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

[Bogig]

Floyd puts the world of boxing through so much of his circus, it's ridiculous!

He is not a fighter because he's never had the mentality of just going out there a putting it all on the line. His precious "0" is getting in the way.

That's why it's good to lose at least once in your career (all the ATG's have lost ), because that'll make a fighter soul search , dig deep, and bounce back to greater challenges without having to be fearful of losing it for the first time.

Floyd is an incredibly skilled boxer, no doubt, but his love of "0" is getting in the way of just going out there and having a warrior's heart and mentality, which is what ATG's are known for.

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."

KFC dont have plans to fight SSM. KFC got pushed into it becaus of his failed fight for Pacquiao.

Remember even Floyd himself belittled and degraded Mosley with his own comment "Mosley, the one with 5 losses !!?", and now he expects the world to give him props for fighting a guy he himself downgraded?!

I've stopped listening to his Pacquiao nuthugger a long time ago. I only use him for his breaking news, anything outside of that is null.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Hes right. Mayweather is finally doing what hes supposed to be doing.

AT WW Floyd fights Linear champ, Carlos baldomir, then fights Zab Judah. He goes up to 154 fights De La Hoya, fights Hatton, retires and takes a tuneup fight against JMM, and someone how the myth is made that he doesn't fight WW? The hate is astounding.

What point are you trying to make?

Its pretty obvious that he fought him because Mosley was the next highest payday to Pacquai

What WW should he have fought fat boy?

****** question ur as dumb as u can get..

[Thornton Melon]

I am not a Dan hater or lover but why get mad at him for telling the truth?

I cant hate Floyd for fighting De La Hoya and Hatton but he doesnt have a Cotto, Margarito, or Mosley yet. And if he beats Mosley and Pacquiao then he will get all the credit in the world.

To me his best and most impressive win was against Chico, and how long ago was that? Looking at Pacquiao's run it has been impressive how he has wiped all these guys out.

I am realist, lets see how this next year plays and a lot of questions will be answered.

The thing that I don't understand is that detractors always say, "If he even steps in the ring with X fighter (Mosley in this case) then I will give him credit!"

Then he does that, soon thereafter they come with the, "why should I give him credit? this is what he is supposed to be doing" argument.

Then after the fight, they knock the fighter who they promised that he would never fight.

This is all typical, no use in getting worked up. This is how it is when it comes to Mayweather Jr.
