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

[Sweet Jesus]

Dan Rafael needs Mayweather. Look at his articles about Mayweather... 5000 comments, 5000 comments, 1000 comments. All his other articles... 10 comments.

Cotto - Was considered still too green when everyone was trying to hype the fight up

Bingo. There was way more money for him in the Hatton fight.

Margarito- He would have taken that fight had Arum guaranteed him 10 million, in the theoretical Cotto fight. Arum offers Floyd 8 million to stay and fight Margarito, and 7 million for a Cotto fight...

This is what I was trying to explain earlier. People either chose to forget this or didn't follow Mayweather back then. It was a ****ty deal.

I'll concede that Williams is a tough challenge for any Welterweight. I could understand ducking him.

Yes, Mayweather should not get **** on any more than the rest of the welterweight division for not fighting Williams.

[mangler jr]

no need to complain..so far floyd living up to what he said when he returned..he returned for his legacy and is trying to fight the best...jmm-(may have moved up)but is was a tune up against the #2 p4p fighter in the world..then he negotiated against the p4p#1 fight(hopefully this fight will happen this fall or winter)now he's fighting the #3 p4p fighter in the world..no one should be complaining..

hey i agree, this fight helps his legacy, but i dont think he cares baout his legacy, he only cares about the $. and he knows he had to take a big fight after pac decided to take on clottey, if he didnt he owuld have looked like a huge coward. floyd should have been fighting top WW's a couple years back he had no business retiring without giving cotto a chance back then, especially since miguel was undefeated than too. pac has fought cotto, who beat mosley and is now fighting clottey who at the very least would give shane a very difficult fight. floyd would look pathetic if he wasn't fighting shane.

Nobody wants to reward him for anything... he should have fought Pacquiao... it ain't happened... Mosley is the next big thing... it should be that way no question about that...

You don't need to praise him... but why should you critisice him for that is as well beyond me...

The ones who are celebrating are the guys who said he would fight Mosley and got heat for that... because he was supposed to be scared and stuff...

Mosley aleady beat Margarito in January 2009...

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.

if i've said it once, i've said it a million times, i can't stand dan rafael. the guy is a ****head and acts like his word is gold. he's also biased in favor of certain figters. he's always got something derogatory to say about a black fighter, and that is the truth. of course mayweather shouldnt get EXTRA praise, but the guy neve gets ANY praise from the media. hes fighting the number 3 p4p and the second rated welterweight in the world (i believe). so nobody has any right to hate on him anymore. when people start saying" O well it took him long enough to sign" thats haters sadly trying to grab straws. dan rafael needs to shut the **** up and go do what he does best, eat some ****in sandwices.

Everything highlighted can be said about Pacquiao and his fans are usually the ones who agree with these kinds of articles.

All that being said. mosley is still a top 3 welterweight if not THE top welterweight in the world. i dot care about styles, margarito was the man when mosley destroyed him. why cant yo give the guy any props? i mean c'mon man. what would of made you happy? thats my question. the falling out with the pacquiao fight was BOTH of their faults. and dont say the olympic tsting was a way for mayweather to get out of the fight because he requested the same thing for mosley, and mosley accepted. what did mayweather do? he signed the contract, so that argument is useless..
