Why trade when you can outbox your opponents with ease? Only a fool would do something in a fight that doesn't give him the best chance of winning.:deal
COOL!!! All ya gotta do is PROVE IT IN THE RING AGAINST THE BEST:good Look at what SRL did and look at what Floyds done. It's like the "Right Way vs Wrong Way" Quiznos vs Subway Commercial:good
Leonard ran all night vs. Hagler. He tried his best to run against Hearns, but finally had to stop after being outboxed in the early part of the fight. No one is going to doubt Leonard's greatness, but there are no Hearns, or Duran's, or Haglers, or even Benitez. However, with his current wins, and add in Hatton, Cotto, and possibly Williams, and I think Floyd surpasses Leonard. Leonard will always be better head to head, Floyd is more talented. Right now Leonard is certainly ahead in terms of resume.
Where has that respect gotten him? Will that respect pay his medical bills when he's suffering from dementia in 10-20 years? I like Gatti, but if you ask any sensible person if they would rather have Gatti or Mayweather's career, they're going to choose Mayweather.
something you were unable to do:deal srl 3 time ring champ 147-160 floyd 3 time ring champ 130,135,147 floyd has done something ray didn't do and that was win 5 titles in 5 weight classes while remaining undefeated. All by the age of 30. How old was ray when he won his fourth title. you go on and on about fighting the best then bring up fighters like duran,hearns, and benitez. All floyd can do is fight the best fighters of his era. and if you think so lowly of floyd and what he has accomplished I can imagine what you think of cotto, and mosley who haven't accomplished nearly as much in their careers as floyd. now the question for you is what has benitez,duran and hearns accomplished in their careers that can equal to what floyd has done.
That make no ****ing since but , again look who it coming from . Iv made this analogy before but Ill say again for the slow folk... Any fighter that gives up his advantage in the ring weather it be speed, boxing skill or punching power to accommodate the less skilled fighter , Makes about as much since ,as throwing away your gun, in a 3 on 1 knife fight and fighting bare handed just to spice thing up, two words "Super Stupid" only a complete idiot would use this type of thinking path. atsch
SRL did trade cause he wanted to , he traded because he had no choice , given the option he would not elected to trade shots with Hearns, Duran , or marvin. in his second fight with Duran SRL chose not to trade , because duran was the better inside fighter , so Ray used his hand speed and foot speed to keep duran at distance . against hearns who was just as fast as SRL with a longer reach , Hearns hight and reach nullified Ray's hand and foot speed , so ray had no choice but to slug. Same with Hagler , not as fast as SRL but fast enough , with bottomless gas tank , chin of steel , Ray could only hope for a point win , to try for anything else would have been suicide .
And that's why Gatti got a boxing lesson as well.:good Pure boxing is the highest level of the sport not standing and trading.:deal
That's what I've been trying to tell these people it makes no sense. PBF is the best boxer in the world why stand and trade when you don't need to just to please some playa hating fans on a message board. The only way it makes sense is to a PBF hater because they don't want him to fight the way he stands the best chance to win by outboxing people, they want him do do what gives him the best chance to lose like standing and trading with bigger men.:-(
Fablous FACTUAL Rebuttal's It's extremely OBVIOUS Floyd doesnt have the comp and has to this point Cherry Picked every class of the way. More excuses, more bull**** and baseless allegations on INTENT of pointing out the facts. SRL went 15-1 with Benitez, Duran Twice, and Hagler inclued in 3 years at 147. Went on to fight Hagler, rematch Hearns, and Duran what would equate to 6-8 years from now for Floyd I hear people yapping, bitching, and making excuses:rofl I've said it at least 50 times, if Floyd proves it in the ring and beats Hatton, SSM vs Cotto, and Williams vs Cintron winners? I'll respect him and give him CREDIT.He still wont be an SRL or SRR, but he at least shows his willingness to face the best.
Guess what?? When you fight the best opponents? You get hit!! You talk this **** like Floyd's unhittable:nono Ok... fight the best and prove it. Think fighters dont realize that?? Why talk about WHY EXCHGANGE? Sometimes its necessary and involves getting hit. WHO THE **** SAID ANYTHING ABOUT GIVING UP ADVANTAGES?? You'e ****in pathetic:yep Twist **** into what you think you see?? Hearns was giving SRL a boxing clinic, got forced to exchange and what happened in the 14th??:yep When Floyd beats the SSM vs Cotto, Williams vs Cintron, Winnersafter Hatton?? Lets see him magically not get hit:good Love be called an idiot by a TRUE IDIOT:yep
:huh Floyd gets loads of respect. It's just that no one likes him as a person. And I can understand why.
