In all honesty this is actually good to attract new fans to the sport. It will help show them how ridiculous it is to compare late starting non boxers to any pro lifelong name.

I'm actually less interested in the heavyweight championship fight coming up than this....just saying

What's crazy is that the heavyweight division could have been incredibly marketable. Three unbeaten heavyweight champions...? That makes for good TV, if they actually end up fighting each other in some sort of round-robin. I still think Joshua versus Wilder and Fury is interesting, but it surely would have been bigger for the public had Joshua met Wilder or Fury when all three were still unbeaten. That draw was a huge gift for promotional reasons.

Muhammad Ali literally fought a Japanese pro wrestler for money. You guys are nerds. Nothing Floyd is doing is unprecedented and this shouldn’t be treated as a real fight. He’s doing this for fun, money, and exposure to Logan’s fans. This isn’t Floyd challenging himself against a tough opponent and he’s not going to hurt the kid.

Except that was a special rules fight that had about a thousand conditions so Ali wouldn't get hurt and Inoki would never have been stupid enough to agree to a pro boxing rules match. This will be termed as an exhibition but it will be fought under full pro rules. It also happened in the 70s FFS, people didn't even wear seat belts back then, LOL at comparing the two.

Mayweather is a clown and he will just waste the money he makes from this fight on stupid shit soon enough and probably end up fighting Bob Sapp next.

So, Floyd is fighting Logan Paul whilst Manny is talking Errol Spence lol

Floyd is retired. Manny is still active. What's your point?
If Floyd comes back and loses to a Spence or a Crawford what does that really prove.... its not even a good win for them. People would just say they beat an old/ shot/ inactive/ retired version of him.

These 2 are etched in stone together for eternity, Manny's resume already deeper, a win over Errol.. dang!

Floyd is not going to try. This is not a challenge. Floyd is like 45 with nothing left to prove and you goobers are mad he's not rematching Canelo or something.

I dont know if id say that since Floyd has EASY victories over Manny and the dude who gave manny his toughest fights while brutally stopping him.
They have a lot of the same big names on their resume.
Also, I believe Manny is willing to do some things Floyd wasn't for longevity.

Did you forged the torn rotator cuff? Manny beat more legends and most common opponents more decisively. The Thurman win was tremendous. If he were to beat Spence even Seano would have to tip his hat.

Manny is an all time great. He is not better than Floyd. I didnt forget. I just don't buy that excuse. I believe it was damaged in the fight most likely. If it was that big of an injury prior no way hes risking that fight not feeling close to great.
Did you forget he is scared of certain needles?

I think they're both silly fights. Fighting Spence is a punishing experience for every opponent, let alone at 41. And imagine some goofy asshat twice Floyd's size gets lucky with temple shot?

I would think that too if Manny didn't look so phenomenal against Thurman. So I honestly can't say what would happen.
I dont think Paul could KO Mayweather with a free shot gloved up....

who was floyd's biggest opponent? was it canelo? all i know is jake is huge compared to floyd, he''s gonna walk in damn near 200 lbs

When fight fans take sides of a certain promotion fights will never happen. Pbc. Will tell you that ugas and lipinets. Are next in line for Spence. and ignore the guy who should have fought Spence.

I get it they’re waiting until Crawford is 37. And fans side with a promotion.

This would make sense if anyone anywhere in the world was asking for Spence/Ugas or Spence/Lipinets as opposed to Spence/Crawford, but they're not.

This isn't going to prove anything as it's an exhibition. Floyd's last exhibition with Tensin was as real as WWE. He was flopping all over the place on the knock downs.

He was landing clean but Tenshin was selling it.

At least it wasn't as bad as

RIP Kimbo.

I defended Mayweather for so long but this is too much, he's destroying his legacy because he's addicted to buying million dollar watches and paying people to stand around him all day doing nothing. Sort your finances and stop spending money on stupid shit to impress people and then you wouldn't have to take these stupid fights for money.

He isn’t destroying his legacy at all. His legacy is already solidified.

 

[hillelslovak87]

Yes. Jake is the more skilled one who KO’d Nate last weekend. Logan is much less skilled and doesn’t take boxing as seriously. Weak move Floyd lol

Taking boxing seriously would result in neither getting into the ring and profiting off such a mockery........
