programer, this is two different sports right? Reprogramme your brain please, and join a spelling class. It is obvious you have a malfunction in your frontal lobes!
Don't worry, he's just trying to troll me in order to help him improve his English skills. @progamer, just relax, take a deep breath, and come to terms with the fact, that mayweather beats rousey and PAC on the same night.
Maidana has a better chance than Buster Douglas had going in against Tyson, Rousey has absolutely no chance.
I wouldn't say Maidana has a better chance than Douglas, I don't think it's even close. Douglas was supermotivated because of the death of his mother while Tyson wasn't training properly, had problems with his relationship, and a bunch of amateurs in his corner. Buster always had talent, much more than Maidana actually, but the Tyson fight was the only fight in his career where he was motivated enough to get into perfect physical and psychological shape while Tyson was a shadow of himself. Don't see any parallels here. Furthermore Tysons style has always been more vulnerable than Mayweathers when he isn't 100% or doesn't get people out of there early and backing away. Mayweather would KO Ronda without any difficulties, as much as I would like to see her take him down and break his arm, it won't happen. With Floyd you can't even hope for a reluctancy to punch women in the face if you know what I mean.
Hindsight is 20/20. No one was giving Douglas the slightest chance to beat Tyson. If Maidana upsets Mayweather, the same hindsight will come into play.
She's a beast, I don't think Floyd Mayweather is a real man or qualifies for reproduction purposes in her eyes. Poor Floyd just isn't very popular with the women :-(
You can't compare Mayweather to Tyson, different work ethic, different style, different weight, different era... The only thing they have in common is they are both black and like to beat up on women.
Are you old enough to remember the Tyson/Douglas fight? If so then you would realize how big an upset it was. Probably the biggest upset in the history of boxing.
I came to boxing later, around the time of Tysons comeback, but I'm aware of how big an upset it was, mainly due to peoples perception of Tyson being generally unbeatable and invincible. But like you said, judging from hindsight, the signs where there and I don't see a situation like that with Mayweather and Maidana, today we have internet and more perfect information that was not available back then. You are right when you say Maidana beating Mayweather would not be as big an upset in the general public eyes though, I don't dispute that.
For those of you who don’t follow boxing, David Haye (24-1, 22 KOs) is the reigning WBA World Heavyweight Champion who James Toney says he’s going to fight in October, right after he beats up Randy Couture at UFC 118. Coincidentally, Haye is a big UFC fan who trains in MMA in his spare time, so he can appreciate the danger that Lights Out/D-Block is putting himself into by taking a fight against Couture, even if Toney doesn’t seem to get it. From Kevin Iole via BloodyElbow: [Haye] doesn’t believe Toney’s going to be able to fight him after he gets pummeled by Couture, though he has mad respect for Toney’s boxing skill and record. “James Toney is the purest of the pure at boxing,” Haye said. “He is so brilliant at boxing and his skills are so ingrained in him that he’s been an elite level fighter, in shape or not in shape, his skills alone put him on another level as a boxer. Haye believes Couture will take Toney down quickly and easily and pummel him on the ground…“Six months of training isn’t going to be enough,” Haye said. “As a UFC fan, I know two or three years wouldn’t be enough. How many times has Toney sprawled in his life? 500? How many leg kicks has he taken in his life? 300? How many Kimura attempts has he defended? 140? Even if he’s done double that amount, he wouldn’t have nearly the experience needed to win a UFC fight.” Haye said Toney would be best off if he lands his punches early, because if he’s not finished after grappling with Couture on the ground, he’s going to be surprised by how beaten up and heavy his arms feel. “I know from training in MMA myself that the wrestling aspect ruins your punching power,” Haye said. “After a minute of grappling, your arms, back and shoulders fill with blood and even if you then find space to throw punches, your power is suddenly crap. “And I hit a lot harder and I’m so much faster than James, and I couldn’t land a punch on fighters when all they wanted to do was take me down to the ground. James is a much more static fighter than I am, and is going to get thrown on his back immediately by Randy. I admire Toney’s spirit and boxing skills. But he’s delusional here.''
David Haye? lol I never thought that much of Haye as a boxer. Step on his toe and he is incapacitated. Prime Tyson v prime Couture, in any venue. Who wins?
