ShoBox: Mickey Bey Jr. vs. John Molina & Badou Jack vs. Farrah Ennis RBR

He is what he is. Skill-wise, he is no more than a pure brawler with a Friday night ceiling. He does have big power, chin (ignore the DeMarco blitzkrieg) which he unfortunately is too content to rely on which could shave years off his career if not life, and determination.

Basically this:

His resume has names like Bey, Williams and Lundy elevating it beyond that mid-card eminence solely because of that combination of attributes (power, chin, will) and naught else. His skills are frankly deplorable for someone with that resume.


Hell, Chris Avalos looks a master craftsman in comparison. (though in fairness Avalos has actually spent the last few years improving...while Molina has plateaued and still just does what he does...and having success with it when matched with talented/skilled but fragile types)

 

"Now, I don't want you to get yourself arrested or nothing - but trust me, the best way to get rich quick is for you to run in that bank there and stick your index finger out through your jacket pocket and just ask the lady behind the counter to give you all the money while looking real mean..."

 

:nono

Buddy Sr. >>>> Floyd Sr. - as fighters, or as trainers.

Buddy gets a bad rap but he is often stuck in bad situations with hopelessly outmatched guys that nobody could help. (although he did absolutely ruin Malignaggi for a few years and deserves full blame for that)

Floyd makes everybody he coachesdemonstrably worse. Buddy did it to one guy, Malingaggi, and it was simply a well-intentioned but misguided style retooling. Floyd does it to everybody, and it's down to basic incompetence and the fact that he DKSAB.

 

Jack is flawed and shouldn't helm a world-class corner, but at least he does occasionally give decent technical advice. "DOUBLE THE ****ING JAB" has to apply once in a while...broken clock twice a day, ya know...:yep

Mayweather Senior just flat out sucks.

That comparison wasn't a knee-jerk reaction, either. For several years now I've consistently defended McGirt on here as underrated/victim of a bad rap...and decried Floyd Joy Sinclair as nothing but a fraud living off his brother's & son's name whose brain-dead stuttering ass couldn't handle coaching a girl's softball team.

He is as bad, as technically plain useless (and roughly as classless) as Yoel Judah.
