Floyd Mayweather is a bad advert for Boxing

[Deja_Vous]

mayweather isnt all that different from quite a few other all time greats who pulled his style of antics. If you know the sport historically, then you know there have been many other arrogant, brash and frustratingly mouthy boxers who have risen, fallen sometimes risen again or fell permenently. If you revolve your life and your time and energy into one guy and into hating him, you basically play into the game he laid out in the first place. The welfare of the sport doesnt revolve around one fighter and if you think it does, then i think you yourself need to step away from the computer and actually watch or pay attention to other fighters.

Supporting that fighter doesnt bring down some house of cards of a sport. That notion is asinine and misinformed.

He's just a bitter Rican.

And there is one major difference between them and Mayweather, they still fought the best fighters out there.

I guess. Guys like dempsey who defended the title i think 5 times in 7 years and went 2 whole years without defending it so he could be a celebirty. Or ray robinson, the day before a fight, would jack up his purse and threaten to no-show the next day unless he was paid. Or Ray Leonard winning a LHW title, without actually winning it against Lalonde. Or the way ray leonard retired when everyone thought he was on the brink of fighting marvin hagler, and eventually fought him when he knew he had lost a step (and still lost). OOOOOOR, ray leonard pulling ANOTHER comeback, on PPV against Terry Norris and getting his ass kicked etc. Cinderella Man also held the title for 2 years without defending it. Is this different from floyd having not fought a legit welter in 2 years from when he held the title? No.

Honestly. I could go on and on but you get my drift. You are taking your lust for a particular fighter way to far. Again, if you werent on the computer everyday, reading ever piece of gossip you could find like this was TMZ, would you honestly care? Mayweather has his share of quality fights, and might have more in the future. When that happens, thats fine with me, but even if it doesnt, its still fine with me, because i love the sport, not just one fighter.

I dont like any of these PBF antics one bit, its tired, but there is more to the sport than just him, my understanding of this allows me to not care all that much when he does it. I suggest you do the same and stop revolving yourself around one man.

Please dont compare Leonard to Mayweather.

Leonard fought and beat Hagler,Hearns,Duran,Benitez and what ever you think about him not giving them rematches, which he is not obliged to do, he still fought and beat Top fighters.

Take you ****** **** to the history section and see if people think Robinson is comparable to Floyd in how he picked and choose, dodged challenges.

You Maweather fans put foward some lame **** you really do.

I think you have a reading comprehension problem if you cant understand my underlying point. It was the antics i was comparing, not the resume. Anyone with a rational mind could see that. Robinson also picked and choosed as he got to the top, not only did he pick and choose, he dictated his cut of the purse, sometimes in a childish and frustrating manner.

You cant compare to PBF to Robinson resume wise, but their buisnessman ways are VERY comparable, if you know him as a fighter, you know this is the truth. Since you dont, its a little harder for you understand. If Robinson was around today, he would take every advantage of what fighters do today in this era.

You dont need to educate me on who they fought, i know this already. But i see you dont want to have an actual discussion to which you could benefit from a different perspective, ill leave you to you "PBF IS A ****IN PUZZY THE WORST FIGHTER IN THE SPORT" etc nonsense if thats all you can comprehend as far as conversation. Since i havent really seen anything that says you can contend with discussing the latter of those options.

Well who gives a damn about the antics ? i dont care what Mayweather does or says as long as he fights the best fighters out there, so what is your point ?

If Mayweather fights the best i have no problem with him.
