Can't wait to watch the fight. Both guys coming of a loss, so i'm pretty sure they're going a KO. Its just going to be like Pacquiao vs Margarito but Rios is younger, tougher, and has real power. Hoping for a slugfest.
"You're saying you prefer guys going for the knock out and that's not what boxing is. " Fail.
That's the main objective for almost every boxer, to KO the other guy first before he KO's you out. Ever heard the phrase "one lucky shot". That's what most fighters train for, execute the game plan and if you have a chance to KO the guy. Do it!
"What Manny Pacquiao does is not boxing because he goes in throwing a lot of punches and does practically nothing to protect himself."
Another Fail! Why does Pacquiao throw a lot of punches, its called pressure.
"If you have a problem with boxers then you are not a boxing fan". FAIL, again. You don't have to be a fan to have a problem with boxers. If you say so, then you are assuming that everyone who has a problem in boxing aren't boxing fans. OK, how about the BS scoring that a lot of fighters go through. How about cheaters. Promoters who are only after money. Fighters who are considered the best in their era but never really fights the best.
yeah shut the F up. I think the reason why you said all that is cause you cannot accept that Pacquiao vs Rios is going to be much more exciting Floyd vs Guerrero. And like Doc said, its what boxing needs right now. Excitement.
I think boxing is very exciting right now I don't think the quality of the fighters is very good and this makes great fights because neither guy knows how to get out the way of the other. You just took a jab at two of the best boxers in the world Floyd and Ward wow . Don't hate them for learning the trade tell the rest of these clowns to get their games up.
Actually David is correct.
The definition of boxing is "the art of hitting without getting hit".
Dont get me wrong, I watch ROCKY just like everybody else and occasionally find myself rooting for the underdog. Getting hit doesnt take skill, it takes negligence to learn defense. I can do that sitting at my computer right now.
Regarding what you said about "It feeling like the Floyd show", thats because basically its the only game in town left. Have you really seen the amount of leaving or retirements in boxing in the last five to ten years? The list is EPIC!! Roy Jones, James Toney, Ricardo Mayorga, Winky Wright, Paul Williams, Antonio Margarito, Ricky Hatton, LIKELY Shane Mosely, DLH, Tito Trinidad, Joe Calzaghe....
Youre getting the idea, thats really the beginning of the list.. Boxing was so busy racking up the PPV money nobody groomed a next generation to take over when these guys all retired. And they did. So now Floyd, Canelo, and only a few others, are all thats left.
If you have a problem with boxers then you are not a boxing fan. You're saying you prefer guys going for the knock out and that's not what boxing is. Boxing is exactly what Wad and Mayweather do. That's exciting because it's boxing. What Manny Pacquiao does is not boxing because he goes in throwing a lot of punches and does practically nothing to protect himself.
Exactly...This is the fight that im looking for...Its a war...
boxing has become very tactical in recent years with boxers like floyd and ward at the top and while i enjoy seeing the sweet science i love seeing an aggressive fighter going for the KO which is what manny brings . i don't really rate Rios but he will come to fight and it should be an exciting fight .
for me it's getting a bit to much like a floyd mayweather fan club here rather than a boxing forum, for me manny brings excitement to fights and as long as he's still got it i love to watch his fights ,plus now that JMM has KO'D manny it makes his fights even more exciting as you're not sure who will win 100%.
