    he has good timing which makes up for his lack of punching power

    He's a promoter ffs and if more than half of the people is walking out of the venue in the middle of the fight then something is wrong.

    This isn't the amateurs anymore, majority of the people who went live there wants to watch a fight. All we can wish is that people would appreciate that kind of talent more but that ain't gonna happen, not anytime soon at the least..

    In the end, no matter what you say about Arum. Its really for Rigo's career, for all the talent that he has he wouldn't earn a lot with his style. He needs to make it a little entertaining for the fans.. Its them who's paying.

    It should be clear by now, that what bowing_master is doing here is an example of 'hidden' trolling. :D

    About Pac and Floyd. No one has looked more than a ***** in my eyes than Floyd himself.

    He laughed, insulted, cried and more in front of the camera when talking about Pac. You can have your reasons on the business side, the hate/arum side or whatever(and I will respect that).. But In my opinion.. I have never seen any boxer become a ***** more than Floyd is when Pac is in the equation.

    Well you can't have everything, he has decent power.. I believe he could hit a lot more harder if he decides to really commit to it but it would slightly if not ruin his balance to get away or get back to stance or whatever.

    That set of pranks you've labelled bitching is also part of the business side, dude.

    Same reason why JMM is the only person to ever KO Pac.

    Timing. Using forward momentum to magnify a well timed punch has that stunning effect.

    But who am I kidding, this should basic knowledge to people who actually box. ESB posters however...

    It might be, but I've never seen a boxer looked that much of a diva ever, no one even comes close and only to a single fighter... To make others say that he's making the brothers look bad.

    Again, that's part of what makes him the best selling fighter/boxer in the world for some time now, in the history of the sweet science, and presently.

    Unfortunately for you, though, the bitching you're doing yourself does not sell.

    Mayweather def has something behind his punches , combine his speed accuracy and he is also physically strong ! Im sure when he lands flush not many people are walking through his shots, in fact no1 really ever walked through his shots :)

    Espinoza has proved only one thing-how to spend CBS's money.A subscriber to Showtime does not get you Floyd's fights,they are all on PPV.Their boxing budget is shot and that is why Showtime are placing Canelo's fights on PPV where the promoter takes more risk than the distributor.

    He does land accurate shots, but lets face facts.. Nobody can walk through his punches because
    A) He doesn't throw that many punches (he throws a little more these days) to walk through.
    B) When he does throw punches, he moves, sometimes he does literally "RUN"
    C) He fights plodders who can't catch him (look at how well Cotto did with some foot speed)
    D) He holds, he elbows, hits on the breaks.. He uses every dirty trick possible without kneeing the guy.

    Between cherry picking, skills, foot work, running, holding, landing elbows and dirty tactics.. You got to knock him clean out to win
