Floyd Mayweather is an Uninspiring Amateur

I want also to learn potshot and run,if i could earn 200$ mil paydays
Floyd is there to win,not entertain just bleed fans.

 

In Amateur fighting you fight for less time in less rounds

 

Fighters do what it takes to win. To act like it is something any fighter could do is just a hilarious statement.

 

The question for me is why is Mayweather so popular among American fans.
Americans have traditionally preferred exciting fighters.

Personally I find him about three times more boring than Wlad, and that's intolerably boring.

 

OP, let me run something by you and you let me know what you think. Mayweather has won major titles in 5 divisions, only a handful of fighters in the entire history of the sport can make this claim. He's the only one to accomplish this feat without taking a loss. He's beaten over 20 world champions, has collected 3 FOTY awards, has been lineal champ in 4 divisions, has been a p4p rated fighter for almost 20 years, and has something like $500MM in career earnings.

Given his unprecedented success in the sport, why has no on else tried to emulate his formula? Correction, Broner has tried to emulate his style and has had nowhere near the level of success. And if Loma and Rigo are better at what Floyd does than Floyd, then why does Rigo get knocked down all the time? Why did Loma lose to the same type of fighter that Floyd has beaten decisively over and over again in his career?

 

You might be right. However, that never happened so you it's really just a guess on your part. And while it was Loma's second official fight(he actually had something like 5 or 6 pro style fights previous to his 1st billed pro fight), he was also 25 years old. So I could easily counter your argument by stating that a 25 year old Mayweather would never lose to Salido. That's just another guess though as well.

Taking guesses out of the equation, we have seen Mayweather take on that style of fighter several times and win decisively. Furthermore, it's a bit of a contradiction to say that right now, Loma is better than Mayweather while at the same time dismissing him losing to the same type of guy that Mayweather has beat over and over again due to Loma's lack of experience.

 

Fighters come to the ring with different styles of fighting. How can you fault one for having a style that most can't figure out. Great fighters adapt and find a way to win. No excuses.

 

Interesting thread. Surprised you haven't been labelled a "hater" yet, or spammed with #48 or 118-110

 

The funny thing about threads like these is that idiots like the OP try to define and encapsulate Floyd's entire career with his style at 38 years old.

Where was all this running and hugging against Canelo, Cotto, JMM, Hatton, Mosley, Judah...?

This is like me watching Hops vs Kovalev and coming to the conclusion that Hops has no chin and no inside game.

Guess what, guys get older, and the best fighters as they get older adjust their style and somehow manage to remain effective enough to stay on top.

The idea that anyone else can do what he did if they just used the same style/mentality is utterly ridiculous. No one else is good enough defensively to even come close.

 

On the surface this does seem like a fair point. However, Loma was a 7/1 favorite in that fight. I seems to me that you're implying he took a fight that no one in his position could win. I'm not sure how valid that argument is considering Loma was an overwhelming betting favorite. Furthermore, I'm arguing that Loma isn't as good as Floyd right now. If Loma is as good as Floyd right now, then it's hard to mitigate Loma's flaws due to his lack of experience.

When looking at the big picture, I believe it's a credible argument. However, in the context of who is better right now between Floyd and Loma, I don't believe you can make the claim that Loma is the better fighter while simultaneously disregarding information that would suggest otherwise based on his lack of experience. Now if you want to argue that Loma has the potential to one day be better than Floyd, I believe that using Loma's lack of experience to mitigate his loss to Salido is very credible.

 

man you dont know **** about boxing

 

Exactly

 

For Mayweather to be so "uninspiring ", he certainly seems to generate a large amount of activity on boxing boards.

 

This link here shows Loma as a little more than a 6/1 favorite

At the time of this writing Lomachenko is an overwhelming favorite to win at -625 while Orlando Salido is the underdog at +400.

This link had him as a 6/1 favorite

So I don't believe me saying Loma was a 7/1 shows any sort of bias being that there were sports books who had lines close to that. In regards to Loma's fight with Salido, in a vacuum that was a gutty performance by Loma. I give him a lot of props for that fight. However, when you say that Loma is better than Floyd right now, then you have to ****yze both of them as fighters right now. In this regards, it seems as though we are arguing two different things. I'm ****yzing Loma in his current form, you seem to be projected his future form based on current results. How do you see it?
