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.

funny how white folks always keep a pair of black friends just in case...soon as the racism issue is brought up they bring them up..lol no look im just playing i cant call you or your family racist cause i dont know ya but calling the mayweathers a thug familiy is something i find offensive. If you grow up in ******s sometimes you are met with obstacles that have to do with drugs and prison time. Because you might be privleged and dont have to deal with that, that does not give you the right to judge others. And please, people with power do the worst sh&t..they just have lawyers that can hide things better...but look im not interested in talkin about this with u..my opinion is that you might be a bit biased against floyd thats why you mention their thug family abusing women but fail to mention pacs infidelities..lets leave it at that.

hmmm still bitter over that beat down floyd gave shane? you just said floyd didn't fight an elite shane but yet you we're going on and on about how shane was gonna beat may. So get outta here with that weak argument. Pac fought Clottey who was comin off a loss and he got praised. And now he wants to fight Margarito who isn't **** without his plaster and i bet you he gets praised for that. so all that talk about floyd brought it on himself naw it's all about race. And can't nobody change my mind on that.

It's not all about race Tweezy my friend.It's about mouth.Floyd talks about himself being the best EVER hey he has a right to think but to say it and down play fighters from a way better era then this one is foolish and ****** IMO.It's also why he get's so much flack the most prime fighter he fought since JLC(and he was not really prime)was Hatton lol Hatton.This is why he talk's **** about were he place should be in history but when he had the chance to prove it he said he had nothing left to prove in the sport and retired.Think if he fought a prime Cotto a younger Mosley and Marga's at the peak of his Career he would be praise there will be no argument.Black people love to pull the race card because that means they don't have to take responsibility for what come's out their mouths or their actions.Floyd brings alot on him self because of what he claims to be without proof(something like what he did with pac)Ali talk alot and was not like but he fought monsters in their primes nuff said Ali greatest of all time May had his chance but did not take the chance and that's the difference not his skin COLOR.

My opinion my dude and I stand by it. If people can say Manny is P4P #1 then I can damn sure say Floyd is in or around the Top 5 All Time.

I clearly explained why I understand Mayweather'sthinking and not Pacquiao's. Team Mayweather has remained consistent while Team Pacquiao has contradicted themselves left and right.

How can there be proof if the guy refuses the testing that can possibly provide the proof? We all know that there are ways around the current drug testing system, so why keep parroting this "no proof no proof" nonsense?

Because you or nobody else was saying anything about Peds with Pac before May said something about it.Which means were is the proof?If I was Pac I would say Suck my D*#K Floyd.I heard this argument alot I feel both have valid reasoning but if I'm Pac I'm not bending to May because he wants to change the rules.He could have went to the comm.But he did not he feel's he is bigger then the sport so why should Mannybend to Mayweather?If may went talk to the comm and they said cool we are putting this in for this fight then Pac refused then I would say nah Pac what the hell.But for him to tell another fight no I don't see a problem with that.

In the aftermath of Floyd Mayweather's lopsided, 12-round decision over WBA welterweight king, Shane Mosley, HBO's Larry Merchant, among other things, told Mayweather, during the post-fight interview, that a lot of people, including himself, have criticized him for not always facing the best fighters. [Click Here To Read More]

Merchant didn't mention the fact that Mayweather offered to fight Mosley before he fought De La Hoya and Mosley turned it down. He didn't mention that Mayweather tried to secure a fight against Hatton at 140 and Hatton turned it down or that he tried to secure a fight against Cotto at 140 and Cotto turned it down. He also didn't mention that he (Merchant) was picking Hatton to beat Mayweather, even though Hatton was a "smaller" fighter. This is another example of a hater remembering only what he wants to remember.
