Floyd Mayweather's peers (actual boxers) respect him

When Arum decides to let Manny fight Mayweather, let me know. Mayweather has been pretty clear: "Agree to full testing, and you get the fight."

So just wait for Arum to put Pacquiao up with Bradley next, and people will still say Mayweather ducked. LOL Arum already pulled the plug the first time for the Clottey fight. That's all the proof you need.

Neither of the fighters are scared of each other. That is just ridiculous.

 

Go to youtube and just search for
Holyfield talks about Pacquiao and Mayweather

Do the same with James Toney

saturday when my kid fought all the trainers there saying the same ****, and are disgusted with Floyd demanding the testing... one Coach clearly said **** that Floyds not bigger than Boxing, all I have to do is sign a contract and fight, the commissions will do their jobs

You know what I agree

Jabs doesn't win Pac his fights. Closing the distance? The best footwork in boxing would take care of that. Sure, Pac will eat some jabs. He'll walk through them like he walked through Margarito's, Cotto's, Mosley's best power punches and keep firing his combos. He'll miss alot. But he will land more than any other boxer has landed on Floyd. Pac's stamina would allow him to do this for 12 rounds if needed. Had De La Hoya not gassed after 8 rounds, his fight with Floyd would have been a tossup. Pac will finish what De La Hoya couldn't. He'll throw way more punches than Oscar and with greater handspeed and angles Floyd had never seen from his previous opponents.

Floyd already knows all of this. If he thought Pac was easy work, he wouldn't have asked for extra testing, signed the fight last year, planned for a rematch, and just waited to collect his $100 million dollars.

Floyd chose vacation instead.

 

Huh? James Toney loves Floyd. Says nothing but good about him

 

Like I said: *******s believe he is going to go in there winging power punches and beat Mayweather by "walking through his power punches." Ridiculous. Walking through power punches is not boxing strategy, and Manny isn't Rocky Balboa. I don't care what music he walks to the ring with.

Pacquiao's work rate was seriously limited against Marquez, but he's going to up the tempo on one of the best ring generals in the sport WHILE being hit with power punches? Sure pal.

If you don't think he needs an effective jab, you're seriously on drugs and don't know **** about boxing. Manny's off-balance combinations will be his undoing, along with the absence of a jab.

 

Every boxer wishes they had put themselves in the position he is in, including Pac. (Especially Pac)


These boxers who talk **** about Floyd have the right to. And in some cases they are right about some things. But in the end, he is his own boss, and all these greats wish they had done the same thing coming up.

 

You have to respect his boxing ability. Outside the ring............

 

IMO, I think Floyd is a good dude. A lot of people believe the hype that is thrown at them like sheep. I was at the Sugar Shane vs Floyd weigh in. Shane Mosley came and gone but Floyd stayed and signed hundreds of autographs. Playing the villian seems to suit him and people eat it up. Check out the post interview of Floyd after fighting Victor:

When you say boxing community, did you mean "YOU"?


Do *****s really need to justify what Gayweather did?

 

Loves him...but don't respect him.

He agrees Floyd is a great fighter, but that doesn't = respect. Especially since Floyd disses him every chance he gets. He claims in his era, they would've fought everyone.

 

I couldn't agree more these guys really don't know anything about boxing. They think just becasue Pac throws a 1000 shots and combos against one fighter that means he'll do it against PBF. It just doesn't work that way. These guys will get a severe reality check if this fight does come off. PAc will get countered to death with hard flush counters that will wear him down and make him think twice about coming in and after he starts to do that the fight is over.
