Mayweather: "You pray on my downfall!"

[Bhopreign]

That's what his crazed fans interpret. The majority of people want him in competitive fights. Floyd Mayweather actually has fans that are fans of the sport hoping he fights the top guys, and are not consumed with his bank acct or business ventures to use as an anchor for excuses.

Ive never heard a fan of Floyd say they dont want to see him fight the Mosleys, Cottos and Pacs of the world.

If that interview doesn’t awaken a beast in Floyd I don’t know what will. Floyd was not only put on the spot but defensive throughout. I can’t see what else he could do unless he silences the critics and fights a notable yet dangerous opponent. Until then all we can say is TO BE CONTINUED.

Peace.

What does he mean by that?..

RA asked him to fight Mosley, Cotto, Williams, or any other top 5 guy in his weightclass..

and Mayweather started yelling.."you're just praying on my downfall!!"..Was that a confession?..

if he feels he's the best and really believes in himself..how would that be his downfall?..

As a fan..of course we wanna see you fight the best..to prove that ****..if he wins them all than there's nothing wrong with being the best..but he won't fight them!..

and when asked..he says that we pray on his downfall..we pray on seeing quality fights with top 5 contenders!..

So what did Mayweather mean by that ****?..

He said that one time. And here's what he meant:

There's an equally valid case for Mayweather not fighting everyone he has fought, had he not fought them, and because you can only have so many fights it's pure hate someone bash Floyd for his record. The truth is, these types of guys "rapper" RA think that Floyd is overrated... But the question then becomes, by WHO? The few real fans he has? We are a minority... Everyone else just want to see Floyd lose. Floyd knows this and uses this fact to milk the mother****ers. The older the worst. Don't worry though, Floyd will eventually lose but not before he kicks some more ass.

My Downfall is a Notorious BIG track, the lyrics "To pray and pray for my downfall" is what Floyd might have been referring to. It's slightly ironic because RA the Rugged Man did a collaboration track with Biggie at one point.

LOL you kidding me? There's been 2 or 3 threads alone from Horus talking about everything from steroids to Mosley being desperate as reasons why Floyd shouldn't fight Mosley with the usual suspects chiming in.

Again, The crazed fans don't want to see it, but Boxing fans do (which is more of the majority).

I cant believe Floydstans still miss the point completely. It aint about prayin for anyone's downfall. It's about taking on the toughest challenges out there possible which he simply hasnt done in almost a decade now.

The majority of the public also prayed for Ali's downfall. But because he took on the toughest challenges available noone can take that away from him. George Foreman beat the crap out Frazier and Norton, 2 guys that gave Ali hell and he fought him anyway. He didnt make a publicity stunt fight with the lightheavyweight champ comin up 17 pounds to make him look any better than he actually is. He didnt make any excuses about him bein a small heavyweight and Foreman is a big heavyweight. He said he was gon knock him out and he did it. He never promised knockouts and then run and potshot for 12 without ever goin for the finish like Floyd.

Floyd will gain respect if he fights real welterweights no matter what the outcome is.

He said he doesnt DESERVE the fight because he cheated with steroids, I agree. He doesnt DESERVE the fight. Especially since Floyd has on occasion tried to make that fight in the past.

[Doctor_Tenma]

It's the truth, people want to see him lose.

[Chunk..]

The truth. He needs to stop whinging about not getting the full respect he deserves because quite frankly, he doesn't deserve it. He needs to fight Mosley or Cotto/Pacquiao next. End of story.
