You do not understand, I get tremors. Real tremors and something I can only describe as "ball to toe cramps". I won't get into it but it's just...you don't want to know. That's not going to be better. You wait, I warned you. Ball-to-toe-cramps. (See first reply at the top)
Understand Floyd's concern. He's well versed enough in the history of the sport to realize that Judah is his closest analogue in style, physicality, dimentions...Zab just didn't have the mental discipline and contrivance of Floyd. Manny is seen, in Floyd's eyes, comparable to Kostya Tszyu and the fight between the two could well forecast that between him and Manny...he must plan this very carefully and muster all the advantages that can be invoked before the fight. Personally, I think the ***** is paranoid.
After getting rocked by Mosley a couple of times in the second round, I think Floyd is psychologically more confident that Manny is not gonna be able to do to him what Kos did to Judah in the second round of their fight...the last thing Floyd wants is to loose his undefeated record and be made to look like Judah doing the stanky legs in the process; one doesn't have to be a megalomaniac not wanting to pull a Kostyized Judah, it would be devastating to his legacy. This concern was borned out of the second round near death experience of one Ricky Hatton; that fight confirmed in Floyd's mind Manny's power. The Cotto fight confirmed Manny's ability to absorb superior punishment, even welcoming and liking to get hit in the mini ropadope demos. The Clottey fight just reinforced Manny's endurance and stamina. Floyd did the right thing and scuttled the previous negotiation for he is in need of another fight to mentally prepare to fight Manny. Despite Mosley being old and roided out, Floyd's performance against the old man is just what the psychiatrist ordered and goes a long way in psychologically preparing him for a possible encounter with the Pacman.
So if this fight happens what excuse will we get? Mayweather should fight Williams instead? , maybe Mayweather should fight Andre Ward or even Chad Dawson? :huh This is the fight boxing wants and needs and nothing else comes close.
I would much rather Mayweather/Valuev. The REAL top two p4p fighters figuring out who the best is. :deal
If it happens then it does because BOTH made it happen. You somehow make it sound like Mayweather is forced into the ring for this like he was for all his other fights according to former Margarito fans. If it doesn't happen then it doesn't because both have issues they can't agree with, if it does then it's because both have nothing they don't agree with. Notice how BOTH has to come into play for it to happen or not?
wont get my hopes up until the contract is signed. do not want to be too excited like I was in January
Hope they stack the undercard if this fight goes ahead, none of this youngster against an old man meaningless rubbish we've been getting on a lot of major fights. Fights between two established fighters could make a name for themselves with casual fans, good opportunity for some new stars to be born.
no, Pacquiao needs the challenge. The other guys around his size at 135 and 140 are nowhere near his level and even among the fighters that are bigger than Pac at 147, only Mayweather poses a risk.
