Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders "Living Like a Monk" To Get in Top Form

[Combat Talk Radio]

We'll see bro. I got Saunders. Bump this thread after the fight.

Don't misunderstand, I'm cheering Saunders on...but a leopard can't change his spots, bro.

He's on a long stroll off a short pier, and it's going to catch up with him. It's like watching a white Tyson without the knockouts leading up to the McBride fight.

what about this one.....

nothing has changed except there are less police chasing me and that’s because I’m a bit fat

McGregor Fury and Saunders are the best entertainers in boxing

McGregor and BJS have both been influenced a lot by Tyson Fury, if we're talking about trash talk and persona in front of the cameras. BJS has always been gobby, but he's become a lot more self confident and entertaining since he started hanging out with Tyson.

The first time I ever saw Conor was at a presser for a UCF fight around 2014/15, and the first thing that came into my head was that he was trying to mimic the way Fury behaved at pressers ... swaggering around, puffing his chest out and jutting his beard, talking all kinds of crazy trash and insulting and antagonising everybody in sight, not just his opponent.

I then decided that what Conor was going for was a composite of Tyson Fury and Floyd Mayweather. At the first presser for his fight with Floyd, realising there was no point trying to compete with the real thing, Conor abanded his Floyd impersonation and turned into a mini Tyson Fury. He even directly stole some of Tyson's lines: "I'm here, and I'm going to say whatever the **** I want to say, and do whatever the **** I want to do, because there's nobody who can do anything stop me."

BJS also blatently used one of Tyson's favourite lines of attack at the Kurtsidze presser: "I have no worries about this guy at all .. none at all, because .. no disrespect .. but if I can't beat the likes of him, then I have no business being in this sport anyway"

Haven't we learned from Manny, Kovalev and Chocolatito that your trainer don't mean a damn thing if you the fighter don't show up?

Moving up to Sheffield, away from all the distractions that were keeping him from training properly before, will make a big difference to the way BJS performs in the ring. You could already see the physical difference in him during the presser, and he's only a couple weeks into camp at this point.

I think that is real close, and a good description

who woulda thought.....

2 gyppo's and a crazy Irishman rule boxing

I hope that Tyson is back soon and they all keep winning

All of them .. including Conor?

the only thing bad about Conor winning would be hearing MMA fanboys spout on about MMA being better than boxing

I doubt that it would hurt the sport

but yea, he won't

What's going on with you? I thought you were a big Floyd fan .. a "flomo even? How come you wouldn't be upset if your favourite boxer loses to a raw novice?

I think it would be very bad for boxing's image and standing with casual sports fans, especially in the States, if Conor somehow managed to win. Dana White is always subtly pushing the idea that the best combat athletes are in the UFC nowadays, not boxing, and Floyd losing would cement that notion in the heads of many sports fans. I can even see a Conor victory creating a surge in the popularity of MMA and the UFC here in the UK, and possibly diverting interest and money away from boxing, just when the sport is booming here like never before.

So I'm TMT for this fight - the real TMT - no doubt about that.

I am a big Floyd fan

just like I am a big fan of many/most fighters

but I am a much bigger fan of boxing, and I am old

so..... many fighters have come, and many fighters have gone..... Floyd is just one of them

boxing - and me - will be around long after Mayweather retires

a loss to McGregor would not hurt him, or the sport..... and it would be fkn entertaining

then we wouldn't have to listen to..... "TBE, undefeated, blah blah"..... for the rest of our lives

but yea, he won't lose to McGregor..... although the fight will be more competitive - at least early - than people think

Floyd won't walk through McGregor, or blow him out, but he will win

what may have given you that impression..... is that I will not stand by idly while posters besmirch the fighters or the sport..... no Siree, not me

and pacfans are by far the worst at bashing (criticizing without merit) Mayweather, along with MANY other fighters who copped it along the way

outside the ring, I couldn't give a shht about Mayweather, or any other fighter..... some fighters, I cannot help but wish them the best (regardless as to how good they are, and regardless as to where they come from) because they are great guys..... guys like Usyk/Shabranskyy, real characters..... Mayweather is not really one of those guys, but his standing within the sport is undeniable now

it is what it is

[Lou Cipher]

I am a big dong fan
