Brian Kenny: On Mayweather ducking Hatton/ Baldomir back then.

[eklok]

Kenny wasnt wrong to question Floyd at the time. Floyd wasnt doing what he was supposed to so Kenny grilled him. Why do people not get this and try to revise history?

its the *****s , what were u expecting?

Mayweather never has a valid reason apart from money, The guy cant construct a live conversation without mentioning money. The thing i hate about this interview is Brian Kinney was pushing Hatton and loving hatton at the time even though Hatton himself said he wasnt ready for a Mayweather fight yet.

He tried to make Hatton look like King kong...all i hear is how retentless hatton is, How he fight for every second of every round..How he would cut off the ring, How he has better footwork than Mayweather.. blah blah blah

But i do understand why Kinney wanted Mayweather to fight Baldomir though, After beating Judah and Gatti people got on the bandwagon about how big Baldomir was etc

People alway let hate cloud their judgement sometimes which is sad..

Stellar post, Ray. And as you stated before, it's a continuing cycle.

it's not even close to the same thing as zab-mayweather. morales and pac already had a fight of the year candidate the first time around. fans wanted to see it again unlike mayweather fights. morales moved up to 135 to fight raheem where as pac vs morales was at 130. and the third fight is to settle the trilogy.

Yeah, because before the fight they say Mayweather is "ducking" fighter A, B, and C... then continue to bash him by implying he scared... then Mayweather fights them, beats them soundly, and finally, nobody wants to see a second time around. They make excuses and then fail to go back and look at how ignorant they sound saying he was scared in the first place. Deal with it.

baldomir and hatton aare the 2 opponents floyd seems to get the most flak for yet you can see that both of those fighters were people that fans, haters and commentators wanted to see fight floyd or floyd to fight

no one on the entire planet thought baldomir could beat floyd. baldomir is just the welterweight reggie strickland.

Bull****! Larry Merchant thought Baldomir was too big and too strong for Mayweather. He said it before the fight and during the fight up until about the 8th round when he saw how bad Floyd was schooling Baldomir. Then, Merchant started complaining about how boring the fight was because it was so one-sided..

I guess back then all of the people here at the NSB are saying that floyd is ducking Baldo and Hatton

Yes, they were and, just like Brian Kenny, they were either irgnorant of the facts or simply chose to ignore them. In Brian Kenny's case, he chose to ignore them. At the time of this interview, Mayweather had offered a fight to Hatton on three separate occasions. The first time was right after Mayweather beat Castillo for the second time at 135. It would have been Mayweather's first fight at 140. Hatton's promoter at the time, Frank Warren, refused to even consider the fight. Hatton's team turned it down two more times before Hatton developed enough balls to call Mayweather out after Mayweather had beating De La Hoya. Brian Kenny knew this because his house chump, Dan Rafael, who got all of his "scoops" off the internet and reported them as his own facts, had mentioned it previously.

Mayweather tried to secure a fight with Baldomir after Baldomir beat Judah. Baldomir wanted too much money, so Mayweather fought Judah instead. After beating Judah, he then fought Baldomir. Neither Brian Kenny nor any of the critics on this site gave him any credit for beating Baldomir or Hatton after claiming that Floyd was scared of fighting them. In other words, they did the exact same thing then that they do now.

[Larry the boss]

floyd will never get credit for anyone he beats

Another revision of history.

Unlike you, I actually watched the Mayweather/Baldomir fight. I know what Merchant said. I also watched the fight before this one -- Mayweather/Judah -- in which Merchant hostilely accused Mayweather of ducking Baldomir and made the comments that Baldomir was too big and too strong for him.

Only idiots like you who don't know the facts choose to ignore them because they don't suit your asinine, infantile opinions have to revise history.
