I don't get this, Berto is a nothing fight tbh but what does taking the fight make him a coward?

Not like he's turned down harder fights and decided to fight him in favour of tougher fights. If he has please enlighten me.

by LeSwagg James Wed Aug 05, 2015 12:59 am

He's taking an easy fight against an average fighter, with nothing going for him in his career just so he can get that 49-0 and retire 'undefeated'.. That makes him a coward in my opinion

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Aug 05, 2015 1:03 am

Seems legit.

by RealGunner Wed Aug 05, 2015 1:05 am

Doubt anyone can beat Mayweather, but he should have retired with a good fight tbh.

This will be as one sided as they come

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Aug 05, 2015 1:10 am

Well i agree but taking a shit fight, but there's *bleep* all left at this weight which he hasn't already beaten.

Don't see how it makes him a coward tbh, anyway who says it's his last fight lol?

Please, who should he have fought?

Another of these hyped up contenders like Pac-Man and then when he schools him, people like you will complain that it wasn't that challenging? Forgetting the fact that it was people like you who hyped up the scrub in the first place?

Laughing

Right.

If he was a real nigga he would move up in class and fight GGG

At least fight someone on a hot streak or something

What? Why should he move up to a weight class he has fought 3 fights in during his entire career (one being at a catch-weight with Canelo)?

Name me the big name GGG has put down that makes him this guy who is so feared?

If Floyd moved up and beat him, the complaint would be that GGG has NOT beaten a single relevant name in his career so he was unproven.

Hot streak? Like who? There is not a single guy out there who casual fans (or Mayweather whiners) would not have complained about regardless who he chose.

When has a fighter where gotten heat for moving up in weight to fight a champion with serious knockout power? Things like that are what puts people in the GOAT conversations. He's a great fighter, one of the best all time but he says he's the best ever but doesn't even do things to try and legitimize it Laughing

A second fight with Cotto, Khan or Danny Garcia would of been better.. Or even Keith Thurmam

by El Gunner Wed Aug 05, 2015 2:59 pm

Lol izzy I can't see how people would have complained if he took on GGG.

This.

& GGG is defo not unproven, not by a long shot. Him and Sergey have real shots to be the next big 2 superstars in boxing.

But GGG vs Floyd isn't really a fair fight anyways.

Either way Berto is a scrub and this is a horrible fight, but we knew this was happening ever since the name drop him or Mayfield so not really a surprise.

Amir or someone else would have made it more interesting, either way I won't be paying for this shiz Laughing

You can't compare Berto to someone like Amir or Keith sometimes and the majority wouldn't have complained like they have with Berto but hey ho he'll get that payday.

Oh and how did I forget my man Kell :bow:

by Rebaño Sagrado Thu Aug 13, 2015 9:37 pm

Cotto/ Canelo official cheers

by Abramovich Sat Aug 15, 2015 3:34 pm

Hopefully the winner takes on GGG.

by Rebaño Sagrado Sat Aug 15, 2015 3:47 pm

Cotto ain't fighting him lol. I definitely think Canelo will though. It's just a matter of when because he's still not fighting at 160, so if it's next year it will probably be at a cw.

Everyone laughing at Berto, when I bet my life that he gives Floyd more problems than Manny

by The Franchise Fri Aug 21, 2015 10:57 am

Dont agree with that p4p thing.

Pacman still in the top 10 Laughing

Crawford in the top 10 already? He beat Gamboa and who else? Top 20, maybe.

No Shawn Porter? No Maidana? No Matthysse? No Kell Brook? No Lara?

Cotto too high. Klitschko too high. Abraham? lol

Rigo cant be any lower than 5.

by RealGunner Sun Aug 30, 2015 2:13 pm

Hope you didn't put too much money on Mares Reb.

Talks of Khan Vs Pacquaio picking steam. Let's hope there is something in it.

by Rebaño Sagrado Fri Sep 04, 2015 1:29 am

Floyd saying this will be his last fight.

by The Franchise Fri Sep 04, 2015 10:54 am

Floyd is done. He doesnt loving boxing any more.

I think I heard him say it 2 or 3 fights ago?

He is in the same stage many fighters are in, where they only fight for the money. Obviously the difference is Floyd is still very good at what he does.

by El Gunner Fri Sep 04, 2015 1:08 pm

Floyd is secretly an Arsenal fan.

by izzy Thu Sep 10, 2015 6:25 pm

Have you guys heard this shit? http://www.boxingscene.com/mayweather-under-hot-fire-over-usada-iv-scandal--95622

rofl

So, now Floyd is a drugs cheat and USADA are helping him cheat by not conducting WADA standard testing (even though they do) and they have been doing this for years upon years.

Everyone is covering it and reporting it (USADA already put out a statement firing back at the claims of their credibility).
