I agree he did get PBF flustered, One thing people don't know about PBF is he is not comfortable in his own skin. He is at home in the ring, but out of the ring he is still trying to find himself.
So someone like RA, a NY cat that's use to a living and being around a bunch of wolves bantering about whatever can easily verbally get the best PBF.
PBF only response to someone like RA or anyone for that matter is probably try to turn it to a who got the most money contest (which is basically what PBF tried to do).
But what I don't like is people treating RA like he is did something special by making PBF uncomfortable. PBF is not a quick witted wordsmith, it's not hard to out talk PBF. It's very hard to out box him.
Most people still don't know who RA is. They don't know that he is a rapper and a very good one. RA should just do that.
I think PBF knows what he's doing. PBF is the king of boxing right now.
RA is still doing mixtapes. PBF should have called him out on that.
as a fan and as a ticket buyer and ppv buyer, RA, ALL OF US WHO PAY, have the right to criticize floyd and his exploits........ or any fighter for that matter.
i think the problem i have with floyd and others have with him is, he is the one calling himself the greatest ever, he is the one comparing or saying there is no comparison to him or the great ones of the sport, all the while, those who are considered great were called that by others, it wasn't self proclaimed, minus Ali, but Ali was blazing the trail, floyd is following a trail already blazed, calling himself the only pioneer ever, NOT!!!! floyd is a hack when he starts talking, and i think that you nailed it when you said he's not comfortable in his own skin outside the ring, because that is so true, and you can see when he is in the ring, he's supposed to be there. sad thing is, he tries to do whatever he can not to be in there and when he does go, it's the path of least resistance.
all we want from floyd is to fight the fights the fans want to see, nothing more, nothing else, but it's always a dog and pony show, he said she said, it's not me it's them, excuse, excuse, excuse.............. seen it before, it's old hack.......... start SILENCING THE CRITICS, instead of giving US ammo to shoot him down with............
That interview happened after a July 15 2006 fight and Larry is asking him to get to negotiate, (over) train and fight in 3.5 months. In that same interview with Larry, Mosley said possibly if the money was right. More interestingly Mosley said OK if Floyd wants to wait a couple of months so Mosley gets the chance to prepare PROPERLY.
Floyd never returned the call. Mosley fought someone else February 2007.
From your own words, Floyd did the ducking and fought the no-name Baldomir instead of waiting a couple of months for Mosley.
He fought Baldomir because that was an easy payday and he would of shut up the ESPN guys about him ducking the undisputed Champion etcetc. I have 3 interviews even before the 2005 one you saw above where Floyd clearly calls out Mosley and DLH. Besides why would he fight Mosley in 2007 when Oscar and Floyd started there promotional tour in December of 06. Mosley was still fixing his tooth. Mosley has been ducking Floyd for years because he wasnt a "draw" and felt like he didnt need to give the up and coming fighter a chance.
totally true, i know that, i think he even acknowledged it, but in this interview and many others like it, pertaining to floyd and his recent career choices, floyd has stepped all over those words and his words when it comes to this subject.
fights don't get made, sometimes, because of politics and personal beefs, or just plain stubbornness, i get that, we get that, but all those people have bosses. all those people have managers, promoters, etc, in the details of the fight. floyd says otherwise, floyd says he's the man, he calls the shots, no one is his boss, etc, BUT FLOYD IS THE FIRST ONE TO HIDE BEHIND THOSE EXCUSES TO NOT FIGHT, and if floyd doesn't, then he flat out turns down the fight or the idea of a certain opponent. so either floyd is lying about being his own boss, or he's flat out ducking fighters and is cherry picking.
every time floyd talks he shoots himself in the foot, and his argument looks like swiss cheese after he gets done talking. like a scratched record, he repeats the same lil phrases over and over again. sorry but parrots don't win debates............

RA talks boxing on a barbershop level. He knows just enough to not know S**T. I'm not saying he is a novice, he talks boxing from a fans perspective as most of us do. But there is another side to boxing that most people don't take in to account.
He does not know boxing from a business perspective,a promotional prospective and all the politics that goes along with it. Boxing is not like any other sport in this aspect.
Most fights don't get done because promoters just don't like each other. The fighters may want to do it, but if the promoters don't come to an agreement the fight just won't happen.

RA is not only telling the truth from a fight fans perspective, (not a flomo's or a pactards ) and he was talking to floyd like floyd needs to be talked to by boxing fans...........
RA laid it down and all floyd could do was spin his wheels and insult, floyd came up prepared for that battle of wits.........

Because all those fighters fought eachother hoe because they are the best. Mayweather hasn't fought one of those fighters you named because he is ducking dummy. CANT YOU SEE IT IN YOUR POST RETARD.
Yep he's ducking Mosley. :pat:
that pussy ass wigga muthafucker ,I like to see him say that to Pacquiao about how he fights.whats up with paul williams now? whats up with Cotto Mosley and Margarito? huh? fuckin retarded looking Muthafucker

Good one, People will still be in denial though. He still fought a dangerous Mosley and that's what counts. He just needs to stop hitting security guards and get the Pac fight done. Oh yea, and Pac needs to get tested.
Since when did the NSAC stop testing Pac cause for the record he's been tested and been clean. Get your facts straight.
