Comments Thread For: Haney: Mayweather Training Like He's Fighting a Top Welterweight

This is a mockery of a great sport with a garbage opponent

Floyd will have problems early due to the jab and size of Paul but once he get his timing down it's over! This guy gets winded his balance is terrible and he's not even a solid beginner.

This sucks and their ruining a once great sport!

Credit to Floyd for taking on a big young strong guy. BUT that still doesn't mean this fight should be on his official record, just like Connie McKrakkka shouldn't have been, nor Tenshin Nasukawa. These are only exhibition bouts because these are not real boxers and not ranked by any sanctioning bodies, which is the only thing that should be listed on a boxers official record. When Jimmy Wilde did the boxing booths, Jack Johnson, Dempsey, Benny Leonard, Joe Louis all did exhibitions, Milo Savage fought Judo Gene LeBell, George Foreman fought the Toronto 5, its on their records as exhibition bouts. Same thing when Ali fought Antonio Inoki, Lyle Alzado, Gorilla Monsoon and others. Oscar Coke La Hoya fought Shaquille O'neal, etc. They didn't try to pad their official record

Floyd's record is 50-0, NOT 51-0!! The fight with Tenshin DIDN'T count so what are you on about? McTapout went and got a professional boxer's license, so again, they did it per the current rules. So pipe down Lil Fella that's they're called EXHIBITIONS!!! For all of you saying this is ruining the sport but NOT speaking on guys fighting others coming off a loss and a TWO year layoff, don't speak on what's killing the sport!

At least somebody.is paying ATTENTION. It's an exhibition fight. We just saw one tyson vs Jones. It's certainly not HURTING the sport. Joe luis/ Dempsey/ Johnson/ Ali/foreman and many others did them. Only difference money hungry Nevada boxing granted McGregor a license with no prior boxing experience or amateur bouts. And broke their own rules by allowing 10 rounds. Not once in boxing history has someone making their professional debut been allowed 10 eds.

Floyd is doing nothing but hurting the sport and Devin should stop the fan boy worship and call a spade a spade. Floyd love saying you dont play boxing but thats exactly what this is. Nothing but a cash grab but definitely hurting the sport.

Was the great Ali hurting the sport of boxing when he was fighting Wrestlers and Karatekas?
Was Joe Louis hurting the sport of boxing when he fought numerous exhibition fights?

You can Google that and then respond. I’d really like to hear your response

Floyd fought in Japan and now he’s fighting a YouTube star, there is NO WHERE in any conversation that the two fights are being sanctioned by any boxing organization.
You know that so why ask?

[cwhitted@gm1]

You forgot to add Vegas allowed and sanctioned 10 rounds. Even Olympic boxers start off at 4 or 6 rounds turning pro.

[cwhitted@gm1]

State of Nevada sanctioned Conner. With NO prior amateur bouts for 10 rounds making his professional debut.

U didn’t bother to read what he said

The man didn’t say that fight counted but he did point out all the ones that were garbage and non ranked boxers including Mcgregor, so before checking someone; reading is fundamental!
