So I'm the poster version of Manny Pacquaio? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Stevenski would be the poster version of Mike Tyson then..He wants to stomp on your kids testicles just so that you can feel his pain!!hahahaha..So much hate in him..haha..He loves his food though(like Tyson and his pigeons)..

I'd be interested in making a thread to see who everyone would compare them to as a poster to a fighter..Good shit..Someone should make it if they think it's a good idea..

[kingknockout]

If ya try to think logical,logic always will say not to go against Mayweather..hahaha..I've said it before,I've made the mistake of going against him twice because of his attitude and dislike for him..Never again though..He's a master..

LMFAO....im glad you've come to the other side (IMG:style_emoticons/default/friends.gif)




lol people in here are talking about the money aspect of things......while im still laughing at the fact that ol freddie is nervouse about PACMAN fighting Mayweather, lol.....aww man....the hate mayweather get's.......it can't be matched, just like the point outputs he rack up every fight.

Mosely is the only fight i want to see mayweather take. Shane is a bit long in the tooth for my liking, but back when he was at 135 i would have taken him over mayweather any day of the week.

Pacfanatics will find this hard to believe, but you guys should already know that I wouldn't lie to you...

Some inside sources have told me that apparently Freddie Roach doesn't like the idea of Manny fighting Mayweather. He's not so confident that Manny would have as much success against a style like Floyd's so he prefers to push that fight back as much as possible and would rather fight guys like Cotto or Mosley, who are more willing to come right at PacMan. That's part of the reason why he says Mayweather vs. Marquez will be a boring fight...he's basically setting up an excuse to delay the fight.

I can't say that I blame him though. After working with a great counter-puncher like James Toney for so many years, he's fully aware of the difficulties in facing that style. While I'm sure he's confident of Manny, I also think he knows that a fight with Cotto or Mosley might be easier stylistically for his fighter, so he'd rather face them first....hence the reason why they're not going to wait on Mayweather.

Anyway, not that it matters much though since I highly doubt the two sides would come to agreement on the split anyway...just thought it was interesting. That's not to say that the fight won't happen though as HBO could easily throw a ton of money at them that they just couldn't refuse. But still...Freddie Roach is a smart man. Despite what he may say to the rest of the world, he does recognize the task at hand if Manny were to indeed face Mayweather.

Speaking of Mayweather, sources also tell me that Al Haymon played a major role in Floyd's decision to return. Apparently, a lot of the money-making schemes that Floyd thought he would get (movie roles, book deals, video games, concert promotions) just didn't pan out. He was under the impression that he'd become some big concert promoter in the music industry. He was hoping Al Haymon, a major concert promoter in his own right, would bring him into the business by co-promoting events with him. Haymon essentially told Floyd that he didn't need to waste his time co-promoting with him because Floyd brought nothing to the table...basically, he reminded him that he's just a fighter and if he ain't fighting, quite frankly, he didn't have any use for him. Ouch! Damn Al! Help a brotha out!

Speaking of brothas, apparently, Zab Judah vs. Randall Bailey isn't even close to happening. Judah's is trying to pull some strings in hopes of getting a fight with Bailey sanctioned for the title. The problem is that Judah is currently ranked #7 by the IBF. Bailey's no fool. He knows he's sitting in the #1 position and he's not going to jeopardize his chance of getting a crack at the title. I guess I should probably turn that into a blurb and put it out there on the front page. LOL.

We all know what this is leading down to. Manny or Wayweather wins, Thrilla in Manila reminiscent of the Ali and Frasier fight. This will lead into a third fight to determine who is the P4p best fighter in the world. The promoters take the cash laughing all the way to the bank.
You know the usual stuff in boxing.

Great scoop, Hype!
I love to hear about arrogant SOB's getting brought back to reality.
I may actually love Al Haymon now.
It's funny, when Floyd "retired," nobody outside of boxing gave 2 cents about him or his whereabouts.
Now that he's back, he's in AT&T commercials and on ESPN again.

Floyd should win both fights (JMM and Pac), but I'd love to see him lose. That would be awesome. I've been bitter every since he got that gift over Castillo in their first fight. Up to that point he was criticizing the hell out of Bob Arum. Immediately after he got that gift, he started talking about Bob being the greatest promoter in the world.

I have picked Mayweather against every opponent and will pick him against Marquez and Pacquaio. I would also pick him against Cotto and Mosley, I only hate it because he doesn't challenge himself and take fights with Mosley and other welter weights. I just want to see fights happen and prove he wins than him and his fans just say he wins. I'm sure people like Sugar Q and damarvelous probably think if he were to beat Mosley or Cotto, it would be proving me wrong. It actually won't because I think Mayweather is that good and it's why I will pick him, it's just a shame that he doesn't test himself to the fullest.
To be honest, there isn't anyone below 154 and even 160 that I would pick against Mayweather, the only one that I might would be Williams. It's just too bad that Mayweather won't prove people to be wrong or right, he just constantly proves to take the path of least resistance, when he is capable of so much more and can truly be right up there with the very best, except at this rate all he will be is just very good and not great.

I actually agree with you. Mayweather is NOT challenging himself like he could be. Fitz, you have to understand that Im not a Floyd hugger. You compare me to Sugar Q but if you go back and look at the threads you will see that I have not agreed with "everything" he has been saying. The only thing that I have argued about Floyd is that the Marquez fight isn't a bad fight and that Floyd IS a draw whether people like it or not. I never claimed he was the best. Personally, I think Paul Williams beats Floyd and Pacquiao gives him a tough fight. Shit, I think Juan will make Floyd work. Floyd is a great fighter but he can be so much better if he just challenged himself a bit more.

[Douchebag]

LMAO at no body wanting to align themselves with SugarQ.

[JLUVBABY]

The Punisher is actually the only guy I'd consider picking over him too.

i've been saying for a couple of years now that paul williams vs. floyd mayweather jr. is the best fight that can be made in boxing period... their styles will match up very very well... i exspect it to be leonard hearns 1 all over again if it ever happens...

SugarQ says some things that are true but he can go a little too far.

I really don't think so............After what I saw Quintana do to him with half a tank. May handles him easy. People may not want to fight him but the blueprint is out on how to beat him and anybody with with a good boxing brain and stamina can beat PWill at welter.
