That would be the Pac-man of course. He went down on one punch...he was winning the fight until then and just got caught and everybody thinks his career is over, lol no way. One comeback fight and I guarantee he will be #1 choice for Mayweather.
I dont think anyone can beat Mayweather to be honest.
If boxing has a commissioner such as MLB or the NFL overlooking the entire sport it would have happened, but boxing is full of corrupt promoters and full of bad politics.
He really made a fool out of himself. Thats what you get when you promote yourself without ever even facing tough competition and beating up on garbage.
thurman looked good, but i agree...not ready for floyd. a few years ago there were several fighters that could have given floyd a good test, but he chose to duck them. i admit floyd has talent, but you are only as good as your opposition...that is what made ali a legend, he fought a much higher class of boxers than floyd has, or probably will....floyd being the face of boxing has hurt boxing, imo....look at broner, a floyd wannabe!!!
I agree Roy had a bit more power in his shots and could take a punch better
lol...how about tommy hearns!!! there doesn't seem to be many hearns, sugar rays, haglers, or durans around these days...and what happened to all those great mexican boxers of a few years ago? i think mayweather just happens to be on top at the right time, the competition these days seems much depleted from years gone by....
it would of been fun to see floyd against james toney....floyd would have looked like a marathon runner!!!
Ill tell you what happened to the great Mexican fighters Oscar DLJ became the brown Don King and has muddled the sport yet again. And with the rising popularity of MMA and the UFC some potentially great boxers are being drawn into a different arena.
I refuse to pay to watch a "pay per view " match when the new guys on Showtime constantly put together more exciting fights. It seems like the guys fighting those big time fights are just their to get paid much like a baseball player who signs a huge contract. Pujols for example exiting till he got paid.
sorry i thought the sarcasm would have shown thru...a james toney/floyd mayweather fight would in reality never happen...i was just poking fun at how sorry as$ed ppv is....
LOL i guess I missed it. I think Pay Per View started to go down hill When lennox lewis beat tyson and Holyfield. the styles shifted in the heavyweight division from strong powerful guys who were light on their feet to Ogres who sit with their jabbing hand out, trying to set up their one solid power punch which is 99% of the time a straight right. These heavyweights today dont dodge and wieve. If they do get in a spot where they may get hurt they wrap up and lein on their opponent in an attempt to wear them down. Lewis started this trend and the Klitchko brothers have continued it, their style of fighting is uninspiring to say the least
say what you will of tyson...the guy was fun to watch.
I remember watching Tyson Holyfield 1 with my dad That was a heavyweight fight!
yup...i can see where many are going to mma, todays boxing is all about padding records with mismatches and avoiding tough matchups. i think this will be floyd mayweathers legacy. this is a shame, because i really enjoy the 'science' of boxing over the all out brawls of mma.
those are a good thing to minus out in a fight lol. The science of boxing is amazing I whish they would go back to the mid 1800's when fights would go until some one got knocked out!
i liked that movie with clint eastwood...the one that he went around with an orangutan named clyde looking for fights...they kept to the queensbury rules better than they do in actual boxing matches, lol....every which way but loose, had to look it up.
might spur some interesting matchups, if chris arreola gets serious and trains hard i think he might be a contender.
Maybe...but everyone copies someone else in the past.
when roy was a middle weight he was practically impossible to hit. moving up in weight he came up against guys who were naturally heavier than him so he got cornered more often...trust me if floyd were to try to move up to heavy weight he would take a beating and be a sitting duck at that heavier weight. go back and look at some old roy middleweight fights, hell even super middleweight fights and tell me floyds defense is better...
I remember he put his hands behind his back against the rope, dodge a left then right and then he swung his arm out and knocked the guy out, he was such an amazing talent.
I would say that was the defining moment where all these Zab Juda & Paul Malignaggi types were like damn I want to do that and be cool just like him. The only problem is they dont have to power to knock out their competition.
You think they care about Roy Jones fighting these days? Even less than the prospect of having them covering the Klitchkos.
Lol...yeah Im sure you know that the same vacant belt is being put up for grabs both on Wednesday and Saturday.
Im not a MMA fan, but respect it. What you just posted there I do not respect.
Thats what I was thinking....its extra incentive to put her out (wait, that didnt sound right, lol.)
Exactly, and Jr. Is making a joke of himself trying by making acknowledging his victory as a historical occasion. To top it off its not like he beat anybody of significant or anyone anyone has ever heard of.
