After Seeing Mayweather..

[Manny_P]

Anybody else find the parallels just a little funny? On one side you have Floyd going on about having an undefeated record and uses it to show his superiority over fighters who have losses. Then on the other side you have Michael Strahan and Joe Buck going on about the undefeated Patriots losing to the Giants who started off terribly.

Good point there. I didn't see that. Now I'm truly sure Strahan thinks and WANTS Manny to beat Floyd Mayweather (don't care if he's a brother lol). Undefeated means SQUAT. If you face the one who wants it more than you, it's a wrap. And that's the same as Giants vs Patriots 2008. If there was one team to give New England a lost, it was the red hot Giants that time. And the rest is history....

Manny is the Giants, Floyd is the Pats. Go MANNY!

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. A loss doesn't make you a loser in the long run. I think since Mayweather had the Gold stolen from him at the Olympics ... winning at all costs is his number one priority.

Maybe he would have taken more chances if that never happenned to him.

Great point.
I think the NFL community has tons of class and they actually try to get positive messages out there. I guess that message is "You Gotta Be Hungry!"

You're right man. I mean the NFL gets national coverage all over the country. It would look bad for their part if one of their players talked the way Floyd talks. And that's a a good image to spread. Be competitive, but not extremely arrogant/****y. I guess that's why my fav athletes are Pac, Eli Manning, Jeter, Lee amongst others. Just classy.

This interview kinda shows that Football players have a lot of class and set the example for a lot of other athletes. I guess it's the team mentality and it carries over off the field too.

Mayweather did better though in this interview compared to some of his other interviews.

He is a great fighter but not the best talker. I guess not everyone can talk trash with some humor the way Ali did back in the day. OR even Appollo Creed style.

"You fight great but I'm a great fighter."

People hated Ali back then and just in recent memories people tend to forget all wrong things he did and all of his close fights ... etc

He was more epic for standing against the Vietnam war
