ESPN: Floyd Mayweather Needs To Grow Up

[2501]

Dude be honest, Cotto is pretty much shot after dealing with Plaster boy and Clottey for a combined 23 rounds. If Mayweather would have signed to fight him people would admit that. Since Cotto is fighting Pacquiao people act like its not true even though in their hearts they know it is.

Then really, do you think fans really want to see Mayweather against a 38 year old Mosley over a fight with 30 year old Pacquiao? If you believe that then I'm sorry dude, but you're ******ed. LOL.

How is it that Floyd can do no wrong in your eyes?

i love watchin him fight but the bottom line is floyd just isn't charismatic and that's why ppl don't get behind him.. it has nothing to do with him being black...

[Roxas]

I agree Mayweather is acting like an idiot but

"If boxing had a legitimate white superstar, the sport would be galvanized in a way we haven't seen since it appeared for free on network television. But that's a debate for another day, and it's unrelated to Mayweather's insecurities."

Got me most interested. I would like to live enough to see a white fighter taking all comers and legitimately dominate the sport for a while. Not hiding, not cherry picking, not fighting a couple 40 year olds and run for retirement. I'm talking about a Mayweather like domination on the 135 class or a Joe Louis domination in the 20's or the... Wait a minute. They do have dominant champions, the heavyweights. It might not be the greatest era of HW boxing but it certainly isn't the worst too and they both have beaten some good fighters and they seem to take all comers (if they lineup anyway). So Floyd is an idiot on this. He should shut up, this ain't selling Marquez.

Entertainer or not Black or White who freakin cares. if he would not "duck" everybody and step up it would be a little different. Braveheart never ducked S**t!!

Wow, articles written by white people offended that a ***** athlete would speak his mind! **** this guy his well written article still smells of **** Mayweather is right if he was a "Good *****" he'd be huge but because he speaks his mind he is a public hate figure.

Um, the author is Jemele Hill, a black female.

The thing is Floyds mouth has been cashing checks that his body and fists cant cash, and he has been doing this for a long time.

I'm cool with about 30 black men and about 28 of them hate and cant stand floyd. So from my personal experience I can say that the dude that said he is hated by whites and blacks stands true in my eyes.
He didnt say every single one he said the majority.
He isnt a super star like another guy said. There are 2 recent super stars in the sport one was Oscar and the other is Pac.

On the real. Why do black guys get so offended over a comment made.

Oh I didnt get the memo
