I said in the beginning of your sentence.

HERESY said:
You did. The problem however is the "weak side" is not "his back." If his lead foot is already on the outside then it's a wrap no matter what stance Floyd is in.
The advantage goes to the southpaw. No extra movement required, fire away at will.

Weak side is the outside foot, the side, to the back. Are we debating such a small thing lol. I mean I've boxed and I don't understand where we differ. It's the same result. See the diagram Roy vs Toney

HERESY said:
Again, Toney was simply beaten by Jones because Jones understood the stance he was fighting against.
Click to expand...
Okay this is fairly obvious...no disagreement there...See diagram of Jones vs Toney

HERESY said:
And again, the jab is already nullified by the left hook or lead.
Click to expand...
What is the point of this statement?


HERESY said:
He is using the jab as a trap and to gauge not to do what you are saying, which is, jab high and jab low from a high guard and you will have victory. No way.
Click to expand...
I said he jabbed Marquez & Corrales low...show me where I said Floyd used an up & down jab against Judah? Copy and paste please.

HERESY said:
Doubt it. The man is a pro and understands no one is to be overlooked. No one is to be spared and you cant take a shortcut. Floyd has trained, and trained hard, for every single fight so don't discredit him like that bro.

Lol...you gotta lighten up...that was a joke. ...so don't discredit him bro. What!?!

It still depends on where it is used. Which sentence?

That's great that you boxed. My pops did it in the army and my big bro was going to turn pro but turned down a janky contract and gave up on it. I'm just not familiar with the outside foot or something that isn't the lead hand and foot being referred to as "the back". Just because I've never heard of that doesn't make it not true, but like I am saying, I have never heard of that.

What is the point of this statement?

To show that a jab, from a high guard, against a southpaw, the way you described it, is a death wish. Parry the jab with the right, move to the right and throw the left hand. The left hand of the orthodox fighter is already limited at that point, his right hand is totally out of range as the southpaw has moved to the right. But the southpaw fighter is still able to hit the orthodox guy with his left due to where they both are. It's simple human anatomy at that point.

I said he jabbed Marquez & Corrales low...show me where I said Floyd used an up & down jab against Judah? Copy and paste please.
Click to expand...
Who said anything about Judah? I am talking about what you said he needs to do to beat Manny which was

Floyd needs to respect Manny's foot speed and keep him in front...work the jab high low.

And

Pimp it's good. You're a Floyd fan so it's hard to tell if you are serious or not.

Ok so lets be clear about this. Alot of folks said Floyd was scared and would never make the fight and that Manny would knock his out. So now that the fight is here who do yall think will win? I really wanna hear from the haters who said before the fight was made that Floyd would lose and be scared to take the fight. Do yall still feel that way? Just want it to be known up front so no excuses afterwards. Got Em!!
Click to expand...
The only way Floyd will win his fight is if he KOs Pacquiao or if he goes toe to toe with him. I'm sure Floyd can slug it out but he just doesn't. He wants to win un hit. I can see Floyd losing the 1st 4 rounds which is gonna force him to start throwing punches. This is where we all see how good Floyd really is. Cuz we all know Pacquiao is gonna be throwing combos. While Floyd is gonna be ducking n dodging. At some point Floyd will have to throw combos which is exactly what Pac wants. He wants a slugfest. I'm gonna go with Pacquiao UD. I don't think Floyd is gonna react very well with Pacs agression

This is the first time Floyd has fought someone that can match his stamina since Ricky Hatton, with like 15 times the skill. whatever that is worth.

This fight gets made and everyone is a boxing expert all of a sudden.

Now I also get to deal with everyone at work ask me what I think about this fight. Great.

That's the worst part. "Why didn't Mayweather fight Roy Jones though when Jones was the best?" smdh

Over the years talking with people that don't know much about the sport the biggest thing that jumps out is zero concept of weight classes. Today one of my bosses was like yeah it's going to be a great fight, what are they again middleweights? Then I explained they are welterweights, 147 pounds and he's like wow that's really small, you don't see big fights like this with small fellows often. Then I'm saying Tommy Hearns vs Sugar Ray Leonard? Duran vs Leonard? Oscar de la hoya, etc. He's like I thought they were bigger than that? But I suppose I shouldn't complain, boxing needs a good boost with casuals right now.

Right. It brings out the "superbowl" boxing fans (I mostly watch it for the commercials and social atmosphere) where they have no clue what's going on.

If I try to chop it up and say "Did you see that Matthysse fight last night?". I'll get a response like "Ya, but I want to see how he does against Cotto".
Huh? Nevermind...

You might even get the "man, I remember when Mike Tyson was the best" comments soon.

It's alright though. I'm excited for the fight.

MGM Grand Hotels Sold Out In 15 Minutes For 5/2
Posted by: Jake Donovan on 2/20/2015 .



By Jake Donovan

If you’re currently thinking about booking a room in Las Vegas for the May 2 weekend, then you already need to start thinking about a contingency plan.

Floyd Mayweather came dangerously close to breaking the Internet with his official confirmation that the long awaited superfight with Manny Pacquiao was signed and sealed.

Ticket price points have yet to be confirmed, but fans, media and high rollers didn’t waste any time in securing reservations for the fight weekend. Hotel rooms at the MGM Grand—the hosting venue for the May 2 event—were sold out no more than 15 minutes after Mayweather made his announcement through his verified social media account.

Chances are all remaining hotel rooms along the Vegas strip – and perhaps the outskirts of town as well – will be gobbled up in the coming days. Fans can also expect to be left with table scraps by the time tickets finally go on sale.

The event will air live on Pay-Per-View in a joint effort between Showtime and HBO.

I booked my room from May 1-3rd way ahead of time and glad I bet on this happening. I feel sorry for people paying the $500 a night.

Only people with a $250K+ credit line w/MGM can get Floyd/Manny ringside seats. That's crazy.

More like upper management, I suppose. We're a very small company, it's basically like the Star Trek Enterprise. Everyone has their own job to do, no one else interferes.

All signs point to a Mayweather points victory, but I'm hoping he knocks out pacman so I can send the photo to an old phillipino ex-boss of mine.

Other than that, the wait is finally over, whoever wins is better, end of story.
