was mayweather exposed? (vid inside)

been posted already homie

 

5:44 is the most interesting thing Skip said even though Steven tried to make a valid point.

To me, I've always wondered the same if there is just a little bit of doubt in Floyd's mind about where he is at in his career and where Pac is still at in his. Even if Floyd feels he can win, knows he can win...that little bit of doubt, knowing that you were even better than you were and could have undoubtedly put an ass-whooping on a guy like this...now, it may be a bit more riskier because you are not as fast, not as agile, not as young, etc. like you once were.

However, if he wants to compare himself to Ali and SRR...those two beat HOF fighters past their best so...that's a "Test" for Floyd to take if he wants to put himself in the same league as those two (unless he is just saying he is smarter than they are by not making an ill-advised choice).
But it's just a thought.


Skip is wrong about PEDs.

 

Skip makes my brain hurt.

Pacquiao struggles against Marquez and he struggled on purpose.

Mayweather struggles against Cotto and he's exposed.

Dumbass.

 

That's why he called Pacquiao personally on the phone to make the fight. Sorry, but that's not something that doubtful people do.

 

Floyd is 35 and past his best and just beat a HOFer in Miguel Cotto.

 

I didn't say full of doubt like Skip seems to be saying. I said "a little." which in return, may make himself push harder for the fight because its a challenge and something he couldn't live with himself with. Making the call gives him the chance to not only make the fight but also gives himself a guilty free conscious if it were not to happen. As if to say...I did what I had to do to overcome any doubt that I would beat this man.

Even Ali had doubts. that's why he talked himself up the way he did kinda like how Tyson discussed how he felt all through training camp and until he got into the ring. And those doubts for Ali gave himself a sense of understanding where he was at in his career. He made adjustments. Ex: Foreman fight. He said himself he knew he didn't have his legs like he once had so he had to adjust to what he was now.

Champions confront their doubts.

One minute they can think...Uh, what "if"...and the next..."F-that; I'm the best."


There is a great story told by Cus D'Amato about when he was younger and was challenged to a fight. Good read. Not sure where to find it. It could be around the net. basically about confronting your fears. I think its a story many that have been in this situation can relate to.

:good

 

no,but he exposed you as an idiot

 

I wouldn't compare Cotto at this stage of his career with beating the likes of a Young/undefeated hyped up Foreman like a past prime Ali did....would you ?

Cotto wasn't seen as this unbeatable force nor was he the top fighter people were begging to see you fight. Cotto was looked at as more on the downside of his career. If it was true or not, that was the perception.

 

Why are you changing your argument on me?

First you said HOFer, and now you're saying young Foreman? You should have stated it in the first place if that's what you meant to say.

 

So at 35 years of age, being undefeated and in the top 10 p4p for 14 years, he beats a Hall of Fame possible candidate in Miguel Cotto and he was exposed?

Think about that for one second. Then punch yourself in the face for asking such a stupid question.

 

If there is one thing about athletes and some others that are in this world of make-believe, be it what I read, see and hear....it's that they are in a class of their own and that Freud would need pounds of cocaine to get through a session with them. But "normal" people they are. Humans in general have issues.

Some of these MFers are schizophrenics and have mutual-personalities. Tyson said in one of the interviews I posted that you basically have to form a character to get you to fight on that level. Make/force yourself to believe.


I posted a thread on Floyd Patterson and Mike Tyson that gets into a bit of their psychology. Although I'm more from hearing it straight from the person's mouth of how he is, an outside (yet close observation) is always useful. The Tyson one from Jack Newfield's book was a bit disturbing. And to top it off, their "Mentor," Cus D'Amato was seen as a bit of an "off" character. The whole lot of them are ??? but you end up with cool stories. I can't say I'm any better so I'm not judging.


Here's the Tyson one

Yea, I don't know if an actual psychological study has ever been done on sports combatants, but it would be pretty compelling stuff. Especially when you factor in different backgrounds and situations. Like what someone like Kassim Ouma thinks before getting in the ring, seeing the absolute horrors in Uganda while in the NRA.
