I gained a lot more respect for Floyd after Saturday...

I said I could guide you towards the truth, not better than Jesus.

 

First poster that made me consider if Floyd perhaps should have acted different, after all :think

Preaching of this kind feels a bit misplaced in a boxing forum, but still kind of hard to disagree with.

 

1. You were a Holyfield fan right?
2. Floyd is the one who can't handle a little **** talk.

 

you should have enough sense to raise you own children, not look for someone else to be their role model.. Especially an athlete who is millions of dollars to win.. So where is the ethics in that?, paid to win.. That alone should tell you to raise your own kid not to take athletes and Television seriously.

 

To be honest I didn't want it to happen I thought he would get up and I wanted the fight to continue. It was a action filled fight.

 

well said on both accounts.

ortiz could have broken pbf's jaw with the head-ram. he should have been instantly disqualified to set a precedent.

boxing doesnt need **** like that.

 

No one ever said Floyd is perfect but his distractor love to hold him to that mold.

Second the ref has already warned you the fight has restarted, start ****ing fighting .. Lesson to kid pay attention or life will slap the **** out of you..
second lesson every action has a positive and negative reaction..
Ortiz made a negative action, that was met with an equal action,, his action was he failed to pay attention that the ref told him to fight, lets forget the head but and focus what the refs instruction were "fight" "lets go" not once did the he the ref say "lets hug" or "Drop your hands".. These are situation and decision ortiz had full control over but yet he fail to do so. and to that I "say la vie"

 

Did you ***** when your favorite fighter Holyfield used his head as a third fist?

 

Yeah, right, He just showed how stupid he was. Anybody can say that and it wont mean ****. Especially when he says to a guy who is arguably the greatest of this generation. A guy who never boxed says if he was younger he would woop a champs ass? Cmon, thats just stupid.

 

Preach

 

:rofl:yep:happy:good

 

Good post! Haha...just tellin it like it is NBA!:good

 

True.

But Merchant also approached Mayweather very aggressively and was obviously very judgmental about Floyd's final punches. Instead, he told Ortiz that he didn't have to be apologetic for head-butting his opponent, and also he didn't comment on Ortiz' claim that it wasn't intentional, when even a 5-year old could see he jumped in the air and tried to bust Mayweather's mouth with his head.

Merchant is often hilarious and always speaks his mind, but his approach on the two fighters right after the bout was the definition of double standards.
