Actually it's the irony of it all that's funny. In retrospect, Roy's "business model" (the latter part of his career anyway) doesn't seem all...
This is something I recently had lengthy debate with a fellow fan over. Quartey had a ramrod jab. DLH was already over-the-hill when he fought...
This, in a nutshell, is Floyd's "Business Model." It's genius.
You have Tyson who lost just about everything he got from boxing. You have Roy who sadly keeps on fighting (and losing) against scrubbage for...
Manny's win over MAB was extraordinary. Marco was top 5 at best on most pound-for-pound lists at the time and Pac destroyed him. And he did so...
Pacquiao accomplished a bit more as a whole I think. But there's no doubt Floyd is the better fighter.
This was a shit, essentially meaningless fight that did nothing for the legacy of either one. Also, no sporting event has ever fleeced everyone...
Mayweather UD in an 8-4 type of fight.
Instead of expressing indignation and given his new-found religion, Pac probably and stupidly thought of saying that "I respect the decision"...
I doubt it he was in on it. Manny is just dumb and agreeable. Especially with that religion schtick he's now into.
Unlike that bitch Ortiz, gotta give Brad props for the effort. Dude was outmatched but never stopped trying.
Quartey was exceptional. He wasn't a great mover, but he was a bull strong welter with a ramrod jab and a powerful right. I don't see Floyd easily...
Nah. Not really. If Vernon Forrest nailed Floyd with those right crosses and that vicious uppercut he nearly decapitated Shane with in their...
Quartey would give Taylor the Crisanto Espana treatment here.
I got to rewatch this fight lately. MAB matches up well with JMM. Both are pretty good combo punchers and counterpunchers. But the difference...
While both have a claim to blame, I blame Floyd significantly more. Floyd is the one who conjured up the original roadblock to this fight years...
A 50/50 split is fair. And if that's basically all Manny Pac wants for the fight to push through, I think it's believable.
Both of these guys are to blame. However, I don't really think Pacquiao is smart enough for mind games. As far as scheming is concerned, he's...
Hagler would give Pacquiao a beating, btw.
The criticisms of Pacquiao's opponents beyond 135 imo are understable. But I like how moreso than, say, Floyd Mayweather Jr., he's far exceeded...
That Ortiz, a pussified, weak-willed scrub, would beat Cotto or Margarito is absurd. Cotto would dissect him. And Marg, even without the wraps,...
Mayweather is better than Pacquiao. Manny though, accomplished more.
Based on both recent form and probable form by the time they do fight (if ever), i'd pick Floyd to beat Manny by decision btw.
Even if we may not agree with everything said, specifics and point observations are always good. Also makes for better reading compared to...
I initially scored it a point for Pacquiao. But it's a close call. I've absolutely no problem had JMM gotten the nod. Maybe the best thing is if...
Got to rewatch Trinidad vs Reid recently. That fight was actually winnable for Reid, if he only had brains. Physically, he was up to it....
Frankly, I don't even see the point of going back 30 years to 1981 to put perspective on today's crop. 10 years ago is already sufficient. Early...
Since this is fantasy, I wish there was a "courage pill" certain fighters could and should be made to injest.
Yeah, liked that fight too. Made Haugen look like a bum.
