    Taxi for MVC!

    If you believe Mayweather couldn't make 144 had he really wanted to then good luck to you. All evidence points to the contrary. He openly showed disdain for catchweights, 600k isn't a lot of money to him, he supposedly walks around at around 147-150 (he had a fight night weight of 150 against Nelo) but couldn't shed a few more pounds with a full camp? GTFOH.

    Canelo begging for the Mayweather fight and conceding to a catchweight doesn't affect what I said at all. I said Floyd enforced a catchweight - something he has stated multiple times that he thinks is BS - on an opponent. Given the choice Canelo would have rather weighed 154 but Mayweather never agreed to that son catchweight there was.

    And as you no doubt read I never said it would of made a difference - the entire post was how Floyd obtained POINTLESS advantages.

    If you don't want to admit I had a fair point that's fine. I will leave it if you want to leave it.

    As far as the tough talk I was just being silly dude. I was talking smack to see if you would deny my point and talk smack back defensively aggressively instead and you did. My bad.

    The FACT is Conor has never boxed as a PRO before.

    The FACT is Floyd is one of the very best PRO-boxer.

    This match up is not a fair match up IMO. A fair number of posters dislike this bout not because they hate Floyd as much as you claim BUT because its not a fair match up because Floyd is too good for Conor.

    Don't go around assuming that MOST simply hate Floyd because of how obsessed with defending Floyd you are.

    Fair??

    There's no evidence that he's ever purposely tried to take advantage of any scenario, all you've posted were your thoughts about the entire thing. That's the biggest issue here.

    150 and 144, big diff man.

    He was also coming off a big layoff. That also played a part.


    How are you so sure he enforced the entire thing?

    Canelo suggested 150, they went with 52.

    No, because I wasn't being overly sensitive, I was trying to make a point but you went onto claiming falsehoods and then you went on the offensive. You started accusing me of saying things I never did!! Like the "everyone" example. I'm trying to properly explain things, but you're not listening.

    I can't help that man.

    ? I never talked smack, nor flamed. I'm trying to explain myself.

    Firstly, did you have this big of a problem with the Couture/Toney matchup?

    I'm just wondering myself. If not, then do you not see yourself as being a bit of a hyprocrite?

    If yes, then cheers, I want to see how aggressive you were about THAT fight, which ended up to be a ppv fight itself.

    Most of them are hypocrites, I didn't see them speak about the fight I just mentioned. When Floyd is involved, they're suddenly so against a cross over fight. It's just ridiculous! Nor did I see them speak out against Pacquiao/McGregor

    Lmao!! Yeah Floyd is such a risk taker isn't he?! Fighting a guy with ZERO pro boxing matches.

    Why not GGG for number 50 Floyd?! Instead of stupid Instagram pics of you weighing 160 on the scale and bitching about GGG in interviews... fight him! Or are we still praying he gets KOed by a hail Mary and then slows down some more?

    Ok ok ok,,,,

    Sheesh, you really put up a fight here tonight MVC.

    So do you admit your original post may have been a little overstated?

    Or are you claiming my accusation towards you was 100% unfounded and untrue???

    I'll explain it in words that are simple to understand (Not trying to suggest anything).

    All I've ever tried to say was a lot of the guys who opposed this fight (From what I saw were Floyd haters) are proven hypocrites, they didn't oppose it when Pacquiao said he would challenge McGregor). That's all! Ok, maybe the "idiots" was a tad harsh too, that probably should not have been said.

    It's possible that from how I worded it, you misinterpreted it (And that could go for others too) and that may lead you to believe that I meant to drag others in as well. I think it was just a misunderstanding myself, and before I got a chance to explain myself, you started bringing in terms like "Everyone, dingbat, etc etc" to try to bring me down. I saw that as false because I never used that word at all or even said anything like that. I just thought you were being ridiculous and overly dramatic about the entire thing. Then it escalated, and now it's been 1-2 hours, a complete waste of time imo for you and I.

    Randy and James??

    My thoughts??

    I claimed it was a totally unfair and thus bad match up because Randy would kill James. I promise. From the get go. I was passionate about it.

    James was out to lunch to fight under MMA rules with most top fighters not just Randy.

    Now if your coming from a pure place of just wanting to see what happens even if Floyd beats the ass off Conor in a unfair fight then fine. I can relate to it from that angle. Just don't pretend its something else.

    Put it this way, I think Floyd is WAY too good to be fighting a dude that has not had even 1 pro boxing bout yet.

    Vitor Belfort 20 years or so ago had the fastest hands in MMA and thought he would try his luck therefore at boxing. Before he cracked the top 100 pros he had been creamed so bad he went back to MMA.

    Oh I don't really care, I just like complaining because I'm a purest and this is a boxing forum. LoL

    But I meant what I said about how you over state your accusations IMO.

    Well I do not consider it a complete waste of time.

    From your last post I felt really good about how we understood each other. You said that me and others could have taken it differently than you meant it and that my friend is you being honourable to me.

    And yes I heard the other stuff you typed and its all cool too.

    Sorry for the dingbat and everyone.

    Double Standards!!!
    If it was
    Golovkin vs McGregor fanboys would jizz their trousers. " Oh, it's gonna make $100 billion, cadrillion, dollars." Triple G is an international star".
    If it was Pacquiao, "Oh, Pacquiao is a bigger star than Floyd and it a runner" . "Pacquiao vs McGregor can be held in Dubai in front of the Saudi Riyal family while tigers do back flips and leprechauns dance".
    Because it's Floyd Mayweather it's a stupid fight that they will watch anyway and pot RBRs on the night of.

    I hear you, I've had it up to my eye balls with GGG and Pacman fans! Well the extremist trolling ones I mean. Naturally not all their fans are like that.

    No need, I know you were just trolling, no harm for anyone, I apologize to you for responding like a child. Haha. I was just having some fun as well, but then it got a tad serious, but in the end. It's just fun. Cheers.

    I actually have 0 problem with ANYONe thinking this is a farce, 0 whatsoever. And it probably is one haha tbh in terms of competitiveness.

    What I have a problem with are people with double standards.

    People thinking that James/Randy was a good fight, or Pacquiao/McGregor being a good fight then they come at this fight with a different tone.

    Do you see what I'm saying here?

    I also think Floyd would destroy him, Conor probably will not land 1 meaningful punch the entire fight. I agree.
