Mayweather is the truth.. The greatest fighter I've ever seen...:good There's nothing this guy can't do..
I think floyd will win but would love for mosley to give him a scare ot two and a few problems and expose a weakness. it would make the build up to Manny even more insane
He cant last in a hard sparring session with you Tony, oh how I would love to see you smash that right hand through his shoulder roll - breaking both his shoulder and chin at the same time. Fook weight divisions. Seriously he is a great fighter but he aint Mr Boxing like he thinks he is and is imo screwing the sport up with his bull**** ways.
To much respect in the face-off laughing at each other. Hopefully it aint a boring affair come May 1st.
Its clear they get on, they prob have a lot in common and will be pals after the fight i'm sure. Like you say hope it dont affect the fight as Shane needs to be all snarly teeth come May.
Kid Gavilan takes a **** on his head, wipes it clean, then shits all over him again. In a strictly puglistic sense of course.............
Fleaman, can I ask how old you are please because the way you go on about fighters from '' back in the day '', you sound about 90.
Age? 21. And seeing as there is ample footage of Gavilan looking 3x as impressive as Floyd, and the fact he fought MUCH better fighters (not debatable) I doubt anyone who has watched The Cuban Hawk will disagree. :good
Gavalain was special, I just feel with time sport evolves.. I am a firm believer that the best footballer 50 years ago would not be the best now and it's the same with boxing.. I think Mayweather has just took the sport to a new level as Usuain Bolt has done in athletics.. With time you find progress and also the science of the sport is now looked up on.. I also work with a strength & conditioning coach and 5 years ago I would have laughed at the sound of working with one.. The things that are aviliable today make fighters better it's that simple, The fighters from yester year didn't have these things at there disposal. We are lucky to know and now have these things there for us to make us better athletes.. This is why I feel that the best Mayweather is the G.O.A.T well that is my opinion although as you can all see I do get wrong more times than I get it right:yep:good:yep
I respect your opinion big time Tony, you're the chap getting in there and taking/throwing shots :good But if gavilan from the 40's/50's fought the Floyd of today I have no doubt Gavilan would batter him. You only have to watch him to know his style is timeless:good Even as near as Leonard, Benitez, Duran and Sweet Pea; all more accomplished and more skilled than Floyd IMO. I just don't get the respect he gets. I would add that the numerous useless titles and more weight classes than ever make fighters appear to be better than they are.
hear,hear-the last sentence is the most honest i've heard about floyd recently. floyds annual itinery: retire wait for the good-uns to have a couple of hard fights fight the easiest/oldest retire i know many will say "surely that makes sense?" but,come on ..........
Well, it's only my opinion after all, but his legacy is hardly worth the praise he gets. His apparent 'impenetrable defence' would not look as good if he'd actually faced some quality offensive fighters. Good opposition, but no one to warrant the amount of kudos he gets, no questions asked.
Ive got a sneaking feeling for Mosley.Easy too say Margarito wasnt this and that but Mosley put on a boxing masterclass that night and a similar display gives him a good chance against Mayweather.
