I've said it once before on this board, though I was talking about something completely different - the biggest drag of a screed full of inaccuracies and biased points is they often require a significant amount more time and care to properly address than they do to shit out. Usually more than time than it's worth, considering the deaf ears you're preaching to. it's often the case in media in general. shooting crap pays the bills, but the correction is not sensational. so you will see ppl accused of a crime on the 1st page, and the apologetic correction in a skimpy column between obituaries and some important news about a local charity

The amount of inaccuracies and biased points made in the article is such that picking on them is a monumental task.

This article says all what to say what? I dont get it. Floyd has been callin out Shane for years...and shane ducked him...at 135 and most recent...with the toothache fiasco. Shane that following friday on fnf said hed fight Margarito....its funny how his tooth pains and his needs for a vacay went away after Floyd was in talks with Oscar. Shane is just looking for a pyaday... No Floyd is not fighting you after a 2 year layoff....hed be dumb too... I always thought u would want the guy your facing to be tip top condition....not rusty as hell.... Mayweather didnt ASK Hatton shit.....Hatton wanted Mayweathers belt.... The WBC Lineal WW Title. We can equally say Pac made Oscar drop down to 147 after 12 years from not making the weight. This article doesnt go hard 2501. they hate him, they will write allot lol.

How many times this been posted? :repost:

...are we really going to have a conversation about why floyd didint fight casamayor and freitas? Do the math of when those guys jumped on the scene, and when floyd had his reign at 130 and 135, without a doubt, floyd solidified himself in those divisions. Asking why he didint fight them is like asking why Pac didint fight humberto soto, rocky juarez and edwin valero. also, are we really going to deny the fact that tszyu was not only injured, but basically showtimes fighter, after what happened with tyson/lennox, we havent seen a joint PPV since, and we likely never will. At 140, are we going to seriously say that miguel cotto was going to fight mayweather? You guys seriously fukkin think that he DIDNT try to get that fight? They had the same promoter, not to mention cotto wouldnt have been anywhere near ready at that point. Ricky hatton also turned him down at 140, and i remember very clearly when it happend, not to mention hatton ADMITTED it himself. There was only one possible fight at 140 between himself and a title holder and even then he had to force a mandatory by fighting bruseles. And even then, there actually countless threads on here wondering why gatti was openly ducking mayweather by taking on a fight with leija, who had just recently defeated bojado. Let me put it to you this way, NOBODY fought ANYBODY at 140. The only fight that ever happened was Tszyu and Hatton, basically everyone else, from vivian harris, to cotto, to mayweather, none of those fights ever happened, either people lost at the wrong time, or everyone flatout ducked everyone. I know its hard to fathom, i know its tough for some of you, but god forbid, fighters at that point actually DIDINT want to fight mayweather. The closest thing to ducking at that point was the accusation from vivian harris at the gatti press conference, and we all know how that turned out. i guess floyd should have went after oktay urkal yall can say what you want about 147, but half this article is honestly fukking trash. good points, I had forgotten about all that.

this article hurts

This article hits the nail on the head. THIS is why with Floyd's unquestionable skill he is not a higher ranked ATG. I've always said Floyd is a money fighter the last several years. The most money with the least risk. What Floyd doesnt understand from past greats is unless you fight the best you will have questions, these questions hurt your legacy.

The article reflects of a majority opinion. This is what mostly everyone thinks. "PBF is an amazing fighter who takes the least risks possible even though he and his fans call himself the best that ever did it" The biggest proof of this is... He, someone who his fans say is too small for the WW division, he, who doesnt want ANYTHING to do with any top WW's, wanted to fight a small Lightweight at 147lbs, the Weltwerweight limit. That speaks volumes no matter how you try to spin it, no matter how you try to distort it. you really make a good point... to bad I can't give you green k just yet... got to spread some more to others.

i dont get it either, these guys blast mayweather about pretty much everything under the sun, and advise you not to glorify him, but when his PPV comes up, they buy the damn thing. the numbers prove it - if they didn't, floyd wouldn't be fighting, because that what it boils down to: money. and if you think floyd's the only guy doing the paper chase, you're wrong. all the top guys have $ in their eyes. If Ricky Hatton didn't bring the British invasion with him, Team Pac would not have fought him. Plain and simple. which only proves that most of those people buy PPV to see PBF lose.

As usual, I expect someone to give me a red k for posting somethin like this. But it`s ok am used to it. I won't give you red k, it is an opinion piece that I disagree with. Anyone is free to feel what they want, I just do not have much tolerence for bias.

That was what I'm trying to say... Being a Boxing Fan is different from being a Boxer's Fan.

Same weak shit someone came with yesterday~. Their editor should learn to edit articles and make the writer use real words (to me funny clever words seem unprofessional, also the article is much to wordy to be a real article, should be like half as long) an english eatcher would have a field day with it. Be conciese and to the point, being wordy is not a sign of intelligence. Being able to get your point in as few a words as possible is~.

Im saving that to the hard drive but im having trouble finding the space Gonna give this one the once over later on

didnt somebody make a thread just like this yesterday. you guys hate him so much yet he's all you talk about. i dont get it

.........................PART II Genaro Hernandez, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo and others were among the best opponents he could have tackled at the time at each division in which he fought. They weren't all of the best opponents he could have tackled at the time, however. Mosley, Joel Casamayor and Acelino Freitas were boxers Mayweather didn't end up in the ring with who were in or around his weight class, and all of them at some point wanted a Mayweather fight. Still, fighting the best was once something Mayweather did more often than not. It's after that where Mayweather's record of fighting the top competition in his division severely tapers off. At lightweight, his next two fights were against Victoriano Sosa and Phillip Ndou. Both had their good qualities, but were they the top men in their division? Not really. During Mayweather's tenure at junior welterweight, the top men were, at various times, Kostya Tszyu, Hatton and Miguel Cotto. Mayweather fought DeMarcus Corley, Henry Bruseles and Arturo Gatti. During Mayweather's tenure at welterweight, the top men were, at various times, Cotto, Antonio Margarito, Paul Williams and Mosley. Mayweather fought Sharmba Mitchell, Zab Judah, Carlos Baldomir, Hatton (moving up from junior welterweight) and took a detour to junior middleweight for Oscar De La Hoya. Before his temporary retirement, he was making plans to fight Hatton and De La Hoya again. Now do the same exercise with Pacquiao's level of competition, just by way of contrast. I'll wait. Done? What did you come up with? Maybe you can knock Pacquiao's one-fight lightweight "reign." That's fair. David Diaz is no Nate Campbell, or Juan Diaz, for that matter. Much of anybody else? I think I'll be waiting for your answer for a while, and I think you'll be scrounging. And, at any rate, in a little more than a year, Pacquiao has fought the clearly best opposition while he was in the junior lightweight division, Juan Manuel Marquez, and while he was in the junior welterweight division, Hatton. And if you stack up the fighters Mayweather didn't fight while in the pertinent division -- Freitas, Casamayor, Mosley, Tzsyu, Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, Williams -- and compare them to those that Pacquiao hasn't fought, I think you'd find more pound-for-pound top-10 guys in Mayweather's stack than Pacquiao's. I don't dismiss all of Mayweather's fights over the last few years out of hand. Sure, Hatton was smaller than Mayweather, but I thought Hatton's style would give Mayweather more trouble than it did, and it's not as if Mayweather is some giant welterweight. Sure, De La Hoya was getting older, but Mayweather moved up to fight him, and he was still pound-for-pound top-20 at the time. Sure, Gatti had zero chance whatsoever, but he did come with a giant pile of money. Sure, Baldomir had even less of a chance, but he did have the legitimate, lineal Ring magazine belt in the division. Sure, at times some of the opponents Mayweather reportedly wanted didn't want him, but there are just as many reports the other way around, and it's always tough to suss those things out. I guess you can find knocks on Pacquiao's wins of late, too. You can find knocks on any fighters' wins if you try. But here is one thing that is just flat true: Mayweather, since the end of 2002, has not once fought the best boxer in his division, nor has he really come all that close. And if you want to make excuses about why it's not Mayweather's fault, just keep in mind that plenty of other fighters have found a way to consistently fight the best competition in their division. Somehow. Like Pacquiao. Who has done it over and over and over again. There are other things that are galling about the Mayweather fan club. One is the bard work for Mayweather's "business accumen," as though that's more important than anything. You can admire Mayweather for getting big fight paychecks and say "Money May" over and over and over again, as though it's just such a cool nickname, but maybe being a boxing fan isn't really for you. If you want to see how high people can stack money, I recommend the television show The Apprentice. I'm interested in good fighters fighting other good fighters in good fights. Also, if it's so cool to watch "Money May" rake in cash, if he's such a good "businessman," what do the admirers of his bank account think of all the endless reports about the IRS problems and other money woes of late? Is he still so very very chique? Then there are lines like this from BoxingScene: But lest we forget, the "Pretty Boy" has a good side as well. He portrayed himself as a champion of battered women before a KO of later-convicted domestic abuser Diego Corrales in 2001, and has since crossed over to mainstream with a turn on "Dancing With the Stars" and an AT&T commercial. That would be the same Mayweather who stood trial for domestic violence -- he was not convicted -- and received a suspended sentence after being "convicted of misdemeanor battery stemming from a fight with two women at a Las Vegas nightclub." Some "champion." Mayweather did indeed "portray" himself as a "champion of battered women," but he was convicted of, well, battering women, so his "portrayal" is no evidence of his good side. What's the good side of holding oneself up as a "champion" of battered women then battering women? Listen, you can like a lot of things about Mayweather without being the kind of jockstrap rider I'm attacking here. He's a magnificent fighter, one who has accomplished enough in his career to crack the top-50 all-time great list, one bound for the Hall of Fame no matter what he's done since 2002, and, in part, because of some of the things he's done since 2002. Anyone who writes him off as a "runner" or dismisses his career in its entirety is way off the mark. He even does have a "good side," a real one, donating to charity and the like, and all accounts are that he's been a good father. I used to like him a good deal, even some of his villainous schtick, like the sombrero he wore in the ring walk for the De La Hoya fight, before it became boring and one dimensional. But then I got tired of him inside the ring, too. Let's just stop glorifying a guy simply because he made money without having to fight the top competition available to him, or because he stood up for battered women a few years before getting into the business of battering women himself. And most importantly, because the personal stuff matters so much less than the professional stuff when it comes to writing about boxing, let's not pretend that he always fought the best, especially not in the last seven years -- a lifetime in this sport.
