I just watched that NY press conference and I don't know who pissed me off more, Floyd or that idiot promoter. Talkin about your not gettin in with B-Hop, Shane, Vargas or Pernell, your gettin in with the "truth". Then to listen to Floyd get up there and say he's not handpicking fighters past their primes and using them as a trophy the way Oscar did Chavez. Well last time I checked Oscar has been past his prime for several years now. Yet Floyd is calling this the biggest fight of his career. Listen, I never saw Floyd fight until the first Castillo fight which pissed me off because I thought he lost. Since then I have grown to respect his fight game because he is one of the best pound for pound ever but, he has flaws a lot of flaws. His two biggest flaws in my opinion are his weak hands and his chin.
Speed does not equal victory, its heart, will, skill, and experience. Personally Floyd has never faced any fighter that has as much of an ego as he does until now. A fighter that has more experience and a fighter that can box and brawl. Floyd said he would stand there and trade with Baldy and what did he do pot shot and run. That will not work against Oscar because he will chase Floyd and fire shots as he pursues him. Like Roy Jones Floyd doesn't like to get hit why? Because he can't take the punishment. I believe Floyd will try to fight Oscar the way he fought Gatti until he feels those body shots and a couple of straight rights and left hooks. Then it will be a cat and mouse game and the crowd will start to get pissed because all this shit he's talking now but come fight night he will running like Carl Lewis. He has to win this fight Oscar has nothing lose he's been fighting once a year for the past 3 years now. As much as I would like to say I lived in someone era in which they were undefeated but I really would like 2 see oscar stretch his ass out.

Oh, OK then. Keep saying stuff that you don't back up. It sells me on a fight. There's a reason people booed the Baldomir fight and it wasn't your fighting style. It was the promise of a beating that wasn't even close to being fulfilled or even attempted that created dissapointment.
If the fight is that easy (and it was for you with your high level of ability) and you were in complete control (and you were) and you promised a knockdown (and you did) then at least give it a little try.
I want to like you Floyd, your skills are superb but you don't have the wit to be a trash talker. The ones who are good back up their words. The ones who are good make you laugh. The ones who are good know when to turn it on and off.
Please prove me wrong and batter DLH into a TKO. If you even try, I'll give you all the credit you deserve.
Floyd says that he hurt his hand. Baldomir's face was pink and had a small cut on the bridge of his nose. He was touched. He isn't going to KO anyone if his hands are injured.
Well you guys were fooled into buying that fight. With Baldomir being that slow you really thought Floyd was gonna stand and trade with him? In some interviews he said toe-to-toe battle, and in others he said hit and not get hit. Floyd is not going to take unnecessary punishment just to prove it to critics. He doesn't care what you think of him anyway. If you wanna say he ran then ok he ran, Carlos was too slow to beat him even if he standed right in front of him. He ran ONE fight. Some of you idiots say it like he ran his entire career.
Mayweather will talk this talk to the end, and then abandon those sentiments for a safety first approach when Oscar is actually standing across the ring from him. Later, when fans are dissapointed, and Brian Kenny is confronting him about it on television, he'll retreat behind a cheap and porous barricade of wealth.
The only reason Kenny will not proceed to verbally rip him a new one is concern for his own professionalism.
Mayweather builds up more rage because of the criticism and take it out on his next opponent during the press conferences. By the time he gets to the fight however, this apparent rage of his has been seemingly depleted and he boxes yet another cautious fight.
Etc., etc. (you didn't think he'd actually retire did you?)

Of course Floyd is going to say he's going to trade, or knock guys out.
It doesn't exactly made good trash talk, or help promote a big fight, if you say "Well, I plan to go in there and fight a defensive fight and win a decision.....I'm going to win a wide decision over you in a dull fight".
Its not an either/or situation you know? He could just say that he is going to do whatever it takes to win, or just that he IS going to win. You dont have to lie to not sound boring.
Floyd doesn't give a damn if you like him or not. He's trying to sell a fight. Floyd didn't run from Baldomir he did potshot, but its not his fault Baldomir is slow as hell. Judah should have taken care of business and beat Baldomir.
How can you say he didn't run from Baldomir? Thats like saying Hatton didn't Clinch in the Urango fight.
Mayweather is just arrogant. He doesnt have the charisma or the wit, therefore hes just annoying. But I "like" him as a fighter for what he does in the ring. he fucks people up.
Ive just youtubed to see some old PBF fights. Angel Manfredy was the one i just watched and i cant believe how early it was stopped. Manfredy was being elusive and still punching back and the ref stops it. Unbelievable. In the old days they had to peel you off of the canvas.
once again for the record, mayweather has always said, the less you get hit, the longer you last in the sport of boxing. it's no secret his dad trained him to be a defensive fighter while he was grwoing up which he still is to this day. what's really wrong with this? not a damn thing. floyd mayweather is a great technician, and a natural boxer. he is a smart fighter. he reminds me of eminem when em raps. em sits down and works on his craft like a madman until it's perfected and he does what he has to do when he is a battle or beef to defeat his opponent, which is why he's still undefeated in his artform also. they are just concious artists wanting to be the best at what they do and they are the best at what they do.
floyd did stand a trade with carlos in round 6 and he buckled carlos and carlos wabbled and almost stumble to the canvas when they exchanged at the end of the round. floyd picks and chooses what he feels is the right time to stand a trade, and he picks the right time to potshot and combo. he's a smatr fighter, and who cares what peoplle think about his fighting style because it's gotten this far in his career. every top notch fighter wants to fight floyd because they know he is the best fighter in the sport, and they believe they have what it takes to defeat him, but my oh my, how wrong they are because floyd is no fool, he studies their fighting styles even if he admits he doesn't, he does and knows them like the back if his hand. floyd is a living legend and the top fighters in the sport are doing nothing but confirming it when they call him out. they want to fight the best, and floyd mayweather is the best p4p, no questions asked.
Of course Floyd is going to say he's going to trade, or knock guys out.
It doesn't exactly made good trash talk, or help promote a big fight, if you say "Well, I plan to go in there and fight a defensive fight and win a decision.....I'm going to win a wide decision over you in a dull fight".
Thank you.

the general idea is on spot,
however
1) it is usually the case that people do not like to get hit, even if they can take the punishment, because getting hit generally hurts,
moreover getting hit repeatedly costs you future mental activity.
so the part in bold is bullshit
2) mayweather has to say bullshit like i am going to stand, trade and fight to sell the fight.
I would do it too. if it meant an extra million dollar.
I think he would actually like to get in the conference i am going to make this guy look like a fool and stuff like that, but then would you buy the fight? this is the "pea problem"? mayweather is trying his own solution at that.

Wordsmith has just dunked his brush of correctness into the correct-can, and painted the walls of this forum a lovely shade of truth.
There is noway in hell that PBF is underestimating DLH. People are claiming PBF is no1 and PBF wont take that responsibility lightly. He will want to deserve that acclaim.
But i hope he wont retire as well. Or at least makes a trip to Manchester before retiring.
Oscar really couldn't retaliate, Floyd wouldn't be still lol. Shit was funny Mayweather was acting out big time. He was saying some funny shit. One thing you know though is that Mayweather is taking this fight seriously. But it is really pissing me off that he keeps saying it's his last fight. As a fan I don't want to see him retire so soon. But I know he has to be bluffing. I hope he's not underestimating Oscar. Oscar is no pushover at all. He will be ready, he is a smart fighter as well and has great technique. Honestly if Oscar focused on boxing instead of other things his career story may have been different.
If he he wins though this erases any other past dissapointments. I just hope it's a good fight. I don't want to see Floyd out there just embarassing DLH. That's my biggest concern, hopefully Oscar can stay with Floyd and be agressive.
Yep why does he keep saying he is going to duke it out like a man? Why dont he just be honest and say he will dance. Ali said it. Nothing wrong with dancing if that is what youre good at.
Never could come up w/ anything to say, except for "sit down! sit down!" which made him look soooooooo gay it was rediculous! lol
lmao yeah he sounded like a proper whiney queen
what made me the angriest, was how DLH was such a little bitch during the whole thing.

Dunno, I respect people who dont rise to baiting. Especially of the idiotic kind. Everyone knows that Floyd isnt going to stand and trade with De La Hoya. Nobody disrespects him for it, because it would be the wrong thing to do if he wants to win the fight and its not his style. The idiotic thing is pretending/making out like he will.

Oscar's new at this consistant (bull)shit-talking, as opposed to Mayweather, who seemingly spouts it to the public daily....
i also find it ironic that when it doesn't seem like as much was covered from the big boxing sites at the Miami conference, Floyd is much kinder in his words than was the case at the first one.. it really only further proves my point that Floyd's pretty smart when it comes to selling this fight..

K-Ball some people are not good at bagging and talking shit.. Like me for example I am pretty quiet when it comes to talking shit but once its on then I let my fists do the talking. You can't knock him though.. Its better that he kept his mouth shut then if he would have started talking shit also and sounded stupid!
