Mayweathers great, but so what.

He'll shut up, once someone makes him. Until then, I don't care much for what he says anyway, so it doesn't affect me. Whitaker was hated WHILE he boxed, by the way He was an introvert who had a chip on his shoulder. Not a good combo when you're success in life is partially based on popularity.

He's a boxer, he's not your boyfriend. What do you care??Because I love the sport and I feel like he is not living up to what he could be.

Thanks I figured someone had to put mayweather into prospective with out being combative with people about him. The funny thing is that mayweather drives me nutts because he is so good but hes just a shit. He also bothers me because he rather just win than make a fan friendly fight which he probely win as well. He does not get hit that often when he does stay in the pocket so I don't know what he is worried about. Not everyone can fight inside like castillio

Very good post. Thanks I figured someone had to put mayweather into prospective with out being combative with people about him.

Ok the guy is a fantastic BOXER but I am getting tired of his mouth and disrespecting. There is a reason why people do not pay to see him fight, he is not exciting and his mouth turns many people off, the man just has no class. Its funny Pernell was a great boxer but people loved him because even as a boxer his fights were much more exciting and he was willing to fight top fighters in their prime. I think once he is done fighting people will forget about him. Sure people will remeber him as a great fighter. Very few fans will go recall mayweather with fondness like they do more exciting fighters like Leonard Pryor and many others in a huge list of fighters. People will never get teary eyed when they think about him years from now, that feeling of being blessed for having seen him fight. The thing is Mayweather is the biggest detrement to his own legacy. Its sad really and a way it sucks because he could have been so much more than he ever will be. He reminds me a lot of Larry Holmes and how he tarnished his own legacy with his attitude, its sad. Very good post.

Oscar had one fight in 3 years lucky enough to get a belt from Mayorga (:loser: ) and STILL he was one round away from whipping Floyd.solid point

Oscar was a current champ. He sure did hand Floyd his ass:bottle: Oscar had one fight in 3 years lucky enough to get a belt from Mayorga (:loser: ) and STILL he was one round away from whipping Floyd.

ali, forman, whitaker, hopkins, and moore were all hated also, but most of them will be remembered for what they have done.

good post.. mayweather as good as he is, will always be his own worst enemy.

CURRENT Oscar a better fighter than Jermaine Taylor, you have to be kidding right?:ugh: Are you kidding? You think flawed Jermain Taylor is better than Oscar. Jermain has an edge and speed and youth. Oscar is one of the most experienced fighters today. He's WAYYY more complete than Jermain. Oscar has top notch defense and a good offense.

Exactly, and Floyd gets his a%% handed to him by any current 154 champ out there. (not to mention 147) Oscar was a current champ. He sure did hand Floyd his ass:bottle:

And Mayweather has no business at 154. . Exactly, and Floyd gets his a%% handed to him by any current 154 champ out there. (not to mention 147)

And Mayweather has no business at 154. And Spinks landed 85 punches against JT. Floyd landed way more against Oscar. Oscar is a better fighter than Jermain Taylor. Stop whining. CURRENT Oscar a better fighter than Jermaine Taylor, you have to be kidding right?:ugh:

First of all, Cory has no business at Middleweight, second he held his own and threw twice as many punches as Mayfeather usually does. And Mayweather has no business at 154. And Spinks landed 85 punches against JT. Floyd landed way more against Oscar. Oscar is a better fighter than Jermain Taylor. Stop whining.

You sir a bitch wit a ***got ass avatar. Kick rockz.

Well I'd call it outboxing. If Cory does it its OUTBOXING. If Floyd does it its RUNNING. Please explain the difference? We know what Cory did in his last fight... First of all, Cory has no business at Middleweight, second he held his own and threw twice as many punches as Mayfeather usually does.

Floyd is the best of his current time. He has the right to think he can beat anyone who ever lived. I don't agree with him but who gives a shit. And Zab Judah and Cory Spinks would not beat Oscar De La Hoya. Cory Spinks doesn't engage in ANY action and Oscar would break down Zab and take a decision. Cory Spinks would outbox the current Oscar the businessman WITH EASE.

Its funny how all the mayweather fans will say shit like you know nothing mayweathers a god bla bla bla obviously those people miss the point of the thread which was not to dog mayweather although I did point out his flaws but that I wish I could like him because he is such a good fighter but I just can't have much respect for him. Nobody said Floyd was a God dumbass. I said he is the best in the sport today, and your threads can kick rockz.
