The Only Reason Mayweather's At Where He's At Is...

[ßringer]

I think theres more to it.I mean noone cares about bernard hopkins.

Yeah but Hopkins really never wanted to be a crossover success. He's been anti-establishment his entire career, talked a ton of trash, said his own racist remarks, and just plain didn't give a ****.

Floyd does, and it's obvious.

Despite being one of, if not, the most talented fighters ever and probably more entertaining than Oscar

You must be joking.

I can tell you right now, and im REALLY not being biased when i say this, hope you believe me, that Mayweather's career set, is no where near as exciting as DLH's, and ive seen most if not all DLH's fights, these are the Mayweather fights ive seen..

Mosley
Baldy
Castillo 1+2
Marquez
Hatton
DLH
Judah
Mitchell
Bruseles
Gatti
Corley
N'dou
Chavez
Sosa
Hernadez
Corrales
Burton
Gerena
Juuko
Manfredy

Read again, that line was about Roy Jones Jr. in comparison to De La Hoya.

I would love to see Hoya come out of retirement and fight Margarito.

These guys don't have to promote the fight.

Just an example of the kinds of fights that sell.

[Mr. Fantastic]

Floyd acts that way to compensate for not fighting the best always.

If he would of fought the people that the fans wanted to see, he wouldn't catch anywhere near the heat that he does now.

Although Mayweather takes things a bit too far sometimes.

lol those guys are talking **** about each other like there promoting
a fight with each other.

If he was a genuinely nice guy, didn't have numerous body guards and a posse with him at all times, and seemed to genuinely care he could have been a crossover superstar.

You can be entertaining, fun, the "villian", and trash talk without being a genuine **** in reality. The way he is may have gotten him to where he is, but it's also what is holding him back from true superstardom.

Probably, but it's the price he had to pay.

Floys almost 0 wittiness to be an 'entertaining, fun, villain', that'd be too much to ask of him. His fans like to deny it, but it's not an act, it's actually an exaggerated version of himself. That's why even in his personal pictures and videos all he has to offer is diamond encrusted **** and his big boy toys.

[Dynamite Kid]

To be honest with you, ive seen most of Roy's fights, and i think Roy Jones could be pretty tedious to watch, there were too many lulls in the action cause he was strictly a counter puncher who never wanted to lead, what you ended up with, was a lot of times when your jaw would be on the floor and you would think, holy ****, that was amazing, but then other times where you thought, many this is tedious, there is too much waiting on Roy's part.

I would say Oscar's fights were more entertaining than Roy's to.

He knows what hes doing hes selling tickets. He wants everyone to hate him whats annoying is listening to his super fans defend him when he wants to be hated. Doesnt make sense to me.
