Thought that's what happened in the last one? He made it 12 rounds but lost and was happy
Jokes on you! Thats every Rocky movie, ever... No matter who wins or loses, everybody is happy cause they tried their best. A good life lesson for Sumo...

Lol as maxx said yeah. The only thing cool was they treated it like it happen today but maybe they were always like that? It's the only one I've watched near its release. But yeah, it had espn and sportscenter and modern analysts and they talked about how rocky was old and washed up and he was going up against today's heavy weight champion and he just had too much power, too good an athlete blah blah blah and Rocky wouldn't last. then he lasted and everyone was happy, even the champ who couldn't put him away

Krich put us on to that tidbit. Something about creed's son.
I think it was Borg who broke that news and I only pointed out that it's going to be mostly about Apollo's son.
Kinda weird the timing, right? Movie coming about about a washed up actor/boxer fighting a much younger faster better fighter in an attempt to maintain relevancy, at the same time that a real life washed up boxer finally agrees to fight a much younger faster louder boxer in an attempt to maintain relevancy...

Coincidence?? I think not.
This fight is a few years lat...if it even happens but I still wouldn't call either of the two washed up.

mayweather is the current pound for pound king and pac is still ranked right up there with the best of them at 140-147 pounds

I think there are a lot of ignorance in the failed attempts to make this fight happen numerous times

it was both their faults at different times. public perception has it that Floyd's the bad guy, he's scared and ducked back for over 6 years. manny is the good guy, always wanted this fight and did everything in his power

those are way too general of statements and most just listen to hearsay and run with it

I'm not asking about public perceptions and frankly I don't care about it. I'm asking do you feel he actually wants the fight.

Don't start up with the circular posts while not even answering the question. You just Mayweather'd my post with a bunch of misdirections. Talked about people knowledge of the situation, talked about perceptions, gave no insight to your thoughts as it pertained to my question. Well done

calm down killer. i'm just throwing it out there and responded to your answer

you thinking he's scared is probably due to public perception. you are part of the public. and the reason for mentioning public perception is because a lot of people will answer your question due to it when they've probably never researched the details of why the fight never happened sooner

no I don't believe either guy is scared of anyone in their weight classes

it's more of what people have stated, that the greed and corruption and egos and things like that is what stopped this fight from happening sooner

I've never seen a ts have so many tight rules to his thread. Do this, but don't do that, stop this, stop that, only say this and talk about this in this way.

stop whining so much, seriously, and let people take the thread in whatever direction they want AS STATED IN THE OP!!! BY YOU!!!!

lol I seriously asked a question and you didn't bother to answer it. You didn't need my question if you wanted to rant about perceptions. just my 2 cents.

Hey man, what you think about this girls smile? Well you see she's got a nice booty, gorgeous curves and an amazing personality but those are all overrated and make people bias about her smile.


I'm like hellloooooo? But what do you think about her smile?
