kiss of death

A lot of blacks will come out, buy tickets and fervently support him while many white will cough up the bucks to see him get beat.

Like promoters, savvy boxers also know how to prey upon fans' emotions and sell a bout. Hopkins does it well.
He probably chuckles at the naive getting worked up over his so-called "racial" comments, which were orchestrated and likely cleared ahead of time with Calzaghe's blessing.

we dont need him making an already racially sensitive event even more racial. Just read the ESPN comments on the Pac-May stories, its pretty much black vs. white. Obviously Floyd has a lot of black fans and a lot people (who happen to be white) obviously dont like Mayweather. We dont need people fighting their racial wars on a sporting event.

But were smarter , we would find a way to cheat and put the odds back with us , its just the nature of things ,,, Of course every one has a mate who can beat up the black guys but by and large i think the black guys , tend to be a bit more athletic and a lot more agressive , . heard they got bigger dicks too ,, but heh , who cares , ,, has long has they don't go round beating me up , or boning my missis , i'm not to fussed .

Ridiculous. The best fighter on the planet is an eastern European. The 2nd best is his brother. There are some racial stereotypes in boxing due to genetics, obvious ones being Asain & Mexican dominating smaller weight classes but that's about the extent of it. It's boxing, the beauty of it many styles are effective. It's not sprinting or long distance running.

Ok so we talk heavyweights , naturaly being the best because of size , we concede that the top 2 are eastern european , but the previous years the top 2 were predominatly black , and go past the top 2 , have a look at the top 15 how many are black ,, . No need for the whitey to feel insecure cos the black man can fight a bit better , there bone structure is more suited to fighting , don't cut has easy ect ect . Generally speaking a rougher up bringing

But it don't matter , because its only boxing , we make better soldiers , i mean just have a look at the american wild west ,, John Wayne , kicked ass , we all know that the black man can't ride horses has good has us whiteys, so make shit calvarly men . Swimming its a known fact we can swim better so we make better navy seals ,

In the scope of things it does'nt really matter too much does it . Hopkins says what he ays ,, People buy tickets , and everyones a winner ESPECIELLY HOPKINS , . . Makes me think perhaps that paticular black man is actually smarter than us whiteys has well .

Has Teddy ever picked a winner

8-4 Mayweather UD, maybe a judge doing a silly 6-6 to make it a MD for whatever reasons.

But I feel Mayweather will be more aggressive than we have seen recently and will KO Pacquiao in the round 10. Pacquiao will run into a straight right hand like his 3 KO defeats.

Nacho Beristain: "Pacquiao beats him up".



“It’s a very good, important fight but that fight should not happen,” stated Beristain. “Because I believe Pacquiao will beat Mayweather. You’re gonna take away the glory that has made Mayweather these past years. Mayweather’s style – when he fights someone that pressures him and throws a lot of punches – he just beats him up.”
When asked if it would be an easy win for Pacquiao, Beristain answered: “It won’t be an easy fight but Pacquiao will win the fight. Pacquiao will definitely win.”

Nacho also thought Canelo would beat Floyd. JMM, however, after being in the ring with them both, says Mayweather will win. So does Oscar, Hatton, and Mosley. Abel Sanchez says Manny makes too many mistakes that Floyd will make him pay for. Buddy McGirt also says Mayweather will win, but it will be closer than if they fought a few years earlier.

feel free not to post in my thread sackface.

Among those caught up in the fervent, pre-fight buzz is former heavyweight champion George Foreman, who predicts Pacquiao will win by decision.

"Pacquiao has the edge … Mayweather makes up [rounds] later, [but] Pacquiao stays ahead," Foreman said.

A few years ago Shane gave Manny the edge.

At the end of the day, even as a trainer, it's just their opinion. How many of them picked Tarver to KO Jones? Actually, in all three fights, Tarver seemed to just have Roy's number.

True. This thread is just part of the build up fun.

Well 50 cent just placed 1.6 million on Floyd.
I thought they hated each other again?

Been ragging on Floyd for months, even calling Floyd scared to death...but when it is time to place a bet, it's Money?

Whoa!

I doubt he's much of a gambler but he should have waited it out. Signs are odds will tighten up. Some people reckin by the time the fights come the asians will have hit Pacquiao so hard he'll go into the fight as favourite.

That's because for all the ish 50 talks he knows that Floyd is more intelligent and skillful in the ring and will win this easily, he reminds me of Wesley Snipes character in Passenger 57; "Always Bet On Black"

I had a dream that Mayweather demolished Manny in the first round with some lethal uppercuts. Then Manny sucker punched Mayweather after he was named the victor.

50 cent also went head to head with Kanye West on who could get the most first week sells and promised it would be his last album if he did. He lost to Kanye of all people and came out with plenty of albums after that.

Cotto picks Manny. This shocked me.

Cotto's english really sucks. I thought his English was better than that. Maybe he was drunk.

I remember Hatton saying he always felt Pacquiao would beat Floyd until he watched Pac vs Mosley. Even though he won every round watching Mosley fustrate Pac by running made Hatton change his pick to Floyd.
