Comments Thread For: Larry Merchant on Floyd Mayweather, History and Legacy

[amayseng]

Lol, believe it or not I had Corrales over PBF and Floyd would not have beaten Leonard or Hearns but as far as his career goes gotta give it up dudes 41-0 aint no fly by night record against a bunch of stiffs. People act like Floyd is a natural Welter-wt when dude started out @130.

i think he has grown into his frame, he is now 33, of course he started lower as did many great boxers.

i think 147 is good for him and he is such talented and skilled he could fight at 154 with ease,

There's 2 choices here:
Be ignorant as hell like you or be the bigger man and not get caught up in some BS virtual conversation with the Internet Lone Ranger. I chose the first. I'm a former fighter so I can get very aggressive but that would be some ole punk sh-t that I'm not on so I prefer to take the high road. Humbleness is Godliness my dude and I don't play games so you got the wrong one. Ignore me and I'll ignore you and life goes on. :-)

Very Sugary of you Sugar.

[thatnickuh]

and for the 30000000th time i agreed with floyds cutoff

Yet you still put some unwarranted blame on him for the fight not being made all while making excuses for Pacquiao? "His ego is something that we can't understand" Please man.

[Sugar Q]

It's not "their" thinking that I don't understand, it's Pacquiao's thinking that I don't understand. I understand where Mayweather is coming from, he's been consistent. The drug testing demands were in the contract on his behalf from the very beginning. It's Pacquiao and his team that have been all over the place. You seem to be making excuses from him and his inconsistency when you say that you understand his side while putting the blame on both sides. Pacquiao and his ego/insecurity isn't a reasonable excuse in my opinion. If he is refusing to comply with Mayweather's requests simply because of ego or because somebody's accusations hurt his "pride", then he needs to be held accountable for that by the true fans of the sport.

That's real talk dude. I totally agree. Very well put.

dude posted 4 videos from 2005-2010 of shane calling floyd out

secondly, people hate floyd because he is a classless douchebag

my dad and uncle, huge fans of boxing from the 60,70,80,90's wont watch floyd because they feel he is a disgrace to the sport, a total classless thug with a thug family.


dude this argument has gone on for 6 months, where have you been[/QUOTE

cool the facts are out there...they fought anyway..something pac was scared to do..and ok floyd is classless and a douchebag..what are you a boxing fan or a personality judge? Let facts be facts and judge him inside the ring. And what is a thug familiy..sounds like you guys might be racist or atleast feel like ya better then other families..dont judge no one especially if you are not involved their family affairs...

hahaha

have you ever been around pro athletes?

i had the honor of playing baseball and being around these elites, they are a different breed.

thats all

i think he should have taken the tests because if innocent then why not?

but i am saying i understand how these guys have egos that get in the way

i dont condone or agree with it, but i understand it


i just want the fight to happen

and if it does i would be picking floyd to knock pac out.

Yo I said this so many times if he called Mosley out or wanted to fight him so bad why was he not in the WW DIV?The excuse will be May was too small LMAO so how was he calling him out?Khan is calling May out LMOA right so should I say May is ducking him?When there is a guy who is a bigger star then you call him out and you will get some of his popularity simple.

i dont do race **** my friend

my families closest family friends are black, always have been, raised in cleveland, your not throwing that **** at me.

white or black, if you family has a history of drugs, beating women and prison then that is a thug family.

No doubt Manny brings a lot of excitement to boxing but now all he has to do is submit to testing for the good of boxing and we will get the biggest boxing match in the history of the sport.

This is true and was not posted with hate or bias towards Pac you coming around Sugar lol.

[FLY TY]

People shouldnt make PBF favourite against Pac. Because to do so would make PBF think why should i fight him? Im favoured to beat him, and that is enough for me.
Worst case scenario is he would lose if he did fight him. And its just might not be worth the risk, even for the money. The fact that he is favoured to beat Pac, may just be PBFs biggest ever achievement in the sport of boxing.

what???
