Or that interview he put out saying 'Spence is too slow for me I feel very confident I'd beat him.... BUUUT I want to fight Connor McGregor or Ryan Garcia instead.' I was like to .

What made it even worse was nikkas really was giving him a pass for that bullshyt. Go to that thread aint nobody in therr criticizing Pac for that bytch made shyt he was pulling(yeah I said it that was bytch MADE).

If he easy work then make easy work of him and beat his ass then Pacman.

Boxing fans are the woat and I dont even stan Floyd or pacman. Mfs acting like its Floyd vs canelo
Passing of the torch
Nelo already had a belt and fought waaaaaaay tougher comp at that point. And it wasn't no exhibition. This era really that watered down
fukking teo beat loma who is p4p but fans can't even give him credit

I was going to bring up this fight and pose this question. What are examples of good/great fighters being used as a tuneup? It’s rare, but it does happen. You got to be a great fighter to pull this off though.

This fight right here is a great example. Mayweather comes back after nearly 2 years, to make easy work of Marquez. Marquez was just outgunned. Everything he brings to the table, Mayweather does better, which is why this was such a bad match up for him stylistically. Anyone else would be crazy to pull this with Marquez.

Pacquaio basically did the same thing with Matthysse. He wanted to bounce back from a loss, and knew Lucas had nothing for him. Again one of those situations stylistically where whatever Lucas brings to the table, PAC does it at a much higher level.

Oscar used Gatti as a tuneup after his loss to Mosely.

i always felt Mayweather used Maidiana (not only because he beat Broner) as a tune up for Pacquiao

For real Canelo was a unified champ when he fought Money May, nikkas say he was green... as a unified champ how the hell are you green. I don't care how young you are aint no unified champ green.

They just don't wanna give Floyd his credit for so one sidedly beating his ass. He live rent free in they heads to this day.

I disagree. Maidana met the typical requirements of a Mayweather opponent, which is the b side opponent coming off a big win.

Also, Maidana and PAC fight nothing alike.

A perfect example of Floyd using a tuneup to prepare for another opponent is Henry Bruseles.

yea stylistically they fight nothing alike but i meant more so to prepare for a fighter who likes be aggressive.

forgot to get back to you yesterday but holyfield facing ray mercer after losing his belts to michael moorer and damn near having a heart attack in the ring and being out of the ring for a little more than a year...mercer was still pretty dangerous..and he took the fight to him and gave him his first KD...decisive win...and looks even better considering lennox lewis went life and death with mercer a year after that

 

[The axe murderer]

Ray considered retirement after the first fight. I dont blame him that fight was brutal as hell
