Give the man the respect he deserves!!!

Respect for whta?

Pulling a ***** move in the weigh in when he was already fighting a guy that had no advantages over him.

 

You're a new guy here so I'll give you a pass for not knowing WTF you are talking about. I have always respected floyd as a fighter, I am one of his biggest defenders on this site and a big fan.

That being said, last night was lipstick on a pig. It was a mismatch, floyd did what he had to do but I am not going to chalk this up as some great win, end of story. My problem is not with Floyd himself. It's with his choice of opponent in this particular case.

 

yeah but the respect comes from the fact that this is the guy that most of us believe beat pac man (his name i demolish every time i spell it).. And so many of us are craving for floyd to fight pac..

Now since everyone says well look what pac did to the same two fighters that floyd beat..

People should now be saying look at what Floyd did to the fighter that beat pac, the fighter that pac doesn't want to fight a 3rd time, the fighter that prior too was "no tune up for Floyd".......

Yeah he did what a lot of us boxing fans expected but did you guys really expect it to be that kind of blowout against a fighter who people say is the most intelligent and technically skilled fighter next to Floyd?

 

yes and I'm not just saying that after the fight. If you read my prefight posts I predicted a complete shutout. I actually am surprised that Marquez was as competitive as he was. I expected a stoppage. There were very good betting odds on mayweather by decision not because people didn't think he would win but because he was expected to stop marquez.

 

no hugh grant is a disgrace to your country. someone who respects a great boxer for their skill and dedication should be praised..

 

Not shot just overmatched. "the pride of Mexico" What good does that do? Marquez is in there by himself not with a bunch of mexicans. He didn't have a single tangible advantage over Mayweather here.

Punching power - Floyd
Age - Floyd
Handspeed - Floyd
Chin - Floyd
Every single aspect of size(height, weight, reach etc) - Floyd
Footspeed - Floyd

Not to mention that he had only 2 fights at 135 (2 weight classes lower than this fight) and the overwheming majority of his career at 126).

You don't have to be a bum to be completly overmatched 2 weight classes above the highest you've ever gone.

 

I hope you understand that most who hate on Floyd don't care who he fights they just want to see him lose. He could fight B.Hopkins and win and those who aren't true boxing fan will find a way to hate on him and not give him his just due.

Floyd has nothing to prove and he's coming back for a few more paydays. Shane doesn't deserve a shot. He couldn't even get by Cotto. Remember after 40 fights, if they don't understand his greatness then they choose to be blind. Who cares if he talks trash, how can you deny how great of a fighter he is. If you fools choose to be blind I'll gladly continue to take your money.

 

Had floyd lost I would be joyfull. Not because I hate floyd but because I would have been happy for Marquez. It took a ton of balls to step up the way he did and it would have been awsome to see the gamble pay off. Plus I'm half mexican and I love upsets.

 

ok but just because you thought that and you were right for once in your life....does not mean that the majority of people thought that!!

New guys post is'nt for you for that matter. He is talking to everyone else..Not u Mr. guess right

:thumbsup for guessing correctly....I hope you bet in vegas..
