Mayweather Jr. Defends Choice of De La Hoya Over Cotto

[C'MONMANG']

I'll take losing to Peter ****ing Manfredo for 300 Alex.



How about losses to world beaters like Jesse Feliciano? But he did beat the corpse of Ben Tackie. You know the guy who recently lost to Henry Bruseles?

he also BEAT peter Manfredo and that was well above his weight class.

Lacey BARELY just beat Manfredo....

Henry Brusels was one of only THREE people FLOYD fought at 140..one of the others was Gatti who Gomez KILLED, so what makes Gomez a "BUM" again..

still waiting..

Lacey is shot as ****. Again Manfredo is ****ing garbage. Lacey having trouble with him says a LOT more about where Lacey is after his shoulder surgery than it does about Manfredo. But then you already knew that and are arguing just to be a ****.

Bruseles is a bum according to you and your endless dislike of Floyd.. So therefore Gomez shouldn't get credit for beating guys losing to him.

Gatti was shot as ****. Are you seriously trying to tell me that beating Gatti at this stage in his career is a good thing? Aren't you the same guy that won't give hatton credit for his TKO of a SHOT Castillo (I won't either).

Try to stay consistent, I know it's hard.

What a chicken**** article. Sorry but money is not everything and dissing SRR is totally off limits. Now I've heard it all, PBF should rather have another rematch with DLH than facing anyone significant in his weight division. A joke.

please..I just wanna know what makes Gomez a "BUM"..

Well I just listed it out for you. But like before when the facts are presented to you, you just go "whatever" or "Please" and repeat the same nonsense.

Please tell me what makes Gomez NOT a bum. I mean he is about par with Peter Manfredo. Tell me why the guy is not a bum. Tell me why Henry Bruseles is not a bum. Tell my why beating Gatti at this point in this career should mean ANYTHING.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. comment about Sugar Ray Robinson's not being undefeated was ridiculous!!! First of all, Pretty Boy Floyd doesn't hold a candle not only to Ray Robinson but Ray Leonard for that matter either!!

The Reason why legends like Leonard, Hagler,Duran, Hearns & others were so great was the fact that they could do it all, box, slug, knock ppl out & take punishment well...Floyd is AFRAID to mix it up? Nobody even knows what kind of chin he's got yet, and he just prefers to flutter around the ring only doing what he has to do to survive or win the fight without taking any form of risk? How the hell can Mayweather have any kind of nerve to even try & convince any true boxing fan that he's even in the same class or catagory as a Ray Robinson or Ray Leonard or an of those guy's?

I admit, talent is talent, and Mayweather has skill no doubt about it..but when he starts comparing himself to these legends like Sugar Ray Robinson & others..I have to laugh..those guys were warriors of the ring..Floyd is FAR from being any form of warrior!!!

He's just another flashy boxer with a big mouth until someone shuts it for him when or if Floyd EVER decides to excite the fans & actually FIGHT someone...

Not, prance around the ring & play it safe all the time? Do you even think for one second that a prime Sugar Ray Leonard would let Carlos Baldomir go the distance with him? Not likely..Ray Leonard would've blitzed 'em outta there as soon as he knew he could..that's the sign of a true blue warrior...not some fake-ass wanna-be self-proclaimed legend like Floyd..he's good, but certainly not one of the all-time greats..not yet anyhow?

I've done well to read all the way down to this post without saying anything. However, you like many others know nothing about BOXING. There is no way on God's green earth you have EVER boxed competitively before! How can you say Floyd's chin hasn't been tested when he's been in damn near 40 fights. That has to be the moronic statement I've heard so far. This is the same guy that destroyed Diego Corrales when both were in their prime and Diego was VERY dangerous! Almost everyone on here myself included consider Diego to have been a warrior! The fans in the UK LOVE Ricky Hatton so damn much they wrote a song about his ass and he destroyed him in his prime. Yet you call Floyd a coward? All of you so called REAL FIGHT FANS that talk trash about Floyd's heart and courage are keyboard bitches with no common sense or ability to fight . How can you say a man who fights world class fighters for a living has no heart? Not to mention fights people who would kick any of your asses with ease and yet he has no heart? The above reader stated that Floyd just dances around the ring and plays it safe???? I almost got fired for laughing so hard at this lunacy. Have you ever been in a fight? Did you intentionally try to get hit? Ok let allow me to enlighten you. Fighters that stand there and brawl have no other choice but to that . That is because they lack the skill to do otherwise. You tell me if you had the reflexes to avoid damn near every punch a fighter throws at you , you wouldn't do that? Also, You have to remember Sugar Ray Leonard was bigger than Floyd even though they both fought at welterweight. I saw Floyd two years ago in Detroit and he's really tiny! He walks around at about 150 or 155. He could campaign at 135 with ease. So saying that Sugar Ray Leonard would've stopped Baldomir isn't really saying much since Ray was a bigger puncher anyway. Finally, Like many of the posters on here has stated. Don't worry about Floyd and what he's doing when we have a GREAT fight coming up with Cotto\Margarito. Floyd is using your emotions against you. You don't think he knows that many of the dire fight fans will boycott his fight with DLH ? He knows you will pay in droves to see Cotto kick his ass and that is what he wants. You will put even more money in his pocket that ever! He's outsmarting all of the other fighers out there and now the fight fans. Floyd loves to be the villian. He for some reason thrives on it. I'd love to see him fight Cotto. It pisses me off that he hasn't fought him yet. Not doing what I want or what any of you want does not all of sudden make him a coward. Fighting is his business just as flipping burgers,mopping floors or whatever you do for a living is your business. You calling him a coward because he won't fight who you think he should , would be the same as me going to the grocery story and calling the guy that bags my groceries a ***** because he didn't bag my groceries the way I thought he should.

Most of the loudest bitches that talk about "warrior" and "heart" have never been in the ring themselves.

He beat an undefeated Peter Manfredo two weight classes above his. He KTFO Arturo Gatti, Floyds biggest win at 140..two years earlier.

He lasted just as long with Cotto as Quitana did. Is Quitana a bum?

you think Clottey, PW, cOLL;Zao could beat Manfredo at middle weight?

Cotto-matweather

These Guys Are Crazy To Say That Cotto Wont Bring Nothing To The Table, Since When Is Boxing About Bringing Money To The Table Other Than Competion. I Understand That There Has To Be Money In Order For Things To Go Right, But What Ever Happened To The Sport. They Have To Stop Talking About The Rating And Admit To The Fact That Hes Just Scarred And He Doesnt Want To Lose His 0 And Put His Pretty Little Name On The Chopping Block, He Might Be Good At Other Weight Classes But Hes Not A 147 Champ, Never Will Be Never Was, And The Fact That He Has The Belt Says Nothing Cause He Took It From A Guy Like Baldlomir Instead Of A Real Champ. So Please Stop Using These Lame Excuses And Get To The Real Point: That He Just Doesnt Dare Fight Him.
