gnasher16 29,948 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Floyd's a class act but that's the last fight I pay to watch with him involved. I can understand that......the average fan wants to see excitement and when they cant see that they at least want to see a close competetive fight.......Mayweathers ring intelligence is so high i cant see him having many close exciting fights.......personally i enjoy watching him as i was the sort of careless brawler who took 3 punches to land 1 of my own so i appreciate his artistic skills perhaps more than most......but even so i still couldnt watch a Mayweather fight more than a few times it just becomes predictable...We,re a funny bunch in England though.....most nations admire sporting greatness where as soon as someone gets too good at something we pull them apart......look at the shit poor Steve Davis used to get for being brilliant ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeemes 4,206 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Mayweather is a winner but thats all he is. Im sad to say that I think pro boxing at this level is also very bent. Gnasher i dont think we pull him apart because hes too good,we do it because he is not an honest fighter,and only thinks of winning.. at any price..you only have to look at him running from Midana like ballet dancer. I was a fan of his until i saw that display..I think hes a cowardly man who is best at not allowing people to beat him..Thats not the same as a true champ in my eyes.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They had to change the rules to handicap him! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When you play cards for money do you play to win or to have an entertaining game ?........Put your own money/arse on the line and see how much chance you give the other person If he breaks the rules then so be it,but he doesnt.....He threw and landed far more punches than Pacquiao did the other night theres nothing in the rules that say opponents cant fight the way he fights........ I find watching Mike Tyson 1 punch ko highlight reels followed by biting an opponent to get out of fighting him cowardly myself......Mayweathers pinpoint counter punching on the back foot i find technically brilliant......each to their own.

jeemes 4,206 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Another thing and just my opinion obviously,a true champ doesnt worry about what gloves or box the other bloke is wearing. He is in a position where people who want to fight him have to agree to virtually every little demand that he makes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 25,315 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Is it true Manny is blaming a shoulder injury for the defeat? 2 lawsuit's been filed against Pacman by disgruntled fans for not revealing the injury before the fight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeemes 4,206 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I dont blame them..Some people spent a fortune on seats,bets or both. I couldnt understand when Manny had Floyd on the ropes after hurting him he just stopped and stood back. Understandable if he was getting nowhere but he had just landed a bodyshot behind the right elbow of Floyd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
