Floyd dropped?

Rumours circulating that Zab Judah dropped Floyd in sparring. Personally I doubt this very much but what are your views on the likelihood this actually happened?

Don't believe it - especially when the report looks suspiciously similar to the one that was released when he was going to fight Canelo (same body shot etc.).

How many times do we hear about stuff like this though, generate's publicity and gives an air of possibility for the knockout.

put it in the trash unless there's proof.

Unlikely. Stories like this always come out prior to big fights (probably fabricated by the fighters themselves) to either build interest or to mess with their opponents mind.

KNOCKED OUT

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/floyd-mayweather-knocked-out-sparring-5397674

Great journalism. Repeat a rumour, quote the important party 'that's not true, it never happened, stop it', but put KNOCKED OUT in capitals.

Well he got dropped in their fight years ago but I doibt Zab has it in him now to do it

Wow, this completely factually based rumour has now swayed me to the conclusion that Pacman is going to knock Floyd out inside 3.

Ermm...

Probably just a bit of hyperbole. Remember 24/7 when Hatton "dropped" a sparring partner before the Pacquiao fight - low and behold the camera wasn't on him sparring when it happened. One of the most god awful acting displays one has witnessed.

37 days to go now. The crazed hypemill hasn't come out of first gear yet... Kinda miss the old 606 days when you'd get the oikballers coming on to the forum and the likes of Windy treating them with utter contempt.

Would bet every penny to my name that this is complete horsesh!t.

Classic big-fight build-up BS.

Floyd's and Zab's moronic mates always have phones in their hands filming the willy waving going on in there, find it hard to believe that someone wouldn't have been filming it if it had really happened. Imagine what the footage would sell for.

As a story it's about as relevant as Floyd knocking out the Big Show.

I treat you with utter contempt if it helps

Don't know how true this is. What I do know, though is that Kevin Lerena, a local cruiserweight went to Vegas to train at the Mayweather Gym and he swears Gospel that Floyd looked mesmerising. He's a bit of a fanboy though, so Floyd getting dropped would probably look like a strategic breather to him. Still he's the only "source" I know for a fact saw Floyd spar recently, and he thinks Floyd look imperious

Well if he swears GOSPEL that's good enough for me.

Most pointless bit of fight news is that Manny spends $1800 on some cream for cramps in his legs due to the size of his calves. As a result Freddie says Manny can't run up hills in training. I'm certain now that, having read that, Floyd will go hell for leather from the off knowing that Manny doesn't have the stamina to go 12 hard rounds but hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Manny pulls the old switcheroo and flattens Mayweather a la Hatton and we all feel duped.

Not sure I can cope with another five weeks of this w@nk

Good god man, someone pi$$ on your cornflakes this morning?

I understand you won't be watching it. Can I ask precisely why? As a boxing fan this is the biggest fight of our generation, yes they "should" have fought blah blah blah - but they're still the #1 and #2 fighters in the world.... unless I'm missing something (I don't count Wlad as the Ring's #2 as he's beaten absolute diddly squat)???

Don't have SKY? Don't know anyone who does or is prepared to get it on my behalf or that I like enough to spend the night at their house if they did or who likes me enough to let me stay at their house. Also got two kids and I'm f*cked if I'm staying up late to get an hour's kip (AT BEST).

No doubt there'll be someone somewhere showing it at a more reasonable time and I'll catch it then. It's a bit like hearing that the world's fittest women is getting her t*ts out. Yes, I'd like to have a look but I'm not queuing up or breaking my, admittedly dull, routine for it.

Buy an alarm clock?

Also, just get a mates Sky Go account details and watch it on your iPad or other generic tablet device.

Wake up at 4am, be back asleep by 6am latest.

Don't thank me, I'm just a giver.

That answers that question

I see what Dave is saying. I'm interested in the fight, really looking forward to it and I won't begrudge anyone's excitement but the build up and hyperbole doesn't interest me at all. It's been 6 years coming, is anything new going to happen between now and May 2? Bogus sparring stories will be the tip of the iceberg.

Cheers Dipper...can I come round to your house to watch it?

Course you can, mate. It's 1 Cardiff street, Cardiff, Wales. Ask for Dipper.

Brilliant...however, I'm not coming if STEFFAN isn't there. I miss him.

I did that happiness test on the BBC yesterday which accurately indicated where you'd be best suited to living based on answering 10 questions. Turns out I should be living in SOUTH WALES....think it's because there's not a lot there and I generally can't stand people. There was also a cave in Afghanistan that would have suited me nicely...one previous owner.

I remember Floyd Sr. sticking Hatton in with Erislandy Lara and getting Ricky's ass kicked. Shocking idea.

Lara would have kicked Hatton's ass all the way through his career. Word on the vine was that Lara softened Hatton up goodo

He did. He beat the stuffing out of him. Just what you need when you're going in with a Pacquiao at the height of his Ariza-led powers.

Mayweayher is saying little, I bet he is really focus.

Some sh..e coming out of Roaches mouth every day. In my opinion he is extremely nervous. Floyd Sr and Roger have trash talked but not near the same level as Roach.

I really do think Floyd is going to stop Manny. Even though Floyd hasn't the most powerful dig,I think he has enough power to crack Manny chin. After the type of knockout he has suffered, his chin will never be the same.

There is a reason that Pacquiao has been fed blown up light weights or light punchers since his devastating knockout.

I'm going for a stoppage in the 8th.
