Why are people saying it's a warm-up? That's stupid. It's a good fight in itself. I'd rather Ortiz have more experience at 147, but at least he has something and that he's beaten a top 5 fighter (who was on the way up) at the weight without there being hint of a fluke. (I don't mention belts unless necessary).
Here's exactly what will happen: He'll lose the urge and retire YET AGAIN, walking away with your money if you were dumb enough to purchase the fight. If you're lucky, he'll again make a fool of himself on youtube posting racist videos and how he'd kick the crap out of that asian midget, and again pretend like he's ATG, maybe he'll hit another woman or something... That would be something wouldn't it? I didn't complain, I'm explaining why there's not much love for Chicken Fraud Gayweather and why people would rather see him retire than pretending like all of a sudden he's interested in getting back to boxing. And by getting back to boxing, I mean getting into real fights and not cherry picking ***gotry.
unlike manny's last few fights, mayweather vs ortiz is a good fight on and off paper.he no push over, hes not old, he is in his prime, wbc ww champ dont hurt either. oh instead of coming of loss and then fighting someone, how about fighting someone coming off the biggest win of there career ? and mayweather has been off for 16 months.hell of a tune up if you ask me.when the last time manny fought a strong young fighter at there right weight. the answer is NEVER :good
I don't like Floyd, but i think it's a bit pathetic also. No one else to fight. I think it's a pretty good fight.
Thanks for explaining that. So this is his last fight? Don't tell anyone else that, he may get more buys since this is his last fight and all...
Or he fights some other past prime, smaller, older, inexperienced, etc., fighter, in which case, again, he might as well retire... It'll just be more of his ***gotry. he fight people want to see is vs Pac. Let's face it, Fraud doesn't care about fans, he doesn't care about legacy, and he doesn't want to get into hard fights, he's in it for the money. Anyone think otherwise is deluded. So seriously, what do you expect? You think we'll see something more than his ducking?
At worst Pac-JMM and Floyd-Ortiz are B- matchups. Trust me, it could easily be worse. Would you rather watch Pac have a rematch with Margarito? Would you watch Floyd fight Spadafora instead?? The second best matchup that can be made in boxing today has been materialized in Haye-Wlad yet people would rather focus on shitting on Mayweather or Pac. Do these ingrates actually enjoy watching boxing? Upcoming fights: Williams-Lara Rios-Antillon Alexander-Matthysse Khan-Judah Wlad-Haye Mares-Agbeko Pac-JMM Floyd-Ortiz Ward-Froch This is an above average lineup and it's only gonna get better with matches that are likely to happen such as Bute-Kessler and Hopkins-Dawson. If you still willfully look at the cup as half empty then you need to find a way to fix your problem because it lies within YOU, not the boxing community.
I'm not keen on most of the new posters, but you should stick around - we need some positivity and common sense around here.
Indeed, because there's no talk or hint about what this warm-up would be for... MIght as well call it a money grab. Fraud Gayweather is the greatest boxer of all time. He should be fighting Pac. Tell you the truth, he's not the greatest boxer of all time, but maybe the greatest ducker of all time...
You're right of course, TS, but you know you may aswell be pissing in the wind trying to explain why this fight is good to those cretins.
Good for who/what? Good for Fraud's bank account? Sure... Good for bars who'll sell beers? Sure... Good for who else and why? This fight is a testament to the sad state of boxing.
It's no surprise. I remember when it looked like Mayweather/Pacquiao was a done deal about a month or so after the Pac/Cotto fight. People were actually complaining and saying that Mayweather was ducking Shane to fight Pacquiao.
Pacquiao fans aren't boxing fans They see boxing as a battle between rival fans Who haven't they abused on here in the last year? Bradley, Marquez, Mosely have all got the same treatment You know, normal fans just ignore it
Pacquiao fans get upset when people question his opponents They get even more upset when Mayweather makes him look bad. Manny's slowly getting a rep for cherry picking Mayweather's slowly losing his That has to be hard to take So they troll
