Roger Mayweather: Pacquiao Will Get His Ass Whooped

[baracuda]

Arum started working with Mayweather after he turned pro, following the 1996Olympics. When the promoter saw the 19-year-old's smile and effervescent personality, he envisioned the next Sugar Ray Leonard. In fact, he enlisted Leonard to mentor the young Mayweather on how to sand the rough edges and create a champion the public could embrace.

But it never took. Early in his career, Mayweather found himself in a private jet with two other Arum clients—Leonard and De La Hoya. The would-be mentors understood that polishing an image makes a fighter a more bankable draw, both during and after his career (see page 56). They saw Mayweather's promise and gave him suggestions on how to dress and how to handle the media. "You can be the next Sugar Ray Leonard," De La Hoya told him. "Keep winning and keep smiling."
Recalling the conversation now, De La Hoya says, "I was talking, but I knew it was pointless. It was going in one ear and out the other."

The message from Mayweather was clear: You do your thing, and I'll do mine. The etiquette lesson ended with De La Hoya and Leonard talking to each other while Mayweather just stared out the window.

The hype continues for the biggest fight in boxing, Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao. The Mayweather clan is getting a bit angry. A every turn they get asked about Pacquiao. Mayweather returns on July 18 against Juan Manuel Marquez. Pacquiao will likely wait until then to choose his next opponent. Most insiders see a Pacquiao-Mayweather bout taking place, but others believe the fight won't happen because the two sides will never agree on the split of the money. Both are looking for at least 60-40 in their favor. [details]

Did Roger burn Hatton's gear yet?

You wanted proof so I gave you proof. Everyone saw that Mayweather Jr
was the next Sugar Ray Leonard, even Sugar Ray Leonard. Your denying
this proof?

Do you think Mayweather would beat Sugar Ray Leonard? Really? I think SRL mops with the floor with Mayweather. He took on the real Hitman in Hearns and stood up to that **** for over 12 rounds. What could Mayweather Jr possibly do to beat SRL in that fantasy matchup?

Oh yeah, I forgot. It would have never happened. He'd just say "SRL isn't on my level" and ***** out.

[mrosborne]

Oh and not to mention, SRL STOMPED FMJ's daddy's ASS in the ground. Shoulder roll that, *****!

Haha, just kidding. Sounded funny though : )

i think floyd would fight his best fight ever against pacman..cause he genually feels threatened .....this fight would be action packed

Yeah..if the only way its gonna be action packed is if FLoyd Jr. actually come out of hiding and trade punches, and if he does he will get knock the **** out. With that said..its gonna be action packed, its because PACQUIAO will make it action packed, not FLOYD JR.

We're not talking about what if fights, so save that for the comics.
We were talking about how Mayweather Jr was viewed by his peers,
at least that's what I thought it was about. I'm sure Mayweather
would have fought Ray Leonard because Leonard was a big $ fight
and Floyd couldn't or wouldn't resist. Floyd chased all the best fighters
and none wanted any. He even chased Mosley and Oscar to 147.
I can prove all of this but can you prove that he didn't?

Yeah, base on this statement FLOYD JR.. has been disrespectful since day one..Thank you for this post, exactly why I hate FLOYD...both SRL and DLH are and future hall of famers. Both SRL AND DLH just trying to be a mentor and this ****er floyd shoots them down and downright disrespect..You wanna be respected you got to learn how to respect back. I can't wait for the day for someone to beat that piece of ****. To many, a champion with humility is the one that is respected the most. Whether he loses or retires again undefeated, I will never give respect or let my kids idolize an athlete like FLOYD JR.. to some morals are more important..

There's all the difference in the world between saying a young fighter has the talent to become the next Sugar Ray Leonard, which is what that article said, and saying that a fighter has done enough in his career to match the record of SRL, which it didn't say. And your quote said nothing to back up your statement that "Sugar Ray Leonard has stated that Floyd Mayweather Jr is the greatest fighter of all time."
