Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE

Stephen A spoke the truth, but you're disregarding his opinion and the truth because of where it came from, despite saying in your very next post not even 20 minutes later that you listen to the truth despite the source. If you can't see the problem here, then you're even more of a lost cause than everybody around here already thought you were.

I guess you don't like me talking bad about your husband. lol

Make sure you duck next time when Floyd raises his hands, sweetie.

As far as in-the-ring; I grew up a Mike Tyson fan, and he gave the people what they wanted. Not saying his style is the right one, but you definitely received your money's worth.

Yet people complained that the fights were too short.

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE

Boxing is the sweet science, not bar room brawls in a ring.

All B obviously is entitled to his opinion, but I disagree with it. He gives credit to guys who show heart by taking punishment and continuing to fight, I give credit to Floyd for giving out punishment while not taking any. Yeah his style may be boring to most and I understand why, but he still has mastered the science of boxing.

As a general observation not directed to anyone in particular, I've noticed that many people cannot separate their opinion on Floyd as a person from Floyd's skill in the ring. He may be a despicable human being, but he is a master in the ring.

On the subject of Floyd's style, boring as it may be to some, it is who he is. What I mean is that he cannot just decide to be a knockout artist and go toe to toe with guys. He would lose. He has never had incredible punching power. His style perfectly suits him. It is not too different from a football coach who has to develop a gameplan with the players he has.

For me personally I am a boring person. I like boring things. When I watch Mayweather's fights I don't do so to watch a action packed slugfest; I watch it to see if his opponent that night will be able to crack the Mayweather code so to speak. Some people watch boxing to see two guys beat the hell out of each other (and there is nothing wrong with that), I watch boxing to see the tactics and strategy employed by the fighters. Neither is better or a "pure" boxing fan; it is not like the Madden debate of sim vs casual.

Having said that, yeah it would be better and more enjoyable if Floyd threw counter combinations instead of a single straight right and back away as often as he does, but that does not take away from his skill in the ring.

But you said you give credit where credit is due......REGARDLESS of who says it.

Yes, with the obvious exception of someone who is BLINDLY in someone's camp or on someone's payroll. I guess beating women senseless should go unnoticed.

Didn't think I'd have to explain that, but I guess that's what happens when dealing with Mayweather "fans". Should've known better.

Yet you are a Tyson fan who had his share of domestic violence issues.

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE

that's a good thing......opinions should be respected and folks should be able to disagree without being disagreeable. i was being a tad sarcastic. i think it needs to be understood that not everyone who chimes in here is a hardcore fan, and sometimes should be taken with a grain of salt

Yes and please don't take any of my comments to be directed at anyone for not being a hard core fan. I'm nowhere close to a hard core fan of boxing. Really don't care for the sport.

I'm only saying that I think casual fans expect one thing and think the sport is dead because it's not to their liking. It feels to me that the sort of thinking is biased.

Yet the same can be said of anyone attacking casuals when they are the ones bringing in the money. Truth is, this fight doesn't happen without casual fans existing. They spend the money.

Is what Stephen A. said wrong because it is wrong or was it wrong because Stephen is in Mayweather's "camp?"

AFTER, I found out, I was done with him.

I was a teenager in the late 80's when there was no internet or Twitter. All I knew about him, was what he did in the ring. After the rape, I said, "to hell with that guy".

You can do better than this now. Bout as weak as Manny's game plan Saturday

He's clearly in their 'camp'. So even if he does speak the truth, which he usually does, it's hard for me in this instance to take him serious. That's his boy.

Drew Magary isn't in Pac's 'camp'. If he was, I wouldn't have even posted that article.

I guess..

I just think its weird to bashed floyd for hitting woman (which is irrelevant to his fights) but then in the same breath praise Tyson.

Its not you but this has been the most common trend I've been seeing on social media and unfortunately "Sport News" sites.

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE

I don't know how anyone would be surprised at the outcome of the boxing match. Floyd ducks a shot fighter at least 5 years out of his prime and outpoints him easily.

Floyd is a very good boxer but you cannot compare him to any of the greats. Maybe Top 10 and that's being generous.

Ali ran but hit. Same with Leonard and a few others. This guy's an Olympic boxer.

Re: Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao DEAL DONE

What this fight shows yet again, is the power that Floyd really does have. While he doesn't reall possess knockout power, aggressive guys like Manny completely change up their approach because Floyd starts tagging them and it's like "oh ****, he hits harder than I thought he did. I gotta rethink this."
