false proverbial wisdom....how can you hate a cuz he got swag when that's all this country is about...Floyd puts on a show he's not 100% what you see on TV...he doesn't have the NBA or NFL promoting him so he promotes himself...and he's brilliant...he knows that hatred sells...the more you hate him and want to see him lose by getting knocked out the more you will pay to watch...

you may not be enamored with it and it may not be a typical Wall street strategy of investing but it works for Floyd to the tune of hundreds of millions

[pass1st]

Brawlers can't beat Mayweather, tbh. Need another boxer like Zab Judah, but smarter.

mayweather doesn't seem smart enough for it to be an act

mayweather doesn't seem smart enough for it to be an act

ohh yeah....that's what the white man would have you think...you haven't been exposed to much Tyse...

FACT: Mayweather promotes and pays himself just like he did last night... talk about not being smart enough...Tyson one day you will grow up to the realities of the real world...and not the perceptions and stereotypes that white America has peddled for years..

I digress when I say...and I know it sounds racist but it's not..it's 100% rooted in fact and I wish I didn't have to say what I'm about to say...but part of the reason we were attacked on 911 is because the white man has spent the past 100 yrs demonizing blacks while in they were in bed with the Arabs behind their oil...They demonized and tried to make everyone afraid of the black man and it was the Arabs that turned around and bite the squarely in their ass on 911...they fell in love with the wrong man

Haha dude you try to talk like your a professor of history. Then the next minute your telling us how street n*gga you are....then you tell us you traveled the world with your daddy and eat at 5 star restaurants.

You kept saying we're brainwashed and don't even know it. Then you proceed to spit the same lines over and over from the opposite prospective. So if we're brainwashed then so are you.

[MaNu4Tres]

Just waking up from a wild fight party. You and sean cagney look like some broke mofos right now with that lame excuse for not watching the fight.

We used to order tysons ppv knowing damn well the fight wasnt going past the 1st. Stop justifying being broke by clowning the state of boxing. Fighters like floyd are rare so might as well appreciate him while he's still able to kick ass.

Who said I didn't watch the fight?

All I said was boxing is fixed, which it is. If you can't see how or why I believe that, then you're just ignorant and stupid, tbh.

And Fwiw, I did buy the fight for friends who came over last night.

Keep it trill.

They thought he wasn't smart enough to ditch Bob Arums Jew ass.

Floyd not fighting Pacman now is really a battle of wills between he and Arum....Manny isn't even close to Floyd's money making abilities

I never claimed to be a street thug but I will straight stomp you out...being a has nothing to be with being from the streets and yes I'm well versed and traveled...now what are you

[UZER]

Personally I was really impressed with Mayweather last night. He showed me something I hadn't seen before and that's responding after getting hit with a steady flow of shots. Not just a shot here or there.

I'm one of mayweather's biggest haters, but dude came to fight last night. I respect his game. You don't get to 43-0 by accident.

And there is some truth to what he is saying about Arum being in the way.

Oh ok. You will also beg to keep from being pinked on this board. Real stomping out homie.

If they knew how to seal the deal they could

It's not about knowing how to "seal the deal", it's just about out-playing him in terms of defense and counter-punching.

[Koolaid_Man]

in other words seal the deal...

Now if I was mean I could say you sound like George Bush by disagreeing with what you agree with

but since what you said doesn't make sense I won't be mean...

But being the boxing enthusiast that I am...I do have a question for you...1.) how does one out play someone in terms of boxing...either you're a great defensive boxer or you're not...you can't "out-play" someone in the ring...and even more so if that person pound for pound is the best at defensive boxing...so you fail on that account...2.) and you fail on the simple counter-punching argument...elaborate on counter punches technique if you will...you sound like you heard some sound bites from HBO commentators and now you're learning the lingo...The Counter punch argument in and of itself is so cliche...

Listen here is why Mayweather is the best...He takes away your counter punching strength by fading away and it's the very same reason he frustrates opponents and it's the same reason I beleive he will actually catch Pacman and knock him out...

Let Kool educate you...Floyd never exchanges for more than 4-5 blows at a time in the base case. His hand speed will get him punches against you at a 3-1 clip. If he's exchanging with you for 4-5 or more punches even if he has the advantage he will back off...to avoid getting caught with a wild punch. So there is no real counter punching going on..on the inside exchange. There is counter blocking and counter moving but if you're a smart boxer...counter punching doesn't really work to your advantage with a boxer that's faster than you and that's doesn't really miss to often on his punches. It's either Floyd hitting you and backing off or you hitting Floyd and then chasing...the problem is if you chase you give Floyd the edge in catching you with his right as he's fading away. It's the very reason I beleive he will knock Pacman out if they do fight.

Pacman is just as fast on the exchange plus he throws Combo's from all angles the problem is two-fold for Pacman..He can't bully Mayweather around the ring like Cotto did trying to force the issue and he also has to deal with Mayweathers speed. Pacman will chase after landing a flurry on Mayweather and his downfall will be getting baited by Floyd to chase..and he'll likely fall with a right from Floyd as Floyd is leaning back.

YouTube mayweather vs corley. Mayweather vs Burton. Those were his best brawl from start to finish.

I'll take ignorant for a hunnid, Alex. Wasn't anything fixed about floyd whooping cotto's ass last night.

props on buying the fight, though.

Stay Trill.

You don't know jack about boxing or phrases in the English language like "seal the deal"

[hehateme]

Maybe in a future Rocky movie they will resurrect Sugary Ray Robinson to destroy Ugly Boy Floyd in a 2 round beatdown and then Larry Merchant (albeit probably 130 years old by then) will still be winded and confused trying to interview both of them afterwards.

This is one fkd up dude ^^


I love watching PBF fight because he is so damn good. Not since P. Whitaker have I seen a guy this good defensively, and I believe Floyd is actually better. The above being said Floyd took way too much punishment last night. He cannot and will not fight like this if he ever gets together with Pac. Arum is in the way, I wish Pac would walk away from Arum and Floyd could get together with him and HBO and do a split 50/50. They would both make more money. Worldwide Pac is much MORE popular than Mayweather. They need each other for huge bucks never before seen.

The fight should be in Manila, that would be awesome.

However, style makes fight, and I do believe if they both get together, the fight will be boring. Manny would press the fight, Mayweather will just backoff and counter.

I would love to see Sergio Martinez fight Mayweather or Pacquiao.

I would also. But I would like to see them fight each other before they are too old. Manny is very good at the hunt. He throws punches from such odd positions, I dont think PBF would be used to this. After Floyd counters he is gonna get hit immediately. You just know Manny is gonna hit him. I want to see how good he really is as I think he could take Mannys stuff and give it back.

[TheGreatest23]

Just heard Jim Lampley on the radio and two things he said stuck out.

1) he's always said that Mayweather would beat Pacquiao, but he is now saying it will be pretty even. He said that Pacquiao's power and speed will pressure Floyd to open up like with Cotto to make sure he gets some rounds, but pacs punches will hurt more.

2) he doesnt understand why Floyd brought up blood testing when manny already agreed to it a few years ago. the main issue is the purse split which mayweather wants more than 50%.

[TheGreatest23]

.and he'll likely fall with a right from Floyd as Floyd is leaning back.

haha when was the last time you seen manny get knocked down? hahah...you really think mayweather can knock him down...you're a fool.
