Comments Thread For: 50 Cent on Fighting Mayweather: He Won't Kick My Ass! - Page 3 - Boxing Forum

a og cuban boxer who lives in mexico city and worked with Jose soliman... he dont post much but had some good stories... found some on floyd.

As god is my witness I have personally seen Floyd spar a professional Cruiserweight who was talking a lot and Floyd got the better of him,
Curtis will get his ass kicked

It was about 11 years ago at Top Rank gym in Las Vegas, this boxer came in to spar Kelly Pavlik but the boxer was late and Kelly had already finished his work in the ring and Floyd was there watching his boxer spar I think Floyd just got back from playing basketball but he was not there to work out.

So this Crusier weight started talking loud how he wanted to get and the ring and do this and that so Floyd told his groupie to go to his car and get his gear, his groupie came back Floyd geared up got in the ring and proceeded to walk his man down.

Let me define my definition of "walked him down" he stayed in his chest taking small steps forward rolling the hooks from the Cruiserweight and negating the other mans reach advantage not allowing the other man to use his jab
And throwing fast accurate shots in return that the other man could not stop

I don't care who believes me or not I was just relaying something that I have seen that is all, and it is good that you know what Floyd does in the gym anyone in the game knows you do not always spar the way you fight a professional fight, and at the time Floyd's style was exactly that to walk his man down and as for the other guys name I could not tell, I don't take names at the door.


Why do people think NFL players should be American Heavyweights ? - Page 7 - Boxing Forum



It is true, i was in Top Rank the day after it happened and there were blood stains all over the floor and i asked Richie Sandoval (who Bob Arum gave a job for life working at the Top Rank gym) what happened and he told me 4 or 5 guys with guns came into the gym while Floyd was doing a late night work out and pistol whipped Ellerbe and that loud mouth Tomas who was originally part of Hasim Rahmans camp. and no Prince did not knock out Floyd he was not even there and the guys with the guns did not touch anyone else. and for a year after that they always kept the doors to the gym locked, you had to ring the door bell to be let in

There is really no story to tell except a long time ago when Floyd jr first dropped Floyd sr as a trainer i was working out at Top Rank gym and Rodger was there every day also and whenever Floyd sr came in Rodger would always get really quite and go to the other side of the gym, the first time i saw it i was shocked to how submissive Rodger would get because it is the total opposite of what he is. They have been brothers a long time and they obviously both know who wins that fight


ive read some stories of him sparring in ikes, tuas and wlads camp.

he siad that u cant escape wlads jab and if u sleep on his right u were going to sleep.

that tua just had a decent left hook, he seen better... if u had a good not great chin u will be right there with him all night.

that ike would do strange things.


yea i know who that dude is, he is 100 percent legit with all the shyt he says, john scully verified alot of what he was talking about.

How many top 10 fighters has Loma faced since winning that belt??

0.

If he was a PBC fighter, just like the tweet says, he would be getting killed.

I actually meant to bring that up earlier today. Loma is fighting weak opps over & over. It's BEEN time for him to defend the belt against a real opponent.

Huge potential to be FOTY.

Bradley gets the edge in this one but it all depends on how he fights and how Rios fights. I think Rios can surprise Tim if he uses his underrated/under-utilized boxing ability. If he just looks to brawl or get Tim outta there, Tim will do him just like JMM but worse. Either case, this is a really good fight where anything can happen.

I don't think Brandon or rather his corner will fall for the same thing Marquez did i.e. believing that he was going to go toe to toe with him. That cat is out of the bag.

Mayweather announcing his retirement to duck Khan, hoping Pacman does the job for him :leon:

Really wanted to see that Floyd/Khan though.


Also, you have to say despite all talks of conflict of interest today is really the day The Ring lost some of its credibility, then again p4p is absolutely worthless. But still a sad show of bias. Kell fukkin Brook ay

If khan beat pac in jan/fen then the set up would be perfect for mayday 50th fight
