Arguably more so with Mayweather who enjoyed stacking things in his favour with home advantage, US referees/judges, ring size, gloves, etc. But we're supposed to believe he drew the line at PEDs, because he said so presumably. Even though he was an insecure, compulsive liar who worships money....

It's always Mayweather fans doing it. And yet even Mayweather was a Pacquiao fan before they became rivals. Jumping with excitement at the Morales fight.

Mayweather was boring and inactive and his most rabid disciples have a two prong strategy to deal with this:

1. Downplay Pacquiao's more

Focus on your guy. He should fight Kabayel rather than wait for the lame email belt.

Mayweather took his two-year strategic 'retirement' after the Hatton fight to recover from his 'roid abuse which had the convenient benefit of allowing him to avoid Cotto.

We can all make unfounded accusations....

Your username is cringe....

[Coverdale]

Yet no one must speak even the mildest criticism of their sacred cow.

The forum should just mass ignore TheProudLunatic (aka BodyBagz). It would at least force him to make another account....

[Coverdale]

He should give it a rest, it's boring....

[Coverdale]

I'm always bemused by these narratives people repeat unthinkingly. There were two years between the two fights, with the rematch originally set for 2023 before twice being delayed by Taylor's injuries and a WBO mandatory. Catterall had two fights in between.

Were those two year's Jack's...

He engages in what's known as ******* argumentation where he posts walls of text containing weak and unstructured arguments. To properly respond to his large posts would require an essay where one first dispels the many faulty premises, explaining why each is irrelevant before moving on to any substantive...

[Coverdale]

He had the gall to accuse me of making threads to reaffirm a confirmation bias he had, somehow, established I held. Then invented some conspiracy theory that the recent spate of Lennox Lewis threads were somehow passive-aggressively aimed at him. The guy's ego is off the charts, he was not remotely...

Another resentful American? Nothing has any intrinsic meaning, if you really want to be philosophical about it.

I doubt there is a third fight but if there is, those interested will watch it, and you can polish the cache of guns in your farmhouse basement ready to shoot the UN with....

ShoulderRoll is determined to believe Americans are more sophisticated than the British, when by any objective measure the US population is the most ignorant and uncultured in the western hemisphere.

It's the only western country where Christian fundamentalism remains a significant force,...

I hear the Jake Paul - Mike Tyson rematch is on with McDonald's as the main sponsor because they sold a record number of Big Macs to your obese population last time....

[Coverdale]

Perhaps you should get in contact with Team Catterall and offer your guidance. You seem an expert.

Anyway, moving on from the standard negativity and abuse from losers in the comments above, this is an excellent matchup. Jack will need to improve his output if he is to get the decision...

[Coverdale]

Good post and I largely agree. I would only add that you're possibly focusing on the boxing fans you're aware of on the internet too much. It draws out the most negatively extreme people possible so will give you a skewed perception of things.

[Coverdale]

Yes it is and that will remain the case even if he wins. It represents a stunning failure of imagination in my opinion....

[Coverdale]

Bill Haney is just awful. The New York flop was like a week ago, show some emotional discipline before running to the media to negotiate.

[Coverdale]

I can't believe he actually cares that much....

[Coverdale]

Boots and Barrios are TBRB #1 and # 2 respectively with the championship vacant. It's a weak division.

It will be a respectable win if Pacquiao pulls it off, nothing more, nothing less.

George winning the true world heavyweight championship at 45...

IBF trying to encourage inactivity again, like with the Opetaia situation at the end of 2023.

billeau2 - punishing fighters for fighting, brilliant huh?...
