2-0-Sixx @2-0-Sixx Make up you mind, is Marquez one dimensional or a special fighter?
When did I say he's one dimensional lol

I said he's best when he plays the role of the counter puncher. He struggles when he has to be the aggressor against a boxer (Floyd, Bradley, Chris John). When guys come to him and he can set traps and counter off someone's aggression that's when he shines (Pacquiao, Diaz, etc).

Please, even GB doubted Garcia. Ruslan is a champ, Matthysse wasn't and still isn't! Bradley remained champ after fighting Ruslan and trust me, GB nor Al Haymon would allow anyone under the roster to fight Ruslan for a gazillion reasons! Garcia would not beat Bradley lets be real here and Ruslan vs Garcia would be beastly! Fuck Al Haymon! with that being said, Bradley gets the winner of this fight, another big stage fight. Mayweather fights Khan, and still remains #1? What I'm trying to say is that Floyds opponents and money will go down while Bradleys will go up. So, who will Floyd fight next? Anyone from GB is like Nolan Ryan pitching in AAA
Fuck Bob Arum....Got Em!!

CZAR @CZAR what part makes you laugh? who has Canelo beat in comparison to who has Bradley beat? Even Floyd said before that a catchweight fighter is not a fighter that's 100%! I understand people are not fans of Bradley at all but when people talk about skilled fighter this, Rigo that, Floyd that, why not Bradley?
Just the way u try to hide your hate on Floyd but it shows blatantly lol. Bradley is a very good fighter. This has nuthin to do with Bradley but just the way u try to discredit the great Floyd. Its so funny man. Got Em!!

I never said Floyd was scared. I never said floyd wouldn't easily beat him . I said exactly what would happen - that because Canelo is a boxer-puncher and doesn't apply pressure his size would be a non factor, Floyd's speed would be a huge advantage and Canelo doesn't have the experience.

I don't know how good Canelo is, he's never beat an elite fighter so who knows with this kid. Maybe he becomes something special, point is Marquez has proven himself as a special fighter. That much is obvious.
Well I didnt necessarily mean u but after the fight thats what I hear. Oh it was a easy fight goin in. Canelo had no chance etc..etc....but I wasnt hearing that before the fight. Got Em!!

2-0-Sixx @2-0-Sixx If he has to be the aggressor and he struggles cuz his main thing is counter punching then yes, you make him sound like he is one dimensional. If he was special, he would have made adjustments sine he is experienced enough hence he is a special fighter. You make him sound like he is not. Bradley made adjustments and made him look one dimensional. If Marquez is not, what other ways could Marquez beat Bradley? CZAR @CZAR Floyd is a great fighter, but I have always said im not a fan of his. He is the man I love to hate. But do you think he should keep on being #1 p4p if he keeps on fighting GB fighters? Be honest. Plus I never said fuck GB, I said fuck Al Haymon.

First off I dont care if u say fuck GB or Haymon, its still fuck Arum on mine lol. 2ndly Floyd is by far the best fighter on the planet and is head and shoulders the p4p best fighter and it isnt even close so yes no matter who he fights he will and should remain number one. GB has the better stable anyway. Got Em!!

That doesn't mean he's one dimensional it means his best aspect of his game are his counter punching. You can't really counterpunch while being the aggressor and chasing a guy around the ring. What could he have done? Be more disciplined. Stay his ground and don't take the lead, make Bradley come to him. Even if the crowd is booing don't take the lead.

Anyways, I don't even know what we're talking about anymore. I was saying Bradley's win over Marquez is obviously more impressive than Floyd beating Canelo. But Bradley cannot beat Floyd since he's not going to be able to out box him and he doesn't have the power to be effective with aggression.

I see how you can say this but I disagree when it comes to performance. On paper, Marquez has the better resume and Bradley was the underdog so I totally get it. But when you look at who dominated the fight, who was taken out of their game, who controlled, etc, I'd say Floyd's performance in the ring was more impressive.

floyd should just fight manny and get it over with. but another tune up with an elite fighter would be the wisest decision. i dont think pac was tested good enough by rios. floyd is ready tho.

What do u mean Floyd should just fight Manny and get it over with? He has tried many times to fight Manny. I think maybe u need to send Arum a message! Got Em!!

Why believe Floyd? Once he called out Manny(during the Ortiz pressers) the next day he denies such a thing happened. That's a legit duck move

Nah man he figures them out. Floyd is remarkable at making adjustments. Zab Judah, first four rounds was doing great. Was up. Floyd figures out his speed makes the adjustments Judah gets shut out. Shane Mosley, won first two rounds and rocked Floyd bad rd 2. Floyd makes the adjustments, he gets Shane's speed down, he keeps the exact amount of distance he needs between them for the rest of the fight, beats Shane to the punch over and over and wins the rest of the rounds with ease.

So what is Bradley going to do? He out-boxed Marquez and looked great doing it but Marquez, like against Floyd, is a counter puncher by nature. When JMM is forced to be the aggressor against a boxer he's going to lose because thats not his style. Is Bradley going to out-box Floyd? No Floyd is too disciplined he will force Bradley to be the aggressor. When that happens out-boxing floyd goes out the window.

Can Bradley beat Floyd by being aggressive and applying pressure? Not without power. He could try to make it ugly and nasty but he wouldn't be scoring points like that against such an accurate puncher.

Bradley is like a Swiss Army knife - he has so many different tools which makes him versatile enough to compete with anyone. Unfortunately none of those tools are sharp or strong enough to beat Floyd.
Man...2-0-Sixx broke that down so accurately...I hope battle619 understood it...I doubt it...lol.

That's not a duck move sense Manny Pacquiao never called Floyd Mayweather out on what Floyd had said after the Victor Ortiz bout...the media called Floyd out on the quote and he ducked the media...not Pacquiao.

Manny didn't have to call him out, it was in high demand by us, the fans. As Floyd fans say that there is no high interest, here we are still talking about this bullshit.

You are a Hater. Mayweather fought Ortiz May 2011 and called Manny out right? Do you forget that Mayweather called Manny on the phone personally and offered him $40 million to for a May 2012 fight, which was Mayweathers very next fight. How was offering and guy a career high payday ducking him. Mayweather offered Manny the fight and Manny turned it down, so Floyd fought Cotto. I love how peoples hate just make them lie and make up shit. Fact Mayweather offered Manny fights two different times and both times Manny said no to the offer. Lol.

Now to Bradley. I'm a real Bradley fan from day one. Bradley doesn't have the power to keep Mayweather off him. Mayweather would attack Bradley early and walk him down. If you actually watched Floyd's last fight from round one he attacked the big punching Canelo from the opening bell. Mayweather will put a beating on Bradley if they fight. All Bradley has to do is win out until the end of 2014 when his Top Rank contract runs out, he will be fighting Mayweather. Manny is in the same boat too his contract is up end of 2014. Which guy will win out to get that payday.


FYI, Manny still has never made $40 million for one of his in-house fights, but it wasn't a good offer by Mayweather. Lol..

Considering that at the time they were pretty much ranked at #1 and #2 or tied for the #1 spot, and had basically the same numbers when it came to ppv, it wasn't a good deal. However, now that it is clear as day that Manny does NOT have his business in order, it was/is a better deal than what he has been getting but it wasn't a solid deal.

The problem HERESY is that "deal" would never have flied. Floyd's offer was to give Pacquiao a $40 million flat fee CUTTING OUT Top Rank whom Pacquiao was and is under contract with, and be promoted by Golden boy. Even if Pacquiao would have accepted he would have been sued by Top Rank and the fight would never have happened because Top Rank would have won in court, easily. This is like when Mayorga signed a deal with someone else while under contract with Don King and King prevented the fight. The offer from Floyd, not only financially at the time was crap but legally it was impossible. Floyd is no dummy. He knew Pac was under contract.
