Mike Tyson Got Some Fucking Nerve
- Thread starter MulaPowaRespect
- Start date
Yes and no...pressure fighters always get older faster...so yes, Manny is not as explosive and he does seem to have lost his killer instinct...not being able to KO Algieri was a telltale sign...however, Roach said that everything came back together for this one fight...that the motivation was back...one would at have at least assumed a sustained Maidana level of effort for about 3 rounds....from round 1, Manny fell right in line with the Mayweather fight plan...this points to a failure on the part of Freddie Roach
I'm a floyd fan and have appreciated his fights in the past but last night's shit was boring...if that were a video game floyd would be guilty of "cheesing" ie getting the win but doing it using the same cheap moves repeatedly...he got the win tho and that was his objective
can't believe your broke ass is still concerned about what ppl paid for a day later lol
this thread Grand Opening - Grand Closing
Mayweather fans try to justify his "boxing" style as if they prefer Olympic boxing to prize fighting.... only way I ever watch a Mayweather fight is if his baby moms in the ring
If he keeps doing the same thing it was up to Manny to do something about it and he didn't. I will run that play on a video game to death, Fuck that.
I totally agree from his perspective
and don't people keep paying for Mayweather fights?
that's what getting off the juice will do to you
The fight brought them a multi million dollar purse, of course Roach is going to say the old Manny is back.
Both of those dudes are old. Floyd has a style that can last as an old fighter. This fight should have happened years ago. PPV has killed the sport of boxing but has helped the boxers
Nobody is trying to justify anything though. Just stating facts....Floyd fought the right he wanted to fight and Manny wasn't good or smart enough to make him fight the fight HE wanted to fight. Peyton Manning is not a running QB... Does he get hate for going into games and not running?
The object a pro boxing match is to win...whether its by hitting the other guy more than he hits you or by knocking him into next week. The object of life is to get hit in the head as little as possible. Floyd accomplishes all of that. Makes him a boring fighter but a great boxer. Just the way it is and has always been.
...and I don't even like Floyd.

fight was everything i expected. casual fans came in jumping on the wagon watching the fight cause they couldn't be the only ones not watching it
this was a boxing technician who has great defense and counter punches who controlled the fight. manny the brawler punches in bunches was completely whipped physically and mentally
i enjoyed the fight very much. there's a time and a place for everything. standing in the middle of the ring letting someone who has average footwork t off on your right in the face for the sake of making random people "happy" while your undefeated legacy fight is on the line would NOT be the right time or place to do that shit.
beat his ass easily..like the judges had it and then tell everyone who told you that you would lose and that you're scared of him to eat their words while making sure you let them know you made 100 million dollars while crushing their dreams and much more to come.

If Peyton NEVER went deep then yeah he would get so much hate.
EXACTLY! How is it Floyd's fault if Pac couldn't touch him? Floyd had a better plan and executed it while Pax came in with a flawed plan and couldn't make the adjustments needed.
You're projecting. Having a negative opinion doesn't make me "mad."
And I didn't pay for that bullshit, either.
The one where Holyfield headbutted continuously and it was never called.
Regardless, the point was that it was entertaining. You're yet another who fails tho understand a distinction between entertaining and worthiness/skillfulness/etc.
He's had some very high grossing fights but the aren't consistently approached with the same enthusiasm.
Every Tyson fight was an event until he was totally washed up.
I was telling some fools that on facebook earlier, that they must have never seen Ali fight before he went to prison, he used his legs way more than Floyd ever did.
I Agree,
Boxers "Stick and Move!"
Brawlers "Stick and Stay" with the chance of receiving a devastating counter punch.
I am not a Floyd fan, but these numbers do not lie. Floyd made Pac look old and slow. Or maybe it was all those tests for steroids Pac had to take.
Pac & Freddie Roach made zero adjustments to their original fight plan,
and when he did manage to let loose with punches on Floyd, they had little effect. How did they ezpect to win by throwing and landing fewer punches than Floyd?
Great fighters don't dodge & cherry pick their opponents. Great fighters fight all top ranked challengers.
Well said!!
And to say that Floyd's fight's are boring does NOT take away from how great he is, defense IS boring all across the board in EVERY sport, a 10-7 defensive game between the Steelers & Ravens will always be considered "boring" compared to a 52-48 game between the Cowboys & Eagles, that's just the way it is!

I'm just gone leave this right here
ok - so who hasn't Floyd fought?
To my knowledge, he has defeated every contender in his different weight classes
great fighters fight who is thereand beat them.
Pac fought many of the same fighters Floyd did and fought them after Floyd beat them.
Larry Holmes was also a victim of the times when there weren't many great heavyweights
But don't get it twsited with the exception of Frazier Norton and Foreman who did Ali fight some bums and washed up fighters
You fight who is there and who you can make money fighting....
Shit Floyd had to leave Top Rank to get a shot at DeLaHoya
Night and day.
So for all you cats proclaiming Tyson as being great , who the hell did he fight ?
Sure Mike was a devastating puncher but who were his great opponents ?
Mike Spinks who was an undersized light heavyweight
Evander Holyfield was a blown up cruiserweight and he bust Tyson ass in both fights
Buster Douglas ? a fukkn journeyman
Mitch Green ?
y'all talking bout who Floyd fought but there was sure better competition in the welterweight division.
Razor Ruddick
Who did Tyson fight that will be in the Hall of Fame ?
Trevor Berbick?
Tyson walked into the ring over and over against mofokrs that were afraid of him.
So he was exciting because he knocked out cats that had no business in the ring.

not after this
Those dudes sucked because Mike was so powerful, he never gave em a chance. Thats how GREAT he was. Fuck Maywhether and his ducking and jivin ass. SHit lame.
Those dudes sucked because they sucked and Mike fought in a weak ass heavyweight era
He fought two cats that wasn't afraid of him and he lost to both of them.
His greatest battle wasn't even against a heavyweight.
point is Mike fought who was there and mostly dominated
Floyd fought who was there and he is 48-0
And before each fight cats talking shit about how he will get that work and then after the fight cats acting like bitches making excuses.
Now all of a sudden Manny is old even though he two years younger.
Tell em how you really feel
Let that shit out.
notice he didn't list Mike great comp though..
salty ass mofokr ..at least Manny has a country supporting him...Money can't even get the support of his fellow black men
