do you agree or disagree with knockout artist Thurman?

[eco1]

stupid to say that

[Redd Foxx]

Haven't watched the vid but it wouldn't be the first time that Keith said something really stupid about Mayweather.

[The Problem Child]

Says one of the biggest cowards in the sport right now who fights like a scared clown inside the ring retreating and running away from combat. STFU you coward.

Doesn't make much sense, the second fight wasn't that much easier, in the first fight it felt like Floyd has kind of off mentally at first and it took him a while to get into his rythm and to get to the fight, his defense, which a lot of people criticized that night, helped him win because when it looked like Maidana was working on the ropes, and he indeed was, he was not landing many damaging blows and he threw a ton of punches that either just made contact or got blocked or missed completely, and that got him tired in the second half.

It was either Floyd's game plan to let Maidana punch himself out since he could see all the punches coming or he really didn't have answers to the overwhelming attack and he waited Maidana out, either way the assumption that he did all that on purpose to justify a rematch is ridiculous.

I always felt it was a disservice to Marcos for people to say Floyd made the fight tougher on purpose. Marcos did a lot of things well that legitimately troubled Floyd. The double jab, changing levels, moving him to the ropes and his awkward ass punches. Floyd couldn't get a read on the punches and where they would come from which threw his countering off since it's about anticipation.

The time this occurred at couldn't be any better.

Marcos accomplished what manny was supposed to but failed to do just right before manny faced Floyd.

People went emo over Floyd-manny because the latter wasn't good enough to make the former fight. But anyone who truly follows boxing got a recent satisfaction from Floyd-Maidana.

Chino fought the best fight he could've possibly fought, tremendous jab, changing levels, feinting, head movement, the thing that cost him that fight was that he got tired after missing a lot on the ropes but if it wasn't for the volume of punches he threw on the ropes he wouldn't have won as many rounds as he did, but that got him tired and Floyd got sharper later.

Very tough offensive fighter with underrated skills, too bad we will never see him fight again at least at this level, he could've made a lot of noise in the welterweight division and imo I'd favor him over a lot of current top welterweights.

his whole career was full of sh-itty performances in order to land the mcgregor fight. what a genius

[Hype job]

No he took a lot of punishment in that fight.
