Boo'd through the whole weigh-in. Conner says he looks blown out and full of water.

Fighters cut weight. They drain all the water out of their body to get down to an agreed upon weight then they re-hydrate and fight the next day.

The idea is you have a weight and size advantage if you can cut a lot of weight.

They massively dehydrate themselves before weighing in to get a lower weight to meet retarded requirements.

His father fought his uncle and won, and his uncle then came to shoot Mayweather Sr. during which time Mayweather used his son as a shield and was eventually shot in the leg. That derailed Sr's career and he put his effort into his son.

Anyone who thinks this is """"""""fair"""""""" is literally retarded. It's nothing but a huge cash grab and everyone is buying it.

Floyd is smart. He will ONLY fight fighters he KNOW he can beat. That's why he refused to fight Manny in his prime and only after he got older and was out of boxing for awhile before he blew him out.

All I know is McGregor knocked out Jose Aldo Jr. A guy I thought could never be beaten in MMA. He was a champ and undefeated. He was a killer. Look up his highlights.

Mcgregor put him down in one punch and Aldo is a Brazilian that would send Mayweathers whole crew running.

He'll win this shit. Floyd is old and doesn't know what's coming.

No. You're retarded and obviously new to boxing. Mayweather set up retarded and ridiculous deals that no one would agree to it. Manny was a top tier boxer and deserved his fair share. Mayweather avoided the fight by trying to negotiate an extreme deal he knew Manny wouldn't agree to or anyone else for that matter.

Oh you mean when everyone was accusing Manny of roiding because of his inexplicable lean weight gain and Floyd demanded a reasonable drug test? Or do you mean the time where manny said it was against his religion to piss into a cup? Or the time when manny refused to accept a purse that was smaller than the one he was worth, only to eventually accept an even smaller purse? Or how about the time where Floyd is actually older than Manny so the idea of floyd waiting for manny to leave his prime is ridiculous.

Why do boxfags keep repeating this? MMA is far more physically demanding than Mayweather's normal tactic of skipping around floating the odd love-tap onto his opponent to tally up points.

If anyone is getting tired in the 4th round here, it's Mayweather when he discovers what a real fight is like.

First off, Manny Pacquia shouldn't have been allowed to fight in the first place because he busted his arm a month prior to the fight and hid the medical information from the Fighting Commission because he wanted to bank on the payday of the fight.

Secondly, if you knew anything about boxing, Pacquiao was way past his prime at that point, and Floyd only accepted the fight because he knew it was a breezy win and his legacy wouldn't actually have been challenged. That's the knock on Floyd, he dodged everyone in their primes because he's a bitch. That's why he's been able to maintain his "undefeated" record.

And lastly, McGregor is taller, heavier, and far more durable than Pacman was, and he's wayyyyyyy younger than Floyd.

Honestly. Don't sleep on McGregor. I still think Floyd will win because he'll play maximum defensive boxing and run from any sign of danger but score high like he usually does. But McGregor is strong and far more durable than anybody he's faced thus far.

Mayweather has literally never knocked anyone out.

That's not his fighting style. He's a jab and run kind of fighter. His defensive technique might be the greatest in boxing history. But he's not a striker never has been and his punch isn't particularly strong.

Meanwhile, McGregor comes from a league where he gets kicked and kneed in the head repeatedly. I don't think he has to fear body blows or punches of that power from 40 year old Floyd.

because mayweather has damaged sensitive hands. he has an active threat of breaking them if he actually connects with force. that and he's never really injured a fighter, he's best at points hits. points hits are just taps, he connects he gets a point. he doesn't have to actually rock his opponent. in MMA you actually have to make those hits count. few fighters fight on points in the ufc, hoping for a decision.

Another thing people seem to forget is boxers hit hard almost all the time. Even a defensive boxer like floyd.

Ah I see. Everybody uses a word in a particular way, they go to a dictionary to verify that use. But you, the only individual that doesn't, disagrees with it.

So clearly the word only takes on the meaning that you gave it. I understand now.

You're just dumb.

This is lexicographese for "wrong"

Why are you losing your shit over this? You misused a word, one which has a well-known literal definition and another usage which is well-known to be incorrect, and now you appear to have had an aneurysm upon being called out

Pro tip: Words are the communicative property we devised to get our points across to people. When people, the greater number than the individual, use a particular word some fashion, the abstract "word" takes on that meaning.

You literal dumbass.

>Everybody uses a word in a particular way, they go to a dictionary to verify that use

You go to a dictionary to be told how to properly use a word, not to be told how the word is most often misused and encouraged to do so as well.

Prescriptive dictionaries aren't in vogue at the moment because it means that it's hard to nail down definitions for words specific to the tech industry, but the weakness of the descriptive dictionary is that well-established words begin to lose their meaning to misuse.

Using the word "literally" when you mean to say "practically", or "figuratively", or "essentially", or "basically", or "generally" is just allowing retarded valley girl slang to arbitrarily hamstring your vocabulary.

First, give this a read:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/misuse-of-literally

Second, you keep saying its being "misused" but your defining the word in your own regard. Who are you to say that it is hard-defined as only for the exact or precise, and that any other definition or common use of it is impractical?

Why are YOU the one that gets to define what a word is? And that when people use it a certain way to communicate some property, they're "misusing" it.

Words take on the definitions people give them. There is no abstract law of reality that says a word can only mean a particular thing forever.

Languages evolve you know.
>>
>>86881033

>Pro tip: Words are the communicative property we devised to get our points across to people.

Pro tip: The words we came up with have specific meanings because they are used to describe real-world phenomena that exist independently of language. When people, of any number, misuse words, they are forced to either find a new word to describe the old meaning, or risk losing any way to specifically describe that particular phenomenon in their language.

If "literally" ceases to mean "literally", then we lose any way to say "literally" when we actually mean it literally.

An age-old defense of poor writing.

If you can come up with a new word to express the formal, literal meaning of the word "literally", then we can talk about using it to mean things it doesn't actually mean at the moment.

There are things called "synonyms." And there always is the prospect of coming up with a new word.

The world isn't static. And neither is the word.

They don't always change for the better, especially when it comes to new forms of language.

At some point, all the people who actually like to read will regret ever letting postmodernists near the dictionaries.

No they won't, because they'll translate the original tongue to the common one.

You can't be this fucking oblivious to the signs he's gonna put the nigger in an mental ward because he knocked him so hard he forgot how to talk, forgot how to talk but at least he learned how to read the newspaper FLOYD LOST TO POTATO NIGGER, he's gonna put that little nigger boi in a coffin and send him off to yeezy heaven, he old money now ala bin money and everybody wants that hot young potato money.

Much like Homer and the Bible, even the best translations of Beowulf lose some important concepts in translation. There are words in it that fell out of use but which we need a whole phrase in modern English to communicate their meaning, although to be fair there are also whole phrases that we could now communicate as single words.

The true problem I have is that changing the word "literally" to have a non-literal definition is almost poetic in its summation of the laziness of the modern vocabulary. Of all the words to change, it's the one that really says the most about how little we care about reading the truth any more, and how little we trust anything that even purports to be objectively true.

There are probably a dozen words that are pretty common and could be easily swapped in for "literally" in any situation where it's being "used for emphasis", but people just don't. I think maybe it's some psychological effect where using a word that implies complete certainty makes them feel that their statement is more true than it really is, kind of like how you used it yourself earlier in this thread.

That, and using a word that is supposed to mean the exact truth gives it the property that it MUST be true, hence why people use it for exaggeration.

It's supposed to be believed as truth. The fact that it isn't intrinsically implies you must be exaggerated. Its nuance is in its irony.

"Exaggerating" is a very generous way of describing "lying".

>>
>>86882082
That's exactly why it's understood by people as exaggerating.

You're calling it a truth as you imply that it's a lie. That's specifically the reason it's interpreted as exaggeration.

>>
>>86882082
>>86882119
And I mean, isn't that what exaggerating is? Lying?

You're stating something as truth, while knowing full well that it is not.

By saying, "I swear dude, there was like 100 people there" when in fact you know there wasn't, you're lying. But the point of the statement isn't the lie itself, but that you are stressing your point by going so far as to lie and overestimate (or underestimate) what actually took place.

Using literally with its inverse meaning is just a more direct way of showing that you are lying.
>>
>>86882119

That only works if people already know that what you're saying isn't (formally)literally true.

If I wrote a blog about betting on sports, and put in my article this week that "Mayweather has literally never knocked anyone out.", how many people do you honestly think would read that as "exaggeration", rather than "lying"?

I fundamentally disagree. To me it seems to be just as much of a way of attempting to obfuscate that you're lying, because people might actually assume that you meant to use the word correctly and know what you're talking about.
>>
>>86882356
That's obviously why context matters? We're informally speaking, and are all a few keyboard clicks away from verifying something. So I have no qualms about making a statement with a suspect claim, when I know that either everyone here already knows the truth or they can look up the truth in 10 seconds.

Obviously, if you're doctoring something more legitimate or professional, you would use more specific and formal definitions, OR if you did use literally in an exaggerating tone, you provide the proper context for it (such as putting in parentheses beside the claim that Floyd has, in fact, knocked out a boxer (like I'm doing here)).

We aren't robots, we can use reasoning and verify claims, and can understand nuance and sarcasm. Have more faith in people's intelligence, anon.

That question mark tells me everything about why you used the word "literally" where you did, and it's just as I suspected.
