    JUST LOOK AT THE FACTS..........
    The Prims Donna coward that claims to be TBE:risas3: wants to fight a man that has never boxed as an amateur & is making his pro debut. He wants you buy the PPV farce for $100 a shot. And you are going to pay it too ????
    Anyone that does cannot be a boxing fan they are just mindless sheep buying into the hype. Just like the fools that bought Canelo-Chavez jr The fixed farce
    billed as " The fight to decide which was the best fighter in Mexico" ROFLMAO

    Ditto

    The WBA will not sanction this fight because they say is will just be an exhibition, not a real fight.................Void thinks the fans are fools and he is probably right..............hope not...........

    He also wanted El Pollo to give up his title rather than fight Golovkin............

    So we all thought but after the revealing face offs with Chavez I'm now of the opinion that it's Canelo who calls the shots,I truly don't think he realised how much backlash he was gonna get for that shameful act.
    Forced negotiations my arse,K2 went way beyond what was nessacery to please Jacobs,nothing wrong in waiting for GGG to look human but it was the lies that bugged folk

    The biggest star in the UK just fought Klitchko in his 19th pro fight. Was such an easy fight I can't fathom why Wilder wouldn't have taken it....

    Yes..we have some fighters over here who take the path of least resistance but the US is far worse at this.

    I think the fight is a joke however not for one minute do I believe if Oscar could be the promoter he would say no.

    His simply just upset his not getting a slice of the pie.

    Real boxing fans wouldn't support it anyway, because this is nothing but massively overpaying for a damn circus act.
    But ODLH is clearly putting this out on self interest, hoping that if the WWE show goes ahead, it won't cost him too many PPV buys.

    De La Hoyas obsession with Mayweather just comes across as bitter at this point

    I know there's no chance of this happening, but if Conor somehow KTFO Floyd, I'd die laughing.

    Are you serious?boxing and mma are both sport entertaiments.Conor is 0-0 on boxing.however the big lights and punching is nothing new for him.and seriously.do you consider Conor as 0-0 boxer.there are professionally sanctioned cab drivers etc in sport of boxing.and sometimes they fight against some good opponents.

    i'm boxing fan.but seems many boxing fans are salty about this match up..why the hell?it's sport entertaiment.2biggest names on combat sports.

    i want to see this match.just because Conor has so unique style also.that and Conor ability to handle pressure makes this interesting.and Conor has basically nothing to lose.all the pressure is on Floyd.and he happens to be 40yrs..

    i not understand why people overlook all these things.everybody things Conor is some absolutely novice.seriously you should watch some of Conor fights.Conors movement is amazing.also the shot placement,timing and accuracy.those all are main attributes in boxing too.and especially how you handle enormous pressure and the spotlight.

    Conor also fights totally different than anybody Floyd has never seen.and didi say already Floyd is 40..Conor is in his 20's...please people stop being so stupid.

    And yes,i have Floyd winning this fight.but it will be much more interesting than Berto or some other fights..Berto is better pure boxer than Conor yes..but Berto is so limited.Conor can use his hands and use his movement so good.

    i think you and many other boxing fans underrate the importance of moving,timing,shot placement and accuraccy.in those categories Conor is one of the very best.of course everybody will disagree.but i don't care.i only care what my eyes have been witnessing.

    i also sometimes argue,that too many boxers use the traditional boxing stance.yes,in many ways it's most efficient.but in many ways it's so limited.you are always so tight and robotic.Conor is elusive,you don't know what he is doing.don't have normal boxing stance.doesn't use the same old stupid tactics what so many boxers use..Conor things out of the box.

    you saw when Floyd fought Maidana..yes totally different kind of opponent.but mainly because Maidana is so ankward and different what everybody expects from boxers.

    i bring up now Jones jr and Hamed..those 2were unique boxers.and showed to the world you can box differently.Conor has little bit the same style.and before you bring it up.yes those 2 both are better pure boxers than Conor.but boxing is not boxing always.even if it sounds stupid.

    it's 2 man hitting each others with their hands.and you are allowed to use whatever style you want.you not need to use this boxing only limited style.you can use modern style.i like to call it as.because so many boxers are so robotic.

    finally may i add.Floyd has fought all his career and build his style to beat all type of boxers.problem now for Floyd is,Conor not things like boxer.Conor things it's a fist fight.and you are allowed to move freely,use feints,keep your hands where ever you
    want etc...yes,boxers also use those.but 99% them use those tools way too much robotic.

    sometimes i thing boxing,boxers and trainers are too scared to change.like every other sports.boxing has evolved.the style has evolved.but it's still lagging atleast 20yrs or something.

    when boxers like Hamed,Jones jr and Conor fights you.you never know what they are going to do.with 99% of boxers. you know before hand what they are doing.it's so easy to prepare someone like that.let's bring up someone like Cotto.great boxer,but don't have the slighlest clue how to improsive or think out of the box.it's the same robotic machine for 12rounds.for that you can prepare.it's nothing new...

    Conor brings something that Floyd or anybody else have never seen.

    may i add.it's problem in many things in world.not just in boxing..just because everything is running smooth
    and looks nice.in no ways it means everything is perfect.

    sorry about the text english is not my first language.and second problem is.probably don't find here too many intelligent people who understands my points.or even understand how you can thing out of the box or evolve.

    people are so brainwashed and how i like to say stupid smarts at the same time.but hey.that's what the goverment wants you.looking smart but in the end still as a totally ignorant fool.

    have a nice everyday for everybody. Don't be mad.just think what i said.open your eyes and brains for this match.do not be a robot.

    Prediction.Floyd will win UD.but will struggle early parts.in the end condition etc brings the fight for Floyd.as it has done many times before this.But i'm not shocked if Conor TKO's Floyd.if it will.it will be before round 6 or 7.

    actually i will give small edge for Conor trough first 5-6 rounds.but only small.Floyd is ****ing magician in the ring.Floyd survives first 6 and then he takes over.because by that point he has adjusted to Conor.but it will take time.mark my words.

    If Floyd loses, does anyone think he will try to keep it off of his official boxing record by saying that the fight was an exhibition?
