    Why are the Ring so negative towards Floyd as of late?

    Doug Fischer just made another article critisizing him regarding this whole Mosley fiasco.

    So in the last 2 weeks they've critisized him for fighting Marquez; they made rumours that the fights at 147; they've put him 2nd to Pacquiao in the top fighter of the decade list (when the years not even over yet), and now have made this article.

    The thing is, they not one mentioned when Floyd called out Mosley after the Brusseles fight. It must have slipped their mind!

    You know, its one thing being biased but they actually seem as if they hate the guy.


    These guys should be more subjective.

    Cuz that mag is owned by GBP.. they want him to fight mosely.. so it's a personal attack to try and force Floyd to fight moseley after JMM (whether he wins or loses)

      I think we'll see Floyd fight JMM, Pac will duck Floyd for Cotto, Floyd will fight SSM, then after Cotto KOs Pac, Floyd will finish his career vs. Cotto.

          If that was the case they should have brang up how Floyd called Mosley out in 2004 and Mosley's response was that he had to go to the dentist.


          Did this not happen? Am i lying?

            Its nothing got to do with GBP. These writers write what they want. Their all well known writers. These ent Golden Boy writers. These are boxing writers.


            Nothing to do with GBP. GBP dont influence whats written.

              Then they should be slamming Cotto for squatting on vacated titles or Manny for cherrypicking the sorriest mofo at 135.

              Look at Kelley Pavlik's last fights...bum after bum.

              Why not mention all the fighters at 147 that DUCKED Williams.


              If you're going to call a spade a spade then be CONSISTANT.

                  unfortunately, it not only The Ring who has negative words for Mayweather.....look at the other Boxing websites, they are all saying the same thing

                  I was elated when I read tha Mayweather has a list....ill be happier to support him if he did fight everyone on that list.....

                    floyd in his earlier days wanted to establish himself and would do whatever it takes - he constantly called out the best and ducked no-one at the lower weights. he did what he had to do to establish himself as a genuine boxing HOF and PPV attraction.

                    however since hes been at 140 and especially since hes been at 147 he has been cherry picking fights, he is in a priveliged position since working hard to establish himself and rightly wants to reap the fruits of his labour.

                    whats annoying alot of fans and especially the hardcore fans is seeing a fighter like mayweather make so much money and attract so much interest. this attention is diverted from other fights that are more meaningful fights - clottey/cotto and haye/klitch are just 2 examples of fights that should receive more attention that mayweather but won't.

                    this is what annoys me anyways,
