One Last Floyd v Gregory Thread

[GaMo]

Floyd is usually defensive and he's always safety first
But against Conor he just did not give a FUCK!
He showed Conor no respect and just walked in on him.
He found out McGregor's power was a myth
And then just walked him down with a smile.

Or Floyd was cautious for 2 rounds for no justifiable reason and then took another 8 long rounds to beat someone who has never boxed professionally before in his life.

He was coming off a long lay off and he is 40 years old
Plus he had no footage of Conor as a Boxer to study in preparation
So he didn't know what Conor was going to do in there.
He took his time and felt him out which was smart
No need to rush when he's got 12 rounds to do the job.

Or an man of Floyd's vast experience should have worked out that Conor had nothing and should have stepped it up earlier and stopped the cage fighter who looked embarrassingly amateurish.

That's not his style though
Why change a style that's worked for the past 49 fights?
Conor was 12 years younger and naturally a lot larger.

If Conor fought somebody his own size and age (Canelo)
He'd have got knocked out early but he picked a 40 year old

Floyd picked Conor and they set this "sting" up a year ago.

I think Conor called out Floyd whilst Mayweather was retired
Floyd saw an opportunity to make easy money and took it.

Floyd was always going to come out of "retirement" for the 50th fight and it should have been against a real boxer. In fact that should not even count as 50. That was a glorified sparring match.

I didn't think it was all that bad and if I had to choose
I'd rather watch that again over the Pacquiao fight.
Floyd got to go to 50-0, make a ton of money
And he did it without taking a risk! That's just good business.
I don't mind if the MMA and Irish fans want to add to his retirement fund.

The Manny Pac fight was a stinker and the $100 to watch it was a kick in the balls.

[Ron Swanson]

Only because Master was silly enough to believe Pac could win. Those of us that knew what would happen saw the counter right in the first and said, it's over, Pac will slow down now.

[X]

If somebody offered me hundreds of millions of pounds to come out of retirement (where I'd been keeping fit anyway) to fight somebody who couldn't hurt me, couldn't make me look bad, had absolutely zero chance of winning and who could do most of the talking and hyping of the 'fight' .... I'd take it.

I knew Manny would never win especially after he got knocked out so cleanly by JMM. 5 years too late was my issue.

[palmerq]

I only watched the highlights but I was surprised how little power macgregor could get on his shots, even the uppercut he landed early on where was in a great position to hurt floyd it just made mayweather blink a bit :S, I don't think macgregor has much of a chance in pro boxing unless he takes on much smaller guys or guys who are totally finished(aka mallignaggi:S)...

Who cares about this event anyway, if you find this stuff fun(the pre fight nonsense) fun then you certainly got your moneys worth, although I don't think mayweather has ever been that great at trash talking but somehow people still fall for his act and hype him up.. And it was a 40 year old retired guy fighting a mma champ for no title belts for a "record" of getting to 50-0, which I am not sure why this is an amazing record but whatever(julio cesar chavez won his first 80 something fights), I dont get all the weird hate for this fight, it didnt interest me that much so only watched some of it on youtube afterwards.. Cotto giving the japanese fellow brain damage wasnt much more of a contest either.

So it wasn't a real fight, it wasn't against a real boxer, it shouldn't count as 50 and it was a glorified sparring match...

where the fuck is Primo, I reckon that there is a decisions that needs reversing here
