Dan Rafael: "Not impressed with Floyd, it took him long enough to fight a legit..."

[Amazinger]

i agree, so that Floyd will not have some DOUBT about his ability. After WITNESSING HOW "the FIGTHER OF THE DECADE" DESTROYED by ONE PUNCH KNOCK OUT POWER and COMBOS WITH SPEED FROM EVERY ANGLE AND A POWER BEHIND IT???? anybody would WANT INSURANCE before they get the GUT to go up in the RING. ONLY PURE GREATNESS and WARRIORS who has the GUTS to GO UP HEAD TO HEAD with the PACMAN in the RING. NONE OF THOSE EXCUSES BULL**** and HYPOCRISY by FLOYD MAYWEATHER and his HYPOCRITE FANS
----------------------------
"HISTORY WILL ALWAYS BE THE JUDGE," lets not forget that xD
"The ERA of EXCITING ENTERTAINING PURE ACTION PAC FROM ROUND1 to ROUND12"

Where did you get those shoes?. Did you line up for days to get them,want to sell em....

From Dan Rafael's Blog (ESPN)...



"With regards to Floyd Mayweather Jr. finally signing a contract to fight Shane Mosley: Don't expect me to gush about it. I'll simply say it's about time he fought a legitimate top-level 147-pounder. After being a welterweight since 2005, it sure took him long enough. He's only doing what he should have been doing years ago."

and what this fat piece of **** said when he fought DLH, a middleweight and Floyd was a welter?

after this fight, I already can see what he says.

"Floyd fought a out of prime, ring rust Mosley.." foking bs..

[Kalion]

Criticize him because he shoulda been fighting these guys before now, thats not his style though he likes to fight them after they have been beaten up, lost fights to others, or have gotten old.
That fight proved that Margarito was tailer made for Shane not that Shane is any better than he was when he lost in 07, Roach said it accurately, Shane does well with guys that come straight to him.

Giving him subliminal credit because he has in the past been reluctant does not do it for me. Mayweather will never get credit for me as he has left it too late and the fights that woulda meant something mean little because they are either old, shot or have beaten and had their confidence destroyed.
Call me a hater, and what? its the truth.

Says the Pac fan...

Barrerra 2x
Morales 3x
DLH
Hatton
Cotto

and now clottey

The bolded can be applied to all of the above, take his credit for those wins and tell me what is his legacy then?

[boxaholic]

I agree, its almost as though people want to reward him for what he should of been doing along. The only thing that makes the Shane/Mayweather fight a biggy is because of Mayweather reluctance to fight top 147lbs, not that its a great match up. Mosley already lost to Cotto in 07

Losing a close decision to Cotto pre Margarito in Madison Square Garden shows How great Cotto was and Imo adds to Mosleys greatness. Dan Rafael is a good boxing writer that is wrong when it comes to Floyd.

DOUBLEMM SAID "Hey Dan, He's fighting the guy who Pacquiao didn't want to fight.....Dan is a certified Mayweather hater. Fat boy is getting pretty pathetic"

================================================== ====

hey doublemm>>>
look like you're not a boxing fan because you dont have a clue about pacquiao/mosley situation...about mid 2009, both roach and manny agreed to fight mosley...mosley can testify to that, which he did in an interview...so before posting misinformation, get your facts straight.

i have links to show you that proves pacquiao was willing to fight mosley and mosley even admitted that pacquiao wanted to fight him...but i cant post links becuase im still new here and i need atleast 15 post before being able to include any link

[guru]

i laff at the thought that pac is afraid to fight anyone, especially mosely. didnt he fight and KO the guy that beat mosley recently????
