Totally agree, as I said I believe the vast majority are on something. Maybe I've got a too simplistic view to this kind of thing but when I look at Mayweather I see someone at 135 who got bullied by Castillo. I then see Castillo at 140 get thrown around like a rag doll by Hatton. Logic says Hatton would be able to bully Mayweather at 147 but it was the opposite, Mayweather was clearly physically stronger and only went to the ropes when he wanted to. Maybe making 135 drained him to much or maybe he had help at 147.
Margarito is slow as molasses though. He is perfect for Manny, a big, slow, lumbering come forward fighter. His face is his first line of defence. Comparing him to Mayweather, probably one of the finest defensive fighters ever is a bit of a reach. Personally I think today, tomorrow or 5 years ago gives the same result, unanimous decision to Mayweather. Styles make fights and Mayweather is a nightmare matchup for Manny with his counter punching and fighting off the back foot. The only way I see Manny winning is with landing a bomb, I don't think he could get a points decision.
Boxing has turned into a joke. I (half-heartedly joked) to my wife before the fight that I could see boxing have Manny lose the fight just to hype up a rematch because they didn’t have any other fighters to promote and it's all about $$$$$$$
Personally I think that's a horrible fight. 2 counterpunchers, no thanks. I don't think Bradley is fast enough or hits hard enough to beat Mayweather. Manny will knock him out in the rematch.
its still legal all conspiracies aside. peds are not. Hgh is not. If its legal it means any boxer can use it.where is the advantage
U missed the point. tech fighters like Mayweather don't have tons of knockouts but they can still dominate.
Dude, I clearly stated that there would be a good chance Mayweather, A TECHNICAL FIGHTER, could beat Manny. So I do get it. You just brush off the fact that Manny is also lightning quick and could also beat Mayweather, no matter how much of a defensive fighter he is.
Try telling my why it's not legal in 49 other states boxing commissions? Mayweather uses it because he has extreme pain in his hands when he fights and by using it, it helps pain thru his entire body. Instead of making an excuse that others can use it to try stopping to think for a minute that other fighters might not have problems with their hands and who in the hell wants a bunch of injections if they're not used to them. There is a reason why it is banned everywhere but one place.... There is absolutley no proof that Manny has done any form of steroids or HGH
My only comparison is the reach disadvantage Manny had. Margarito could have got lucky one time and the fight would be over. He is slow but has plenty of power of a much smaller fighter. He should have worked on his jab for months and he may have looked better after the fight.
If it helps Mayweather not feel when he punches why wouldn't others do the same? And whats the proof that mayweather is using it before a fight?someones word from all ive read.
And what proof is there that Manny is on Roids? He is tested just like every fighter is. The only one who accused him is Mayweather and his camp. Thanks for playing right into that.
I never said it was for sure. You however, are making a comparison, and the only way, which was my point not me playing into your argument, is for him to be injecting before a fight. Otherwise you are basically trying to compare a pain killer to help alleviate his pain, to a drug which can physically enhance manny, build muscle etc.
Arum wont sign rematch without investigation into scoring controversy. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/boxing...-ford-.html;_ylt=AtQffHv52ZrVjSYS5aYUK_w5nYcB which is quite comical because, well, this, also, http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id...rsial-fight-manny-pacquiao-timothy-bradley-jr
All I will say is, Mayweather is in jail for 3 months so Manny needed a fight after Bradley. So Bradley takes his title, rematch was already in the cards and Manny will get his title back in November with Mayweather waiting next year. It's a predictable story.
No way? lol That's what I've been saying all along. Nor is there proof that Manny has ever done any type of enhancement drugs! The fighters all get tested but Mayweather came up with some stupid *** plan to make sure a fight between them would never happen and if it did, it would be all to the advantage of MAYWEATHER! Money wise, testing wise, and it would only happen in VEGAS, where he only fights for whatever the reasons. hmmm
Yes, it is predictable except they could have had Manny fight someone who actually could have beaten him to make it more believable... Bradley is not a very good fighter. He comes in dead ahead full, grabs one arm, and swings wildly on the inside. Head butts happen alot between southpaws and right handers but the way Bradley leads with his head, which not a lot of fighters do, it is obvious, he likes to have an occassional head butt happen because he does not cut easily.
Well all I saw was Mr. Bradley in a wheel chair leaving in an ambulance and Pacquiao leaving in a stretch truck limo. So something hit Bradley or maybe he just needs to do more foot work drills
http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/i...ny-pacquiao-fight-unanimously-scores-pacquiao The WBO completed its review Wednesday of Timothy Bradley's controversial split-decision victory against Manny Pacquiao with its five-member international judging panel all scoring the fight for Pacquiao, even though the official result will stand. The five judges, whom Valcarcel said are accomplished judges with world title experience -- but whose names were not disclosed -- scored the fight for Pacquiao, 118-110, 117-111, 117-111, 116-112 and 115-113.
I rewatched the fight a couple of times, and although it was closer then I originally thought, not scoring wise, bradley just didn't get as dominated, I still scored the fight for pacman.
