LEONARD ELLERBE (Mayweather's boy) SAYS: "However, at the weigh in for tonight's fight, Leonard Ellerbe, lead adviser to Floyd Mayweather Jr, made it clear what team Mayweather thinks about Hatton, dissing Hatton for being a "Joke" and "Overrated."
I SAY..this guy has let his friendship with Little floyd really get to his head...just another guy who lucked out tremedously in being at the right time at the right place with Mayweather..I hate when these wannabe followers, advisors, friends, confidants etc. start getting so comfortable that they talk trash. Hatton is a joke? Hatton may not be able to deal with Mayweather, I know this, but for chunky butt Ellerbee to even go there -when he likely couldn't pound sand, crush a grape, kick a can, or whip cream- is REALLY the definition of a joke
I like Leonard Ellerbe. I met him down in Miami, he was a really cool guy, and he is a smart businessman. He is just saying this stuff to get you guys hyped up like you are now.
Ellerbe had the foresight to know that the bronze medalist was going to be fabulously wealthy?
"Floyd Sr". Now THERE is an objective source.
Listen. I don't know LE. He could be a prince of a guy. He could be a complete cocksucker. But the criticism on here seems as egregious as what he is being criticized of. Odd, no?
He's being criticized for being part of Floyd's "entourage". Nothing more and nothing less. You have promoters, trainers, fathers, managers, and even wives talking trash for other fighters and nothing is said, but because LE is with Floyd he is singled out. How many times has Shane Mosley's wife shot off her mouth about other fighters? And she is praised for it. Plain and simple, this is another chance for haters to attack something Floyd Mayweather.

Dios, I don't know him either. However, discernment can assist one in making a fairly educated opinion about him. I am not a fan of the trash talk that Leonard or any of the Mayweather's does.
I am not privy to the inside dealings. I was just informing that in an interview, Jeff really stated that Leonard befriended him because Floyd was his nephew. He said he was fooled by Leonard because he used to act like he was just cool with Jeff. He (Leonard) used to purchase his tickets to the fight, etc. Jeff then asked Floyd to hire him as a bodyguard and eventually, Leonard and Jeff stopped speaking, with the same happening w/ Floyd to follow.
I can post a link if you'd like. I do not think he sucks penis, but I do think he is a paid entourage member who is an ego stroker. He and Floyd could absolutely stop cursing and using invectives. It's just not necessary.
So, you have made millions of dollars? You have worked closely with the very best in your business? Newspeople seek you out for your opinions?
Congrats on all that.
]So, you have made millions of dollars? NO.
You have worked closely with the very best in your business? Yes
Newspeople seek you out for your opinions? Yes.
One of the funniest caps I've seen on here in a while Bro.
Ellerbe is paid to make Floyd feel better about himself, "tells him he's the man" and maybe on occasion sucks the odd dick here and there. He's made a name for himself by saying negative shit about every fighter except Floyd. I hate people who can't say anything positive about other fighters.
If Floyd was to quit the fight game and dedicate his life to the Church, Ellerbe would be a nobody in the fight game.
Absolutely agree. Except for the dick sucking part.:tapedshut
Floyd's father and uncle Jeff have always stated that Floyd has an entourage of ego strokers and it's really pathetic.
I read an interview where Jeff was stating that originally, he and Ellerbe were friends and that he feels terrible that he even was suckered by Ellerbe. He stated he thought Ellerbe was his friend when Ellerbe was no more than a gold digger who wanted to get in.
I was there that night...this one idiot was really dogging Peter bad..and I told the guy in an IM that it really was Peter..and he was like "Really? I thought it was some guy just pretending" like that made it OK. Peter is actually a BIG boxing fan and knows the game really well...he really just wanted to talk boxing but these guys, most of whom never fought a day in their lives, dogged him and of course he eventually stopped coming back. The JERKS ruin it for themselves because very, very few pro boxers will go to those rooms or boards because of it and if they do they almost never reveal themselves
Get him on here i'll talk to him and i promise i wont tell anyone who he is.
Look at Squeal with the VERY GOOD post!!! I like it, my man. As for theother guy (Leonard Ellerbe, JR) it is funny that this guy actually thinks Ellerbe is "highly accomplished" in the business of boxing.
ellerbe has been further then john scully that's for sure.
No because Scully actually stepped into the ring after walking to it.
Ricky couldn't carry floyd's jockstrap
I agree. If he did it would put Leonard Ellerbe out of a job.
tlak bad about whites, aren't you talking bad about a black man
Criticising a black person is not the same as racism. I can't stand Tyra Banks but it isn't because she's black, it's because she's a harridan.
2) Does somebody have to bea top-level fighter to be knowledgeable or to be able to offer an opinion?
Absolutely not, but it isn't Leonard Ellerbe's place to be decreeing and unbeaten two-weight world champion to be a "joke". He isn't a journalist, a promoter or a manager. He's just a guy.
Who has accomplished more: Ellerbe in the boxing business or YOU in your line of work?
I play golf with my boss, so our level of success is about the same.
Just for grins:

Me, sorry. But besides I can't really see Ellerbe achieving all that much in the boxing world.

It's ok. You're still the greatest third wheel boxing has ever seen.

I was in a Aol chatroom with Peter McNeely and I think you were there too.
I remember I asked him if it really was him and after he told me yes people started taking shots at him so he left .
This was about two years ago when i first started using the net so i didn't trust anyone but after he left I knew it had to have been him.
It's to bad, i'd like to talk to him again .

I hate when people call fighters bums too. People dont realize how hard it is just to succeed in amatuer boxing let alone the pros. I dont think people realize how much it hurts to get hit repeatedly with 10 ounce gloves either. People always say, "man if I was Floyd Mayweather I would stand and trade." Yeah ok easy for you to say when you're on your couch.
Floyd credits L for much of his fitness - and PBF is always the fittest fighter in the game. Floyd regards the guy as a friend. Is Leonard a sycophant? Maybe. But if that is what PBF needs to be his best under the light, so be it.
I have seen PBF train up close (in the same gym as I worked out 10 feet away) and he didnt need any help whatsoever to train like a super athlete...his work out was a BOXING workout and it was impressive. Ellerbee couldnt teach Floyd anything about boxing training
Yep. That's actually worse because they're even further removed from the boxing world. I find it irritating when keyboard warriors trash talk the athletes in the sport they pretend to love. Anyone that hasn't laced up the gloves doesn't have any right to call anyone that has a bum, joke or any other derogatory term. That's a problem with "fans" of all sports. I can't stand listening to sports radio, especially call in shows.
It's difficult to become a successful professional athlete in any sport. For someone like Ellerbe to talk bad about someone who did, very successfully, when he couldn't even do it himself, is way out of line.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS!!! I come on here and view these boards sometimes, and all I see are people calling pro fighters bums, jokes, etc. It makes me sick!
These people are total cowards who have never even stepped into the ring and don't know what its like to get hit in the face and gut, yet they feel its fine to criticize real warriors.
Most of the people on here are pathetic low-lifes with no jobs or friends, and they make themselves feel better about their pathetic lives by talking "tough' on the internet.

FINALLY...someone not afraid to speak the truth!! It is DIS-RE-SPECTFUL to call a fighter a bum, especially when you yourself (Leonard) could never even attempt to fight as a professional boxer. Guys like that seem to have NO IDEA AT ALL what it really does take to step in a ring, at that level especially. A guy like Ellerbee is AROUND the game but he is not IN the game, u know? It's too easy for jokers like that to talk trash and get away with it.
Guys on here are doing that with regularity. Are you addressing that as well?

I will say this much...many times I have tried to get top pro fighters to post here and on other boards..and every single one of them told me that same thing, basically, that you said here.

Doesn't change the fact that he had never been on the canvas before.
End of story.
Lest you forget Castillo got TKO'd 4x before. Not like hes never been stopped.
and what are you doing:owned:QUOTE]
bigtime seem like the guy whose greatest day in life was that day back when he found out they had internetin the halfway house and he could talk spit to pro figthers and not get smaked around for it like usually happened to him when he opened his trap lol.
