If I was seeing Floyd and Ricky for the first time on 24/7

big surprise when ricky realizes brute strength can't beat pure technique

 

yea in the show floyd looks slower than usual. a far cry from his corales fighting days when he was pure lightning or even mitchell

 

I agree thewoo, I don't think there is going to be much difference in the strength of either fighter. Both will no doubt surprise each other with how strong on the inside they are. However I don't think most people are picking the winner on the basis of this show, the majority ( there will be one or two on either side ) know there preffered boxer, but possibly doesn't know too much about the opponent thus can get carried away like some are

 

Tysons defense was vastly underated during his prime. He fought more like Hatton after prison, and wasnt as successful.
Hatton trains with a lot more intensity and fights the same way, but its like watching Lennox Lewis train vs Tyson, its a huge difference. Lewis was a boxer and Tyson was brawler.

 

Plus skills, speed, quickness, technique, and head movement. Don't act like Mike was a heavyweight Mayorga.

 

I would say you are bang on the money mate :good

 

Selective editing to manufacture consent over the idea that Mayweather's reign is seriously at risk.

Can't blame the show producers, they have a fight to sell.

A statement such as: "This is a complete mismatch" wouldn't sell well.

 

Nor would it be anywhere near accurate :good

 

You know what? I think it's gonna be one hell of a fight and that's all it matters to me.

 

To be honest I think that is what most are hoping for, I certainly am. We want an all out war and may the best man win.

 

Zactemundo!
