Am I the only one who wants Floyd to win?

Mayweather won the title from the champ (Baldomir) and when he moved up Judah was in the top 1 or 2. He then CHALLENGED himself against De la hoya at the higher weight...and then retired. Big deal.

 

I recall you saying the exact same thing on the prospect of a De la Hoya mayweather fight at 154lbs.

 

Mayweather said it to Hatton's face: "You're fans love you. You're just too small." Go to the videotape.

It's been said over and over. Hatton had no business at 147, regardless of what he weighs when he is not competing.

At 140, it would be a little harder and probably no KO but Floyd just too sharp of a shooter not to beat Hatton at any weight, but at 147? Just another advantage for Floyd before they lace up.

 

hahaha...I have to laugh at the Floyd hatred here.

We have the privilege of witnessing an all time great in his prime..and we choose to hate on him.

Like Larry Holmes and a few others....he'll get the love after he's retired.

 

Get the F*ck outta here. Nobody's gonna give 2 sh*ts about Fraudweather's boring overrated money-grabbing ass! Not even his old man!
When he retired for 2 years, nobody on this board even made a single Floyd thread. When he's done, people will be tearing up his resume, not giving him accolades. All time great, my ass! Never had an epic battle, never had a rivalry, handpicked his competition, fought the best fighters at the ends of their careers. Majority of fights ending in decisions. Most fights boring as f*ck and not worth replay.
Yeah...what a legend!:atu:

 

This post tells me that you're only fit to critique bollywood films.

 

The same argument can be made for the PBF/DLH fight but that's something that the haters never bring up. I mean atleast Hatton had a fight @147 PBF had never even competed above 147. But like I said Hatton was the heavier man on fight night and therefore in my eyes had the physical advantage like he's always had against his opponents. Also what video are you referring to. Could you post it where PBF called Hatton too small. I've never seen it before. I'll Holla 5000

 

LOL at Floyd-Pavlik! LOL!!

FLoyd is not fighting no middleweight or above!!!


where I think Floyd could have turned it all around is if he annouced during lead up to possible pac fight..

"Forget the tests... i'll fight him anyway"

see.. Floyd beats Pac weather pac is on drugs or not.. so he should have juust fought him!

 

if Floyd doesn't change his ways, can you imagine Floyd at a megafight 30 yrs from now? Appears in a big screen at the arena, and the crowd is non-responsive or worse boos his ass...

 

I agree FLoyd will be recognized after he is done..

he is just a master in there

that said.. i hope somehow.. someway.. Shane smashes his ass

 

Are you fucking kidding me. You are more obsessed wit PBF it aint even funny. And why would people make threads about retired fighters unless it's a mythical matchup. Come on dawg you really need to come up wit some new shit. First you say no one cares about PBF when his ppv #'s say otherwise. Then you claim the sport of boxing is dying when in fact there are and have been spme excellent big time fights going on this yr. And there are some big time fights happening in the near future. As a matter of fact besides the PBF/Manny debacle this has bbeen a great 4-5 months of boxing. Then you claim this site is dying but yet it's not. LikeI said come up wit some new shit dawg! I'll Holla 5000

 

Look at the interviews inside the ring right after the fight.

Just imagine, I'm 6 feet tall, you're 5'5" with a 6 inch reach disdavantage. You're going to have to get inside on me or else I'm going to pummel you into submission from the outside, unless I fight small. I'm faster, sharper. You're just heavier.

 

I don't watch crappy ass Bollywood films. They make me sick! Just like Fraudweather's fights.

 

But regardless of what Fraud's fans think, Fraud himself isn't confident that he can beat Pacman.
Fraud's fans say "Even with drugs, Pac can't beat Fraud!"
So if Fraud is so good and so confident, why doesn't his bitch ass fight Pacman anyway and expose him?
He won't fight him because he's thinking: "Sh*t, this guy is like a freight train who keeps coming forward and I got girly brittle bitch hands and I might not be able to keep him off me for 12 rounds!"
:atu:

 

Exactly!

 

He won't be remembered 30 years from now. Hell I don't even know if boxing will even exist 30 years from now.::

 

Come on dawg. Check out how many Tyson threads and Ali threads we've had. Dozens! And these guys been retired for ages. When did we ever get any Fraud threads during his 2 years of exile?
None! Nobody cared! People care about exciting fighters or fighters who had legendary fights.
I mean come on, even Ike Ibeabuchi got a lot of mention. But nobody mentions Fraudweather cause he's boring safety-first punk who's afraid to fight real fighters at their best.
How many fighters can you name who fight in championship fights and have half the arena heading for the exits mid-way?
Other than maybe Lennox who like Fraudweather enjoyed boring people to death with his safety-first cautious style. But even Lennox had his share of bloody battles (Mercer, V Klit, etc).
Fraudweather has nothing!

 

who knows?

i'm just sayin i think he'd whup Pac::

 

I love Floyd as a fighter, the guy is a genius. If he wasn't such a colossal tit outside of the squared circle he would probably be one of my favourite fighters. I do agree however that it's his attitude away from the ring which makes for interesting build ups, as in people want to see him lose, there always has to be a villain. I don't mind that, but it's when the guy doesn't take the fights people want to see and makes silly accusations, it will really rub people the wrong way.

 

He might find a way to win a boring ass decision like the Bumdomir fight or the De La Hoya fight. But that sh*t don't make legends.
And even still, he has to step in there and actually do his business. And he ain't confident he can beat Pacman. Even if Fraud's fans think he can. But Fraud's fans aren't the ones stepping into the ring.

 

Well fights are based on weight and not on height and reach. I'm pretty sure Mike Tyson overcame those disadvantages. I'm pretty sure Martinez was able to overcome his disadvantages against Pavlik. And didn't Quitana overcome his disadvantage to give Tall Paul his first "L". So please kill me wit that noise. Like I said fights are based on weight and if you can outweigh ur opponent and then out muscle them like Hatton used to do @ 140. He was able to accomplish that due to him melting down to 140 and then having a nice weight advantage against his opponents just he attempted against PBF. It just didn't work that night.

By the way where is that video? Not like I don't trust you but I would rather hear and see it with my own eyes. So if you don't mind please post that interview. I'll Holla 5000

 

He ain't no genius. Most of his marketing is through his hyped up record. Once he's gotten his ass exposed, those mega million paydays will cease and fans will have lost interest in seeing this fruit get his ass kicked.

 

You're talking sh*t, dawg. Hatton can't fight at 147. We saw that against Collazo. He had no power and no strength and he's got f*cking 65" wingspan. He almost got KTFO by Collazo at 147. He had no business up there.

 

Once again negative nancy stikes again regarding boxing. If you are so down on boxing then why post on a boxing website. And if you hate PBF so much and you can't stand his style then why post about him, talk about him as much as you do, or watch his fights? I don't get it. ilike I said it appears that you are obsessed wit him. That shit aint healthy bro. I'll Holla f@@@

 

As most people will say, up to 135 his opposition could not be questioned, I also give credit for taking the DLH fight at 154 (whether you believe he won or not). And yes, he is an incredibly skilled operator, only someone who is completely unobjective would say the guy does not have a fantastic boxing brain.

 

I don't give a fuck about the collazo fight. PBF and Collazo fight nothing alike. The fact of the matter is that Hatton was still the bigger man in the ring that night like he is or was when he fought at 140. He just wasn't able or skilled enough to apply his advantage. I'll Holla 5000

 

hatton beat collazo, and did just as well against him as berto did

 

This kind of observations are not allowed on this thread my friend.

It's been decided by the objective critics of this forum that Floyd needs to beat 6'3 Pavlik at 160 to get some credit. Anything other than fighting Middleweights 6-7 inch taller and with 30 lbs of weight advantage come fight time will be considered as cherry picking and not worthy of respect.

 

I don't know dawg. I mean, most of the planet hated W Bush and had to vent. I guess the real problem I got with Fraud isn't just his attitude, it's the fact that he actually thinks he belongs on par with the likes of past-greats who all went and took risks and fought legendary battles.
I'm just making sure the next generation of fans coming to this board are taught early on about the truth before they get caught up in the hype.

 

Yeah, for 20 f*cking million, my grandma would've taken that fight too.
