FLOYD GETS OWNED ON SATELLITE RADIO

I don't need to look it up. He could have been much worse. I've certainly read worse on Boxing websites and heard worse on the radio.

 

Sorry to read that. I do agree that unlike most people, the confused White guy did know something about boxing. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Eloquent it was not.

 

I agree about having to fight a top welterweight, but I think him fighting Pacquiao (if he beats Cotto) is fine. Pacquiao will have proven that he can beat one of the best welterweights (better than any WW Floyd has beaten) if that happens.

Before I didn't like the matchup, now I don't mind, although from a pure boxing perspective I'd prefer him to see him in a fight either Cotto or Mosley.

Mayweather-Williams is a 10000-1 shot of ever happening, and I don't care to ever see Margarito in a ring again.

 

Nor do I. Williams is the only welter I think would beat Floyd with absolute ease. It will ever happen though. Williams is the most avoided fighter in boxing.

 

why does this interviewer talk like a black guy

 

because he wishes he was one?

 

Because you don't have to be black to have soul. Plus he's from New York where that tends to happen. A lot.

 

So are people who speak proper English Souless?

 

By "Proper English" R U Referring to the Language Spoken in ENGLAND???...Because VERY FEW of Us Americans Speak It, N Fact the English Label what we Use as "BROKEN English"...

Not Really Sure what YOUR Idea of "Proper English" Is...


REED:hammert:

 

Proper English is not what we heard in the Youtube video. Standard American English is I believe what it is called. Proper English is English in which the word "Motherfucker" and "Riding on my Dick" are not the main support of the sentence.

I just think it is sad when the word eloquent is used when two troglodytes are rambling on for 20 minutes. I write informally here. I think it is sadder that you cannot comprehend what "Proper English" is.

Don't get me wrong. I speak informally often when I am in an informal environment. At work, I don't and I am shocked how often I interact with people who can't raise their level of speech even in serious situations.

 

Floyd Mayweather = 5'8, 72 in reach
Manny Pacquiao = 5'6, 67 in reach

Floyd probably weighs 155 fight night, Manny more like 145. With Floyd's boring ass style I can't see this as an exciting fight at all as Manny would HAVE to come forward as the reach would be too great to try and box him, easy UD for Floyd here.

 

Pretty much, but PBF's slothful style will make it closer on the cards. I can't see Manny beating him. PBF has no pride and only feels an obligation to entertain OUTSIDE the ring. People want to see it but after round 2 they won't which can be said for almost all of PBF'S FIGHTS the last 4 or 5 years.

 

"Eloquence" has to Do w/RECOGNIZING your Subject AND Audience & RELAYING Your Message EFFECTIVELy...Nobody Really Gives a Fuck How Many $5 Words U Can Defecate on Command, ESPECIALLY in a BOXING Environment...Boxing is a COMMON MAN's Sport & the Dude was Using COMMON MAN'S Verbiage...

Did U Honestly NOT UNDERSTAND or COMPREHEND the Words he was Saying???...Just Because he had a Potty Mouf & Used Slang DOESN'T Mean Dude WASN'T Eloquent...



REED:hammert:

 

Manny's Actually SHORTER than 5'6, but your Point WITHSTANDS...


REED:hammert:

 

Yes, it absolutely does. It was effective. It conveyed a point perfectly. It matched fire with fire. However, the word Eloquent is not accurate. That is exactly my point. It was not eloquent at all. Was it appropriate? Yes!! I agree with you. Boxing isn't the common man's sport either. The common man is a filthy idiot. Boxing is the urine off of the common man. It is the slime of the earth's sport. Luckily, it is but a small part of my life but it is admittedly the lowliest and stinkiest part of my being.

 

We'll have to disagree. This isn't high tea at Buckingham palace and the guy is not a professional interviewer. Context is key.

You asked me to look up the word, here is the first definition:

Eloquence (from Latin eloquentia) is fluent, forcible, elegant or persuasive speaking in public. It is primarily the power of expressing strong emotions in striking and appropriate language, thereby producing conviction or persuasion.

I see no reason why that interview can not be described as such. In life (ie not on a boxing messageboard) I speak and write 'correctly' as I have been taught it. To say that you cannot find eloquence in a delivery that does not match your own is extremely close minded.

 

That Certainly Sheds LIGHT on your OVERT Negativity, which U Swear ISN'T Schtick...The OBVIOUS Question is, WHY BOTHER???...Since U Apparently LOATHE Pretty Much EVERY Fighter who's Laced Up Gloves, Since Boxing is a "Small", yet "Lowliest and Stinkiest Part" of YOUR Being, WHY Bother???...

If REED had NATHAN Good to Say about a Sport or Its' Practioners, he WOULDN'T Waste his Time w/that Sport Whatsoever...

F.Y.I., "Eloquence" Means, "Characterized by Forceful and Appropriate Expression" or "Movingly Expressive"...Whether or Not U Liked the Vulgarity or Slang of what Dude was Saying he was CLEARLY "Eloquent"...



REED:hammert:

 

I wasn't disparaging you, sir. Just the choice of word. The speech was not fluent or elegant::::Hence, not eloquent. It was certainly forcible and persuasive. That is the reason I do not think it was eloquent. I can see why people would object to my objection. It had nothing to do with the appropriateness of the interview. As Reed said, Boxing is not for a sport of the upper class and nor should anyone have an expectation that is should be. I just thought it was a funny way to describe the interview and that type of expression can never be eloquent.

 

As usual, you left out the entire definition to support your argument. Who knows why I bother. Most chicks are worthless, lowly diseased riddled skanks who barely deserve oxygen, yet I would hardly suggest they aren't worth the bother. Life is perception. In the end, life is completely meaningless. That is one hell of a stupid way to look at life even if it is 100% true.

It is entertaining that is why I bother. It is also a loathsome, lowly, disgusting and corrupt sport. Ask any fighter.

 

The quote itself shows that it CAN be described as such. Either way, I wasn't taking a shot at you. I can see why you'd think the word was not appropriate. I believe it was or I would not have used it. In the end, it's just my opinion.

 

That Same Fighter will Tell U he LOVES Boxing Though...Shit, in the Short Time that REED has Been Matchmaking, he's Seen ALOT that he LOATHES about the Sport...But @ the End of the Day, REED Absolutely LOVES it & Could Rattle Off Half a Hundred Different Reasons Why...

YOU, on the Other Hand, RARELY if Ever have ANYTHING Good to Say about the Sport OR the Fighters...Perhaps U're OVERTLY Negative in EVERY Facet of your Life...



REED:hammert:

 

I am negative I guess, but I have always been pretty popular. Most people describe me as negative, but when I challenge them on it they usually concede I am not. I am certainly not optimistic. I agree. I think my sense of humor is lost in the written word although my sense of humor is very, very dark. I would love to hear 10 reasons why boxing is not a disgusting sport, if you can list 50 please do.

 

that was good.......in fact that was great. those guys were absolutely fucking beautiful. they're my new heroes.

 

1. When Jim Lampley Says "Tale of the Tape" on the Night of a Highly Anticipated Fight...

2. The Ringwalk of a Highly Anticipated Fight...
3. Those Precious Seconds Right After the Staredown, yet just PRIOR to the Opening Bell, Wondering WHO will Punch 1st, WHO will B the Aggressor Initially, Thinking that the Months of Hype R Now OVER, etc...

4. Boxers R THE Most ACCOMODATING & APPRECIATIVE Athletes in the World, when it Comes to Receiving Attention from the Media...For as JADED as a Guy like Floyd May Seem by it, there's about 10,000 Boxers who'd Have your Back FOREVER if U Gave them just a SLIVER of Coverage...

5. REED is Able to Supplement his Otherwise MEASLEY Income by Bootlegging Boxing DVD's Throughout the Dallas/Ft. Worth Area...There's NO OTHER Sport that has the Tapes/DVD Market of Boxing...

6. If U Watch ENOUGH Boxing, U're Rewarded Several Times a Year w/Bouts like Marquez-Diaz...

7. Ring Card Girls, Particularly when U have ACCESS to Them:cheer:...
8. Interacting w/Accomplished Fighters on a Personal Level...Being a Boxing Nerd, there's Admittedly NO Better Feeling than GENUINELY Being Friends w/GOOD Fighters, Dudes U'd Actually PAY Money to Watch Fight...

9. The CELEBRITY Presence @ a BIG Fight...Even Today, there's NATHAN COOLER than Being RINGSIDE @ a Big Fight...The ONLY Thing Comparable is Sitting Courtside for an L.A. Lakers Game...

10. DOMINANT Performances...Pac-Hatton & Fights of that Nature...REED has ALWAYS Looooooooved 1-Sided Beatdowns....

Those R 10 that Immediately Popped Up in REED's Dome...


REED:hammert:

 

I don't think Floyd did THAT bad.. he actually made some sense in some of his arguments. I think the fact that the radio MC had the volume jacked way higher and came through clearly made his arguments actually SOUND alot stronger.. the fact is Floyd made alot of sense in the way that he caught RA flipping his arguments around (well they both did to some degree). The fact is Floyd until very recently HAS fought ALMOST everyone that he was expected to fight...

 

Superb.

I'm amazed Floyd didn't hang up early, when he was basically being brutally laid into, verbally.

He ended up just talking shit, speaking nonsense, repeating the same nonsensical statements.

 

So after Floyd beats Shane you can say that Floyd just beat a fighter who has never beaten anybody good.

If Pac beats Cotto Floyd has to fight him, he is the best fighter at 147.

You are right about P-Will being the most avoided 147lber, Shane with no opponent in sight turned him down to sit out, Manny isn't going to fight him and Miguel didn't fight him after he whupped Margarito in 07.

 

Floyd def could use a mouth piece in situations like the interview he had with RA. A good talker could have easily spun alot of RA's arguments around.

RA wass on B-hops dick, yet complaining about Floyd fighting JMM for being too small. B-Hop has been fighting 160lbers ever since he moved to 175 and wanted no piece of Roy Jones until he is wayyy past his prime.

 

No they couldn't. Floyd is ducking anyone who has even an outside chance of beating him and he has admitted as much. Floyd got owned, but he also got owned because he is a ducker.

 

Floyd won't get credit for beating anybody. You said that he should fight Shane but then say that Shane is an easy fight and has lost to every good fighter hes fought. So if he fights Shane he will be ducking somebody else.
