Floyd "needs money" Mayweather, LOL!

Here's a letter to Doug Fischer over at Ring. Pretty funny letter and even funnier response from Doug.

Doug,
As always I hope all is well with you and your family.

While it's not ground-breaking conventional wisdom I can't help but comment on how Floyd Mayweather, Jr. once again reminds the boxing world who/what he truly is: A highly skilled boxer who *severely* lacks self-confidence (*Emphasis added). However, where he does not fall short is boxing acumen and outside-looking-in ring intelligence.

I see a fraudulent snake who'll shamelessly insult our (fans and media alike) intelligence to no end. He's not disillusioned as I've heard him described before, he simply isn't honest but it's not by accident. The essence of PBF cannot be found until more folks (like you and some others) ignore the noise masked by words and convoluted salesmen pitching a fight. Soon enough it comes to reading the tea leaves - allowing for observation to outweigh what we're told to think. Post-Castillo, PBF changed his modus operandi, though most seem to disagree with my cynical view - I don't get why.

In what's largely a 'group-think' media I'm sure a win over JMM will reaffirm Floyd's place at the top of the sport. Little context will be placed on the contest and the clever con man will prevail once again.

So my question for you: Do you think that Floyd truly believes he can beat Manny Pacquiao? If the concluding response is a resounding no, should all prepare for yet another teary-eyed retirement party come June 18th?

Have a good one. -- Sean

You know what I think of Floyd “Needs Money” Mayweather Jr: Great talent and skill, without a great heart to go with it. He won’t fight anyone he doesn’t KNOW he can beat. Before he fights an elite fighter that fighter has to first look vulnerable in some way. Pacquiao hasn’t looked vulnerable in any category in his recent fights, so I don’t think Mayweather will actively pursue the Pac-Monster after his July 18 showdown with JM Marquez.

And by the way, I think Marquez is going to shock the s__t out of Needs Money. When’s the last time Mayweather took on a fighter as smart, skilled, experienced and gutsy as Marquez? This ain’t Carlos Baldomir, a faded Oscar De La Hoya, or a made-to-order Ricky Hatton, this is Juan-Mother-F__king-Marquez he’s stepping in the ring with, the man who gave Manny Pacquiao pure hell last March and then knocked out Joel Casamayor and Juan Diaz.

This broke-ass fool better be ready to defend his legacy come July 18.

[Shattered Jaw]

While I agree Marquez is an exceptional fighter I fear this may be quite a bit jump for him. Floyd looks like a pretty normal WW, while Marquez looks fairly small at lightweight.

I agree that Baldomir and Hatton (who was previously almost KOed by Collazo) were less than stellar competition considering the hype for Cotto/Mayweather was huge at the time (as well as Margarito and Williams being around). However, I consider Floyd's win over DLH a good win for him, although it was a very close fight. DLH was a bit bigger than him and was flurrying a lot of shots and trapping Floyd against the ropes. I do agree that post Castillo, Floyd cherry picked to get to Oscar and then just took the Hatton fight as it was an 'easy' massive payday for him. I guess you could say Baldomir was THE champion though so you can't blame him for going for that fight. What you can do though it blame him for holding the linear title hostage for so long and defending it against Hatton of all people, who has no buisiness at WW.

I believe Floyd will pursue a fight with Pac, if everything works 'out as planned'.

I don't know of any broke man that can go buy a $400,000 Lambo to announce his comeback or open a new gym. You're right this is a funny reading

[chibomber]

This is pretty funny especially coming from doug hes a real stand up guy that knows his boxing and is not usually a nut hugger like steve kim. But i kind of agree with him to a point regarding how mayweather might be surprised at how good marquez really is. Marquez is not great but he isnt a pushover either.
