My Open Letter to Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Was this a love letter? Roy and Mayweather were almost the same . I gave Roy more credit. Mayweather fought no one to be the best. Why on earth cant people get it....To be the best you MUST beat the best.234 the best? who? margaCheatHoe? sloppy williams? quitter cotto? mosley with toothache? is that ur teh best list?

And, these are fights are not only good for the sport, but they would be great for your pocketbook as well. Well, he got that one right...

sICK TRULY SICK!!WHAT A DICK RIDER THE BEST OF THE BEST??yEA CORRALES,JOSE LUIS CASTILLO AND RICKY HATTON BUT NON OF THEM WERE TRUE w.w AND HE DIDNT FIGHT THE BEST W.W OR BEST JR. MIDDLE SO STOP YOUR GAY SHIT AND SHUT THE **** UP!!!

nice work brother

From http://www.theboxingstop.com/2009/03/open-letter-to-floyd-mayweather-jr.html Champ, I sincerely hope you have enjoyed your time away from the sport. I can only imagine the physical and mental toll being a fighter of your level must take. Rest is important, both physically and mentally, and you’ve earned it. Admittedly, I am one of your biggest fans. I actually went to the Houston press stop for your fight with Oscar De La Hoya hoping to meet you and get your autograph. You were a true pleasure to meet and you displayed a genuine generosity towards your fans I have not seen in many. I was hoping you would stick around and fight a few more years, but when you retired I didn’t really feel like you had anything left to prove. You beat the best fighters of your weight division and even went up to face some of the very best at welterweight before retiring one of the best fighters ever. Unlike many, I did (and do) not hinge the value of your career based on you cleaning out the welterweight division. Don’t get me wrong, I do not doubt you would box circles around the likes of Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto, I just don’t think it is that necessary for you to do so as you began your career at such a lighter weight. When you retired, I rightfully placed you as the best of your generation, at least the post Roy Jones era. However, I’m writing you today because I’m not quite sure it is still true. After watching Manny Pacquiao destroy Oscar de la Hoya the way he did, witnessing Juan Manuel Marquez perform the way he did against Juan Diaz, and carefully weighing both o f those fighters willingness to fight (and win) against the very, very best (including each other), it is my firm belief that you still have some work to do if you want to be considered the best of your time. No doubt, if you stay retired you will still be considered one of the best fighters ever. But, you will always leave question as to if you were even the best fighter of your era. We both know that if there is question about you being the best fighter your era, then you can’t possibly be considered as the best fighter of all time, which is something I frequently have heard you describe yourself as. Floyd, I truly believe you have to come out of retirement to solidify your legacy. Only wins against Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez would truly solidify you as the best of your era. And, these are fights are not only good for the sport, but they would be great for your pocketbook as well. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I hope to see you in the ring again soon. Sincerely, xxxx www.theboxingstop.com Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marguez are smaller fighters than him and their going up in a weight class they haven't really proven themselves. Mayweather should fight the big boys Mosley, Berto, etc. One after another, but not after they start losing their fights. Fight them now on the top of their game.

Good points, but the letter does reek of ******ry. Especially the xxxxxx at the end. If you click on the website it is on there but has his name instead of the "xxxx". How do you plan on sending this to Floyd Mayweather?

what do wins against Juan Manuel Marquez (a superfeatherweight) and Manny Pacquiao (Super Feather) prove? They wouldn't prove him as the best fighter of our generation at all.. If he wants to be the best of our time he has to fight and beat someone of his own size, Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley. its about size? cotto and mosley are the same size? FLAWED!

Dude don't give a shit about the fans. Not even the stans on here who love him more than their own mothers.

This from a guy with an avatar of himself cheesed up next to Antonio Margarito. dude floyds not going to read this, ever, so stop being retarded.

Good letter. Getting KTFO by a bum like Tarver and coming back fighting Omar Sheika and dancing instead of punishing him into a KO is the reason FLoyd is rated above of The legend ROy.

FUKK this BULLSHIIT.... fight mosley or cotto or dont come back

i thought the letter was a pretty gay too ... but i agree on some points ... but he should fight mosley and cotto not pac or jmm .... fight some true ww or stay retired imo.

what a dick rider man, are you gay? This from a guy with an avatar of himself cheesed up next to Antonio Margarito.

Was this a love letter? Roy and Mayweather were almost the same . I gave Roy more credit. Mayweather fought no one to be the best. Why on earth cant people get it....To be the best you MUST beat the best.234 You mean guys like Ricky Hatton, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, etc? Yeah, I think great fighters should fight the best, too.

I said at least, implying that one could argue Roy was better. I tend to think Roy was exceptionally brilliant when he had his speed and quickness, but you're right about Floyd's technical expertise.
