    Ummm, Gatti was at 140.

    Floyd beat the legitimate and linear WW champion. Forget that?

      Oh yeah Baldomir was welterweight champion from beating Judah, memory lapse in action there, he vacated it though. Let's see him beat paul Williams, Kermit Cintron, and Miguel Cotto to regain that title.

          He didn't "steal". Oscar's gym bag. He "took" Oscar's gym bag and dared Oscar to come get it.

          He openly admits that he took Oscar's bag: "Yeah, I took your bag. Do something about it. Come do something about it."

          It is a matter of punking Oscar and taking Oscar's manhood. Not "stealing", per se.


          Also, PBF said "I respect Oscar as a man, but not as a fighter. That's just the type of guy I am.". You can pull the presscon up on YT.
          oh i get it you went to the george w bush school of lies and half truths. man you have proven yourself a true idiot on here enough to make your momma feel ****** for having you. Please stop posting this nonsense. Heres how it breaks down in that situation: A. He stole the bag or B. it was a gimmick ploy for the show but not: C. whatever nonsense you tried to twist that event into making you a douchbag fan of mayweathers who will defend his every move even to the point of looking like an idiot in front of everyone who posts here! Get it?

            OK, freedom... You are smarter than everyone else.

            Floyd "stole" Oscar's gymbag... He didn't do it to annoy Oscar and get under his skin. Floyd really needed Oscar's old shorts and hand wraps.

            You happy now?

              If you can't see this for what it is then you're foolish. Floyd can afford to be a bad guy. Does not have to be likeable at all. He wins fights. What if the tables were turned what if the other fighters were portrayed as the bad guys?? Oscar a bad guy??? He hasn't won a fight against a notable boxer in 4 years..can you see him calling someone a b fighter. There always has to be a hero and a villan. Its american as apple pie. We wouldn't be here talking right now if floyd didn't exist.

                Another lapse alert!

                He didn't vacate **** at 147. He is still WBC champion and The Ring champion. Mosley got the interim title meaning that the winner of Cotto-Mosley will be the mandatory for Mayweather.

                I will take this a step farther than everyone else has. I don't think that Floyd can just afford to be the bad guy, I think it benefits him. He genuinely is a ****y ****head most of the time, so it is real hard for a guy like that to be a fan favorite. He does very well playing the guy who thinks he is god. I personally just think that he plays the role well, and it's his natural attitude on the subject, so why not go with it? It obviously has worked, in addition to him being the P4P #1, that is exactly why Mayweather-De La Hoya was able to break all the records, even eclipsing the biggest Tyson fight of all time, which is absolutely incredible.

                  Exactly. He was the most interesting part of 24/7, love him or hate him. He is the most talked-about fighter, and he is in 2007's TWO biggest fights.

                  Life is long. He has plenty of time to change his image. Right now, "*******" is making him buckets of dough. He has made a conscious decision to adopt that persona.

                  I'm gonna post an interesting article from the Gatti era.

                    Really? I was much more entertained by hearing about Oscar's dogs and how he likes his coffee (from a machine, not fresh WTF?!?) in the morning.

                      - Do you think he'll have an advantage in that building on his own turf?

                      - No, because his fans don't get in there and fight for him. You know I already know how a fight like this is going to go down there. He gonna get in there, throw a few punches which he gonna miss. He'll probably land them on the shoulder or the arm and you know how the crowd is, they gonna cheer. I'm gonna relax, get to doing what I'm doing and I'm gonna punish him. And once I get to punishing him, don't nobody gonna be cheering no more. I'll make the whole arena quiet. You'll see; it'll be a total mismatch.

                      - Do you think you'll win over the fans?

                      - I'm not there to win over the fans; I'm there to win a fight. Even when I knock him out, they are still gonna boo. What you gotta realize is that in the sport of boxing, you got good guys and you got bad guys. It's what the people want. When Oscar De La Hoya fought Pernell Whitaker, Pernell was the bad guy. When Oscar fights Felix Trinidad, Trinidad is the bad guy. But when Bernard Hopkins fights Trinidad, Hopkins is the bad guy. So in this sport, you gotta have a good guy and a bad guy. It's like that. This fight kinda reminds me of Jerry Cooney versus Larry Holmes.

                      - Do you consider yourself as the bad guy?-

                      It's not what I consider; it's what you all already know. I'm the bad guy anyway.

                      - Do you think you'll ever be thought of as the good guy?-

                      It don't matter. As long as they keep paying me those good paydays, you can make me the good guy or the bad guy.
