Floyd Mayweather’s Disrespect of Pacquiao is Nothing New

[Burner]

this is odd, mayweather actually said pac is a good fighter, he didint diss him, he simply said he wouldnt lose to him, and if you know mayweather, most of the time he wont tell you anything remotely complentary. this is even more odd since nobody fails to realize floyd was at a few of pacmans fights. cheering loudly for him.

I specifically remeber at one of the Morales fights yelling and screaming..


Its boxing..its a show...hes just building hype....

All part of the persona he adopted in response to the haters. After the fight he will show great class and respect, as he always does (assuming he wins at least). Even after the Judah fight, where he had all the right in the world to denounce Judah's tactics, he refused to say a bad word about him.

Pac is way higher above than Floyd on ATG List.. This guy doesn't duck competition and is willing to fight the best. He kills his opponents by KO. Floyd meanwhile rans in the ring like a coward and provides you with Boring Decision wins. He ducked everyone the fans want to see.. Everyone sees Pac a better P4P than Floyd had ever been.

I have a hard time taking "constructive" criticism of Floyd from someone who has a Floyd Rooster as an Avatar.

Floyd was a master at his style of defensive counterpunching style.
Pac is a forward plowing beast.

I respect both but Pac's is not technically in the same league as Floyd. What Floyd has can only be mastered with dedication on the level you just don't see anymore.

The trash talk gets old but it is the sport. I do agree that I am a bit nervous of a fight after two years off without a warm-up bout.

It is not disrescpect, but respect. Mayweather even praises Pacquiao. He only say he will beat him. This is boxing, he won't say Pac will beat him, nobody says such thing.

This article is just bad journalism.

Castillo didn't have the same skill as Mayweather, but he beat him in the first fight, didn't see the second, but will soon.

Mayweather won the first fight with a injured shoulder

That Mayweather quote was many, many moons ago, the writer just keep on rehashing it. Don't waste your time on this garbage article...

I cant understand how Floyd disrespected Pacman. He gave him a whole load of credit for beating De La Hoya. His a known fan of Pacquiao. These boxing writers just love stiring up trouble and pick on any little thing Floyd says.

Whats wrong with him saying he'll 'whoop Pacquiao's ass'...? There was no disrespect in that but he purely ment that he would beat him. The boxing worlds going on about this fight and he simply said he'd beat him if they fought.

Roach was the one who came out saying Floyds got flaws..... Why did'nt the boxing writers pick on that?

The guy who made the article has just made a big deal out of nothing.

Oh well, looks like Mayweather is a talker but the Pacman's fury in the ring will do all the talking for him. My sympathy for Floyd in 2009.

People say it's easy to be a hard-ass from behind a computer screen.... Well, I think its equally easy to be a hard-ass from behind retirement. Lennox Lewis and Floyd... lace up or SHUT UP!
