Yup.... Brook vs. Khan....who knows...Brook look average...he has an aura of a fast black fighter....but what I saw is a slow negro..who defensively isn't very good...him vs. Khan..PICK 'em...just cause Garcia is another average looking fighter with moderate Ko's and he put Khan on rainmaker street.
Yeah, like I said before(tm) "fighting backwards" isn't a good way to describe it You know what's an even EASIER fight to pick than Floyd-Khan? Pac-Khan!
True....Cory Spinks....Peterson brothers.....Brook....Devon Alexander......slow bros...Hell the half n half Thurman is faster that those 100 percents..
Malignaggi agrees with me and REED: "Amir's ability to fight at range makes him difficult to deal with. Styles make fights, you know, and Amir is a kind of guy who knows how to win rounds. Floyd is a kind of guy who knows how to win rounds. They're both round-winning kind of fighters; they're not search-and-destroy kind of fighters, you know, so that kind of style, head to head, is going to be two guys trying to win rounds," stated two-division world champion Paulie Malignaggi, who shared his thoughts on a potential clash between undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather and former jr. welterweight champion Amir Khan. According to Malignaggi, Khan presents the type of style and physical attributes that could potentially mean problems for Mayweather if the went to the scorecards. "I just feel like at this point, Floyd maybe not having the legs he used to have and Amir having that range he has and the speed that he has and the ability to maintain that outside distance, and of course he holds really good on the inside as well, you know, I feel like it's very difficult to win rounds against Amir," Malignaggi explained during a recent conversation with FightHype.com. "And I feel like Floyd would be at a disadvantage trying to win those rounds against Amir. Amir pushes the pace, he's got a weird, funky rhythm, he's long, he's lanky, he changes range really fast, and if you don't have your legs 100% under you, it's difficult to keep up. Stylistically, I think it's a very tough fight." http://www.fighthype.com/news/article18109.html
It's NOT Even that Difficult to Fathom, Really.... But Dudes Get Soooooooooooo Caught Up in their BIASES, they Can't Assess the Matchup on its STYLISTIC Merits, Exclusively...Amir Khan is an INTERESTING Opponent for TODAY's Version of Floyd Mayweather...PERIOD...You Shouldn't have to LIKE a Fighter or Have an Appreciation for THE WAY he Fights, to Recognize Instances Where he COULD Be a Compelling Contrast to a Particular Opponent... Team Mayweather Definitely Recognized It, Which is Why they Put Luis Collazo in Khan's Path, Thinking he'd Upset the Applecart on the Floyd-Maidana I Undercard...Let's Not Forget, Khan was SUPPOSED to Face Floyd that Night, but 1nce Maidana Upset Floyd Jr. Jr., they Perceived Maidana as an EASIER Foe, Stylistically... REED:hammert:
Maidana is an easier style in the sense that non - puncher ' s glove and a complicit ref were all they needed to secure the victory. Bayless' s performance, by the way, was not unlike Nady ' s in the Ruiz/RJJ fight. Wait? You mean if Ruiz is never allowed to get close or fight inside, he can't beat RJJ in a fencing match? And that's supposed to be fucking impressive? What I'll never get is how guys like that take it lying down. You'd think there would've been resounding protest all night from the corners of maidana and ruiz. Maybe there was and the complicit press and networks covered it up. Shamelessd
http://fighthype.com/mayweathernews/story18115.html http://fighthype.com/mayweathernews/story18118.html Floyd is cracking... He's running out of excuses to not fight Pacquiao. I have to admit, I've never seen such a supremely gifted fighter so AFRAID to face another guy that he goes high and low and everywhere in between to come up with alibis to not face this guy. Floyd is SHOOK. I think it's clear now, if it wasn't before... Money May wants absolutely NO PARTS of Pacman... :say::say::say:
Basically the Same Ol' Brand of BULLSHIT Floyd's Been Spewing for Years Now...CLEARLY, he's THE Reason Floyd-Pac Has Never & Probably WILL NEVER Happen...EVERY Ounce of Blame Should Be Hoisted Upon Mayweather... Ultimately, Floyd Makes Himself Look like a SCARED, CONFUSED Child, when it Comes to Pacquiao, w/Out Realizing It...He Beats his Chest Saying "I Was 100% Right All Along" or "Ever Since Ariza Left Pacquiao, he Hasn't Had a Knockout", Basically MINIMIZING the Threat of Pacquiao, Yet Motherfucker Still WON'T Fight Him!!!... He's Using Finances, Bank Accounts, Live Gates, PPV Sales, Location & a Myriad Other Excuses NOBODY Cares about, to Nix the Mere Thought...Hell, Mayweather Sr.'s Status on Team Mayweather is Shaky BECAUSE he Mentioned the Name "Pacquiao", Recently... Until the Media DEMANDS It, Floyd Ain't Going Anywhere Near Pacquiao...Where's "RA - The Rugged Man", When you NEED Him???...Literally, Floyd Mayweather is BULLSHITTING the Boxing Public & Mainstream Boxing Fans are OBLIVIOUS...Fortunately, the Hardcore Sect, Some of Whom are Writers, KNOW Better... Even Now, Floyd Still CAN'T Run from Pacquiao Talk...Name Another Fighter that's Repeatedly Ducked a Reasonable, Willing Opponent (& Event) of THAT Magnitude, While Basically Holding ALL of the Cards???...Yep, REED Can't Either...The Only Way Floyd Can DETACH Himself from Pac, is to Eventually FACE Him... Motherfucker is Even Frowning Upon Khan AGAIN... REED:shit #2:
Cash, money, finances....changes everything. You and I won't drag our asses out of bed in the morning if our numbers come up tonight. Floyd is no different, he just talks too much.
Im not sure. The tone of his comments suggest to me that for whatever reason, he is ADAMANT that he will not get in the ring with Pac and he wants to be left alone about it. The mere mention of the name Pacquiao, and Floyd is damn near in panic attack mode... I've never seen anything like this. Im convinced that even if Floyd was offered 100 million, he'd STILL have one of his guys come up with an excuse to avoid getting in the ring with this guy. He'd probably go as far as saying that Pacquiao would need to be tested in between rounds for steroids or he won't fight him. He might even say Pacquiao would have to renounce his citizenship of the Phillipines and become an American citizen too. He don't want it with Pacman.
Floyd is not physically afraid of the guy. Merely he is disgusted he should be forced to work on Pac's account. Work and training and risk don't bother Floyd as such. It's WHY he is being "forced" to do these things, as he sees it, that is so offensive. DON'T THEY KNOW WHO HE IS.........
I've always thought it was something along those lines too. Floyd's scared of losing his sense of importance, not getting beat up. Its gonna be interesting how he deals with age taking it away from him over the next few years.
I think Floyd is so accustomed to calling all the shots, he's intimidated by the idea of sharing the stage with someone as famous and as influential as he is.
THIS... No, Floyd Ain't Scared of Pacquiao in the "Boogey Man" Sense, but he's Obviously THREATENED & UNNERVED by Him...He Doesn't PERSONALLY Fear Pacquiao, but PROFESSIONALLY he Clearly Does...Floyds KNOWS Manny's Capable of BEATING Him, Even Today... The 1 Thing Floyd Hang's his Hat On Is that "0"...w/Out it, he KNOWS his Current Earning Potential & Mass Appeal FALLS by the Wayside...Floyd Recognizes Pac's a THREAT to That & has NEGLECTED him, Accordingly... REED:shit #2:
Come on....I can see/understand that Arum doesn't want his cash cow to get beat by Floyd...so he has reservations about getting the fight made...but for YEARS it's been FLOYD doing whatever to NOT fight Pacquiao.... "I won't do business with Arum" "Leave your promoter" "Leave top rank and join TMT promotions" "Olympic style testing...random testing" Do FLOYD even do these anymore?? Since Pacquiao went nite nite vs.Marquez...I haven't heard Floyd talking about drug testing on 24/7 and SHowtime version of it.... "No PPV split"......Floyd doesn't want to share the money from PPV.....ridiculous...thats pretty much saying I DON'T want to fight YOU...
For a while I thought about that, but I see that it's nonsense now. Twice in 2010, this fight could have happened and it didn't happen because Floyd searched for all kinds of excuses to feed the media. Now he's even threatening to FIRE people from his team because they mention the name PACQUIAO...(I have never seen anything like this before). Pacquiao's probably thinking retirement within the next year or so. Arum knows that and I'm sure he'd like to get a big pay day out of it, even if Pacquiao were to lose. The only obstacle in this fight is Floyd Mayweather. Anytime the name Pacquiao is brought up, he goes into nonsense about how "Pacquiao ain't his own boss," "I won't do business with Bob Arum," "Pacquiao has to leave Bob Arum," "Pacquiao can't get any cut of the ppv revenue," "Pacquiao's got Marquez and Bradley problems" (Nevermind that Maidana had Khan and Alexander problems)... He had the nerve to say Pacquiao didn't deserve a shot at him, yet fighters like Ortiz, Maidana, and Guerrero are deemed "tough" or "deserving." I'm telling you bro, it's BS... It's all excuses to duck and dodge the biggest threat to his 0, while in the process make Pacquiao appear like he doesn't want the fight. And now that he's running out of excuses and with a potential rift in the Money Team (Probably Pacquiao related), people are either being "removed" or "demoted" or whatever... That is suspicious as fuck to me. I will say this... I am curious as to what happens if Showtime DEMANDS the Pacquiao fight from Mayweather... Will Floyd retire again??? I would not be surprised, honestly.
