In my opinion, Mayweather couldn't even walk Leonard's dog, or for that matter talk to him in such a disrespectful way.
Granted Leonard beat on his wife, but a lot of fighters have done that shit before. Not that that makes it acceptable, because if there's one thing I hate it's a guy who hits on girls. However in the years since then Leonard has done some charity work and some other pretty stand-up decent things.
Everybody is entitled to mistakes, and everybody can change.
"If I can change.....and you can change......EVERYBODY CAN CHANGE!!!"
lmao
Shit like this just makes me hate Floyd Mayweather, the person, more and more. He has no class whatsoever, and continues to prove that on a daily basis. Sugar Ray Leonard is an icon within the sport and regardless of what era he came up in he would've been great, even today.
He had more than just raw talent like Floyd, he was also an all around good person. I can't speak for everybody's opinion of the man but I had the opportunity to meet Ray a few years back and can say he was the nicest, most humble fighter I've ever met.
I hope Baldomir knocks Mayweather the fuck out. All he has to do is empploy the gameplan that Castillo did in their first fight. Castillo kicked Mayweather's ass in that fight. However Baldomir isn't nearly the level of fighter that Castillo is.
BWAHAHAHAHA

Don't forget, Sugar Ray Leonard KO'd Floyd's dad when they fought early in Leonard's pro career. Maybe sour grapes towards the guy that beat up his daddy.
There's some excellent pre-title Leonard footage on www.youtube.com of Leonard stopping Price, Chaivarini, and Ranzany. No one can deny he was a great fighter and was properly recognized recently by IBRO as an all time P4P great.
To put it politely, Floyd Jr. needs a few more wins at welterweight and some actual quality names his ledger before he can be compared with Leonard.
Leonard wasn't known for slapping women around.
Sure he was and Leonard even admitted as such during his divorce proceedings with Juanita...
Heck, didn't the 'Beyond the Glory' special on Leonard also mention that he used to physically abuse Juanita...possibly mentioned by Juanita herself?
its not mayweather fault that he makes his opponent look not that good.
and nobody came close in beating mayweather only Castillo once and he couldnt do it the second time.
mayweather act like that so he have the mentallity to be on the top of SRL.
he want to be the best boxer ever been and will be and take the throne from SRL.
truthfully Mayweather will be cool after he retires and accomplishs it.
even Ali thought he was the greatest,
jack johnson would've whooped that ass! dempsey might've ko'ed him. marciano would wear him out.
i personally could'nt call somebody the greatest because there will always be someone who can beat that person. imo, no such thing as the greatest.
now, back to the topic.
That was uncalled for. I mean, even Ali thought he was the greatest, but he still respected fighters before him.
He may of respected fighters before him, he certainly didn't respect his contemporaries.
sugar is right - if floyd keeps his attitude he won't be up there with the greats. not that hagler or hearns for example weren't a cocky bastards though, they just didn't go on and on about it.
oh and hearns is still fighting! the hitman man should give pbf a slap in the mouth.
mayweather is going to be a atg because of how good he looks against ppl from hes era. he aint on the same planet of sugar ray leonard and thers no point in even thinking or debating it
Or a little tap in his chin and down goes Hearns....LOL
That's why I had put equals (=) in there...it could go either way.
His chin wasn't near as bad as you're trying to make it out to be.
Also, Mayweather is far from a power puncher that could drop him at will from one shot.
