Comments Thread For: “Fighting Words” – The Impermanent Impertinence of Floyd Mayweather Jr.

How can you call Floyd a winner if he is too scared to sign the contract to fight the Honorable Congressman from the Philippines. A winner is declared after a fight. Chicken Floyd is very good in badmouthing other people and badmouthing even his own father...still remember what he did to his own father, the house, the car. What he did a few days ago is show his education if there is any...sorry to say , there is none. People around the world got furious in response to the ignorant behavior that chicken Floyd showed. Now to make Floyd a winner in reality, tell him to sign a contract to fight Manny Pacquiao and if he beats Manny Pacquiao he can be called a winner. Today the whole world is considering Floyd a sore loser...trying very hard to do ****** things hoping to be noticed.

FOOLISH FLOYD is like a CRAZY POLICE DOG.

WISE MEN talk because they have something to say;
FOOLS just like FLOYD "THE COWARD" MAYWEATHER, JR. talk because he just have to say something... only a FOOLISH FLOYD MAYWEATHER, JR. FOOLS with SIN... and he is like a CRAZY POLICE DOGS. Thereby Floyd, Jr. should be LEASHED.

Correct! It's all about legacy and not the money. Even though you have lots of money, its never enough. In the end, the way a person will be remembered is by what they accomplished.

I'm sick and tired of this fairytale view on legacy vs. money. Yes, I understand how epic it is to be remembered throughout history for your accomplishments. However, at the same time, people have to realize how America has treated its greats. Joe Louis died a broke man. Joe Frazier, with all his glory, leaves at the back of an old and decripid gym. Are any of his fans flocking to his aid and giving him what he so justly deserves?? As much as we hate to admit it, "legacy don't pay bills."

You just schooled everyone on the whole legacy issue, but at the sametime Floyd has made millions to last a lifetime while back in the days boxers had secondary jobs and never made enough money to last them a lifetime if managed the right way. But I give you props on how nobody from sports writers to their fans of the big networks who continue to make money of past greats with documentaties books and even replaying their fights on "ESPN CLASSICS" while they sleep on the streets.

Are you dense? Is your reading comprehension that low?? I just stated how a legacy is important. I'm a real fan in the sense that I realize that sporting icons don't owe us as much as some idiots think they do. Hahaha, "skills pay bills cliche"?? Tell that to Frazier my friend...lol
