Manfredo Jr. Bigger than Mayweather Jr.?

[RAESAAD]

guess what, hes right. to the casual fan manfredo jr is more well known than most fighters today.

This is true.........I have a buddy who is not really into Boxing but watches the big fights and the Contender and he thinks Manfredo and Mora are great fighters....... He also calls Floyd..... Merriweather because he barely knows who he is and has just heard of him a few times on ESPN.

lol if i saw Tarver, Manfredo and Mayweather walking down the street I would have to ask why Pretty Boy is hanging out with these slummies.

[Easy-E]

Lets be real.
Mayweather is known as the best boxer in the world today.
Anyone who follows sports in the slightest knows him.

anyways he does make a good point, my brother seen manfredo jr. and mora fight b4 he ever seen a floyd fight... and he still thinks they can beat him.....

The contender is a GREAT way to get exposure...

Peter is RIGHT! Man, Antonio Tarver could walk into any shopping center in the USA and people won't know him... but I bet they recognize Peter. Tell you what..I was at a show last year where Peter, Micky Ward, Marlon Starling and many others were present...and Peter BY FAR had the most people coming up for autographs

[scap]

The contedner gives this fight fan hope that one day boxing will be back in the mainstream...the contender really took hold and they did it with fighters who are not considered elite, hell in most cases the fighters onthe contenders were not even B level fighters.

When you tell a contender fan that Sergio Mora or Manfredo is not even in the top ten in the world they look at you like your nuts, they have no clue who the best of the best is....what if they did?

Every fighter has a story to tell and the contender boys got to share their stories, imagine Ouma getting his sotry to the masses or ****ing mathew Saad Muhammad-now these are real stories.

One day the elite will be back on center stage, I just hope Im here to see it!

he is more popular he's still a bum though

Well put...

I tell you this, I like and pull for Manfredo MUCH more than I do for Mayweather's woman beating ass.

I bet your buddy don't have hbo that's why he barely heard of mayweather. I think that's ******ed statement by manfredp. I bet the reason the ratings on that show rises cause of most ppl that watch that show are not boxing fans. And i bet most true boxing fans didn't really pay attention on that show. Like i said your buddy know manfredo more then floyd cause he either don't have hbo or he don't watch hbo boxing.
