Mayweather v Pacquiao - CONFIRMED

[The Mighty Quint]

I know there are, I seemed to have worked with all of them, they are the only people I don't enjoy talking boxing with, kopites of the highest order

I hope we aren't falling out over MW mate, he's not worth it, you like him, fair enough, I don't like one thing about him, he's sh!t from top to bottom.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Have to disagree mate, his boxing skills are brilliant to watch. His shoulder roll is unbelievable.

I'm not saying he aint got skills, he's very good at what he does, it's just not for me, or a lot of others.

People who don't like Mayweather aern't true boxing fans and don't know sh!t apparently, that's delusional.

It's amazing reading this thread , it's genuinely like the kind of thing I'd expect to see written by kopites after Chelsea or United beat them .

We've had him criticised for not throwing enough punches until it's pointed out he throw more and obviously with more accuracy , he's been accused of not fighting anybody , we've had explained it reach or whatever that's the problem , that he's the only champ booed or that the bloke who sets ppv records can't get anybody to watch him .

I think it'd be a sweeping statement but I do think that there is a split between people who are more knowledgable about the sport and the more casual . Clearly on both sides people will buck that trend but that's a factor and surely you'd agree ?

I'm honestly not that bothered, I've accepted the lack of objectivity from manny fans fans a long time ago, he's had a fine career and theres no shame in him not being as good as mayweather

Everybody prefers a different style that is why judges cards can be so different. Its an each to there own sport.

 

[Donald Twain]

This argument is going on longer than the fight!

I like manny I'm not sure I buy the reasons that he was malnourished when when he started and grew into his frame meaning he's one of the only fighters to carry his punch up the divisions but that aside he's been a top class champion and I've enjoyed many of his fights . As you say there is absolutely no shame in not being as good as floyd , hagler lost to Leonard in his defining fight but I still massively respect him and his career .

I read something from David haye that i remember people saying to me when I was young and kidding myself I could box. "The object of boxing is to hit the other fella and avoid getting hit" , that's what Mayweather does and somehow it's a bad thing .

Yeah, the judges gave it to leonard. I have suppressed this anger for 30 years, now its all flooding back.

Now that could have a thread all of its own

If we let moral judgement come into judging boxers though we are going to have some problems . We've had many in prison like Liston & Hopkins , convicted rapist like Tyson and then racist comments like those by Ali , Hopkins & minter . That's just off the top of my head , if you're going to morally judge fighters then I'm not sure you're going to have too many to cheer on .

[Azzurri]

Are you not allowed to dislike Mayweather and his style of boxing?

I know enough about boxing to understand he's technically unbelievable, but in my opinion his style doesn't make great fights to watch and he's a thoroughly dislikeable person.

Is there something wrong with that?
