Comments Thread For: “Money” Mayweather Has Chance To Seize The Message

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Let’s say you’re Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Compared to the average clock-puncher, you’re doing pretty well. You’ve reached the pinnacle of a difficult profession. You have more money than three generations of grandkids will spend. And you’ll more than likely be retired before your life is half complete.

If given the option, it’s a set-up most folks would take in a second.

Somehow, though, it seems a little unfulfilling.

From a distance, that is.

In spite of myriad title belts and inclusion near the top of every respected pound-for-pound list, the mere mention of Mayweather’s name elicits venom from fans across every demographic and from executives on the highest rungs of the boxing ladder.

And it’s not just the brainless “He’s a punk” or “He sucks” babbling from message-board cretins.

In this case, even the suits in corner offices join the pile-up, going so far as to allege cowardice and comparable psychological weakness in the interest of protecting an unbeaten record. [Click Here To Read More]

He can beat Pac all day, any day. Arum knows it, Freddie knows, and so does Pac. Floyd knew all along, or rather Ellerbe and Haymon knew all along the backtracking that Team Pacquiao would perform when the random drug testing issue would be raised the minute they put it in the contract.

Let's not kid ourselves here.

It's funny how you refer to Manny as "Pacroid".

Had to be a Lyle article, people have been saying for couple years about 146 pounder to fight the best.I won't believe the Ssm fight rumor til buffer anounces their names on fight night.the only thing I agree with Lyle in this is his prediction for juanma this saturdy..

these guys need to fight each other and it should be a pretty good one but i don't think it will be that great or that exciting. it would be a big win for mayweather finally fighting a top 5 welter albeit one that is near the end of his career. remember that COTTO outboxed and beat mosley a couple of years ago so if floyd is anywhere near as good as he claims he should be able to outbox mosley as well. if floyd isn't phased by mosley's power i think he should UD him. if mosley wants to win he is going really have to come after floyd and try to get him to fight. MAYWEATHER HAS TO TAKE THIS FIGHT OR HIS REPUTATION IS COMPLETELY GONE.

floyd is very scared to fight pac or mosley. i'm not saying he can't beat either guy although i think pac would crush him but the fact is he is scared to fight them. floyd has not been in the ring with guys that have this type of power and ability to end fights in a very long time. he does not like to get hit and both of these guys will land their fair share on pretty boys face. i'm not convinced he will ever get in the ring with either of these guys.

Cotto didnt outbox this Mosley. He outboxed the ****ty trained Mosley. I dont think Cotto wouldve beat him wtih Richardson in Shane's corner

I agree, this fight does need to take place. They had stated Shane would be next if the fight with Pac fell through. So I'm hoping they follow through and get it done.

fitzsimmons must love the taste of floyds ball sweat. anyway's mosley , mayweather wont be nearly as good as a fight as pac clottey, because lets be honest, it will be a boring technical fight, i could be wrong but that it the most likely outcome, especially if floyd wins. also manny is and should be ranked atleast #2 if not #1 at WW, and clottey should be #3-5 . Floyd really shouldn't be a ranked WW since he hasn't fought a real one in a long time. and Mosley should be 1 or 2, though the only reason he gets that is because of his ko over margarito, which had enough controversy (plaster of paris) not to mention i personally thought margs looked like **** before the bell even rang.not to discredit shane but i think he has been getting his tires pumped a little too hard for that win. and people will say manny fought a weight drained cotto, but cotto looked really good before manny started beating up on him, and miguel himself never once complained about the weight after the fight. That same cotto outboxed mosley. I think its close in terms of which fight would be the 2 better WW's but there is no question which fight will be more entertaining. and people lets not get ahead of ourselves here i wont believe the fight is happening until it's signed. For boxing's sake, lets hope it does.
