    training hard and being fearless are two seperate thingz u dumb babbling dickhead

    by the way sugar ray leonard had that fearlessness just like manny has

    floyd aint bad dont get me wrong but he is not on mannyz level for being able to look fear in hiz eyez and keep going

    why you think floyd has ducked so many fighterz in the past and manny has fought guyz that criticz said he waz over his head fighting ?

    any ideaz ?

    WTF? Floyd Mayweather Jr is highly intelligent. His business acumen is a direct result of his intelligence.

    One of the greatest boxers the world has ever seen & a high level of both ring IQ & intelligence makes him pretty ****ing dangerous.

    As opposed to Pacquiao, who cant even read & write, and beats up under-skilled and weight drained opponents :lol:

    Floyd will beat him....probably knock him late...he'll use his height and reach advantage very well...Floyd isn't stupid..He also knows pac's strengths...

    Give me one GOOD reason why you question Floyd's mental capacity especially INSIDE the ropes. I mean seriously give me just one. What has he done to make you say something like that? What crucial mistake has he made in a fight that really cost him?

    :lol: Who the hell are you? **** off.

    "Trains as hard and fights as well" were my words, and they were in response to the OP's comment about mental strength. Even someone as challenged by rudimentary spelling as you can see the difference between the two, right?

    I know Sugar Ray Leonard has mental strength. That was my ****ing point; just because a fighter takes a defense-oriented approach to winning doesn't mean he's weak-willed or scared. Sugar Ray, Ali and Sweet Pea are all glowing examples of that and I think it's a bit shallow for the TS to simply say "the judges will respond to Manny's heart and courage and give him the nod". Many of history's defensive masters have faced tough, game opponents, that doesn't mean those opponents deserved every decision.

    Admittedly Floyd didn't seem to keen on fighting Cotto, although he would have beaten him. But the Margarito fiasco was a damn joke. that pug had no shot of beating him with his wide, windmilling punches. Can anyone really criticize his choice to fight for more money against a much better opponent in Oscar De La Hoya? As for Mosley; Mayweather called him out for years back when Sugar was the darling of the sport. Mosley didn't wanna know about it. That pathetic ring invasion after Marquez was a massive sign of desperation, I wouldn't blame Mayweather in the slightest for having a private chuckle over that one.

    So basically Floyd ducked Cotto, right? the fight never happened for whatever reason, now it all seems a bit irrelevant. Shoudl we scour history for every mother****in' fight that didn't happen? I believe Money came out of retirement to fight Manny. His record is littered with once strong names and "Next big thing"s. He retired at the top. Now the scene at 147 is shocked back to life, and he comes out of retirement. Manny wasn't even on the radar at WW when Money retired, now he's the king. The fight's gonna happen.

    EXACTLY! It's like he's copping flack because he's never had to dig deep to win, but that's only because on a skill level he's a quantum leap over the rest of the game (That he's faced). It's a completely baseless statement!

    The reason why Floyd Mayweather will lose is because he is an over-hyped fraud who hasn't face a top fighter in 3 years. He hasn't fought a WW since becoming a welterweight. His career is a joke. His fans are morons. And his so-called "adviser" is morbidly obese.

    Pac, SSM, Cotto would all beat the hell out of him because he hasn't fought top competition since Republicans controlled Congress.

    He had to dig deep to beat Castillo with a bum shoulder and Zab got the best of him the 1st 3 rounds before he destroyed him. he was even woozy when Corley hit him with that looping hook but he beat his ass too. Pac won't land half of the punches he landed against Cotto and he will be fed a steady diet of straight rights and check hooks all night. lokl

    Ah, well referenced, sir. He dug deep against Castillo, won, then gave everyone the immediate rematch they demanded. :deal

    If people wanna criticize Floyd it's fair enough, but they need to keep it within reason!

    You must not read these forums much. Bruce Lee was a martial artist and movie star. He wasn't a fighter. He didn't fight for a living. Most of the stories we have about his fighting prowess are apocryphal, anecdotal, embellished, or devoid of any salient detail. We have little evidence that his fighting prowess was anything particularly special for a martial artist. Many martial artists have similar stories about them, they just didn't happen to also make movies and become world famous.

    The fact is he was a cool, very in shape, dude with a cool philosophy and some novel ideas about martial arts and fitness. And he made awesome movies, which made people care about all that other ****. Why people would expect what he says to be any more relevant to professional boxing than the myriad professional trainers and boxers out there eludes me. Personally I'll trust Roger Mayweather (or Freddie Roach, or Nazim Richardson, etc.) over Bruce Lee when it comes to boxing.

    I'll take that bet. Even Floyd wouldn't duck a fight with a corpse. But really, what did I say about a streetfight. I said Floyd KO1 Bruce Lee. Do streetfights have rounds now?

    First I want to apologize. You seem like a smart dude and I mistook you for a troll. But I wholeheartedly disagree with what you're saying. The quote of yours that I am taking exception to was your dismissal of the guy saying "I like Bruce and all, but people certainly pay a lot of attention to the fighting advice of a man who made movies for a living."

    I would listen to Freddie Roach over him, in terms of boxing too. But...

    Bruce Lee made a quantum leap in the science of fighting. He was absolutely a fighter. Then he became a movie star. But he was a fighter first. And he became a movie star because he was so good.

    I can't disagree with your assertion that Mayweather would KO1 him, but I find it highly improbable. Even though he was an amateur boxing champ back in China, yeah, Mayweather would probably take him to town in the ring. But that's boxing. You said "fighting". In a street fight, without gloves, Bruce Lee would kill Floyd Mayweather, no?
