Jesus lol I see he looked at the first maidana fight blueprint and he interpreted that as 'have seizure in Floyd's direction'

In reality though that's just an amateur boxer being an amateur boxer.

Ive seen plenty of prospects do the same thing early in their career

Of course not. It's self evident that boxing doesn't work if your opponent is slightly larger than you, completely exhausted, and intent on hugging you. Boxing just has absolutely no answer for these truths.

Lol, you also thought the Jake Paul Askren fight was fixed. Lemme guess, you like the UFC?

But then who would you own epic style with your good thinking?

Youre the one telling everyone theyre stupid for not believing the fights were fixed. The most boring criticism of boxing ever.

It's be strange of me to say this because I can't prove that fights were fixed so the position would be untenable.

There's nothing at all stupid about thinking that training hard for a year will leave you on equal footing with the upper echelons of the profession. Life is an anime.

Have you ever wrestled or boxed? When I wrestled, when they paired me up with someone 30+ lbs heavier than me in practice I couldn't do anything regardless of whether i was more skilled than them or not. The same thing happened when the weight was in the opposite direction.

When boxers go up in weight class, a common question is, 'will their power translate to the higher weight'. More often than not, it doesn't, and that's with guys moving up one weight class, not 3+.

Edit: Does that mean I was thinking Logan Paul would make it through the fight? No, i fully expected Floyd to knock him out. But I also don't think its a conspiracy that Floyd didn't.

lol wtf?

yes i've boxed on and off since i was 15 and had a dozen amateur fights and at my best would have made a middling pro.

i've also done enough bjj so that my cause of death probably won't be headlock. what made me fall in love with bjj was rolling with a 16 year old blue belt boy as a 25 year old man who i outweighed by about 50lbs and i have never felt more helpless in my life.

is that enough to have an opinion?! lol at do you even train bro.

anyway i'll leave you with this quote from middleweight gennady golovkin's wikipedia page:

"Imoesiri said Golovkin routinely dispatched of heavyweights and hit harder than Povetkin"

i assume by 'heavyweights' as well ggg was probably dispatching actual, dangerous professional fighters and not some hobos with a pro record of 0-1, but iono

Ok, fair enough. I wasn't attempting to belittle your knowledge of the sport, just trying to understand where you're coming from.

Did you hear the audio in Mayweathers corner? Was he saying that he 'couldn't land his jab' as a way of obfuscating the fix?

to seasoned professionals? maybe not.

to a literal amateur? yes. easily.

So, was mayweathers chat in his corner between rounds where he seemed frustrated for show?
