[yeykax]

Another horribly biased article. JMM stays at FW for 135 years while Floyd has fought in 5 divisions but yet Floyd is the one picking on smaller men? come on now. Its a joke how people rip Floyd. Dude is the smaller man in 99% of his fights while JMM & Pac are the bigger man in 99% of there's. Its easy for Pac to move up when he's fighting other guys who are moving up and he's coming into the ring at 147 pounds when he's fighting at SFW. I would move up a million times too. Thats like Floyd going to WW and coming in the ring at 166 pounds while fighting a guy moving up from 140. Dude gets ripped non stop for nothing but it wont change so why get upset?

The guy is always making negative threads about Floyd... he pastes every negative article as if he gets a boner over them.

The guy is clearly biased, and every article he posts is clearly biased... the guy has been back 5 minutes and your already accusing him of ducking.

This guy, makes more Mayweather threads than anybody else...

The thing I will never understand is, Floyd has chosen to take on the role of bad guy/villian, and his fanboys say that role is beneficial to his drawing power because people will tune in and pay in order to see him lose. Ok, that i understand. What i dont understand is the fact that he and his fanboyz constantly *****, moan, and complain when Floyd gets hated on, when in fact, that is the purpose of the role he has taken on.

Yeah, but there doesn't have to be thread after thread bitching about it... I see people disliking him for whatever reason... but if you dislike him so much, why make constant threads about him?

Well it's now official!

As Floyd Mayweather began his media tour to announce the much-anticipated matchup between himself and Juan Manuel Marquez, it didn't take long for Pretty Boy Floyd to once again don the black hat, and portray himself in the role he seems to relish, that of the villain.

No one in the industry ever believed Floyd was really retired. For most, this was just an extended lay-off, a form of sabbatical in which Floyd would bide his time waiting to see what was going to happen in the sport, and more importantly in his division. While most are happy that he is back, there are others who have every reason to be critical of the self-proclaimed best fighter in the world.

Folks, there is no doubting the talent, or should I say the abundance of talent, which Floyd possesses. He is one of the rare athletes one sees in a lifetime who possesses such skill that you instantly compare him to the legends of the past.

I am however, at a loss to explain his rather bizarre and at best, illogical actions. While it is commendable to a degree, that he is taking on someone who I consider to be, along with Manny Pacquiao, the best fighter in the world, and while some may argue that weight is not a problem, to me it is clearly evident that Floyd is looking for a very distinct advantage.

Mayweather began his layoff at a time when there were a plethora of possibilities for him in the welterweight division. Margarito was the hottest fighter in the division, Cotto would have been a dream match-up at Madison Square Garden, and Mosley may have been, and may still be, the only one that can match speed with Pretty Boy. And that's just naming a few. Yet, instead of making one of these more than attractive matchups, Mayweather decided to pull himself out of the running and retire. Now after surveying the landscape, Floyd had decided that boxing 'needs' him.

While having Mayweather back in the sport is better for everyone, Floyd needs to answer the call.

Juan Manuel Marquez is a great fighter, a throwback warrior who has consistently thrilled fans and taken on all comers. In every aspect of his career, he has conducted himself as the best fighter in the world. In terms of talent, Mayweather is one of the greatest we have seen. While his style may not appeal to everyone, there can be no denying its quality.

The time has come however, and this from even the most ardent fans, for Mayweather to begin his quest in legitimizing his greatness by doing what all the greats of the past have done, and that is to take on the best fighters in your weight class, or higher, which ironically, is exactly what Juan Manuel Marquez is doing right now, and has done, his entire career.

good ****, great point! green k to u
