The Boxing Thread

i would want to see a rematch because i didnt pay for the first one, but im hearing from every sports source that the first fight was a nightmare to put together and they dont really wanna do that again

It took 5 years to put together and the venue didn’t even have a contract signed on until the week before the fight (I think it was the venue…idk, I just remember that something wasn’t done until the Week before). Not to mention the whole thing with Showtime and HBO…yeah.

Between all of that and Mayweather really having absolutely no reason to do a rematch, it isn’t happening again and it wouldn’t even draw a gate close to the first fight to begin with.

Manny has a high fight iq. Saw he wasn’t coming back and coasted.

To say he doesn’t is idiotic. More fighters these days are about preservation than they are on “ko’s”

Sure you can go on youtube and say “here’s how to beat the best p4p boxer in the world.”

But putting it into action. The stress, nerves, training. It can’t replicate a fighter who is as smart, elusive, quick, proficient, and adaptive as Mayweather.

Game plans get shut down because mayweather also prepared for manny and broke him down by round 5. He times his counters and found his range and rhythm.

Stop being a justbleed guy

Like that was so fucking stupid. This fight just showed how much better Mayweather was. How not in it pacquiao was. This was just like every floyd fight against highly skilled competition.

He out classes and uses defense and evades getting hit.

Like honestly just stop

Well I guess Floyd is fighting Amir Khan. Cool I guess.

You’re saying this to the guy that’s defended Silva’s and Machida’s fighting styles, and the one who continually mocks Diaz’s boxing ability…

You don’t know shit about shit

Amir Khan? Shit Floyd may as well have fought malignaggi.

Amir Khan is journeyman level at best, shiat Mayweather might find the stones to go for a KO against him if that fight happened.

And then we all shit bricks when he pulls a buster Douglas and knocks out floyd.

Yeah it would be funny but remember Buster got handled by Holyfield. Mainly Buster had nothing to lose with that fight. He trained his ass off and Tyson didn’t take him seriously. I don’t think Floyd would do that.

Kinda like you don’t know your way around the female body.

I’ll leave you guys to it.

Did you have to use a bieber gif though? Dangit man at least use a gif of someone with some bass in their voice, lol.

I think it works on multiple levels.

Darkman

I know pussy just fine. I’ve actually tasted pussy.

It’s like you think just watching gives you clarity on what is going on. Fuck you need somebody besides your mom to beat your ass.

Feels like USA Today feels the same way about GGG against Floyd as us, kind of. Don’t think he would win, but I know he wouldn’t be afraid to get in there and got for that body.

He will go all in those first 5 rounds

The question would be if floyd’s arms and ribs can absorb those precision wrecking balls.

Floyd won’t want to tale em at all. He will use his legs the entire match and won’t allow those punches to do more than graze him. He knows if he takes hits even blocking he will just fall apart. Think Ippo v Mashiba in a sense.

GGG has great foot work though, he has 5 rounds. Then floyd coasts to victory

Wait…the khan thing is for real??

First, what many people need to realize is that not everybody who dislikes Floyd’s wins are Manny Pacquiao fans. Most people who dislike floyd are actual boxing fans who grew up watching the sport from the 80’s to 90’s. We never had fighters who dictated ring size or pushed for contracts in where the majority of their advantages are met, we never had fights where we payed 100 bucks just to watch a guy just run around and force his opponents to chase him… This is a fight sport. Imagine if that shit is pulled in the UFC, the amount of boos that fighter would get would be insane.

No one is against counter punching, evades, defense but what people are against is that opponents can’t fight on even plain. How the fuck was pacquiao going to get a hit if the fighter just ran around and clitched him everytime he managed to get in? If you think that is beautiful boxing then this confirms that boxing is a joke of a fight sport.

That is who the Mayweather camp is looking to. But since the fight is in Sept, Khan won’t fight because of Ramadan. I’d love to see GGG fight Floyd, but i doubt it will happen.
