Hey everyone I've been following this site for around a year or 2 and I finally decided to make an account. Ive made a few post but i thought i should introduce myself/ give my views on the recent boxing world.

Pac vs JMM III - I thought it was a close fight first time watching it I felt it could have gone either way but that Marquez won by a 115-113 fight. Second time i watched it I felt it was a clear win by JMM

Margarito vs Cotto - I am picking Margarito to win the same way he won the first fight. I feel that the whole hand wrap incident has been completely blown out of proportion. He got caught TRYING to use hand wraps in a fight. But NEVER caught using them in a fight. Innocent Until Proven Guilty

Ortiz vs Berto II - I am picking Ortiz to win by Knockout . Both Fighters have good Motivations going into this Bout. Berto wants to avange his first loss and prove that he is better then Ortiz. Yet Ortiz is trying to bounce back from the loss to Mayweather and is looking to prove that he can still compete against the best.

Mayweather - I hate him as a person but i respect hes skills in the ring. the whole Ortiz fight was Bull.

Martinez - I think he is 3rd best P4P fighter at the moment. The fight with Barker i think made he look bad because of how highly people hold him because of his recent outings.

Favorite Fighters : ( in no order)
Manny Pacquiao
Sergio Martinez
Victor Ortiz
Bernard Hopkins
Gary Russell Jnr
Jorge Arce
Daniel Ponce de Leon
Juan Manuel Marquez
Erik Morales

Welcome and that's a cool list of fighters you got there..
But I dont understand how one could judge Floyd's character unless they know him personally..

Boxers are kind of like actors in a sense that they have to play a part. It sells tickets and it's just good for business. Bad publicity, good publicity, any kind of publicity is good for actors and athletes.. It gets people to talk about them and that's why Floyd is the PPV cash king of today..

why is that ?

Welcome Marvelous. It's a great board. Enjoy.

Finito - one thing I don't like about Floyd is that he is always bringing up race. He consistently calls Emmanuel Stewart an Uncle Tom. He called Pacquiao a yellow something and referred to him as Chinese. He only ever praises african american fighters. It's hard for me to like a guy that is as racial as he is. It wouldn't matter if he were caucasian american, philipino american or armenian american. It's just not me. Even if we assume what you're suggesting is correct that he does this all for publicity, then he is irresponsible and sending the wrong message to the public, and I can't like him for doing that.

With all that said, don't get me wrong, he's a phenomenal boxer. One of the best of this era. Maybe the best of this era.

You don't need to know someone personally to realize that they're an asshole. Floyd is one even if he doesn't have a fight, therefore there is no tickets to sell.

You can give your post count to me, start all over again and come back as Master Bait. Oh wait, that doesn't sound right.

Neutral, even nice guys can have an asshole side.. Floyd may be an ass but that doesn't define his character. If you dont know the guy personally, u can't judge him.. If Floyd didnt play his villain role so well, people wouldnt be paying as much to watch him lose..

The asshole is about to punk and dominate your hero.. watcha gotta say about that??

At least Floyd isn't a fake nice guy like Pacman who have kids out of wetlock with all kinds of gambling issues.

Anyway, welcome again new guy..

Yea man.. Burning money in today's economy was a slap in people's face.. asshole move..

But we dont really know about his broad issue and all...

I think alot of it has to do with his upbrining. Daddy wasn't home and grandma had to raise him so i bet Granny pretty much let him have his way.. U know how that is..

I mean look at his ex crack addict uncle and father.. Lookin at them, it would hard to imagine Floyd being any different.

If Floyd didnt play his villain role so well, people wouldnt be paying as much to watch him lose.. I agree with your first statement. The problem with Floyd is that almost everything he shows is an asshole side. He should not be acting like an ass if he wants his character to be defined favorably. Dela Hoya didn't become a cash cow by being an asshole.

The asshole is about to punk and dominate your hero.. watcha gotta say about that?? Bring it on. It isn't over until it's over.

At least Floyd isn't a fake nice guy like Pacman who have kids out of wetlock with all kinds of gambling issues. You mean what Floyd is showing on the outside is also what is on his inside? So you do acknowledge that he's an asshole.
