The truth about Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[Chuckguy]

"No question, no doubt, it is what it is. You can't hate on what's in front of your face. Bottom line is, pound for pound god, of 2007, of my era, or our era, is Pretty Boy Floyd."

- Bernard Hopkins

"He's a great fighter. He is the pound for pound king of 2007 - of this era."

- Shane Mosley

"The best pound for pound champion in the world, no doubt about it, Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather."

- Oscar De La Hoya

"He's an amazing fighter. He's one of the few fighters I've ever seen, like Muhammad Ali - he watches every move his opponent makes, and capitalizes on those mistakes. That's a gift. You can't teach that. Floyd's number one of this era. He's fought the best of this era."

- Sugar Ray Leonard

The truth is he's simply the best fighter alive today. All you haters can hate all you want, but you are simply blinded by the truth. And the truth hurts. Even the best know Mayweather is the best. As Hopkins said, it is what it is. Don't hate on what's in front of your face.

Dont get confused man
There are haters like myself but we all hate for different reasons.
I think he is no doubt pound for pound king
but I hate on him cause I want to see him fight better opposition
he can fight mosley, cotto , and Clottey
but he is going for pac (cause of the money, it is what it is) but he still wont fight any of the 3 after that
Sugar Ray Leonard is punch drunk if he thinks Floyd has fought the best cause everyone knows he hasnt
but based on skill alone he is the best
based on fighting the best out there he is far behind

Floyd is great.....but afraid to take chances since he blew up and got mega rich/famous

[Walt Liquor]

hatton didn't want none at 140

arum was never gonna let pbf fight cotto

mosley had a toothache

margo is a cheater

pwill is too big

arum had clottey on the backburner

so who could floyd have fought that was an A fighter?

ever hear of Kostya Tszyu?

[Chuckguy]

arum wasn't gonna let cotto near floyd anyways.

clottey wasn't even on the map and lost to margo.

margo is a cheater.

pwill is just too big for floyd; *****... pwill beat a plastered margo.

All [/I]

All I hear is excuse excuse excuse
Clottey is on the map now-Floyd wont fight him
Margo is a cheater now but what about the past 2-3 years????
-Floyd would never fight him cheater or not
Pwil is too big for floyd yet ya'll want Mosley and Cotto to fight him
get real man
the thing is you guys are not realistic fans you guys are beyond nutthuggers

judah,oscar and hatton arnt c-class

Really? Oscar that got his ass handed to him by Felix Sturm, BHOP, PacMan and was given hell by STEVE FORBES wasn't C Class? Judah, who was flattened by Tszyu and has never won a big fight???? OK he's B class, which is exactly what Hatton is at 147. He barely beat Collazo and went running back to 140. At 140 he is A class.

[Spiegelo]

ever hear of Kostya Tszyu?

Yeah the dude that took nearly a 2 year layoff as Floyd came up, then has 2 fights and loses to Hatton, who admittedly did not want to cash out against Floyd just yet.

You are showing some true colors as being biased here. Oscar who got his belt by one sided KO, and was WAY bigger than Floyd. I wanted Oscar to win don't get me wrong, but Floyd put on a great show that night in what at least I can admit was an entertaining fight that Floyd definitely won (despite what a few crybabies think). Oscar who considered retirement, then was given hell by Forbes (although despite an entertaining back and forth fight, Oscar more or less won EVERY round). And although I thought Hatton lost to Collazo, everyone was talking about Ricky destroying Floyd, and how Floyd never fought anyone at 140-147, so yeah an undefeated 2 division champ is a good win. And losing to Collazo hardly makes you a bum, he's a world class fighter. Also, Judah, who never won a big fight (despite being undisputed champ...reallly?) has had his share of disappointments, but when he takes his training camp seriously he's one of the scariest fighters on the planet. He clearly gave Floyd everything he had in a close hard fought fight, and then got broken down and destroyed at the end. Floyd is a 5 division world champ, get off his nuts.

Please refresh my memory on the 2 year layoff? Floyd was gone from 140 like he stole something Last I checked, Floyd was at 140 for 1 year and fought Bruseles, Gatti and Corley. Then he fought Tszyu's leftovers Sharmba and Zab at 147. Tszyu beat Sharmba into submission right around the time Floyd fought Gatti.

[Pullcounter]

ever hear of Kostya Tszyu?

when could floyd have fought tszyu??? tszyu was semi-retired. sharmba mitchell was tszyu's mando once tszyu came back. hatton offered tszyu the most money and then tszyu lost.

again, when could this fight have been made?

All [/I]

All I hear is excuse excuse excuse
Clottey is on the map now-Floyd wont fight him

clotty is still marginalized. he will still be marginalized if he doesn't beat cotto... which is unlikely on PR parade day.

Margo is a cheater now but what about the past 2-3 years????

How do you know margo didn't cheat for the past 2-3 years?

-Floyd would never fight him cheater or not

how do you know how well margo would've done if he didn't cheat (that is if he did cheat)??? maybe all of margo's success is from cheating. if he didn't cheat maybe he wouldn't have gotten all the attention he did in the first place.

Pwil is too big for floyd yet ya'll want Mosley and Cotto to fight him
get real man

i don't think mosley or cotto have to fight pwill

the thing is you guys are not realistic fans you guys are beyond nutthuggers

bhop, mosley, srl, these guys called floyd the greatest of this generation... not me. you can quote them on that.
