!!!!

“The gloves that I used in the first fight were not very comfortable and they felt like pillows. The issue with the gloves is I want to use the gloves I’ve used - Maidana

If padding has that big of effect on your punches you punch like a women.

Maidana has no issues with his hands so he can fight with punchers gloves. Floyd has issues so he needs to protect his hands and wear gloves that protect his hands.

BUT

that does not mean that Maidana should have to fight with those type of gloves when he is comfortable fighting with APPROVED gloves!!!!

Even though they were approved, Floyd didn't want Maidana fighting with them!!!! What a risk taker …

Oh look. My son who ran from home after I was whoopin his ass decided to come back


You're a disgrace.

I thought you left this place since you were proven to be a cheat!!!! You had OK'd 3 judges in which you definitely knew would have given you the edge but pretended that they would not have. That sir, is a CHEAT!!!

I didn't want your points but as a CHEAT, you said that you would close your account!

Once a CHEAT, you will always be a CHEAT!
