    You Mayweather haters always seem to forget that the goal of any and every boxer is to hit your opponent while avoiding being hit, just as he goal of a football team is to score points while not allowing your opponent to score. Fans consider a 51-50 game to be exciting, but the teams playing will tell you they would rather win a blowout than a 51-50 game. No one blows their opponent out better than Floyd Mayweather and that is why he made $25 million for beating up De La Hoya while Mosley only made $8 in two fights against Oscar which were arguably "more exciting".

    No one knows what kind of chin Mayweather has because no one has ever hit him on his chin. If Mosley had allowed Cotto to hit him less often, he woudl have defeated Cotto, so how the hell can you praise him for letting himself get hit 236 times in a fight?. That makes no sense to me. The fact is that Mosley has lost five times while Mayweather is undefeated. Also, Mayweather made about $10 million against Baldomir, he made $25 million against De La Hoya and will make at least $15 million against Hatton. That is more money in three fights that Mosley, Cotto, Hatton and Joe Calzaghe will make in their entire careers. A fighter doesn't make that much money unless he is doing something right.
    he isn't talking about it is wrong to fight the way he does. he says he finds it boring which i agree with aswell.

    floyld may have a great record but who in 10 years will go and find and watch his fights? in 10 years people will still get out hagler hearns, ali frazier, even gatti ward.

      Let's take a look at his PPV's:
      Gatti: Gatti was the draw.
      Judah: Both were the draw. Both were stars in the hip hop community.
      Baldomir: Ok...I admit he was the draw.
      DLH: DLH

      and now hatton is quite a draw now. He (floyd) is really extremely lucky to be a star.
      That's a farce. FLOYD is the draw (except for DLH, he is on another planet) in a different way then people think so they just use words like "lucky". Who is the common denominator in the two biggest fights of the year? How much did Oscar sell in his last fight with Mayorga? Did Ricky even main event a ppv before Floyd? How many fans went to see Cas Ricky and now double or quadruple that number want to see Ricky/Floyd. Oscar or Ricky ever sell out in 30 minutes before? You might be a FAN of the other fighter but the reason you buy the ppv is because you want to see if they can beat the p4p best in the world, understand.

        Hatton fans love to use that phrase.

          But that is the basic premise of my argument. He is hiding something.

          bad hands and a bad chin.
          or.....Maybe hes doing what hes been trained to do his entire life and fight the way his father taught him? Of all of Mayweather Sr's fighters, Bojado, De La Hoya, Guzman, Dawson, Mayweather is the prototype for how he trains his fighters, and it works perfectly for him. I have known about mayweather since his olympic days, hes fought the exact same way since. Hes been trained to fight a certain way, and if you think its to protect his "lack of a chin" then so be it, a man with a Glass jaw has managed to go undefeated in 5 weight classes with it.

His reflexes were slow and he got caught by a damn good punch. If he was hiding it he wouldn't have been fighting the way he always fights. I hope ideas like this don't dawn into your head all the time
                skils:
                Roy's 'reign' at 175 (if you can call it that) was terrible. He wasn't even fighting guys in the top 10. He was fighting guys like Brannon, Kelly and the whole works. Alot of these guys werent even RANKED challengers. He looked great because he was fighting scrubs.

                    Your an idiot you haven't got a clue what your on about Roy Jones beat some good names at Lightheavyweight.

                    Mike McCallum = Hall Of Famer old yes but still very good.
                    Montell Griffin = beat James Toney x2
                    Virgil Hill = Hall Of Famer
                    Reggie Johnson
                    Eric Harding
                    Julio Cesar Gonzalez = beat Dariusz Michalczewski when he was 48-0
                    Clinton Woods
                    Antonio Tarver
                    Lou Del Valle

                    Thats pretty good list of opposition at Lightheavyweight if you call his opposition so bad name me some other Lightheavyweight's that were any better than the ones i mentioned ??

                      Roy was a joker at LHW.

                      You entirely skip the Roy Jones letter writing campaign to avoid Michael Nunn or his public statements that he would only travel to fight DM for 10 Mill (pricing the fight out of the only place it would have made money). Of, and you forget that 28 mill lawsuit that erupted from the Jones-Nunn-Rocky fiasco.

                      Jones and DM ducked each other. Period. huge blackhole on both guys' legacies. Moreso on Jones' however.

                      I mean, I dont even have to dig onto boxrec to look at his shoddy record at LHW.

                      Brannon, DelValle, Kelly....need I go on. These guys aren't 'tuneups'. The word I use would be garbage men.
