3:39 | Michael David Smith: Welcome to the FanHouse live chat with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Floyd will join us at 5 PM ET, and you can start posting your questions now. |
3:56 | Michael David Smith: Floyd will be on in about five minutes. Keep the questions coming. |
4:10 | [Comment From jonathan] Floyd has making the catch weight been difficult or is the lower weight natrual for you? |
4:11 | Michael David Smith: Floyd Mayweather: Yeah, it's a welterweight fight and I'll be ready to go on Saturday night. |
4:11 | [Comment From Charlie] Where do you think you rank in boxing history? Do you consider yourself the best ever? |
4:12 | Michael David Smith: I'll let the fans judge that when my career is over. I want to take on the best compettiion over the course of my career. I want to control the things I can control, which is to fight the best in my era. I can't fight the people from Ray Leonard's era or any other era, but I want to beat the best in my era. |
4:12 | [Comment From Jerome] Is Marquez the best opponent you have fought? I think he is better than Hatton or De La Hoya. |
4:12 | Michael David Smith: Floyd Mayweather Jr Come Saturday night I guess we'll find out. I know he's a tremendous fighter. At this point I can't say if he's the best I've fought because I haven't faced him yet, but tune in Saturday and be the judge of that. |
4:13 | [Comment From wayne] Do you think the 24/7 show portrays you fairly? In my opinion Juan Manuel Marquez is made out to be a nice family man and you're made out to be the villain |
4:13 | Michael David Smith: Floyd Mayweather Jr: I have a problem with some things that have been done on that. But that's all I'll say. Next question. |
4:13 | [Comment From Kim] Do you really hate the UFC? I like both MMA and boxing and I wish they weren't on at the same time. |
4:14 | Michael David Smith: Floyd Mayweather: I don't hate anybody. I'm not the least bit concerned with what they're doing. They're totally separate businesses. They do what they do and I do what I do and I'm not the least bit concerned with what they're doing. |
4:14 | [Comment From Doug] What did you think of Bob Arum's comments concerning you? Were you surprised? |
4:15 | Michael David Smith: Floyd Mayweather jr: I haven't heard what Bob Arum said but the bottom line is that Bob Arum is a very old, grumpy man, and he is just mad because he got out-smarted by my team. It's as simple as that. Beyond that I don't get caught up in what people say about me. He's mad becuse he got outsmarted. That's the bottom line. |
4:15 | [Comment From Steve] What did you do while you were off the past two years? What made you decide to come back now? |
4:16 | Michael David Smith: Floyd Mayweather Jr: I spent a lot of quality time with my kids. I've taken some time just to get to know myself better. The fans are what made me decide to come back now, because no matter where I went, they asked me when I was coming back. My decison to come back was based on that. |
4:16 | [Comment From Shawn Poe] After you put the beats on Marquez will you go about your retirement? |
4:17 | Michael David Smith: Floyd Mayweather Jr: No. I'm looking to make the biggest fights that are out there. My focus is solely on Saturday night and nothing else. |
4:17 | [Comment From Shawn Poe] What song will you come out to on saturday? |
4:17 | Michael David Smith: Floyd Mayweather Jr: If I tell you that, it takes away the element of surprise. You have to tune in Saturday night and you'll get an answer to that one. |
4:17 | [Comment From Lou] Floyd..how are you My question is after you destroy Juan is Manny next on your radar? |
4:18 | Michael David Smith: Floyd Mayweather Jr: I'm not thinking about nobody else but Marquez. All roads lead through me anyway. No matter what anybody says, all roads lead through me, so I'm not thinking about any other guys. I don't chase fights, I create them. |
