    was thinking about how good floyd is at talking **** but cant remember him talking smack to an opponent. i do remember him talking about the Super Bowl that one time. that was pretty bad ass. i remember tarver talking junk to roy jones before the fight. anybody got any examples of fighters talking smack to each other in the ring?

    You think Floyd is actually good at talking ****? He is horrible at it.

    Mayweather: "In the fight I was talking to him. Telling him his jab isn't
    fast enough and it is, show it to me. So he would throw the jab and I would pull a counter over it."

    Mayweather: " I kept telling him, "Stop holding. Let's give the fans what they want to see.""

    This was in the Mosley fight

    Marvin Hagler did it to Sugar Ray Leonard, told him he was fighting like a *****. Not sure if he did it to other opponents?
     
  8. When some do it, it gets in my nerves, I always loved when Pazienza did it though

    I found it hilarious in the Floyd/Mosley fight when Mosley started talking **** and Floyd nailed him mid sentence.

    I remember Richard Steele in an interview saying during Hagler /Hearns you wouldn't want me to repeat what they were telling each other during the fight.

    I would like to know what MAB really said to him if he did anything.
     
  15. Hopkins doing push ups in between rounds was pretty awesome, talking smack without words.
