Does Floyd Mayweather Jr make a mockery of this sport?

I admit , Floyd likes to talk smack but not as bad as this : Dayam, this is classic. I miss MIke Tyson.

So your telling me his work rate is next to nothing? Have you seen Floyd train, have you even watched him fight? The man is the best because he trains harder than anyone I have ever seen. The man is a tactical prodigy. You dont develope a boxing intellect vastly superior to all those who are in the game today by half assing. Real boxing fans, not just people who want to see a gladiator arena battle. Real fans respect his boxing. Its the -science- side of boxing. You obviously aren't a fan of the "science" behind boxing. There's nothing wrong with that but dont diss the guy because he uses the "sweet science" and doesn't just brawl. there is knowing to box but at the same time you have to give the fans what they want. look at leanord he had all the ability of floyd but he used to fight also.

:lol1: Floyd does not make a mockery of the sport........somebody like Hatton does

I admit , Floyd likes to talk smack but not as bad as this : You know what the funny thing is? Tyson didn't talk much when he was at his best with Rooney. It was quite the opposite. Most of his talking was inside the ring. That sold tickets. It wasn't until he went on the slide and especially after prison when he was crap, that he talked a lot of smack in order to sell tickets (to make up for his declined ability inside the ring). Floyd on the other hand, talks smack to sell tickets because if he doesn't, it's back to small arenas...and that is despite being a great fighter who didn't crash and burn like Tyson with skills/ability. Which is a shame because from 130-140, he was a hellova entertaining fighter I thought. At 147, not so much.

The way he talks shit before fights but doesn't really deliver any entertainment. He talks more shit then a prime Mike Tyson, yet atleast a prime Mike Tyson was entertaining. I agree, just like how he was "GOING TO DESTROY DE LA HOYA".

Pure entertainment if u ask me. Posturing is part of the sport.

What the fuck? Show me one post where I dissed Pacquiao. Look at my sig. Pacquiao is one of my favorite boxers, dip shit. I never diss Pacquiao. Not even when I defend Floyd. I actually think Pacquiao is his biggest threat. Dont be a fucking tool. Floyd has a large fan base because he puts on a "gangsta" persona. He acts like a rapper so people love him and it doesn't hurt that he is undefeated. Personally, I rather not hear him talk but I absolutely love his boxing style. Im a fan of technical boxing, first and foremost. I am one of the few members here who aren't biased towards any one boxer. I just tell it like it is. The fruity pebbles over at la casa del perro boxeo, had a huge shit attack when I said Floyd brought in a large portion of Hiphops younger fanbase into the sport. Some even likened it to racism.

i dont think hes doing anything different than sugar ray leonard was doing at this point in his career. the difference is that leonard put on a persona people liked, thus the perception of him was easier to digest. well see if mayweather has a terry norris moment, though i doubt it, floyd takes boxing a bit more serious than that, but still, anything can happen.

Ali was drafted to Vietnam and refused to go. dont blame him, i wouldn't go either. lol :lol1: That's my point. He was scared because he knew he would get beat. The Vietnamese would have kicked his ass...they were no joke.

When you pick up a fighter two weight class down and says because he wanted to fight "the best", you know its mockery.

LOL I don't remember him ever saying anything about wanting to fight them? Ali was drafted to Vietnam and refused to go. dont blame him, i wouldn't go either. lol

He avoided the Vietnamese. LOL I don't remember him ever saying anything about wanting to fight them?

Ali fought the BEST there was available to him and he backed it up. You don't say your gonna beat this guys and that guy and don't actually fight them. Atleast Ali fought those guys. But he wasn't talking about fights until a few posts ago. He was talking about Floyd's actions. Which are just 21st century adaptions of how Ali was acting like in the 50s-60s.

Ali fought the BEST there was available to him and he backed it up. You don't say your gonna beat this guys and that guy and don't actually fight them. Atleast Ali fought those guys. He avoided the Vietnamese.

Ali atleast had a workrate and made fights entertaining to some extent. Mayweathers workrate is next to nothing, he just does enough to get the win and not try to excite the fans. So terrible comparison from your part. When a guy barely throws punches and seems to go into every boxing match as survival mode, its lame. Floyd fights as if he is always fighting against a lion in that ring, and he goes so defensive he forgets that the fans love to see offense. not only all that but ali also took on challenges and fought the best. Thats why ali is considered the greatest and floyd is light years away from him

Well, I guess Muhammad Ali also made a mockery of this sport. He dissed everyone under the sun, even the greats before him. going by your rational, of course. Ali fought the BEST there was available to him and he backed it up. You don't say your gonna beat this guys and that guy and don't actually fight them. Atleast Ali fought those guys.

Shut up with that real boxing fan crap, you're not a real boxing fan. You root against Manny Pacquiao as if he is the devil. A man who shows respect to every fighter he has ever fought. A man who gets attacked on here because he doesn't share the same skin color or ethnic background as some of the racist ****s on here. Its disgusting, Floyd only has a fan base for one reason and I'm not going to say why because I know it will be an instant ban. What the fuck? Show me one post where I dissed Pacquiao.

You're too ignorant to even look at my sig, if you read my sig retard I'm far from a Marg fan. Corrales was weight drained plus all the people he ko'd were brawlers not boxers. But you wouldn't know what the difference is between a brawler and a boxer. Let me explain, boxers use their jabs to win fights similar to what Taylor does. And when he ko'd people who had their hands at their waist, that is so impressive. And he was still boring even before he got the KO'S. Yea ur rite I didn't take the time to read ur sig. O we gonna make excuses for Corrales now? There must be anotha problem to get knocked down 6 times.:lol1: O so Floyd's not a "boxer" because he doesn't use his jab?:lol1: Stop crying...ur boy Cotto lost to a bum
