Pretty Boy Floyd has been talking a lot of $hit recently about MMA. He went so far as to say that he had 8 year olds in his gym that hit harder than Rich Franklin.
I figured that he was simply trying to hype up his fight this past Saturday (the one that aired at the same time as UFC 103) so he could get more PPV buys.
However, the amusing thing turns out to be...
A boxer who forced his opponent to fight up 14 lbs (Marquez is usually 130) and who claims to be the best pound for pound fighter in the world...our boy Floyd Mayweather...failed to even make weight.
Thats right. The fight was scheduled for 144lbs. Marquez weighed in at 142lbs and PBF weighed in at 146lbs.
What a douchebag. At least Franklin and Belfort made weight!
Then, Mayweather couldn't even finish his much naturally smaller opponent. It went to a decision. Belfort didn't have that problem.
Boxing will die, MMA will dominate...why? Because MMA is more fast-paced, more exciting, more physical, and MMA yields way better KOs. Sure, MMA stars don't have boxers hands...but I bet they have better hands than any boxers ground game.
Boxing fans (and fighters) should enioy their sport in the short time it has left and keep their mouth shut about MMA...or they can step in the octagon.
I would pay to see Jens Pulver swap a few blows with PBF and then take Mayweather to the ground and pound the crap out of him...might keep that mouth shut next time.
