Lmao. Maradona Mexican fighter use to this Everytime. I enjoyed watching those free fights every Saturday. Too bad he retired.
Paq needs to have #5 with Marquez in early 2014 and assuming he wins which is far from certain a late 2014 fight with Mayweather would have almost the same level of hype as it would have before the loss. Paq didn't lose to Bradley and avenging the KO by Marquez would put Paq back near the top of the pound for pound list. Sucks that Marquez lost to Bradley, but hardly anyone took notice of that fight -- it kind of flew under the radar.
DAMN, I didn't even know about it when did Marquez and Bradley fight/ this year, the *** wasn't I aware of this?
Haha, I laughed my ass off after that one. Clowning in the ring is one thing, but for Broner to do it after 1.5 rounds of getting his ass kicked was suitably obnoxious. For Maidana to respond by knocking him down shortly afterwards, then mock Broner after the fight was pretty much decided.... I loved it. He has sufficient power, but certainly not the 1 punch knockout power that will let him get away with landing 12 punches per round. Regardless of how much trouble he was in, Broner just sat back like he was going to get some big window to deliver a KO. Either he wasn't capable of making the needed adjustments to start dictating things, or he was just too damn scared of Maidana's power to even try. It's been painfully obvious for a while that Broner is no Mayweather. Glad he's got the loss to prove it now. He'll need to figure out what he's about now, because Billions won't be on the table anymore.
Ya Floyd said it's ok to lose to Broner. But being undefeated for May is the biggest thing. I think Floyd really means to say, it's ok to lose, not everyone is me. I think money is lower on the priority list for Floyd in taking a Pac fight. His legacy and his record are more important to him. Again, just my opinion. The reasoning I say Pac has to prove more, is b/c it has to be worth the risk for Floyd. Khan, Ghost, etc. are/were low risk fights for Floyd. My point being, for the risk to be worth the reward, Pac has to show he's the same feared fighter of a few years ago. I don't think risk/reward is BS for Floyd. He is his own promoter, so he gets more say than most in who he fights and when. For his legacy and his undefeated record, it is all about risk/reward. Look at Broner, haha. There is a lot of risk that comes with talking THAT much ****. Reward? He could be the "next Money May." The downside to that? Well, we see that now. Anyway, just my take on it.
He has power...well Maidana admitted to as much. It certainly looked like at least once or twice Maidana felt it enough to be slightly stunned, or to stop coming forward as much. His power was much "stronger", if that makes sense, at his previous weight classes, so it seems.
If its about legacy, a Pacquiao win would be the best, if not one of the best wins on his résumé. And Floyd doesn't care about legacy as much as you make it out to seem. He cares about money first and foremost. He even said himself when Mosley said he only fights for money, Floyd replied "*ucking dummy, I'm a prizefighter!" Lol
I'm OK to agree to disagree because if it was only about money then Floyd is ducking. From what I've read/heard of the fight, I think 50 said it best. He left 100 million plus on the table, and I think a 55/45 split. If its always been about money then the fight should have happened before. And even still it seems like Floyd now goes out of his way to not fight a older and slower Pacquiao. And latest word on PAC being the mandatory forbone of his belts...well we knew it, Floyd just says he can have the belt.
Absolutely. I thought he had Maidana during the 11th. No doubt his power was more noticible at lower weight classes. That will typically be the case. I just thought that saying Broner didn't have the power for middleweight was short-changing him a bit. He has KO power for middleweight, but not the 1 punch kind. He has to put out more volume to be effective. On another note, with Vitali Klitschko officially vacating the WBC title, does this give Wladimir a chance to unify? Or is there some other back door politics that would keep him from getting a shot? From what I've read, the it looks like Cristobal Arreola could fight Deontay Wilder (Whom I am very excited to see move up in competition) for the vacant title, and the winner of that match could see Wladimir. Wilder v Klitschko would be an exciting matchup.
Whatcha mean? In my posts, I'm not saying he's scared of Pacquiao. I'm saying it's not worth it for him to fight him now. *Maybe* a few years ago, but now, no. Angkor and I were just discussing why each of us thought why Floyd is not taking the fight.
