Pbf already had a fight deal with CBS/showtime he fought Berto to complete his contract and retire. Ggg ain't make him soil **** ggg is a basic straight up and down fighter who went life and death with a man pbf damn near shut out stop!
Basic?? Dude... when you say stuff like this, you show how little you really know. And you know better. You say this due to being overly defensive and protective of lil floyd.
You cant reason with "certain fans". They have an answer before the question is asked and use outlandish reasoning to arrive at "their answer." GGG wallops Floyd. Some people identify with specific athletes and like internalize those people. Its pretty weird. So what ends up happening is any "slight" to Floyd they perceive as a slight to themselves. Weird AF... GGG is a career MW and stops Floyd who went from 130-147 with two fights at 154 and one at 152 w a rehydration clause. Dont see why or how some people think that's a diss to Floyd...tf?
That doesn't stop him from fighting GGG after. Ol Floyd used to check under his bed for GGG before going to sleep at night
Want to know the dumbest thing about these Floyd fanatics? The main reason they hate 3G is because in an interview, he was asked about Floyd. 3G said he’d have loved to fight him. And posters on the board agreed he’d beat Floyd. And the flo mos went crazy NUTS! They hated him immensely simply because of that. And then they came up with their silly reasons they hated him. “Oh, he never dared to be great!” “He never fought Ward!” Because noobs equate moving up in weight with being great. They think guys move up ‘Strictly for the challenge’. But they love Ward and he moved up not being able to make 168 anymore. They now love Haney, and same reason, can’t make 135. They are convinced 3G said no to Ward, when Ward said no TWICE. They are pissed 3G considered moving up to face Froch or Chavez Jr, which were big money fights, with the intention of going back to 160 for his unfinished business, being unified at 160. Which BTW’, is what made haney great, being unified. But when 3G tries to do it, he’s NOT chasing greatness. And Ward can have two fights at 175 BEFORE facing the champ in Kov. And they choose to forget 3G did fight the 168 champ in canelo anyway. Floyd fans simply aren’t very savvy. They aren’t ‘smart’.
Pbf was coming off a layoff and had a bad shoulder he was handling jlc with ease until the second half of the fight but he still won. In the rematch against jlc when fully healthy, what happened?? Jlc got handled and pbf stuck and moved on his ass and skated to a wide ud. I already explained to you about maidana they fight nothing alike, maidana is an awkward rough-housing slugger who throws punches from unpredictable angles the ref also let maidana get away with murder in that first fight along with pbf being cut for the first time in his career early in that fight. With that said maidana has much more faster hands than ggg and when they rematched pbf moved on his ass and outboxed him easily despite being faded. Stylistically maiadana will always be a harder match up than ggg who pbf is a stylistic nightmare for. Ggg is too slow of both hand foot and is at such an extreme disadvantage in reflexes that it would be funny to watch. His short arms slow hands and feet when in comparison to pbf would be too much, dude would look like he was fighting underwater ffs. Not only that ggg has never fought at 154 how do you know he wont be compromised?? As far as you bringing up Zab and Kostya that's irrelevant to our discussion pbf isn't Zab hes better and light years more complete so why bring him up? Don't bring up fighters that have nothing to do with pbf especially fighters who weren't as good or dominant. It doesn't help your argument. Ggg is one of the most overrated fighters in this forums history his fans thought he could walk on water. He kos heavyweights in sparring destroys Hagler. They thought he was going to make canelo leave the ring on a stretcher in that first fight and i said that would never happen because ggg had fought **** level comp. Funny when he started to step up and stop fighting the wades of the world his ko streak stopped and he started going life and death with guys like jacobs chenko canelo all gave him hell. Good fighter just not some generational talent his fans tried to make him out to be. We saw his level and it was not at pbfs that's for damn sure. Pbf ud the safest bet in all of sports for a reason
I was talking about hand speed. All this is useless. You really just don't know what you see when it comes to guys you hate. You say you love highly skilled boxers, yet you act like 3G wasn't. You think he was basic. That's a f'n joke....
Ggg couldn't wallop chinny jacobs nor could he wallop canelo a guy pbf shut out. You're right you can't reason with certain people because certain people don't know boxing they think a good fighter is all of a sudden going to embarrass an elite atg who holds a stylistic advantage in the fight. All I can say is they have a common opponent one made easy work of that opponent who's the face of the sport today, whereas the other needed 3 fights with him never beating him, all the while his career best win is Danny jacobs Lmfao!! Yet I can't be reasoned with? Man stop!
Chinny Jacobs?? Getting stopped once made him Chinny? Dude...if Danny Jacobs was undefeated, you'd be his biggest cheerleader. Hell, you were a Kid chocolate cheerleader, said he'd beat 3G.
He's not basic to most fighters but to elite atgs like pbf he is. Levels! He's simply not dynamic enough to beat a guy like pbf. You need a guy like rjj if he was the same size to give pbf that work. Someone who will be faster of both hand and foot better reflexes and longer reach with a great jab and pop. That's a stylistic nightmare for pbf.
Pirog showed you jacobs level by stopping him. Shame injures ruined his career fine fighter. As for jacobs wrong! I made a thread about Peter quillen and picked him to beat jacobs smh. I picked ggg chenko and canelo to beat him. I've never been high on jacobs.
that's your take? Since a highly talented Pirog stopped Jacobs, then Jacobs must've sucked? WTF is that man??
