        Greenburg went on to add that Mayweather Jr's return to boxing may mean more to the sport because Boxing lacks the depth right now in star power: "Picture LeBron or Kobe taking off a couple of years and then coming back. Floyd may mean more to his sport than they do because we don't have the depth of star power in boxing as they do in those sports," stated Greenburg

            but his only problem with his draw is that he's black. being black wouldn't be a problem if he was a huge puncher like tyson. When MW ****s someone good he's hitting them with 60-75% of his total strength. He's not dumb and never overpunches because he knows and has seen the consequences. doesnt matter how common your color is if you can send marvis frazier's brain to neptune. but, alot of boxers are black, at least in america. alot of the good or decent ones are black. and, common things are normally ignored. like, a masoner that was good, but was black...wouldn't make a ****, but if the guy was white, it would. because blacks are known for being great masoners...

            however, mayweather fights in a fashion that ensures victory. Tyson fought in a fashion that ensured victory quickly. He was the guy who wanted to go home early, and as a short hw, you gotta be that way or you gonna get hurt. So, his style was proper for his height.

            Mayweather-Paciauo would be the biggest fight ever if MW would take it sooner than later, or come out right now and start calling him out. I've been working 60 hour weeks on top of training, so I haven't exactly been on top of public boxing news. But I know for sure when Mayweather fights Paciauo, Mayweather's gonna win and for one reason and one reason only....Mayweather is a better fighter, pure and simple. Paciauo is not one dimensional. He can do many things now, and has evolved. But mayweather is a different dog. Mayweather is infinite dimensional. He can do anything. He can brawl, he can box, he can throw a KO-caliber cross from nothing, he has more tools than a ****ing phone repairman.
            i really hope your psychotic ass bets your life savings on floyd and lose.

            you talk like you've seen the fight happen already.
            how do fans always predict things like this? like there isn't any intangibles....fanatic boxing fans are absolute failure to life. biased without an educated analysis provided. (flickers reason: cause pbf is my boyfriend) swearing by a guy for what reason? he's a better fighter? who says better fighters don't lose? don't ever talk like your absolute.....your just making an ass out of yourself.

              This is why Floyd shouldnt accept a 50-50 fight with Pacquiao.
              Because even HBO thinks he is the bigger draw.

                HBO President Greenburg made it clear: "Floyd's calling the shots for this fight to happen."

                talking about Pac vs Mayweather.

                    He's just trying to help floyd out in his negotiations with pac. but floyd will retire soon. Lebron and kobe have alot more left. Pacquiao means more to boxing. since mayweather left pacquiao had everyone in the palm of his hands.
