Floyd news - Page 5 Empty Mayweather After Dark

Post by D4thincarnation Thu 12 May 2011, 11:23 pm

First topic message reminder :

We have just had a Manny Pacquiao fight so as customory we have another Mayweather videos now.

Comes in 3 parts, about him taking a trip to his mamas house.

http://fighthype.com/pages/content9899.html

http://www.fighthype.com/pages/content9907.html

http://fighthype.com/pages/content9911.html?PHPSESSID=0d4bbac3df324046feb3fa4c71d30579

Following Pacquiao's statement that he and Khan would never fight because they are good friends, Maywweather has offered a olive branch to Pacquiao saying he has nothing against Pacquiao and it Bob Arum is the problem.

Any take a view if you are interested and see what you think

Find D4 saying "dont believe everything you read" and labelling other comments as "crazy talk" beyond amusingly horrifically ironic.

Of course, it'll be a cold day in Hell before he can man up and admit he's wrong.

I said modern. According to you the black and white TV boys are prehistoric, so Lewis would be middle ages. ( I believe that chickens had skin and feathers, by then. ) I'm referring to those modern, super - fit beneficiaries of brown rice and bananas, Solis, Arreola, Peter, etc.

Lewis et al are modern windy. Haye and Klits are HD (not a sexual transmitted desease btw) generation.

Modern diets also include eating egg whites and yolks seperately. They possess free radicals (that's not a 1960s student protest group) which is good for the skin and makes you less succeptible to cutting. Not eggs benedict, egg not or advocaat.

Nice work Windy, why D4 tries to talk about anything other than Manny and Floyd is beyond me, even at his specialist subject he aint got a clue let alone anything else.

BALTI, Ghosty.

I shouldn't say so, since I strive for neutrality when possible, but I thoroughly enjoyed finding those statistics. I'm opening a ' book ' on the subject of whether or not D4 will admit he has been proven wrong, since he logged out and scuttled off to ' Manny World ' about five minutes after I produced them, last night. What odds should I quote ?

az,

Dempsey used to soak his face in brine or vinegar to toughen his skin, though I must say that your ' free radicals ' have a certain appeal. How many albums did they release ?

Windy - you've got more chance of knocking a passing Lord Lucan off of Shergar when you back out of your drive this morning than you have of getting an apology or admittance of being wrong from D4. Ive lost count of the times (when I used to bother to engage him) that I've owned his fabricating, contradicting, goal-post moving backside, only to see him disappear quicker than a priest in a brothel raid. Upon re-appearing he acts as if said owning never happened and carries on regardless. Attempting to draw his attention to it is pointless too, he will simply refuse to acknowledge anyone or anything that disproved his zealot theories to the point of total and utter denial. It's that kind of one-way-street 'debating' that has earned him his rep and that has created you and the admins so many teething problems on here.

Nice work though:)

Sugar Boy, BALTI

Where I am the sky is grey and it's tippling down. Thoroughly miserable, and your last couple of posts have served as the perfect antidote. Still giggling like a schoolgirl as I write this.

Great stuff.

It begins on the previous page of this thread, coxy, and concerns D4's legendary ' statistics, ' which, of course, would be translated into English as any one out of ' lies,' ' distortions,' or ' fabrications.'

I know I may have missed the boat slightly with this, but yesterday there was a debate about sprint timings. I think you all missed that Jeffries claim related to 100 Yards, while D4'd world record time was over 100 metres. Not sure if this was a typo on D4's part, but it would explain the discrepancy.

Amir Khan is targeting Floyd Mayweather and wants to fight him in 2012.

Khan has said he has more speed the harder punch and the better trainer than Floyd and believes he has the tools to beat him.

Jordan's piggy

Jordan's birdy

Jordan's ulcer

I think it may be Jordan's pusshy but that's impossible as the echo that would eminate would render his voice undecipherable

Floyd news - Page 5 Empty Floyd Mayweather removed from P4P rankings

Post by Daz Wed 25 May 2011, 10:44 am

From the Telegraph:

Floyd Mayweather removal from The Ring magazine’s pound for pound rankings after being inactive for more than 12 months could be seen as sign of the legacy of Manny Pacquiao being advanced across this era. While Pacquiao advances his case every six months, Mayweather appears to be resting on his laurels. Unfortunately, they have just been removed.

Mayweather’s last fight was against Shane Mosley on May 1, 2010. He was reported to have earned in the region of $43 million for that fight.

Money aside – and of course the green goddess cannot be discounted as the major reason for professional boxers to ply their trade – Mayweather should heed it as a wake-up call as his legacy is slipping away from him. It is being usurped by Manny Pacquiao, who is growing as a crossover star, while his burgeoning political career in The Philippines continues to expand. He really is Pacquiao the portfolio man.

Mayweather, undefeated with 41 wins, had been in The Ring magazine’s ratings for 84 weeks since his unanimous 12-round decision over Mexico’s Juan Manuel Marquez in 2009. Since the Mosley fight, it has been mooted that Mayweather and Pacquiao may meet in the middle of a ring, only for one or other reason to obfuscate clear thinking.

Pacquiao, who fights Mosley for the WBO welterweight title here in Las Vegas on Saturday night, is widely regarded as the world’s current No 1 in the rankings. Indeed, in this observer’s books, Pacquiao did that some time ago, though Mayweather’s victory over Mosley – or rather the manner of it – made a good case for the Las Vegas based fighter to be raised above the Filipino.

Why wait a year to call them inactive ? Few sports would accept such a long time. If injury free, why not make it six months ?

Ring Magazine’s editor-in-chief Nigel Collins said Mayweather’s exclusion from the rankings was not related to the boxer’s ability. “The removal of Floyd Mayweather, who has not fought since May 1, 2010, and has no bout currently scheduled, is not a reflection of Mayweather’s ability,” Collins said this week.

“To keep him ranked at the expense of active fighters is unfair, especially as we have no idea if or when Mayweather will fight again,” Collins said.

Collins attitude is to be applauded, but he has also said that Mayweather’s status in the magazine’s rankings will be reviewed if he fights again.

It has been suggested this week by Roger Mayweather, the fighter’s uncle, that he will come back later this year, at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. Let’s hope so.

The longer Mayweather leaves it, the more likely that this era will be remembered for the feats of the Filipino fighter, as Mayweather’s lustre lessened. The ranking removal should be seen as a wake-up call for Floyd.

I think all fighters inactive for 12 months and beyond should be omitted from rankings.

Only right and proper that he should be removed for the time being in my opinion, Daz.

I'll leave this up for five minutes or so, in order that everybody will know where it is, and then I'll merge it into the ' Floyd news ' thread.

Oops - forgot about that Floyd thread! Doh

Mind you if I made $40 million plus, I would only fight once a year!

It's not a problem, Daz. I'll merge it now.

Seems reasonable to me, if a guy ain't injured there has to be a cut off point and a year makes sense. Truth is if you don't draw a line somewhere could get stupid. Naz never announced his formal retirment. Not sure you could really justify having him in the featherweight rankings anymore, much as I'd like to.

Haha! Me too Jeff! I think a year is a good cut off point. Hopefully, like the article says - this will put some fire in his belly to prove himself again.

Unfortunately i dont think it will. Sad
