For all you Mayweather heads....

[T-97]

The more i think about it, i really don't think that Mayweather is going to fight Pacquiao.

Think about it: Pacquiao is on fire right now. He's fighting real hard right now. Pacquiao will probably fight 3 time next year at least.

Mayweather hasn't competed at the top level since Hatton, and that was last year.

Pacquiao might have that little killer edge right now, because he's been in the ring.

Mayweather would be smart NOT to take this fight. Even if the money's there. I don't think it's worth it. It would make a good fight. But i don't think it's worth it. Mayweather already has proven himself.

I think this was Floyds plan, maybe not specifically Pac but..

He hoped someone would build themselves up while he was gone, so everyone calls for that fight, claims he'll never take it etc. Now Pac seems to have filled that, especially when he is fighting 2 former Mayweather opponents, which just adds to the hype..

And whats the point of that? Floyd fans knows that Cotto is Floyds biggest threat and you will make any type of excuses, to make your boy look good, ducking Cotto. He is simpe ducking him, but of course Cotto is not on Floyds level, you need to be undefeted, win titles in every division and be a ***** like floyd to fight him!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I think Williams (Provided he can make 147) is the biggest threat to Mayweather. Just to clarify though, i'm a big Cotto fan, and not a fan of Williams, that's just the way I see it..

Yep, I think that he could get up mentally for a fight with Pac. About the lay-off, I think it could benefit him somewhat. I doubt Floyd will have gotten into bad habbits to get out of shape, but the break from all the hard training will have given his body a break.

Breaks can be overrated. I still haven't come across which ESPN series it was, maybe one of the "Ringside" specials, but one of the Old timers said that "inactivity kills a fighter and that a fighter should fight at least every 3 months to stay in top form." Freddie Roach as well as Flody Sr. seem to agree with this. Now, maybe it changes as you get older, but, it would just mean you are not the same if you have to take longer to recharge.

Also, Leonard had some problems in his comebacks.

Cool interview:



Mike was actually saying he wanted to be more active as early as the Bruno fight. Don King is a piece of **** and Tyson is an idiot for going with him.

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Actually, I think Williams (Provided he can make 147) is the biggest threat to Mayweather. Just to clarify though, i'm a big Cotto fan, and not a fan of Williams, that's just the way I see it..

Williams is a threat to everybody, 147-160. But in reality Cotto have been Floyds booggieman for a while now. And when it was time to fight, Floyd retire!!!!!!!!!

I know I am using polls, but these are boxing fans

There are more Floyd fans on here than any other site I've seen.

On ESB, it seems less biased in favor of Floyd. I was reading an article on there yesterday ('There Goes The Neighborhood': Floyd Mayweather Jr. Resurfaces Making Much Noise!) and in the comments Floyd was errr.... not very popular, to put it mildly.

Yes. Boxing Scene appears to harbor more Floyd fanboys.

Diego's mental state was way off. He was going through legal battles at the time. I'm not sure if the win over Diego was as fantastic as some make it out to be.

Williams probably has a better defense than Diego. Margo wouldn't even feel Floyd's punches! He would laugh and say "OK, stop tickling me now, we're supposed to be fighting."

I think it was the beating of the wife thing with Diego...yes, no..not the right time?

Either way, Diego doesn't seem like it would effect him that much but maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe it is overrated but what does that say about Pac's wins over Morales? Isn't that highly overrated and the loss to him in the first fight hurts even more; although a faded Morales is still a good fighter. A dead Morales is just, well, dead.

Lots of fights can be overrated if we base it on the circumstances...which I am all for.

I can't see Floyd hurting Margarito which is why it would be a tougher fight. Margarito is still slow and plods his way forward. With Mayweather's skills at the time he fought Diego, Floyd would just shoot and run all night to a victory against Margarito.

Against Williams, it's a different story.

I love his boxing skill. But i'm not fond of the man outside of the ring. I don't even think i would get his autograph. Probably just a pound and a chit chat and a wussup, but i dunno about an autograph.

Whatever, I agree with these guys:

Maywethers coming back what a suprise that is!! I knew his ego wouldnt take being out of the lime light for too long.

Ffloyd has lost all respect from true boxing africianados, not because of his showing in the ring, but outside it. Having the option to be a gentleman, or an imitation street punk from the hood, he chose the latter. Too bad, because tho he will be in the hall of fame it won't be as a person worthy of full respect, but a braggard man without the real sensistivity of a full human being. Frankly I don't care what he does. A man that choses to act like a punk, is a punk. Go on and sue me. Call me swamp gas. But not collect.

I believe it would be the other way around. Margarito is a strong but straight ahead fighter that Mayweather would pick apart and frustrate with movement. As good and as durable as he appears, Margarito would lose by decision against Mayweather. On the other hand, Cotto would chase Mayweather into a corner and make him fight. I personally believe that's a fight Mayweather would lose. Despite the loss to Margarito, Cotto poses the biggest threat to Mayweather (with the exception of Williams, which would be suicide for Mayweather). And unless something strange goes on, I doubt that Mayweather will fight any of them, opting to face Hatton in England, then "retiring" again, leaving Pacquiao and the gang to sort out the puzzle for themselves. Thanks.

Im a big hatton fan and feel floyd would beat him again perhaps not as easily though. i appreciate floyds skills especially his defence but untill he grows some real balls and has a go with margarito i will never fully respect him. That fight would seal his legacy in my opinion. go on floyd prove to us you got the bottle

There is no doubt Mayweather posseses legendary skills. But there is also no doubt his social skills are primitive , and while he's a genius at boxing , he's basically an *******. Funny thing is there are many who seem to admire him for ignorant behavior as much as for his impecible boxing skill. A fight between him and Paqauio would be pure dynamite and the most competitive of Floyds career. Forget fighting the Welterweights, lets see Floyd take on the much improved, in his prime Paq at 140 or some catch weight thereabouts. But will it happen or is Floyd just looking for attention ?
22.12.08 @ 18:51:31

Who Cares??
I agree with SWAMP GAS. Mayweather is an imatation street punk. Quit boxing instead of facing Oscar in a rematch and talked trash when the turnbuckle knocked out Hatton. I never said that he isn't a good fighter, but he's not the best. Although he may be the biggest punk. Also, this article said he resurfaces making much noise? But then the article itself does not tell us about any noise he is making? So my take is that the author is just trying to make the noise.

Mayweathers got alot more work to do before he can even be considered the best of all time. Bloke down under's got it spot on. The man's amazing but no bottle. i would honestly put him up there as one of the top 2-3 ever if he beats the remaining few out there in Cotto, Margarito, Pacquioa, Williams and without a doubt rematch with hatton. Sugar Ray Robbison fought carmen basillio who stepped up in weight, he took on the best at welter, he fought la motta 6 times and a few more fights i dont even know about. Those guys fought at least 10 times a year but like i always say its quality not quantity but in mayweathers case, its neither.

I never believed his "retirement", it was a cynical business move designed to make a higher rate for his next fight. Did anyone think that he really was "retired". Fight Williams please, and stop playing me for a fool.

I'd like to see Floyd against Pac. Freddie Roach had an interesting comment. He said that if Floyd and Manny ever fight and Floyd stays against the ropes and does the shoulder roll like he did against Oscar, Manny will beat the shi- out of him.

Also Pacquiao is now a Super Lightweight and I have no doubt that he won't even look in Margarito's direction. So unfortunally bring on option 3.

all we can be sure of is this - he won't fight a real welterweight. this guy is the biggest phoney in boxing.

I hate this game playing bull crap....hope he gets his ass whipped by the PACMAN... take the fight at a catch of 143 tough guy...

Really...what a surprise, everyone knows the only reason Floyd retired is because he wanted the "heat" to die down. Assuming he comes back to Welterweight (my bet is that he pulls a Vitali Klitschko and goes for the WBC Super Welterweight title in which he is "Emirtus Champion") he can say how Cotto is not marketable now that he has no title and has 1 loss, Paul Williams is no longer a Welterweight so there goes that threat, Who is Andre Berto? and I'm sure he'll say the same thing about Clottey. C'mon people they don't call him Floyd "Duck and Avoid" Mayweather Jr. for nothing.

Reading all your comments its clear to see we're still not satisfied with floyd. Eveyone's throwing these names foward like Margarito, Paul Wiliams and pacquioa and how only then will we be satisifed with him as the greatest ever. Personally i too think floyds got something to prove. i dont think hes ever had to dig in deep. He's never been pushed to the brink, hes never been in a war - taken in to the trenches. All the other big names have, cotto, margarito, hatton, , Marquez, pacman. some have fallen and some have rose to the occassion. But its a defining moment in a boxers career, its the only time we see who the true champions are, the ones who go just that little bit further. Push themsleves just that little bit harder. who dont hide behind the jab but keep getting hit and keep coming foward. If floyd really wants it i believe he could clear up and become the greatest of all time, but hes gotta want it. If you never try, you just never know what your worth.

If Pitterpatterweather comes back he'd better face a real top welter like Margo, Cotto, Williams, ect. Otherwise he's cherry picking err umm.

Floyd may well have the beating of the best at WW, but that's no excuse not to fight them. If you want to participate in a sport and proclaim yourself the best, PROVE IT. Oh and Howard Davis, stop using the race excuse as reason he is generally disliked. Tyson was black and a convicted rapist and is STILL more popular than Floyd. He just has no charisma and his fights lack excitement. Add the fact he is perceived to be ducking the best challenges and you have a package that's hard for the general public to get behind.

As much as i dislike PBF, he is an excellent BOXER. But the reason we dont like him is because he's not a fighter. He doesnt get involved in wars because he's more boxer than fighter and an excellent one at that. Its unfair to give him a hard time over not being involved in a 'war' or never having to dig deep - simply, he's never had to and is too good to get drawn into that. If we're honest, the only fighter that we can say with sureity that could give him trouble is pacman. I love Hatton, but he had his chance and, and uncomfortable couple of early rounds aside, he was totally dominated. Someone suggested a catchweight at 143 for a pacman fight - good idea. But failing that, could we not ask pacman to step up again? He proved his power against dela hoya and - God willing - he'd show it again PBF.

PBF dont have the balls to face a MARGARITO or WILLIAMS we can safely count those fights out-peace

Without going into a long drawn out ramble, why did Mayweather retire when there are still plenty of fighters to fight?

I mean, wouldn't you want to build your legacy? Mayweather's only 31. He still has maybe a few tough fights left in him.

Why didn't he fight Cotto? Why didn't he fight Margarito? Why didn't he fight Clottey? Why didn't he fight Williams? Why didn't he fight Mosely?

He already said why, genius. He's got no more fire.
