Floyd’s Skills Exaggerated By Media and Scripted Zero Loss

Floyd's skill were never used against the best. He ducked all the Welterweights out there. so what your saying is welterweight was the only division he ever competed in ?? he just fought sugar shane who was a legitimate WELTERWEIGHT

wow--people are actually agreeing with this nonsense? If any fighter is overrated by the media, it's manny pacquiao and you all know it- how can floyd be overrated when the guys he fought, manny fought them afterwards to get his number 1 p4p ranking? didn't floyd and joe c have to both retire before manny secured his p4p number 1 spot--didn't people really believe marquez was the number 1 p4p fighter and majority believed he really beat pacquiao--just like many believed castillo beat floyd? Yet, floyd immediatley rematched him--i mean, it took manny 4 years to rematch jmm from their first fight-which was a draw--the 1 judge said he made a scoring era right and manny should have one the 1st fight-- yet many felt he lost the 2nd fight clearly but it was close- when manny lost to moralles the first time--he should have asked for an immediate rematch-and pushed for it like a mother****er--yet, he waits until moralles loses to zahir raheem and doesn't fight raheem? Now asked yourselves this--wasn' floyd bashed by the media for fighting judah after he lost to baldomir? Yet, manny gets a pass from majority of the media? Who's overrated here really by the media--if anything, the media's only graciousness of floyd is his skills--and that's it-lol--because you know why? They don't have a choice but to call spade for spade about this kid--floyd's skillset are the most complete in boxing--and nobody comes close to him in this regard--maybe only calderon and marquez-and we all saw what he did to juan manuel-lol didn't brian kenny go off on floyd, asking him why he would fight judah and not baldomir and why did floyd think he was the real champion at 140 lbs when clearly it was hatton, but failed to do his homework on ricky ducking floyd as well as his father, ray hatton telling uk articles that his son told him and he agreed with him that he was nowhere near ready to fight a floyd mayweather jr....especially after the gatti fight--the same with miguel cotto--ask bobby arum-he'll even tell you-lol isn't brian kenny's show on espn--and nationally sindicated sports program, arguably the most popular in all of sports--isn't that media dipsh1t pac fans?lol man, you people make it so easy for me to make you all look so foolish--pay attention folks-- look at floyd and manny's last 5 fights and then you'll have your answers about who's overrated--look at the condition of their circumstances leading up to their last 5 fights-look at their opponent choices--which weight they fought them at--their opponent's fights before fighting them---and when you do, you'll have the answer you're looking for---for those who objective fans anyway-lol-- the reason why people pick floyd to win his fights, is because they think with their brain, not their heart--remember this- this right here !

Floyd's skill were never used against the best. He ducked all the Welterweights out there.

Floyd skills overrated ??! Damn these guys are getting dumber every day...

now this is just dumb..how can you overate his skills when he displays them in actual fights??this is just getting dumb PActards man. They never stop.

i believe his skills is somehow overrated, yes.....his fans view him as unbeatable which is far from the truth as evident in his fights with castillo, chavez, hoya , corley, and burton...even vs shane!.....

floyd’s skills exaggerated by media & scripted zero loss published by staff on december 14th, 2010 i think floyd mayweather jr’s skills were overhyped and exaggerated primarily bythe american media for the sake of the sport which is in dire need of a new modern american boxing hero. The praises hauled on floyd were all based on his well-thought-of and well-timed series of fights to make him an undefeated fighter. Floyd fights mostly by backpedalingand throwing punches on opponents in unexciting performances. Opponents chosen based on styles that well suits floyd and the opponents were at their weakest. Some of the media praised too much for floyd to give them or ensure them of an all-access interview pass to floyd for a scoop which is their bread and butter.some filipino mediamen already experienced being banned in one of floyd’s press conferences. Floyd’s pound-4-pound #1 ranking was hugely helped by the media praises on his skills and only hbo’s analyst larry merchant had the guts to tell the real score. When manny pacquiao rebuilt his boxing career by going into the u.s. And linked with excellent boxing strategist trainer freddie roach, he rose from the bottom of the pitto the mythical pound-4-pound myth and equaled floyd, who suddenly retired. When pacquiao beat floyd’s former opponents in a much better and devastating performances, floyd who felt pacquiao is surpassing what he did, came back from retirement. Floyd announced on the eve of the pacquiao-hatton fight that he is coming back to regain his #1 pound-4-pound place by fighting the smaller and forced-to-bloat fighter marquez whom he later duped on theweight scales in exchange for a small amount to eventually win the fight convincingly. But the worst was pacquiao devastatingly knocking out hatton whom floyd’s father trained.floyd sr. Has repeatedly proclaimed he is the world’s best trainer and not the “joke coach” roach. Well, the self-proclaimed best trainer failed to convince his ward hatton to follow and do his fight plan as he told the media and was never on hatton’s side when he was knocked out. How much worse can a trainer can get when the fighter you are training got disgusted on you and don’t follow you? Floyd sr. Is only after his payday with hatton. Pacquiao pulled away high above floyd at this point in time, breaking world records and beating bigger and stronger opponents. So floyd and his family of ‘yes’ men now try to downgrade pacquiao’s amazing achievements by just talking, false accusations, self-proclamations, trash talks, racial rants, distracting anddestructing, unusual demands, etc. Etc. I dont even think that floyd is even at par with the great fighters in the history of boxing. Floyd’s status is only anchored on his zero-loss slate. And that zero-loss slate is nothing for those wins were had from fights not the boxing fans wanted but at the right time and at the right place. So now floyd waits for pacquiao to weaken, hugely distracted and bruised from fighting biggerand stronger opponents. Floyd is waiting for symptoms… the perfect time to determine who is the best between pacquiao and floyd was last yearand floyd ducked him. How cowardly can one get? http://www.*************.com/headlines/opinion-floyds-skills-exaggerated-by-media-scripted-zero-loss/ newbie!!!!!

floyd is a special talent,and has had a great career. but did lose to castillo in first fight,dont matter tht he was injured,he decided to fight and lost,the judges just kept his record in tact unfairly. but has been a let down as a welterweight. "retired" nurmerous times for no real reason. barely fought in the years out of retirement. fought and beat hatton and marquez,smaller weight guys who were never good at welterweight. and he even had the cheeck to go up more in weight! Hasnt fought everybody out there to stop doubt creeping in on how good he really is or isnt.not even a prime great weltwerweight on his record. made some b/s false accusations bout pac even though he was certain of beating pac easy and pac being one dimensional! if this was true,why make demands different to other guys he fought that he built up as being so good to even share the ring and contend with him. oscar moved up in weights and still had speed and power!.did he ask oscar for tests?. and he himself like pac moved up weights being fast and poweful still dominating guys at each weight class,but when he does it hes clean,but manny does the same but is dirty somehow?. the man loves money and is talented but selfish,gifted but deluded to think he is as good as he says he is.

rich!!!!!!

Theres a lengthy queue of decent fighters who want to show the world how overated floyd is, but he wont take any fights floyd for the time being.

Floyd's skill is at worst top 5 all time. THe man is a surgeon in the ring and knows so many ways to counter, slip, block, and place punches its scary. You may not like his resume from 140 and up, but he's as good as advertised. This is true but he also has a wallet bigger than his heart,or so he portrays? I would like to see him in a barn burner fight,like in a situation that he has to really dig deep,only than can you truly say whether he's great.

while it is true that the us media overrated floyd but with good reason. The us boxing is on the downside and they needed someone to carry on the tradition from guys like srl, hagler. The downside is that they overrated floyd and is now realizing what a coward he is. Only now does the whole world realize floyd is nothing but hype. gtfooh!!!!

WTF is this guy trying to say? :purity:

Who ever wrote this article doesn't know **** about boxing and is no more than a hater. Floyd being a coward and a cheater is being provided with Facts. You can't even provide a fact or a single evidence why Pac is on roids. LMAO

Who ever wrote this article doesn't know **** about boxing and is no more than a hater.

hahahaha Pactardation at it's finest :lol1:don't you mean at it's gayest?lol

Floyd is gay.. Facts are tue and Floyd will wait for Pacquiao to get shot.. Floyd will never fight a prime Pacquiao, he will wait for Pacquiao to beat and go an all out battle and once Pacquiao is shot that's the time Floyd will fight him.. FLoyd will never get any credit from anyone. hahahaha Pactardation at it's finest :lol1:
