Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather: "I Just Know That Nobody Can Beat Me"

[HaglerSteelChin]

The whole thread makes me laugh. PBF is far from a perfect person but he just talks alot to sell fights, that is part of the marketing strategy. I didnt like when he called gatti a paper champ but it was part of selling the PPV fight. He does some good charity work and always thanks god for his wins. Pacman has had open infidelity and has cheated on Jinkee numerous times; he is not perfect either. So please spare us that he helps the poor; as PBF does the same.

I will say if PBF loses the fight he will give respect to Pac. If he loses than he will have alot of answeri ng to do. Since he said pac has been KOD before and he will do the same to him.

great faith, will, determination... on top of talent (speed, power) and a great trainer.... I mean.. that can beat any man or has a great chance of doing it

Both fighters posess those things. But I think Floyd has more skill to go with that, IMO. But we shall see on March 13th.

I'd bet my house that Floyd couldn't walk through

Pacquiao at 140
Mosley at 147
Paul Williams at 154
Sergio Martinez at 154

and remain undefeated.

you must want to live on the street---the floyd from 2005 who fought gatti would crush pac at 140---floyd already called out mosley who turned himdown in 2006 and 2005 and 1999....paul williams doesn't fight his size and would be too slow for floyd and too easy to hit to the body---sergio would taste leather all night---he is slick but not flod slick--floyd is the more elusive figter with much better defense than all of thee guys---pac'll find out 1st--then shane--then paul williams will find out-or sergio if they make names for themselves---

[pbftxrs316]

Yet he has been the top PPv draw since 2005? Wow I guess he is "failing miserably" at attracting fans!

Anyone who has "money" period is a target for some form of hate. The "hate" you speak of comes from people on the internet. But its funny because all of the trolls who roam these boards still continue to pay and or watch to see him perform. His attitude is what makes him an attraction.

speak on it my dude---let these idiots know---

Lets get real, for 1 if you think Cotto had a chance with Floyd your a damn fool, easy 12 rd dec.... Floyd fought those guys for reasons: belts and money. And if being better means that much why didnt Manny fight Mosely who came offa dominating fight with Margo instead of Cotto who got a gift win with Clottley??? And Mosely was calling him out!!!(cotto beat shane, margo killed cotto, shane killed margo, making shane number1 WW, WHY NOT FIGHT MOSELY???)

And to top that off, instead of waiting for winner of Mosely vs Berto or even paul williams, he was willing to move up to 154lbs to fight Yuri Foreman for a 8 title...Now isnt that strange He ReFUSED to fight De La Hoya @154 (de la hoya Comfortable weight), demanded cotto to come in @145 and but is willing to move up to 154 to fight a guy who is suited for his style, even roach said and i quote "i think we're gonna move up to 154lb to fight Yuri Foreman for the 8th title, cuz thats a easy fight win can win"

of course cotto never had a chance against floyd, cherry boy ducked him

speaking of being a damn fool, how ****** does a person have to be to say "X doesn't have a chance against Y" when Y ****s himself any time a guy on X's level calls him out?

you're a fan of the p4p biggest cherry picker of all time, a guy that self proclaims to be the best of all time, but doesn't have enough balls to defend his titles against any credible opponent for several years. a guy that opts for retirement when another young, unbeaten champ of his ow weight class can fight him. a guy that chose to fight an elite 130 fighter at 144, but didn't even have enough respect for the sport to make the accorded weight. disgusting

EDIT: do you know the definition of quoting? get me a link and a direct reference that says exactly what you posted. if you can't, then just do yourself a favor and be quiet

Donald Duck Mayweather is in for a big shock Just keep the fight out of Vegas so Paquaio gets a fair chance

Donald Mayweather is in for a big surprize

He does not have to carry Rocky Marciano's jock strap, but he does have to carry pacman's! So now we are to make comparisons between a 200lb heavyweight and a welterweight and somehow this will help us define Floyd's career? You have got to be kidding me! But then again, you are not kidding me, we all know what this conversation will turn into, when you induce the Marciano/Floyd comparison. It's unfortunate, because instead of judging these fighters on their skill level, we have to make wild ass leaping comparisons to take away from both guys. Why don't we just say pacman could never carry Archie Moore's jock strap! Why stop there, Pacman could not carry Ray Robinson's jock strap! Or hey Floyd could not carry Max Schmelling jock strap! And none of this has any bearing on who gets their hand raised on March 13th.

Yer suppose to read between the lines !!! LOL

My goodness man,,,, I was comparing two undefeated fighters. I was saying that the greatest get beat and its Mayweathers turn !!!!!!!! Marciano didn't get beat , ever in the pro's , like NEVER and guess what he retired UNDEFEATED,,,,49 and O,, 43 KO's Great record ,, tremendous record,,,,, TOOK ON ALL COMERS,,,,,, Mayweather ?????????????????????????????? LOL

Mayweather has proven he will not take on ALL COMERS,,, got $ signs.. before his eyes.

Boxing is changing rapidly. It used to be , I can whup any man in the house ,,, now it brat time,,, how much will you pay me. Changing rapidly..

Then you got a tremendous influx of young people , nothing wrong with that but the rap music attitude with the tough walk, look and act , wanting millions of dollars is ruining good old boxing.

Money is good, but when fighters are proclaimed the best by how much money they made is the standard by which we judge who is who in boxing then we just about hit the bottom from old paths.

Here me well and anyone else that reads this:

Money don't make a great fight, fighters do... What ruined matchin dogs was the money and drugs,,,, in came the felony laws and shut it down.

Enormous purses for fights does not prove TO ME the fighters are great.

I believe with out a doubt this fight between Pac and May won't be worth a hoot unless Pac can somehow draw chickenToGetHitweather into a fight,,,,, the Pac Cotto fight will be much greater..

Mayweather is the BEST defensive fighter but also the BEST BORING FIGHTER in the WORLD,,,, HANDS DOWN.

If Pac gets whipped it wont' be his mind that gets whipped it won't be his heart but it will be because of his ten pounds heavier weight that will get him.

I Just wonder if Mayweather will ever fight some one his size in the coming year ????????????????????

Pac to KO or make him QUIT like his uncle Roger did.

Hey MANG how is it going? New account... you start early... do you now changed from dog expert to an horse expert??? *loooooooooooool*

Of course I can say... first off why he ducked him? Because he got an offer to fight him? He gets a lot of offers... what does that say? Yeah, the so called ''facts'' are from Arum... if you want to have an real perspective of an situation... would you ask Frazier how he feels about Ali and expect an neutral standpoint?

Is Merchant now an promoter? Is Merchant part of the negotiating process? I mean of course Merchant knows all... no question about that... was he also there as Mayweather wanted him at 140? Was Merchant there also dude? What did Merchant say about that?

First off all... if you are a boxing expert then you should know that the P4P list was invented for the best boxer despite of weight class right? So, Marquez was the second best fighter in the world skill wise...

Second off all... it was a comeback fight... who ever fought a great task in his comeback fight? Who? The only one I can remember was Leonard in his second come back... in his first he ain't... Ali ain't went straight to Frazier or? etc. I could tell you a lot of examples... the Marquez fight ain't means **** to Floyd... I know it is one of the greatest wins for Pacquiao... but for May it means ****... it's add up his legacy... it was only a warm up for Pacquiao... who is the best right now... so where is the problem... ain't you think it is ok to take a tune-up after a 2 year layoff MANG? Now, he is fighting the best or???

Yeah... the same way Mosley was scared to fight him before twice??? It's not MAyweather's fault that Mosley never made it big time and that he now has a divorce and has no money left... if Shane would have done anything to let anyone believe that he is the best out there... ain't you think that the public would call for it... like they do now against Pacquiao? Shane is desperate... Mayweather wanted to shake his hand as a sign of respect and Mosley tried to get it on... it wasn't his place or time... if you think this is how role models behave alright... but only because Mosley now wants a match... does Mayweather has to jump and say oh Mosley NOW wants me... *looooooooooooooooool* Probably you heard the saying... the ho does what the pimps want and not the pimp does what the ho does... Mosley back in 99 was the pimp... now he is just the ho... who wants to cash in before retiring...

Yeah, he has it both... money and legacy... isn't it great... you can have both if you are smart enough.

Why should he want to carry Marciano's jock strap so to say? MANG you gotta come down on these drugs dude... you fantasy things really become insane... would you other account it was funny... but now Marciano... come on dude... you can do better

LOL !!!!!! I like Hawks ,,, I love bulldogs,,, I knew the man in the pit,, dead now, RIP , came to know Christ !! I knew the Dog !!!!!!!!!!!!! Not from reading but been to his house many times back in the late 60's !!! You learn a ton from these old dog men,, you learn tons about the nature of a FIGHTER !!!!! I don't know it all, just a fraction, but I know enough.

The same talk here reminds me of the old days with dogs years ago before the felony laws. I wouldn't have a bulldog today , people are crazy they would turn you in , and you would end up like Vick,,, in Jail with the key thrown away.

I am just taking my stand from the premise of Gameness over skill.

All that stuff you wrote to me has been hashed by so many on this forum its getting sickening to read it or say it.

So from now on I want to present some thoughts in a different vein.

Man or beast, must have staying power to be at the end of the fight !!! Make sense ?

One can possess skill but may not possess Gameness.

One may be Game,,,but maynot possess skill.

The latter will lose because a lot of skilled fighters are so much superior that just plain ole game fighters.

Case in Point,,,,, last nite the boy Espino was game,,,, the point about him was the only ,,,, the ONLY reason he was there in that fight was because he was GAME !!!!! He had better pop as you guys say it,,, cool mang,,,,, than that he appeared to have and his body looked soft but took the shots well until the nose breaker upper cuts came from Kelly.

The Hardest thing to get in Dog or Man is what the OLD dogmen called an ACE !!!

Putting in human terms an ACE would be A KO Artist with either Hand,,,,,not a beat down but killer KO's with either Hand....... second he is one that has ability to fight with great skill taking a great punch as well,,,,, third one that is GAME,,,, NO retreat !!!

Ok a Dog that is an ACE is one that has the KILLER BITE TO BREAK bulldog bones !!!!!!!! Not later but NOW !!!! One that has tremendous ability to get on another Dog and have tremendous skills in the various holds showing how smart he is,,,,, third as Dead game as one can be without PROVING IT !!!,,,,,,,

Take a man,,,,, I harp on Roger Mayweather,,,, he could whup me all over town , and I am twice as big as he is,,,but put him in with the elite of his day, he held his own till he met Lockridge and especially Chavez !!! Deep in the fight something happened,,,, the fight was tough,,, the fighter Chavez was getting more intense while May faded and when he faded abit , so did his skills,,,,, then he broke down and Quit,,,, he was skilled ,, had a tremendous right hand to KO most, but he was not game, had no heart, at the elite level.

Gameness will cause the fighter to get more intense NOT give up and run to survive until you can run no more,,,, NOT because you aren't physically able but because you don't have the heart to keep on keeping on in the fight, so you QUIT !!!!!!! Roger was in good shape , he was doing the Ali shuffle just a round before he QUIT, Gameness PUSHES YOU , WITH CONFIDENCE, no matter if you are getting a beating and that fact will cause many to QUIT right there..

Dogs are men are not the same but have similar qualitys in the fight game..... some say this is a points sport etc,,,, someone the other day said that. Its more man,,, much more.

Ali was great because his skills were great but something greater than his skill was his gameness or heart. His mouth fooled a lot of people into thinking he was all bluff, But he fought with his heart and won. With out his great heart he would have been done it long ago.

Pac has proven he can take it and give it. He is close to an ACE. Mayweather shows many cur signs to me,,,,,,, we will have to check it out on the big screen, smiles.

good nite mang !!!!!! Oh by the way the dog won 4,,,,killed everyone !!! with in like ten mins,,,,, he was an ACE,,,,,, his name was PIT GENERAL.

Floyd is a cherry picking chump!

So, Pacquiao should EASILY beat that kind of fighter.

If Pacquiao were to lose to a cherry-picking chump...
