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

[Sugar Q]

Sugar I'm trying to open you guy's eyes that there is two sides of every story.Sugar you have seen me arguing with Pac fans trying to blame it all on Floyd.This is a two way street.I don't believe neither guy needs the other.The fans will suffer for this fight not happening.Truth be told pac should take the test 14 day cut off.But do I think he is a cheater for saying no hell no that make's no sense.That's all I'm saying it's all good to be a fan but a fan who says a fighter is cheating because he does not want to give into the demands of a FIGHTER(Key word)FIGHTER not the comm That don't fly with me.

But Rome this goes beyond Floyd and Pac. This is for the good of boxing. They wanna make it a Floyd thing but this is about the future of boxing and what better time than in the biggest event in boxing history. Be honest with me Rome, if this was Pac asking Floyd for testing can you honestly tell me this would be looked at and handled the same way?

But Rome the thing is it's true. Pavlik had a very lackluster run and nobody said nothing about it. No threats of stripping him or nothing and that happens often. It's very true that whites get a bye, then there's other **********. The powers that be would much rather see any other ********** outside of African Americans do very well and that's a unfortunate fact. No race card it's the truth, then if an AA doesn't overextend humbleness they campaign against him. They want Floyd to be this nice, humble guy forever under a microscope and one false move and they will tear his ass down. Very unfortunate but history speaks for itself.

shane is black he didnt fight for almost 16 months, he wasnt stripped

these sanctioning bodies are so greedy all they care about is fees and money, not race and color.

i applaud floyd for not fighting for the belt and not paying them a sactioning fee.

True but Shane didn't get the love Pavlik got. When Pavlik lost to B-hop he still had a home to go to but when Shane lost to Winky the whole boxing game said he was finished. You right about the sanctioning bodies cause if they weren't so full of sh-t it would be mandatory to submit to OST in order to fight for a title.

Sugar they were tallking bad about Pav when he fought Rubio remember Merchant was letting him have it.Even when he fought Lockett they were saying what the hell.But check it Pav fought B-Hop and in between fighting Taylor and Martinez not bad.I don't think they want Floyd to be humble but when you are saying I'm greater then SRR and SRL and these guy's with a resume that say's hey you have not fought guy's in their primes is why he takes so much flack.Mosley and Hoya IMO are his biggest fights to date and neither was prime.When he fought them they not passed it IMO but they were not prime.Now lets look at some other HOF guy's SRL fought a prime Hearns Duran Hagler Benitez ect ect it can't be compared.Even Hoya has alot of prime fighters on his resume and would not dear say I'm better then any of those great fighters it shows a lack of respect and then for him to not have the resume to back it up is the bigger insult you see where I'm coming from Sugar it's more then race for the reason mayweather take so much ****.

Just to remind people that it's not, they invented "THE TEA PARTY". Now where in the hell was the tea party when Bush got us in this sh-t we're in?
8 years of BS now we need a tea party.

mayweather just acted like a punk thats all.

all his **** talking and talking about mosleys divorce, finances, going overboard and crossing the line into a mans family is disrespectful and ignorant, that is why mayweather caught so much negativity, not because he was black

same with mayorga, he crossed the line personally and caught **** for it too, and he isnt black


it is a punk thing, not a race thing

to me anyways
