Ten Conclusions from Mayweather - Manny !!

by TRUSSMAN66 Sun 03 May 2015, 5:57 pm

First topic message reminder :

1. All the posters who hate Mayweather had the fight close or thought Manny won.....

2. If you couldn't give Manny the victory and you're a fan then it was a stinker......

3. Mayweather has just outboxed the 3rd best fighter on the planet........

4. The Filipino needs to get back onto the shakes.......

5. Shoulder injury shows him to be the classless guy I always thought he was deep down....

6. Mayweather isn't going to get credit off certain individuals no matter what he does........

7. If 606v2 radio had Manny 116-112......I'll never moan about Watt and Halling again...

8. It didn't live up to the hype.............Very few fights ever do..

9. Roach isn't the genius he thinks he is !!

10. If Floyd isn't Top 10 in most lists he must be very close !!.

Well he is nearly in bother for listening to his bosses. He should just stick with Roach and get rid of Arum and Koncz.

by kingraf Wed 06 May 2015, 10:50 am

I do agree that Manny should be more proactive about HIS career. Even his tax problems are largely (although probably not exclusively) a problem arisen from leaving his money matters to Top Rank, and taking them at their word when they said he does not have to double tax

by milkyboy Wed 06 May 2015, 10:51 am

You'd think, 'it was just a minor niggle in camp, managed with pain killers, but badly aggravated during the fight... I felt it go in the fourth when I launched my attack blah, blah' would have ticked the 'get of jail free' box and the 'excuse for bad performance' box.

I think they've mismanaged it as much after as they have by ticking the wrong boxes before.

Easier said than done, considering he has made a staggering amount of money and is a PPV star in a foreign country. I'd like to see them both retire and let boxing and its fans enjoy the sport, they've dragged this soap opera on for 6 years now and put in a dismal spectacle.

Only Mayweather fight I want to see is Cotto. He wont fight GGG, so that's the fight I want to see.

by Hammersmith harrier Wed 06 May 2015, 11:04 am

I'd rather see something new than a repeat of a fight that will play out no differently but be a cynical exercise in winning another world title.

by kingraf Wed 06 May 2015, 11:06 am

He'll just beat Cotto again. Only Mayweather fight I ever really wanted to see was Martinez, back when Sergio was still able to make 154. Would have been interesting to see how Floyd would disarm a guy who would spend the entire fight at range pot shotting. Fair play to him, though. Despite the fact that none of his post-2009 fights have interested me in the least, the only one I did not get up for in the vain hope that he would lose, or at least be challenged was Guerrero. PR machine of note (helps I have never paid for a Mayweather fight though, might have been a different story if he was on PPV here.)

by Rodney Wed 06 May 2015, 11:09 am

Retirement would be preference but if not Andrade, Lara or GGG.

No interest in the Khan fight as I expect him to deal with Khan far too easily, my money is a Danny Garcia showdown.

Cheers, Rodders

by TRUSSMAN66 Wed 06 May 2015, 11:11 am

Certainly been a big comedown after this fight.........Like coming back from your honeymoon and seeing your Mrs change from a rock star groupie to the kid from The Exorcist..

Shame really as there is any really other superfights about....

Certainly the aftermath is looking more like Wlad - Haye everyday..

Mayweather v Manny 2 certainly won't be a superfight........

by milkyboy Wed 06 May 2015, 11:15 am

Garcia I definitely wouldn't watch.

Khan I definitely would. If only to see if my ongoing protestations to people over the years that khan would stylistically give floyd some real problems were, after all, just the insane ramblings of an old man as everyone else believed.

by mobilemaster8 Wed 06 May 2015, 11:17 am

Thinking the same Truss. Shame really because Mayweather put on a boxing clinic which most hardcore fans knew he would do....

But since the Pacman has said he won the fight (very strange considering he threw less and landed less)....

Said he was injured (yet last week he was knocking ten bells out of a heavy bag)

The scorecards were fixed....

Bayliss screwed him......

He ran all fight which is why I couldn't throw and land (well yeh because it's boxing and your not fighting Rios who will literally stand open armed with you)

It's annoying really, I have rarely seen a plethora of excuses as long and drawn out as these since Haye lost....and he only blamed his toe....which was farcical...but only one excuse not 600.

Pacman got beat comprehensively end of story and because it was that one sided and easy he is making loads of BS up....which has lowered him in my eyes. One of my all time favourite fighters....is slowly disappearing out of my list.....needs to accept defeat and get back in the ring.

by Guest Wed 06 May 2015, 11:21 am

All we need is for Khan to drop the ball against Algieri on 29th and Kell Brook gets the call. Mayweather agrees to fight at Wembley with off the charts PPV buys, Eddie grins like Hugh Hefner just signed his mansion over to him and STRONGY dies.

BOOOOOOM!!!!!

You do realize that he cant actually do that? There is the small matter of a shoulder op. He needs to retire. Nothing left to prove

Realistically though, someone on his team then needs to sit him down and say, look Manny that was your best chance. You cannot come back from a year out and expect to beat him. Maybe you were injured... but that night was still the best chance realistically possible.

At which point one of his many hanger ons probably remember that the mortgage is due, and they have no actual real world skills.

Why?

Why is the only fight you're interested in seeing Floyd in, a non-competitive one against a guy he's already beaten and both then and now will be at a weight away from that fighter's prime?

The only possible reason is if it allows Floyd to pick up a meaningless 160 trinket (which he will never defend).

by AdamT Wed 06 May 2015, 1:23 pm

How is it non competitve?

Tell me what is a competitve fight then?

Conclusion 11.

AdamT only ever talks about Floyd Mayweather.

by AdamT Wed 06 May 2015, 1:32 pm

funny I was on another thread talking about fights I would like to see never mentioned Floyd.

Guess I dropped the ball there hammer.

How is it COMPETITIVE??!!

Scores last time, whilst too wide IMO, were totally comprehensive handing Floyd almost all the rounds. What's changed? Cotto hasn't got any better and Floyd won't fight him at 160 (hell, even Cotto doesn't seem keen on fighting at full 160) so where is the competitivity??!

Pure fanboy-madness.

Not really any interesting fights out there for Floyd, just fillers (like most of the last 5 or so years of his career).

GGG is the obvious one at 160 (and has previoulsy mooted 154 though, funnily enough, no interest from Floyd) then at 154 I suppose you've got Lara which would be vaguely interesting (talented boxer who Floyd doesn't have reach advantages over for once).

At 147 you've Thurman and a proper JMM, though I think Floyd would eat both alive still.

You say that Toppy as if Mayweather should have an interest in facing Golovkin when lets be honest he's gone as far through the weights as we can expect him to.

The question wasn't whether Floyd should have an interest in fighting someone, just what fight is there out there that could happen and would be competitive.

I have nothing against him not going to 160. Unless of course he takes the p!ss like he did with 154, i.e. quite happy to dip his toe on his terms but never truly 'belong' to that division (i.e. Cotto at 160 is a joke fight, but I'd not hold it against Floyd if he never went to 160 [for GGG or anyone else]).

by TRUSSMAN66 Wed 06 May 2015, 2:30 pm

Certainly don't want GGG being forced to come in a pound or two under the 160 limit like Alvarez at 154..........

Changed the whole outcome of the fight and an Alvarez masterclass...

When did this happen? Surely someone would have said something before now. You wouldn't let something like that pass by without wanting people to know. That's what I dislike most* about Foch, constantly hiding his light under a bushel.

Neither would I but only if he shut the f*ck up about being better than Robinson. For him to be considered better than Robinson he'd need to face Golovkin in the way Robinson faced Maxim. Don't actually give a sh!t if he wins or loses but Robinson at least moved out of his comfort zone. Also sick to the back f*cking teeth of this 49-0 sh!t. Chavez went nearly 100 fights before he was beaten...people in the press seem to think Marciano's record is the definitive one. Put it in context, at one stage, Brian Nielsen was also 48-0.
