A Spoiled Floyd Mayweather Jr. Hurt Boxing

[Xcusemymood]

It is funny how people dont really appreciate Mayweather until he retired and U.S boxing went to ****!!

and now everybody wants him back...people need to start showing some respect and stop being a critic 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
You must realize (critics) that floyd is not your slave. You just cant demand he do something and when he doesnt do something he is now a piece of ****... It doesnt work that way.

This writer is just another hater plain and simple.
Why isnt he Demanding Kelly Pavlik step up and fight and be a U.S star
Why isnt he demanding Shane Mosley take on Paul Williams So it can be 2 american stars going at it.
Why isnt he asking anything for nobody but mayweather?

He says Floyd doesnt need to save boxing, but he writes a whole different story when the common denominator to all the problems in boxing right now and lack of exposure is floyd fault.

What about Bob Arum Protecting his fighters from Paul Williams?

This guy is nothing but hater plan and simple.

The only person he put accountability on was Floyd Mayweather.
and that right there is the Problem..!!

1:15- ON

Pretty clear Mayweather is held to a higher standard than anyone because he is so much better. Cut and Dry.

By Brent Matteo Alderson - A number of factors contribute to boxing’s dwindling coverage in the mainstream media, but nothing negatively impacts the sport more than the lack of blockbuster events involving big stars. [details]

Yeah, because of the billions of ****** ****ing problems with boxing, obviously Floyd is number 1.

Yawn.

I agree. He should have fought Cotto before retiring, and then no one would have had any legitimate complaints - but he didn't, unfortunately. Now if he comes out of retirement, he could really cement his ATG status by fighting Cotto and Mosley (because it's not clear which of them is the top Welter at this point).

If he fights Pac at 140, that would be great as well (but not instead of - at least one of Cotto or Mosley is more important for his legacy than Pac); but if his fans are saying he's not a natural Welterweight, then he has no excuse for fighting Pac at 147 or 144, IMO, he should fight him at 140.

Marquez doesn't have the frame or the track record to be considered a legitimate opponent above 135 at this point. Fighting him above 135 now would be okay for a tune-up fight but not for his legacy, unless Marquez beats a top 140 pounder first, and even then, the fight would have to be at 140 to be considered a legacy fight, IMO.

Good Article, as a Floyd fan i cant really argue against it... If Pac beats Hatton, a Floyd victory over Pac will be bigger than a Floyd victory over Cotto.

yes, to you it's all about haters. as if people go to sleep plotting against Mayweather ...

what I do know is this:
almost 2.2 million people in the U.S. payed to watch the DLH v. May fight..
not even half of that returned to watch the next, why?
now tell me, if Floyd would of done what Pacquiao did to Oscar that night
don't you think he would of had America in his pocket? exactly..

I think you are forgetting that De La Hoya(the highest grossing boxer of all time) was in the fight. Im not so sure its fair to compare that fight with the Hatton one. Your talking Oscar vs Floyd here man its gonna blow it all away.

For comparison....De La Hoya vs Pac didnt do nearly as good as PBF/Oscar either.

Also the De La Hoya FLoyd fought was at 154. Much stronger and not weight drained.

Its a fair comparison seeing as how the majority of Mayweather fans give him the most credit for the PPV numbers.

Step up your reading comprehension.


It doesn't say hes hurting boxing as of now.

It says he hurt boxing when he was active.

You want a burrito so you can shut the hell up?
I read the title not the article dummy.

No thanks on the burrito, I just had a grilled chicken salad.

But thanks.


However,


Even then, you still need to step up your comprehension game.

"A Spoiled Floyd Mayweather Jr. Hurt Boxing".


That is speaking in the past tense.

But yea, its nice to know you're racist.

[MatteoAlderson]

Bruseles was an eliminator for the Gatti fight.

Didn't Cotto fight Corley too????...AFTER Floyd fought him.??

I guess Cotto wastes fights too....I mean Micheal Jennings and Alphonse Gomez...LOL

A gimme title defense or two is ok, but for three years FLoyd fought Rick Frazier type bums, he wasted his career from 2003-2005
