The_budweiser Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 One thing i like about Ortiz is he allways seems calm and relaxed and believe in his own ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBride Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 No its just some people are obsessed with trivial matters. Try thinking of a war, you may only have the one enemy, but you might have hundreds of battles during that war, which might be why they put up monuments to remember said battles. Unfortunately for you more people will take notice of Mayweather, and Ortiz, than will care what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Mayweather's 40-1, not 40-0 or 41-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for you more people will take notice of Mayweather, and Ortiz, than will care what you think. It's hardly a trivial matter, it's just a factual wrong, a lie if you will. You win a war, the deaths in war are counted once, you don't count any who died in war twice. People will take care of the famous person, it doesn't, however, make them right.

WelshDevilRob Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Again with the 41 have tried...and this is from a reporter...is this a case of if someone says something often enough others will start to repeat it?... It doesn't seem a hard concept to grasp. 41 have tried. 1 guy had two goes but it adds up the same. 41 tried to beat him and one guy tried twice - it seems ok to me rather than a fundamental fact that needs to be argued over. We get your point and technically you are right but we all know what he means. Let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again 40 have tried to beat, had 41 tried and one guy tried twice Mayweather would be 42-0 not 41-0, see they don't even add up the same! like you said it's a fundamental fact, like Pacquiao has won 2 world titles at catchweights, it's a fundamental fact, though it's something that keeps getting misreported.

We get it. 41 times he proved he couldn't be beat. 40 tried in 41 bouts. I think Floyds original comment lean't more to game plans - 41 game plans and no win. Ok, one of them got a 2nd chance but had two different plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBride Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hehehe I think its hilarious people getting their knickers in a twist over nothing. Rob is right he was referring to formulae, game plans call it what you like. More than anything it shows he doesn't give a toss about their names. On a side note sometimes in my act I'll sing a song called You're In My Heart, and there is a line that goes " you're Celtic / United, but baby I've decided," coming from Stepney, i dont give a toss about Celtic, or Man Utd, so I change it to West Ham United, as it sits in perfectly. If ever there is a complaint it is always from a Scot, or Northern Irish ( obviously catholic ) who demands to know why I didn't sing exactly the same words as Rod Stewart, and when I explain that I dont care who he supports, I follow West Ham and thats why I sing that, they never let it go, until in the end you have to be rude and say something along the lines of " he also fucks Penny Lancaster mate, you wanna ring up and ask him if I can have a go ?

gavpowell Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Nobody's getting their knickers in a twist, it's just some of us are correcting a misleading statement, and you're as defensive as Mayweather for no obvious reason. Are you telling me every single fight he's been in someone had a different game plan to all the others? I doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBride Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Yes they are getting their knickers in a twist. " misleading statement " is a perfect example. Saying there are WMD's in Iraq, ( when there wasn't ) is a fucking misleading statement. Not a how many people have tried to beat an unbeaten fighter as opposed to how many bouts he's had. Some of you need to get a life, hanging on every word Mayweather says, so that you can dispute them. Oh, and yes I do think the vast majority of Mayweathers opponents, and their trainers, have studied tapes of him and " seen flaws " in their own minds anyway, and devised plans to exploit them.

Saying there are WMD's in Iraq, ( when there wasn't ) is a f***** misleading statement. Not a how many people have tried to beat an unbeaten fighter as opposed to how many bouts he's had. Those are both misleading statements, it's just one is potentially a lot more serious than the other. And I don't think that Mayweather is intentionally misrepresenting his record, which is another difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
