    To Mike Tyson ,Mayweather does no good and that's because Mayweather called himself the best fighter ever and highlighted Ali's weaknesses .

    Benard,Mosley & Toney are just jealousy of Mayweather's success.Toney calls himself a natural and the best fighter.He cant wait to see Mayweather losing and he hates comparisons about his defence.Toney's finances have never been better than Floyd's either and he will do anything for a payday including MMA.

    Mosley and Hopkins it's easy to see where the beef comes from.Mosley has mentioned the money thing with statements like 'Every fight of Mayweather I make a couple of millions'.Of course that's not true,he dont make no millions.

    Hopkins mentions the watches and the houses.While it is good for Mayweather to look after himself this is downright jealous.Everyone knows Hokpins had agreed to face Calzaghe for $3m long back.By then Floyd was making more already and yet he was a lightweight.

    Interesting how people talk so much about Floyd being broke,I hope they include Holyfield,Tyson,Hearns just to mention a few

    Read what Hopkins said mate, Nothing to do with jealousy or Hating...Nothing to do with money or anything else, Pure intellectual, Pure gold. You can be a fan of a boxer and know when to critise him, Am a big Mayweather fan in the ring but everything Hopkins said is 99% if not 100% true.

    Not only Mayweather could learn from that interview but everyone of us.

      I dont agree with Hopkins except the statement 'who will be having more money 20yrs from now when you cant jump into the ring'.That statement is a great statement and everyone not just boxers need to check how they handle their finances.

      Everything else Hopkins is looking at one way of doing things.I have already addressed those issues in my previous posts on this thread.

        You actually know that these people are jealous of mayweather?

          I'm sure by now you know your words are weightless and so will be treated with the little respect they have.

            Bernard is showing off his brains. He's a bright guy. A shame fighters like him are few and far between.

            I dislike him getting in the ring again though. That's unwise.

              There is a lot to be learned from what he says. I'm impressed, actually. Although I think it's slightly flawed....***I think Jay-Z did do a 'Cribs' show once***. However, I get the gist of what he's trying to say and he's absolutely right. He makes his points without sounding unecessarily redundant.

                    Wow !! If Floyd would trash talk to Bhop like he did against Shane, Bhop would have killed him with his knowledge right there. The humiliation would be everlasting.

                      from what i`ve heard mayweather has/had a troubled family/upbringing so perhaps him flashing his wealth could be well-rooted from his life experiences. could he be financially deprived before? maybe, or maybe not. could his rise to stardom made his head grew? maybe, or maybe not. could this all be just for show to keep himself very much marketable? maybe, maybe not. those are the lines that matter so we can have a better grasp on how to judge mayweather. Anyhow, its never late to learn a thing or two from just what as bhop said.
