Can someone PLEASE do me a favor

[DLT]

I feel like a idiot for asking this because I dont know how to do it. I also feel like a idiot because I know that most of you dont like Floyd anyway but theres a article on Boxing Talk right now that has 2 parts to it and I was wondering could someone make a thread about it and bring it over here because I dont know how to do that. It is free right now.

I want to do it because he has said alot of things in it that I have said on here about him and other things.

Thanks, I hope

**Post was too long here it is in 2 parts**

Before **********.com was able to get our first question in, undefeated pound for pound Picasso Floyd Mayweather Jr. told **********.com, "An incident took place in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I was not guilty, but I pleaded no contest just so I could get the Gatti fight. When Diego Corrales caught a case I didn't complain or worry, we fought like two champions are supposed to. I'm wondering why Arturo Gatti and his camp worried about what I do outside of the ring? It's not like I'm bringing a gun or kicking anyone inside the ring, I use my hands. When we do get in the ring he's going to think I got a razor in my hand from the way I cut him up! It's going be like my gloves was razors. My thing is this, my team told me if I plead no contest and get everything clear I was going to get the fight with Arturo Gatti." You don't want to miss what else Mayweather had to say in this MUST READ exclusive interview.

"I signed a contract before Arturo Gatti signed a contract. I had already signed the contract."

GL: But why...

FM: (cutting in) "But I'm going to tell you what happened. They offered me a certain amount of money to fight Gatti and I signed it. Then they came back and brought me another contract for less money and I said no, so that's what happened."

GL: And when you say they, you're referring to Top Rank correct?

FM: "I already signed because Bob Arum is my promoter, but then he came back with another contract for less than what he offered me. But we've got more than enough time to promote this fight. This guy's done nothing but duck and dodge me. He's been ducking and dodging me from the begining.

"Oscar De La Hoya has been ducking and dodging for a while now too. Now he's talking about coming down to 147, but I'm trying to figure out, why wouldn't Oscar want to fight a guy that's undefeated? Wouldn't he love to give me my first loss? Oscar De La Hoya has no heart! He's scary and he's a quitter. I saw him quit against Bernard Hopkins and he's lost to some other guys, but I want to put the finishing touches on him and send him out on his face or his back."

GL: Let's try to focus on Gatti for a minute Floyd.

FM: "I don't need to focus on Gatti because that's the easiest work in boxing for me. "

GL: Last week Main Events and Gatti told me the fight was off because you didn't sign by their deadline. However, you're Gatti's mandatory challenger. Do you think Gatti would lose his title before his fights you?

FM: "I think he wants to give me his belt because he damn sure doesn't want to fight. Larry Merchant tried to criticize me from how many fans I had at my last fight, but listen, I could go and do exactly what Arturo Gatti does. I could fight in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in front of the best boxing fans in the world and sell 14,000 tickets. I'll sell it out every month. This guy has been ducking and dodging me for the longest."

GL: Why don't we try to put the Gatti people on the phone with us now?

FM: "Go ahead, put him on the phone."

At this point **********.com conferenced in Gatti's manager Pat Lynch in attempt to put Mayweather and Gatti on the phone at the same time. Lynch didn't pick up but Floyd left the following message on his voice-mail.

---------------

"Yeah Pat Lynch, you know who this is, they call me Pretty Boy Floyd. You can't keep ducking and dodging me the paperwork is done so let's make this happen. Flashy and flamboyant forever, Gatti get ready because on June 11 you're going out on your face or your back, it's your choice so holla back."

--------------

FM: "And that's how we're doing it. I'm telling you these guys is scared of me man I'm a threat to these guys. My dad has been training Oscar De La Hoya and he says he's made him a better fighter, well, quitting's not in my heart. I don't knock my father because he's got to make his living and he's one of the best at what he does, but there's no way his training skills could match my fighting skills, not in a million years. And if my dad was on top of his game and I was on top of my game, I'd beat my father easily. Shane Mosley? He could get it. "

GL: It sounds like if Gatti doesn't want to do this you're got your wishlist all sorted out.

FM: "If Gatti doesn't want to fight I would love to fight Shane Mosley."

GL: I spoke with Vivian Harris earlier and he said you've been ducking an dodging him.

FM: "I'm going to tell you something and I'm going to be honest with you. I didn't even know who he was until I saw him on a Nas video and somebody told him he's a champion. I didn't even know who he was until then. Guys who fight on HBO, Showtime and ESPN are the guys I know of because I seen them fight. I never seen Vivian Harris fight at all. I don't even know who he is.

"And you know this is what's killing me in the fight game. Who has Arturo Gatti beaten to make himself legendary? What? He got punished by Micky Ward, a journeyman? But you know how Gatti is, he just knocked out a guy who was 40 years old. You know how Gatti is, he fights journeyman. I want the champions.

"People say so why did he fight Henry Bruseles then? Well because I was supposed to get Gatti and then the Cotto people sent him in there as a crash dummy to have an idea of what would happen to Cotto. But you know what Henry Bruseles would beat Arturo Gatti. They're not on the same level."

GL: If it's not Gatti will your next fight definitely be a marquee fight?

FM: "I'm trying to fight Oscar man. I'm chasing this man."

GL: Oscar has told me that he wouldn't fight you because your father trains him and he has too much respect for your father.

FM: "I don't talk to my father, what my father does is his own business. But if my daddy got heart, let's see if his training skills can match my boxing skills. I'm already with the best trainer in the world, Roger Mayweather is the best trainer in the world hands down. Roger Mayweather is the reason why I am three time world champion."

[Mech.]

GL: As much as you've been talking about becoming a PPV fighter, how disappointing would it be if your next fight doesn't take place against on HBO PPV? "If it doesn't take place it's because he's ducking and dodging me. I'm literally chasing this guy down. It's like with De La Hoya, do I have to go to his crib in Puerto Rico or his crib in L.A.? I got a crib in L.A. too and we could meet somewhere and have a good brunch or something. And then there's ****ty Shane Mosley, you know ****ty Shane Mosley doesn't want no parts of me." Read on to see what one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world had to say.

"Answer me this, didn't they have Roy Jones Jr. rated #1 p4p? Didn't he beat Bernard Hopkins? So how is Hopkins ahead of me p4p then? You should rate pound for pound on how well guys do when switching weight classes. If that's the case I could have stayed at 130 and milked the title for years. Hopkins is 6'2 and he should be fighting at super middleweight."

GL: I'll be honest with you, I rate Bernard Hopkins over you pound for pound because he was a world champion before you even fought at the Olympics and he still hasn't lost.

FM: "Pound for pound has to do with guys who move up in weight. Why do you think Sugar Ray Robinson is known as one of the best pound for pound fighters in the history of boxing? Pound for pound goes by how many different weight classes you could change. You can't rate a fighter pound for pound if he's staying in the same weight class."

GL: I feel you Floyd, but to each his own.

FM: "True champions take chances."

GL: Are you trying to say that Bernard Hopkins is not a true champion?

FM: "I'm not saying that. It's time for him to step up and go to different weight classes. I look at it like this. Oscar De La Hoya gets dropped by a body shot and starts to beat the canvas but he can't get up? Don't beat the canvas, beat the guy that did this to you. And the shot wasn't even hard and then a week later they're partners sitting next to each other at a fight. If you see me at a fight it's sitting next to a female. I don't go to a fight to sit next to a dude."

GL: Floyd I'll be honest with you, I think you've got all the talent in the world and you have all of the tools to become a PPV star, but it's almost like you're a recluse from the media. Usually to become a PPV star you need to deal with the press a lot more often.

FM: "The thing is this, we need more reporters like you that write what they're hearing and what the fighters and people tell them instead of just writing whatever they want to write. Dave Mayo, he's from own hometown and all he's tried to do is tear me down.

"Gatti is scared of me, he was dismantled by Angel Manfredy and I made easy work out of him in two rounds. Guys in this fight game are scared of me and these guys don't want to talk. This is a brutal sport, this is a man's sport. Tennis and golf are for gentleman. This is a sport that is at the bottom of the barrell and you need is a hand game and that's what I got. I got the coldest hand game in boxing and if my frame was big enough to carry 160, believe me, Bernard Hopkins would have been knocked off the block."

"Out of my 33 fights, I'll give you six duds. All the rest of them have been exciting."

GL: What do you think about Cotto's last fight?

FM: "I think he's a good little fighter but they better keep out of my way. Every time he gets hit he gets shook up. I'm known as quick puncher. And what's so crazy about the whole situation with the Cotto fight is this. How are you going to be in a title fight and the dude's from Puerto Rico, the ref is from Puerto Rico and you're fighting in Puerto Rico.

"They shouldn't have stopped the fight. When DeMarcus Corley fought me he went down many times. But as soon as he takes a knee they stopped the fight. There's no way you could tell me Cotto is disciplined when he's coming in as a middleweight. That's no discipline. I weigh in at 140 and I show up the day of the fight at 142. That's discipline."

"I just need to promote myself in the urban area's so a lot of my people could see me fight."

GL: You know my man Damon Dash is really feeling you right now.

FM: "That's my man. Rocawear clothing line is the best clothing line in the world. This man sent me so much Rocawear stuff it's ridiculous. I even got the RocBox, nobody in America got one but he sent me one."

GL: Well you know right now he's into boxing now so maybe he's being extra nice to the flamboyant one waiting for the day that you're a free agent.

FM: "June 11. June 11. Give me under thirty minutes and I'll be a free agent. It's going to be easy work. Quick and easy. Arturo Gatti is a bum. All he ever beat was mediocre fighters. He beat journeyman. He's never beaten a top fighter. He got in there with De La Hoya, got dismantled. Got in ther with Angel Manfredy, got dismantled. Ivan Robinson punished him twice. Micky Ward punished him and left his face all swollen."

"I got heart, and I'm not worried about nothing Gatti could do. I'm going to Atlantic City. We could have brought this fight to Vegas, but I'm going to Atlantic City on his turf and take over in the ring."

"But the main story is this, after I'm done with Gatti, Oscar De La Hoya needs to stop ducking me."

GL: Floyd, you mentioned fighting Oscar De La Hoya and Shane Mosley at welterweight. What about your friend, the undisputed welterweight champ Zab Judah?

FM: "Zab is my friend and like anybody would say in the fight game, he feels he's the best I feel I'm the best. But I done proven myself over and over again. And I want you to know that I called Kostya Tszyu out before he even had the chance to call me out. But with Gatti all I need to know is, will he fight or will they mail me the belt? You know I'm accustomed to collecting WBC belts, it's just what I do."

"If Gatti decides to fight he better do some sit-ups and make sure his stomach looks like mine because I know he can't take it to the body. I know he can't it to the body."

GL: Did you know Buddy McGirt said he has the formula for Gatti to beat you?

FM: "Buddy McGirt better realize this, the same way Pernell Whitaker did him is how I'm going to do Gatti, only it's going to be worse. I'm the Pernell Whitaker of the 21st century, plus I got power. I'm a doctor and I'm going to be a doctor on June 11. I'm going to open Gatti up and then another doctor is going to close him up!"

True stuff...

That's sad...but true..

Looks like he's trying to fight coast to coast, border to border, like Roy Jones Jr.

but there's no way his training skills could match my fighting skills, not in a million years.

Harsh words....Mayweather Sr. is a brilliant trainer regardless of what anyone says..

FM: "If Gatti doesn't want to fight I would love to fight Shane Mosley."

Sugar Shane would get done in Mayweather..

GL: I spoke with Vivian Harris earlier and he said you've been ducking an dodging him.

FM: "I'm going to tell you something and I'm going to be honest with you. I didn't even know who he was until I saw him on a Nas video and somebody told him he's a champion.

LMAO

The **** they say about Cotto is true. Henry was his sacrificial lamb.

[Konstantin]

Hes really ****y but its all true

[jack_the_rippuh]

Hes really ****y but its all true

I can't believe he called "Sugar" Shane..."****ty" Shane Mosley.

[masterdirector]

Go Floyd! Yeah I can't wait for him to beat that ****** Gatti. Damn I gotta thank DLT for bringing those interviews to my attention. I went and read them at BT but thanks. I haven't gone on there much at all since they charge for most of the ****. These boxers should be asking for a cut of that subscription money.

I hope Floyd is right that he's about to become a free agent. OMG get the **** away from Arum while you can Floyd, don't re-sign.

[Dr.Depravity]

All Floyd has to do now is back it all up. Somehow I think he just might.

Thanks and Jack also. I never have been on the computer that much until recently and I had to learn everything on my own so I didnt know how to cut, copy, and paste like the other clown said.

Also though, on my thread I said that I wish you guys would start a whole nother thread with a different topic name so people would know what they were going to look at. Thanks anyway though
