Let's call it: Floyd upped Manny big time.

Also, Top Rank surely did not want Corrales to win that fight - he was going to prison win or lose. So if PBF wanted the fight at 130, TR would've surely been on board to have it there.

 

No, correct. He fought at 136 after being released from prison.

 

So let me get this straight, you would advise a fighter to drop as much weight as quickly as possible, fairly close to the fight right? ::

Kenneth I've boxed, it's much better, and much easier to get to fighting weight as far ahead as you can.

I think that's probably the main reason why Floyd doesn't put it much weight between fights, so he is never weight drained.

And like Tam and Double said, IV's are a method of re-hydrating, if anything it should mean Oascar re-hydrated pretty well.

 

No, what are you slow? You lose the weight slowly over the time. Oscar was at weight weeks before the fight which is just dumb. Because now you have to keep your weight low for the fight which, in turn, inhibits eating and other activities until that night. It's not rocket science. Floyd doesn't have to drop much weight but Oscar did.

 

:atu:

 

Whitaker, Pep and Mayweather

What did I say wrong?

 

You're clearly the slow one, insinuating you should drop weight close to the fight ::

But yes, you should lose weight gradually, which Oscar did, and used IV's to rehydrate.

 

As much as I detest Floyd, I think it's fair to say he's amongst the hardest to hit fighters in history.

 

Exactly.

Muzse is a blind floyd hater/Mosley fanatic. When talking about the above two his posts are often devoid of logic and poisoned with bias.

Apart from that though...he's probably the best poster on the site.

 

::

 

he fought a bum at 138lbs actually. and he came down to 130 lbs to face casamayor THREE years after he fought mayweather jr.

 

He weighed 136, his opponent weighed 138.

And I'm aware he dropped back down to 130 after that. Maybe he got used to the frugal prison diet, or maybe he found a way to speed up his metabolism and lose weight easier (PEDs maybe?).

 

ok

regardless, him fighting again at super featherweight 3 years later destroyed any credibility in his excuse that he couldnt make the weight when he fought mayweather jr.

 

The thing is, it wasn't just an excuse he made up AFTER he fought Floyd.

If that was the case, I would agree with you, it would obviously just be an excuse.

But he said he was weight drained before there were even talks of fighting Floyd, and said he was moving to 135.

Moving back down to 130 is odd I agree, but for whatever reason, maybe he did find a way to cut weight better.

He did look drained against Floyd, but in all honesty, it wouldn't have mattered much. The result would have been the same at 135.

Just like if Oscar had weighed in at 154, the result would have been the same for Manny.

 

not sure how those two scenarios are at all analogous ?

delahoya had not made 147lbs in several years. (7? 8?)

corrales had fought just a few months prior at 130lbs and then made the weight THREE YEARS later ::

 

He didn't drop weight gradually. He had already dropped the weight even as terms were still being agreed upon for a fight - well ahead of schedule. Too far ahead of schedule according to Roach and Richardson. And then remained at that weight for weeks.

 

How so? Has he even fought the best fighters in history? You have to fight the best in order to be the best and this motherf*cker hasn't fought the best. He's handpicked his way for the most part against smaller men coming up outside of their best weight or against shot inactive part-time promoters.
Floyd's resume is f*cking dog sh*t! He ducked Margarito, ducked Wright, ducked Pacquaio, and avoided all the top fighters in the world during their primes. He still has not even beaten a legit welterweight, let alone an elite welterweight. He hasn't done sh*t to warrant any kind of P4P status.
All he's done is get his ass whooped by a part time promoter and run for his life against Baldomir in the biggest farce of a fight ever and go the distance with tiny Marquez who came up 2 weight classes to face him.::
What a f*cking legend!!!! Guys like Oscar, Trinidad, etc would eat this pansy bitch motherf*cker for lunch in their primes. If those guys were still in their primes, this pussy would not even be discussed on this board. When all the stars retired or got old, people started jumping on this clown's bandwagon because everybody needs a hero in an otherwise dead sport. LOL!

 

Come on bro how in the world are you comparing the DLH that fought PBF at 154 compared to the DLH that fought Manny at 147. Clearly you don't even believe this statement. I'll Holla 5000

 

Oscar in his prime would've crunched your hero PBF. I can't believe Floyd couldn't even leave a mark on a shot Oscar and had to win by a split decision. And yet this clown is supposed to be one of the all time greats according to slystaff? :atu:GTFOH!!!

 

youre running out of guys to defeat mayweather jr. so you may as well just go with couldve wouldve's

 

Duran lost to Kirkland Laing. He's still considered an all time great.

[The fat hairy no-boxing-knowledge-having sikh will have no comeback to this one]

 

Heres what kills me about the PBF haters. They claim that Hatton had no business fighting at 147 yet they don't say the exact same shit when PBF fought DLH @154 a weiht class he's never ever competed at. Then they claim that DLH was retired fat and old. I bet Mayorga wouldn't agree with that statement. PBF beat DLH at a weight class he had no business fighting at a weight class that DLH was competing at for how long. Not to mention PBF was severely the smaller man. DLH probably outweighed PBF by atleast 10-15lbs and he was still able to move up and get a victory. It kills me wit all the hypocrisy! I'll Holla 5000

 

Duran fought like a warrior. Your pussy hero has no balls. Don't ever compare fruity Floyd to Duran, gaystaff.

 

You're trying way too hard to get the heat off Floyd here, dawg.::
DLH was the money-man in boxing and long past his prime. Floyd took no risk! He took the money is all. The fight was as relevant as DLH/Pacman.

 

You gotta fight the best in the world and dominate in your weight class to be an all time great. Faggoty Floyd has done nothing to warrant greatness. Handpicking little guys and fighting shot fighters defensively in boring 12 round decisions isn't the mark of a great.

 

When did Floyd sign the contract? Mosley was doing interviews on 1/29 and his was signed. What is the hold up?

 

They wanna do some promotional sh*t for the fight at SuperBowl on Sunday. Cuntweather needs to sign this and get it going so they can start promoting.

 

It ain't a done deal until they both sign, Mayweather better fucking sign.

 

Why should he sign?

 

This is fun! :: Cuntweather is at his crib trying to think of a new stipulation to sabotage this fight as we speak.
