He didn't agree to shit. Mayweather vs Pacman could have happened 2 years ago...but Manny claimed he needed more than 14 days to recover from a few lousy tests. C'mon now... What kind of bullshit excuse is that? Now they claim they agreed to everything Pac won't go near a winning fighter. You gotta' be half dead to get a fight with him. Arum knows he doesn't have a fighter than can beat Floyd..so he beats him the ONLY way he can...in the media.
Here's a video that shows three of the deliberate headbutts including the final one in slow motion. Whoever made the video should have shown Ortiz grinding his head into Mayweather every time that they were clinched on the ropes. This video also shows that Joe Cortez had clearly restarted the fight after the point deduction. [youtube]Fu182YB9PUw[/youtube] Here's a clip of a similar situation in the Mayweather/Mosely fight. Go to 3:10. After both fighters were told to break, Mosely stands there talking shit to Mayweather, and Mayweather punches him. [youtube]6d7i87WW-L0[/youtube] Notice how the biased the HBO crew praises Mayweather for doing essentially the same thing that he did to Ortiz. Those clowns were on Ortiz's jock because they are desperate for another Latino "golden boy" and were going out of there way to pander to the Mexicans who bought the PPV. Whether you like Mayweather or not, he didn't deserve any criticism for the way he handled that little punk.
Anyone who says that Mayweather and Pacquaio don't fight challenging opponents automatically discredits their boxing expertise. Both have fought De la Hoya, Hatton (Mayweather when Hatton was undefeated), Marquez, and Mosley. At least two of those fighters are locks for the Hall of Fame. Pacquaio's resume is slightly more impressive because he fought Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Berrera, but Mayweather would make short work of both fighters, so it's a wash.
I don't think this would have been your response if the knocked out dude was BLACK, flaminghetoro knows you well and what you are all about ....
:smt023 If Floyd launched himself headfirst into Ortiz' chin and got KTFO... Petty would be riding Ortiz' dick like a bicycle.
come on bro that's what it has always been about. Truth be told, I haven't had a good laugh in a while. thanks man.
before sparring we shake hands or give each other a fist pump, then try to kill each other. after class, we shake each other's hands also. there is honor for opponents in martial arts, after all. Unless you've trained in something or followed doctrine like that, you won't understand. I didn't see the headbutt tho. As hetero already asserted, im mexican lover
See this is why I know your ass don't watch boxing. Cuz no matter which side you fall you have to be the ONLY person I've see that claim PAC don't fight hard fighters. In fact if you match up who Jr. has fought vs PAC you can EASILY see who has come against the harder fights
I understand two men in a ring fighting for money. Don't tell me you can't see that:smt102 For god sakes these are two men willing to go to the ring and cause brain damage for money. Tell me you can't see that. There is a reason why Ali is shaking. It was for the money. If you really thought this was about honor, then you really need to reevaluate what boxing and any other professional sport is about? Honor and that warrior way doesn't pay the bills.
Pac fights Floyd's leftovers and shot to hell plodders. He only fights guys that BLOCK punches and is skillfully kept away from guys that SLIP punches. There is a reason...Pac is on ONE foot after throwing his straight left.. You can get away with that against a blocker. When Shane was WW Champion Pac's trainers told him: "Shane you're just too good" But soon as Mosley lost to Floyd and struggled with the dreaded Sergio Mora..he suddenly became worthy of a title with the Pacman. Hell....Margarito didn't even have a LICENSE when he was granted a shot at Manny's BOGUS wbo crap-strap. WBC > WBO This is what his trainer said BEFORE Pac fought them: "Hatton isn't the same simce losing to Mayweather"....Freddy Roach "Oscar can't pull the trigger at 147"...Freddy Roch "Cotto is damaged goods"...Freddy Roach Mayweather just fought the welterweight CHAMPION. Pac's next fight is against the LIGHTWEIGHT Champion...lol That's a step uo for him because MOST of his opponents don't have any titles. Mayweather is on a different level than Pac and his handlers know it.:smt006
When you see that headbutt you'll send Floyd a stripper and a box of cigars for knocking that bitch out.
which is why i added the 'followed doctrine' line too, so smartass mothafuckas like you wouldn't be like 'oh but wait homie, that's in all sports' brings back memories of lining up to shake hands in soccer and football tho, although i was a bit of a dirty soccer player and guys would skip me
I have followed doctrine like that but I am adult enough to know all that honor shit goes out the window when enough money is up for grabs. We're all for sale don't be fooled playboy. Outside of hurting loved ones there's nothing most of us wouldn't do if there was enough money to do it.
