De La Hoya: "Floyd Mayweather Jr. Never Took Risks"

[MoneyMay]

Floyd took risks when he enjoyed boxing and was fighting to earn a living.

Now that he's very wealthy, he just runs his mouth off, slagging the likes of ODLH and Hatton to promote his new rap game.

If he ever lost, it would all crash and the Money would stop flowing... because he now lives off the name he built, undefeated young Pretty Boy Money Mayweather.

This is why he avoids returning to boxing because he knows while he was away some fighters have built up a name for themselves and could snatch or decisively take a win from him.

Short span memories!

Oscar De La Hoya thinks highly of Floyd Mayweather Jr. as a fighter and thinks highly of his physical skills. What De La Hoya questions is the heart of Mayweather Jr. De La Hoya, who lost a decision to Mayweather last year, was scheduled to fight him in a rematch this past September. In shocking blow to De La Hoya, Mayweather announced his retirement in June - crushing a fight that was being hyped by De La Hoya and HBO since the start of the year and leaving De La Hoya with few options.

Anyone talking **** about oscar needs to look at his record he has always fought the best!I think we should give him a break for not fighting margarito and fighting the smaller man for once! How many times was he concidered da smaller man?He is past his prime!Cant blaim him for taking da easier road for once.Margarito would hurt da "senior" and the risk is not worth da reward.Oscars not afraid of anyone!

Manny Upsets Oscar = Manny Vs Mayweather!

[El Dominicano]

Yes but best believe that when DLH sayz this

He better be talkin about 147.

[Brandish]

PBF best win is corrales.PBF never fought Casamayor,Freitas,Tzyou, in the lightweight classes and dodged Margo,Cotto or any of the other top fighters at welter. Fan of eithier fighter or not facts are facts.

casamayor= beaten by castillo and corrales both beaten decisively by floyd

freitas = tkoed by corrales (humiliated freitas) who was humiliated by floyd

tszyu - tkoed by hatton who was humiliated by floyd

margo beaten by paul williams not the best welterweight by far

cotto beaten by margo who was not the best welterweight when he fought him

margo and cotto will never be on floyds level until they at leat unify 147 and leave no doubt as to who the best at 147 is

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

I agree, but it's not like Manny would fight some legitimate fight if he couldn't get Oscar. Manny, is a full blown opportunist, especially with an emotional trainer like Roach. They didn't let Manny go against Soto or Guzman, who are his age and prime equivalents, and probably lively enough to give Manny more then he's use to.

Basically Manny's people have given him fights that closley resemble the bums he fought in the Phillipine islands, the moments where they tried to step up and saw the problems Manny has had...Well that's probably got them more shook then Shaggy and Scooby Doo after seein a ghost pirate lmao....

Yeah you are right Manny didnt faced Barrera x2, Marquez x2, Morales x3 He didnt face Diaz . He just fought bums and didnt take any risk!!!!! Lol!!!!!!!

exactly What Joe Calzaghe Is Doing, He's Afraid To Lose And Has/is Avoiding Any Big Threat.

I Second That ****!!

Excuses are like *******s...........everybody's got one.

Obviously you know nothing at all about boxing.
De La Hoya started fighting at super featherweight and has fought big dudes..
Vargas, Sturm, Hopkins, Castillejo, Trinidad...
De La Hoya has nothing left to prove, his legacy is what it is regardless of what he do.
He don't NEED to fight anybody or prove anything.

Oscar took few or no risks. Vargas was finished after Trinidad, the whole world knows he lost ot Sturm, who had no punch, (except you), Trinidad beat him, Castillejo was on the very downgrade, and he lost to Hopkins, supposedly an old man..... YES HE TOOK RISKS, ....but he didn't know they were risks.

From the time he fought Trinidad, everything went awry for Oscar, all his "brains-trusting" did him no good.

Oscar always fought those he felt sure of beating and always had "perks" and goodies. From Trinidad on, they rarely worked. He wanted to give a good fight, with minimal risk..........

[larryx]

um....ok oscar you're right...but didnt he fight and beat you at 154???????????wasnt that a risk???
