Is Mayweather's style of boxing boring for viewers?
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED tbh yea
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED no
yes
yes floyd is boring that's why mma is so much better
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED yes it is run like a chicken!
Last time I checked, nobody forced you to watch Mayweather fight, he has a style that's not for everyone, go watch another fight, but you can't cause you all wanna see him lose.
Facts. and Oscar sounds dumb af the guy that sells the most tickets is bad for boxing? Like what
Facts they want to see someone beat him so bad every time he won they begin to hate him more and more
The other fighters sold the fight u bought not him. U just got hustled
So Why do boxers train on not getting hit??
DeVaughn J why would boxers want to get hit?
Hit
LMAO true
boxers train not getting hit But not running.
People who don't know about boxing should stop commenting on boxing stuff when has Mayweather ever ran away? He stands toe to toe he never runs he dodges and rolls but he has never ran go find me a video of him running your just too uneducated when it comes to boxing to understand that.
"And above all else, protect yourself at all times."
Yall sum up Floyd career based on the back end of his career. People never talk about his younger days "Pretty boy Floyd" he was a beast.
Booker D thank you
Mannnnn that's what I'm sayin
Exactly. But again Floyd was the one questioning why Pacquiao stopped knocking out people since 2009 pointing towards PED use! It's because you can't knock out people going up in weightclass. Pretty boy Floyd was knocking out people in lower weight class, same with the Pacquiao.
Pretty bald boy
Booker D that was because he was fighting at his real weight and his power would effect his opponents when he moved up to light welterweight he had no power
So it's Floyd's fault that nobody can knock him out?
Qua Watkins pretty much
Qua Watkins when u think about it it really is his fault that he can't be knocked out Bc he's too good😁😁
Trammel Arrington facts
It doesnt matter if Floyd Wins or not, its just boring to watch.
Lol he need to retire they're tired of try to knock Floyd out #TBE 50-0
skip Bayless just a Mayweather and lebron hater smfh
Skip misses Muhammad Ali and Frazier because they sat there and pounded on each other but if you compare them at age 40 versus Floyd at age 40 who was the smarter person? At the end of the day you have a choice watch the fight don't watch the fight but do not destroy a master while he's making a masterpiece because you do not approve of The Strokes he uses to paint his picture.
Dashiki Jones Well said
+Dashiki Jones The young Ali would never have allowed himself to get hit that much. It's not that he chose to get hit, but these dudes were heavyweight boxers out of their primes in a really hot ring and it was a 15 round fight. Ali's biggest flaw was he still relied on his speed into old age, whereas mayweather adjusted as he lost it
Dashiki Jones well said sir
Samuel Weldeysus Exactly!
comment of the year
If Floyd looses he's trash but if he wins he was supposed to win.
Exactly. And I see nothing wrong with that btw
No he's not trash BUT he is one of the best boxers ever and he's about to fight a guy who is making his Pro Debut...#LetThatSinkIn
Andre L. Vaughn imo i wouldnt put him in the conversation for best boxer ever compared to some like roy jones jr or a bernard hopkins or sugar shane mosley oscar de la hoya careers was so much better then floyd. floyd fought a lot of no name boxers over the years and he pretty much stayed in the same weight class for most of his career. Roy jones jr went through the welterweight middleweight light heavyweight and heavyweight and he dominated in every weight class
MrDdd856 floyd has fought more champions than any other boxer, has won 11 belts in 5 different weight classes and is undefeated.
4096g He looked terrible against Manny yet Manny missed 81% of his punches? Yeah right
De la hoya is just salty because he wanted Mcgregor vs Canelo lol, stop crying oscar.
and cus floyd beat him
Dakota Bracey did you watch the fight? Floyd didn't beat De La Hoya. Floyd was in SHOCK when they gave it to him
Dakota Bracey facts you can tell most never watched the fight
i would love to see that fight if by a miracle conor beats floyd.
Ricardo Marques preach brother it wasn't a problem when they was mentioning Canelo name and McGregor now it's all a sudden a problem but is he only speaking on Mayweather because tank Davis knocking out people and he's under the Mayweather Banner
Ali may have been more entertaining, but the man couldn't talk and could barely walk during the rest of his adult life as a result of taking so much punishment. Floyd doesn't run. He will lean against the ropes and make his opponent miss. He ducks and dodges the opponents punch and counters wile staying in the pocket. He is both best defensive and best counter puncher. Only idiots take punishment for "likes".
So oscar is saying it's good for boxing to get hit in the head repeatedly... then get brain damaged later. It's not good to protect yourself at all times. Boxing is hit and not get hit. Like stop this nonsense.
LTG no he's saying that boxing is a show. It's supposed to be entertaining. I personally like seeing defense but the thing about how Floyd fights now is that they lack offense. Other than that, he's great.
Vince Gonzalez here's the thing, if you watch Floyd when he was pretty boy Floyd, he took more risk and displayed more offense in the past watch him vs Diego Corales or Floyd vs chop chop Corley. But now he's getting older and his body is breaking down especially his hands. Floyd has a bad history of his hands that's why he only uses grant gloves because it provides enough padding in the gloves for his hands. So that's why you don't see drop people like he use to. But once your body breaks you gotta be more smarter on how you fight in the ring but a lot of people don't understand that (not saying you). You see people like Ali and etc had bad health problems (no disrespect to them) because they continue to take beatings to impress the crowds. It's not good for the body.
Vince Gonzalez ,I emplore you to look up punch stats. Simply view the totals of throw and connects of him (Floyd) v/s any opponent. Educate yourself, don't continue to be an uninformed idiot.
People take the hit and don't get hit stuff way too absolute. That doesn't mean fight 100% defensively and not show any offense at all.
LTG thank you
De La Hoya is the biggest hater I've ever seen.. like fr bros really hating on another mans money
Skip not understanding the term "sweet science" discredits anything he says about boxing
It's funny how people forget there was a Pretty Boy Floyd, the guy who threw insane combinations and was knocking people out. Why do we ignore that age and moving up in weight forces one to adjust their style? People are way too ignorant about the sport of boxing.
Hanma Yujiro don't worry about it after McGregor he'll look like pretty boy Floyd. Against Canelo it looked like he was pretty boy again lol
Cause he's trash
Hanma Yujiro Zzzzzzz
Tell me who where those fighters "pretty boy Floyd" was knocking out? Oh that's right a bunch of nobodies! 🤣🤣🤣
True. People act like Floyd's career started in the last 8 or so years.
He was knocking people out at his natural weight & called out plenty of boxers(who avoided him), and only started accepting his challenges when he became a cash cow.
I'm not the biggest Floyd fan, in fact i prefer Conor's character, But as a fan of boxing, no way does floyd run all the time, in fact he won the centre of the ring and was more of the aggressor in the Canelo fight (Just watch it) and Canelo is a massive hitter, Floyd won the centre for sure.
I agree with your point I'm not trying to be condescending but hypothetically if floyd fought canelo at this stage in canelos career and floyd in his prime could floyd beat him? Honestly.
Vegeta Sama I honestly don't know, that's a tough one. I mean my money is on Canelo to out-class Golovkin in September, but Mayweather love him or hate him is one of the best boxers I've ever seen.
Danny McDonnell thank you finally someone who knows the difference between dodging punches and running I have never seen Floyd run from someone the way Mcgregor ran from Diaz.
TactiCali Industries Yeah in the first fight with Diaz he knew he was losing the stand-up game and was shook, so went for the take down where Diaz just Boa-Constricted him, the second fight was one of the best UFC fights I've ever seen, and Conor lit Diaz up but was a close fight but Conor definitely redeemed himself and took the win for sure for me, but Floyd is stylistically the best boxer of all time (for sure).
Vegeta Sama my money would still be on Floyd. Before his strict defense, the dude was an offensive force to be reckoned with. Obviously it'd be in different weight classes but Floyd would be too quick for canelo, I mean, he's quick as of right now and when they fought. Subtract 10 years? Yeah it would be the same story. Just my opinion.
Y'all hate Mayweather and his fighting style but still watch his fights and give him the headlines
Because he can't be touched?? It's called running?? Maybe he doesn't wanna end his career as a vegetable. And btw he has 26 ko's in his career.
Jay Smoove If you can't chase down someone who's running in something as small as a boxing ring, you deserve to lose. Floyd isn't running, he's playing the game to his advantage.
couldn't say it any better
Victor Petrescu exactly running is him leaving the ring like the wwe and running through the exit.
Jay Smoove which is over half his opponents
Exactly that's how Muhammad Ali ended up with his condition.
Most people hated Ali when he was fighting but when he retired they praised him. They will do the same with Floyd.
lol They won't.
bungiemann Hey bro, Floyd is fighting a man with a 0-0-0 boxing record. Trust me nobody will praise him. Floyd is not even in the same league as Ali.
4096g true because Floyd is better than Ali
Linvausch Linvausch Floyd is not better than Ali bro Lol😄. Many people (including myself) are not even convinced that Floyd beat Pacquiao.
Tyler Hingleton I disagree with you bro, that's not the fight i saw. Floyd barely was letting his hands go - remember his own father said "why you fighting like you scared"?! You know most people have no clue that Floyd himself selected those judges. As for the punch stats most observers don't even agree. They even have youtube videos on the true punch stats. Compu box is just two men pushing a button. Floyd Mayweather NEVER beat Pacquiao. Even some hardcore Flomo's i know say the fight was not the way the judges and compubox had it. One Flomo even admitted it was given to Floyd. Its supposed to be Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 not Mayweather vs Conor. Floyd is afraid of Manny Pacquiao. You, i, and every body knows this bro. I'm black but i keep it💯. And about Floyd being bettet than Ali technically, why because his record say's 49-0? Ali fought the best of his time - most in their prime. No usada, no picking referees, no picking judges and all the other nonsense associated with a Mayweather fight. Floyd shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as Ali. If you wanna mention Floyd with Whittaker, Trinidad, Mosley and Pryor that fine. Sugar Ray Robinson and Ali were The Best Ever!
Won by "Out Slicking for 12 rounds"? How can you do that 49 times
Skips point on boxing is like someone saying Soccer sucks because they don't score enough 😐
So Skip: if no one wants to see Floyd run, he's boring and they want entertainment, why does he sell so many PPV'S?
dayum12 people want to see him lose
R Hunt Exactly!
R Hunt And why do they want to see him lose?
dayum12 because he's to good
dayum12 because stupid people still exist
people always hating on floyd
Eddie James Because he ruined the great sport that was known as Boxing
Gerson Medina ruined without him boxings almost irrelevant
Gerson Medina It's so many other boxers though. How can one man ruin a sport? Don't like his style of defense why watch?
Gerson Medina he didn't ruin it, he mastered it.
Not his fault he probably schooled your favorite boxer.
ILLEGAL IV
Skip hates Mayweather style of fighting but loves the Spurs.. They are both considered boring, but I thought winning was the most important thing
Dion White spurs play team basketball while most people like to see their favorite players like Kyrie Irving and kobe when he was in the league, playing iso ball and making crazy shots or shifting players making and 1 mixtapes
And they've been an older team with tony Parker and manu ginobili With only having kawai Leonard as their most exciting player while the rest are pretty much nobodys
The Spurs play beautiful basketball with a lot of passing, off-ball movement, different plays, defense and hustle. The Spurs are a well-oiled machined and textbook basketball team. They're as basketball as it gets because they cover all the fundamentals. Floyd on the other hand refuses to engage in a boxing fight nowadays but rather dances around the ring.
I think he's talking about boxing not every sport
I thought boxing was hit and not get hit Floyd Mayweather goat.
Tyrone Nelson Exactly
Tyrone Nelson that's what I thought as well
4096g never seen floyd run.
4096g 49-0
Lol ur names Tyrone. Its pretty safe to assume ur black and biased. Floyds top 10 but not #1
Of course de la Hoya would say that! Especially after running the whole match and losing the way he did all those years ago to Felix Trinidad!
havemersyonem I guess everybody forget about that one LOL
havemersyonem especially ... que carajos es eso. Spanglish
havemersyonem Exactly. Floyd ran from Pacquiao.
Yep and don't forget how they robbed Pernell Whitaker in order to make him a star.
Will Mills Pacquiao actually landed more punches than Floyd.
De la Hoya salty af
He's right, though.
he might not be right, but he sure isn't wrong.
Blah
De La Hoya was also a better fighter than Mayweather ever was.
@@deandrenicholas2545 except for when he lost to mayweather
So in a sport where your not supposed to get hit....it's his fault that nobody is great at defense like he is? People love hating greatness
4096g you must be the type of person in a fight you listen to the crowd and trade for them instead of for yourself.
4096g cause if that's the case boxers wouldn't train in defense.
4096g are your stupid? Or just don't know Floyd's history? He has broke his hands multiple times but before he was a knockout artist. He wasn't a heavy defensive fighter when he was younger, he actually stand toe 2 toe. Because of his hands he had to become more defensive.
4096g OHHH REALLY!!!!! No
A sport that you're not getting hit? Who told you that lie? Running shoulder mayweather? Cool, then what you're saying is, if everyone fought like Mayweather, the boxing world would be a better place....LMAO! It would like the 3 stooges version of boxing....two guys just running around the ring....the best offense being defense...against each other...just running around waiting for the other guy to throw the first punch.....and they could do some shadow boxing in between....to keep fans interested...even with all the past their prime fighters mayweather fought, they still were more entertaining than mayweather, they brought the fight...he brought his shoulder and running legs....without those boxers bringing the fight...it would have been a staring contest.
To be honest I used to feel like Oscar did when I was younger, but as I've grown up I realize that defense is a part of boxing just as much as offense. Floyd is a master of defense and speed and uses it to his advantage. May not be the most fun to see but you can't really rip him for it. You wanna win the match, then figure out how to catch him.
this white guy trying to test Shannon, throwing in that word "slick." I hope Troy Aikman finally catch up with his #ss
SO HE IS TOO GOOD FOR BOXING
Young&Reckless Escoo No he is too scared for boxing.
4096g and you're too dumb for humanity
Idiot
1 of the greatest of all time. Floyd Mayweather
Anybody who watched Ali's early career would know he was a defensive fighter that moved around the ring a lot.
I thought the point of boxing was to hit the person more WITHOUT getting hit😂
TMT has transcended boxing! It's all about working smarter! Take you and your family as far as you can go! You don't get anywhere by judging others and being hypocritical. Master your craft and master the business of your craft and win!
Floyd got that 90% tax IRS coming. No wonder he's been hanging out with TRUMP LOL
Skip wants 40 year old ex fighters with CTE. He talks about Ali like it wasn't sad to watch a legend not even be able to utter words or lift his arms in his last days
Sour grapes Oscar. Floyd still an all time great.
Russell Westbrook0 fook floyd maywetha
Huynherful Floyd has fought and defeated way more champions than De La Hoya
Tyler Hingleton #FACTS
Russell Westbrook0 foook nooo a all time marathon runner!
Tyler Hingleton preach
Floyd is my second favorite runner after Usain Bolt😂🏃♂️
Jordan Cabral undefeated!!!
So you never went to boxing practice. idiot
Jordan Cabral same here! 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
RUN FOR ME BOY!
Jordan Cabral he's still 49 and o 😂😁😀😂😃😃😄😃😃😂😂😂😁😂let's go Floyd
He not there to make it fun to watch lmao he's there to win
I love watching the technician in the ring
DE LA HATER!!!
Mr. Tap Out
TBE... The Boring Ever
Why don't people talk about Floyd early o n his career "Pretty boy Floyd" people judge him on the back end of it.
Oscar mad cuz he lost to mayweather
gershon garbrah he been mad and hating for years after that lost.
....SKEEEEEEUUUUUP
hahahahaha i just saw your comment when he said that and i was pissing myself laughing
im so done rn hahahaha
😂😂😂
So you want boxers to be near death to please you skip lmao 😂? 🤔 I think they're just hating cuz he found a smart new way to win and he just does what Ali did against George foreman and tires boxers out
+David Shelton Jr Yes we want boxers who fight like their lives depend on it... MMA fighters are doing that and they take waaaay more risk....
Jefke Theboss yeah true I get what you're saying I understand and that's the difference mma you can kick and grapple and put your opponent in submission holds but Floyd obviously loves boxing and it's his passion it's not just about the money or he would've been stopped
Its not a New way to win LOL Its Olympic Point Boxing that the judges should punish somewhat for just running the whole time. He is going to make the money regardless though so he is smart to save himself. If people are still going to pay to watch a boring fight than why not
I don't think he's asking for that I think that he just wants Floyd to do more than just protect himself to the point that he's doing nothing. Muhammad was different because he was charismatic and you wanted to see him win and he was a heavyweight fighter with quick feet. He also had tremendous punching speed and power that floyd doesn't have.
Vegeta Sama well yeah of course in no way am I comparing the two Muhammad Ali is the GOAT no ones came close and no ones as good as he was but I get what you're saying
Mcgregor was running from nate diaz
Oscar "Bevo laddy got more head than he got body" De La Hoya !
Idiot
skip the type to say I hate the style because it's boring not fun to watch but say hey I love the spurs but damn they were slow & boring lol
Why is he the most watched boxer ever if nobody wants to see him since he's boring?
People want to see him lose.
So he's not good for boxing because he doesn't get hit? Lmfaooo. So he's too good for boxing lmfao.
Stop buying his tickets if you don't wanna watch a dance competition.
Real Dallas Cowboys Fan It's a ring , there's no where to actually " run" running is what Conor did against Diaz. That's actual running
Real Dallas Cowboys Fan I'm assuming you're a Conor fan. watch the Nate Diaz Conor mcgregor first fight and go watch Conor turn his back and run away from Nate multiple times. Floyd will never do that
Ximo Pierto YTBC Boxing TV you're taking what he said so literal. Obviously he's not running away lol
Those that hate Floyd and think hes boring arent boxing fans. They are just fans of fights and watching people get beat up. Those peoples opinions should only matter in the financial sense. Any real boxing fans knows Floyd is the best and the "running" claims are a call of the idiots.
never bought a mayweather fight but i buy pacquio
i never understood how floyd is boring its amazing too see how no matter what nobody can stop him its really intriguing tbh
Skip and casuals want checkers while real boxing fans want chess. It's as simple as that.
Salty much?
Sponge Gar sour af
Ricky Ricardo Oscar is just mad because Floyd has owned him both as a boxer and promoter. He wants to be in Floyd's position.
JREEL SIMPLE.....
I make prank calls to radio programs. Play them on my page. your channel is hilarious 😂
I make prank calls to radio programs. Play them on my page. NIGGGGAAAAAER
Imagine how exciting a Tyson v Tyson fight would be or Ali v Ali🤔 now imagine how boring a mayweather v mayweather fight would be😩
And imagine one of them actually living into old age because his head wasn't bashed throughout his career 😂
I wouldn't say that at all. Looking at it from a pure technical standpoint, the way Mayweather boxes is flat out amazing. He and Pernell Whitaker in their prime are the two best I've seen at throwing smart punches and avoiding taking damage during a fight.
If I had a son and if he wanted to go into boxing I'd tell him to watch Floyd Mayweather and the way he protects himself, hits with accuracy, uses footwork, counters and uses defensive IQ. Point blank period. Floyd's boxing technique is art.
So your mad because he doesn't get hit lmao
Here doesn't get hit because he doesn't fight.
Skip once again shows he knows nothing about boxing. why is he still around.
B Brown cause people care about boxing once every 5 years
He's honestly just around to be the antagonist and rile people up.
i love when shannon says something so quiet i cant hear him so i need to max speakers
Few will understand the genius of Floyd Maywhether boxing is to hit and not get hit. Floyd is a master of this.
I've always told my friends that Floyd is the best/worst fighter of all time. The whole idea is to hit and not be hit, he is the master of it. If you're a purist then you love it. Unfortunately it's not the reason why most fans watch boxing. His fight are not watchable, if you want to see guy really mix it up.
drkdze I feel he sales ridiculous amounts of pay per views every fight
drkdze - he stood in front of Canelo the whole fight?!!
Aaron Mcvay Yeah he does!
Curt Millie You call that mixing it up!?!? Canelo stalked him a majority of the time. And when Floyd stood in front of him, all he did was fake and feint trying to counter/counter roll him. He throw some jabs and then back out. I remember 2 or 3 rounds where Floyd was actually the aggressor (3rd and the 9th if my memory serves me correctly).
drkdze - Yes he threw feints and jabs, but he also dished out multiple over hand right hands. Canelo got punched until his whole face was red, Geurrero got roughed up, Moseley got violated, Zab Judah.... How many more examples of Floyd being an aggressor do you need?
"Jealousy is love and hate at the same time"!! 50-0 #tmt
"2:40 Nearly killed each other" Exactly why boxers now should NOT fight how Skip wants them to.
Didn't Muhammad Ali say "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" which basically means hit and don't get hit and people say he's the greatest boxer ever , but Floyd is doing that exact thing and people are saying he's boring , he's running , makes no sense. Floyd just found more effective ways to win. He's like the lebron of boxing , found different and smarter ways to be to be effective in the game.
Skip knows nothing about boxing
Preach Shannon. My thoughts exactly.
Funny skip would use the boring argument, when his favorite basketball team is San Antonio Spurs, I guess them being "boring" is bad for the NBA??? Nothing wrong with being boring if you're winning
Vasyl Lomachenko is what people want to watch a great defensive fighter that fights toe to toe with an opponent, not by running, but by boxing.
With the heavyweight class being revitalized, by the likes of Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, and the top ranked boxers in the different weight classes actually fighting each other is their prime, Boxing is in a very good place right now.
But let's be clear here, Floyd Mayweather Jr. might be one of the greatest ever, no one can simply deny the fact that he actually almost completely killed this amazing sport. I'm not talking just about the money, but the way he has been selecting his fights. Dodging and avoiding other top ranked boxers for more than a decade, and just waiting for them to get old.
He made this process the norme and emerging boxers started doing the same, to the point where a year could pass by without a big fight. And I'm talking about big money and fame fights, not over-average boxers in 10 rounds bouts.
I will remember some of Mayweather's fights, but the reset of it, I've already forgot. He was boring to watch, and turned highly anticipated fights into dancing contest.
I will most definitely not miss Floyd, and I'm so happy boxing is getting back to the high spot, slowly but surely.
Tomodachi don't worry bro Connor about to put him out for good and boxing fans can have their sport back.. also don't forget Errol Spence he's a beast and some Ukrainian guy that sparred tj also a beast
Name one boxer he dodged, and I'll show you a myth.
who are all these fighters he avoided?
Tomodachi What boxer do you think deliberately stalled their own career and didn't take a big fight because Floyd influenced them?
Vaital V Dude don't you know? Floyd is the only boxer in history who was supposed to fight EVERY top prospect and champion in his era regardless of their weight class. It didn't matter if they had a belt or weren't ranked, coming off horrible losses, or were with a promotion or network that wouldn't let them fight Floyd. He should have fought at least 100 fights and went up 2 more divisions. He shoulda fought Bernard, Roy, Calzaghe, Vernon Forest, Trinidad, Winky, James Toney, Andre Ward, Kovalev, ggg and Canelo again because Canelo was too young. And he shoulda fought Thurman instead of Pacquiao because that was really the fight people wanted. And since hes TBE he should've done like Roy and went up to heavyweight and fought Joshua. Doesn't matter though. ggg and lomachenko are the best anyways
They always come up with excuses of why black aren't the greatness in every sport smh I'm tired of it
i love floyd's style ...
This aged well
Pacquaio Fights are better than Mayweather whole career..
Please stop hating...from here on out for all the haters u will get a voodoo spell on u
Eric Tinsley shut the fook up broke bum
so they are telling floyd to dumb down his defense and stop being so good at counter punching.
There is a big difference on defense/blocking an attack vs running away from a fight
Floyd "Dancing" Mayweather
Nobody Touches Kwame Brown Floyd "Running Man" Mayweather. Fighting scared is not defense. Remember when Floyd Senior said "Why you fighting like you scared"? Lol
Without watching I'm guessing race has something to do with it right Shannon?
MG23 lol nah you guessed wrong 😂
Daunte Warren
Yeah they tricked me. The race related segment was after this when they talked about O.J.
You must be white
fuddyduddie1
He attributed my thoughts to the White race. His comment clearly implied that only a White person could post what I posted. He has our thoughts and actions separated by race in his mind because he's racist.
fuddyduddie1
Right cause when a White person stereotypes a Black parson they never get called racist by clowns like you.
Sure thing boss. Now run along.
Floyd is a master defensive boxer. Like Cus D'amato said: the best boxer is the one who does not get hit.That says it all
"conor mcgregor: who would not want to dance in the ring and get 150mil?"
true as fck.thanks oscar and skip!
De La Hoya speaks the truth 😤
QuantumT nahhhhh...he's an idiot. What boxer goes into a fight wanting to stand in the middle of the ring taking brain damage?
*Michael Masoe* It's not about wanting to take brain damage, it's about being more offensive and taking more risks to put on a show. It's a fight, after all.
Lockard The GOAT Floyd has 49 victories and 0 losses. He's made over 700 million in his career and still has his health at the age of 40. Floyd was more offensive in his younger years, under the name Pretty Boy but with age he's become more defensive due to his hands. People like you don't take Floyds age into consideration when discussing his most recent fights...if you want a proper comparison...go watch Floyd box in his 20s
Michael Masoe I'm aware of all his accolades, thanks for sharing... They don't address anything that I said, however. I know how he fought when he was younger, but he gav that up with age because he became too afraid of losing and started fighting like a girl.
Skip goes on a lengthy monolog Shannon responds with two words "sweet science." Preach Shannon.
This is true . 3 years later
And De La Hoya was the same fighter who "ran" the last 3 rounds against Trinidad when he thought he had the win in the bag..
I absolutely agree
Oscar is right about the business aspect but he's wrong about the running/dancing aspect. It's not as good for the fans for fighters to focus solely on the business aspect. That encourages them to not take the fights we'd like to see at the times we'd like to see them. But he's horribly wrong for knocking Floyd for mastering the actual "ART" of boxing (to hit and not get hit). If nothing else, look at the number of people who gravitate towards every fighter Floyd faces in hopes that they can "catch" him. Love him or hate him, people still tune in.
Basically Skip wants to see some good old buck fighting
as a white simple Canada guyyy, I love Shannons thruths :)
All of Skips credibility went out the window when he said "boxing isn't a sweet science ", da fuq!!?!
The rules to boxing is to punch and not get hit . Its boxing not slugging
Skip is a casual😂
Mayweather vs De La Hoya match stats :
Total punches thrown/landed :
Mayweather : 481-207 (43%) / power punches thrown/landed 241-138 (57%)
De La Hoya : 587-122 (21%) /power punches thrown/landed 341-82 (24%)
They say all that but Floyd’s PPV’s prove them wrong
People call Floyd boring yet he's still the biggest draw.
The art boxing or any kind of fighting is to hit and not get hit period.
They just mad they never got the chance to see him lose
Everybody is a learning tool 4 da next generation it took Tyson, Frazier and Ali to make people like Mayweather focus on getting paid I respect it
GGG v Canelo is THE fight. An unreal fight that boxing has been waiting for an age. What a fight. I am looking forward to both fights, i would not pay for Mayweather but i would for GGG Canelo.
Did skip go there with the race card,talking about the "black" community. And about them outslicking to survive?did I miss something. Smh
boxing is about hit and not get hit, not about running to not get hit.
I hate seeing fighters standing toe to toe taking too much damage
