Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

[GREENandYELLOW]

It seems like in order for some boxers or fans to really respect Manny's skills, he has to personally kick your ass. Before they fight him it's all.....

Manny ain't wake up yet.

This little guy can't hurt me.

He has no jab or boxing skills. He just runs in and throws a bunch of punches.

Once they see the handspeed right in front of them it's..

Then they catch the 1st hard fade it's...

After the fight its. "Manny still got it." "He's one of the best fighters in the world."

The two fighters opponents talk trash about and then are in awe of after the fight is Floyd and Manny.
No one believes Floyd is that much better than them until they go toe to toe.
And no one understands Manny's combination of conditioning, speed, and power until they get out the ring.
Those two dudes are just different than the other guys around. That is why there will always be people wanting to watch the two of them fight.

a round and a half of clinching shat up

He still dominated dude. I don't watch videos that try to prove bullshyt points. Maidana should have done something about the clinching instead of falling forward into after throwing a haymaker. Alexander clinched in order to deal with it. Floyd gon have that forearm at ole boy next and then drop that inside uppercut. Maidana is going to wish he was only being clinched.

Beside's everybody's take on clinching is different. If a guy's clinching, but letting his hands go at a steady rate while landing hard shots, then I really don't mind. Especially if it's a rough fight.

but if your clinching just to clinch or because you can't do anything else effective then it's become a problem.

Funny how nobody ever cuts up Hopkins clinch foul filled fights in order to make a bullshyt point. I guess it's because the fights are so awful to watch that nobody wants to spend time looking at that shyt again trying to dissect clinch moments. nikkas trying to turn Alexander/Maidana into Wlad/Povetkin.[DOUBLEPOST=1397673600][/DOUBLEPOST]Molina clinched his ass off against Kirkland, but he still let his hands go and backed dude up all while boxing the shyt outta dude. Yeah he clinched a lil too much, but he still landed enough clean shots where it wasn't a Ruiz fight. That fight to me had more clinching than Alexander/Maidana, but people hardly talk about it. They just remember the knockdown and late fukkery.

Gennady is a beast...didn't he have a passing in his family recently that halted training?

He was set to fight Andy Lee in April and his Dad died. His country's custom is that you take a 40 day mourning period, so the fight was cancelled.
His management then started negotiations to make GGG-Chavez Jr for July and GGG has signed...but now Bob Arum is trying to make JCC sign a contract extension in order to get this fight.

Hopefully something gets done so GGG has a decent opponent available. Geale and Macklin just signed a fight for end of May and now Andy Lee may have a fight in May in Wales.

@merklman.....no thoughts on Floyd Mayweather saying that Pacquiao has to beat both JMM and Bradley before being able to "step into the lion's den" with him?


You thought I was making that up didn't you?

The article which you first posted had no mention of it, which is why I asked for the link/actual direct quote
You came through second time round


For the record, fukk a bradley/JMM rematch. He clearly beat Bradley the first time round, and this put a full stop at the JMM story.

Id be interested to see manny come over to GBP. He'd fit right in with the 140/147 guys.

I think Manny is the 2nd best 140/147 fighter in the world right now (obviously after the #1 140/147/154 fighter Floyd) and TR needs to somehow squash the beef with GBP in order for Manny to have more opponents to choose from.

Right now, the prospects for his future fights is a little dim

Pac didnt look great against Bradley last week. He got a solid win, but nothing special . . .

Between 140-147, theres Floyd then a bunch of guys around the same level.

To be honest, i think the best move for Pac would be to let his contract expire and go over to GBP.Theres plenty of big money/little hassle fights for him there even before getting Floyd.

Broner v Pac
Khan v Pac
Garcia v Pac
Maidana v Pac
Matthyse v Pac
Brook/malignaggi/Alexander v Pac?

Cash out against Canelo? Would be huge PPV-wise (1+million no doubt), or Floyd

All them fights are better prospects than what would be on the table at Top Rank and clear up his debt issues.


Forgot about Provodnikov while typing this out That'd be a nice fight

So, I have to say, we aren't allowed to proclaim being a fan of his? How is it repulsive to do so? Especially when it's truth. He's the most accurate puncher according to statistics, the best defensive fighter virtually ever according to statistics. Has only been in a few legitimate scraps where he was in 'trouble'. Consistently fights people that are two weight classes higher than him on fight night. Takes care of his body about as well as a 37 year old person could possibly do. His fights follow a script to where, based on prior fights, we can tell you how the fight is going to go. Floyd opened up on Maidana with -1400 odds, while Marcos has won 18 of his last 19 fights, in the prime of his career and Floyd is 37 while Pacquiao had Brandon fukking Rios at -500 and Rios was coming off of a loss and he was coming up in weight and we are supposed to act like Floyd is like everyone else? He isn't, he's far above them and as a fan, we are going to talk about that. The monetary shyt, I could give two shyts less about but as far as skills, ability, i.e. the entire package, Floyd is going to have to take that L to make us change that tune.

Floyd's my favorite fighter, but I certainly am no stan of his there is a huge difference. If you defend weak shyt like beating up his baby moms and all that other jazz that is the repulsive shyt I'm talking about.
