Was Floyd Mayweather A Wasted Talent?

[Franco2012]

his money will be wasted too as soon as his career is over.

He is broke already,otherwise he would already pay Josie to lie that he never touch her,just like he pay her the first time!

Floyd has huge talent and could have produced some of the best fights. Instead he chose to avoid fighters, take the easy way out, and even retire in his prime. We the public added to that fire. We chose to pay for his lack luster fights. Never again.

But but but FLoyd is jumping rope faster then Baldomir does!

A #1 welterweight who was 38 years old and who hadn't fought in 2 years. And whose last fight that gave him that ranking was against a weight drained cheater who couldn't cheat(though mayweather didn't know that yet). And whose last 3 fights prior to that, he looked like garbage in. Mayorga especially.

Fact is, he was #1 at WW and had DOMINATED Marg. How was Marg weight drained? His last 8 fights before that were at WW. Are you saying he was weight drained in those fights too? Give him credit where it's due.

I didn't mention Marg, if you're gonna quote me, at least read what I wrote, and ever since i joined this website I never said Hatton was blown up. I gave floyd credit for that win. And I'm not focused on the timetable because floyd could have waited and then signed. If he can take a 1 year vacation to avoid pacquiao, why can't he wait a few months to GET a fight that proves he's as good as declares himself? What, is floyd God? He can just see a fight in his mind, and know that he's gonna win without actually fighting, and then he just declares himself better than sugar ray leonard, muhammad ali, marvin hagler etc because of that?

I agree that he shouldn't have fought JMM, but as I've said it was a tune-up and there really weren't all that many options for him at that time.

Is floyd the only boxer in the world that doesnt have to fight to prove himself? Because that's what you guys are telling me.

I'm not even a Floyd fan, but you're discrediting what are good wins.

Pac was still considered a lightweight- like marquez was, which is what made that fight compelling, because Hatton had the physical advantage.

Hatton was undefeated and looked good coming into Floyd, again I don't see how someone could discredit that win, other than being biased.

And i'm not talking about Pacquiao's career, i'm talking about floyd's. Wether or not pac cherry picked has no impact on Floyd blatantly cherry picking.

If the cherry picking was blatant, I wouldn't be defending Floyd. As I said I'm not a fan of the guy.

His best win is against flat footed,slowest guy ever,weight drained,guy with negative record BALDOMIR.

who got KTFO by a green..............Canelo...........

but he wasn't. pacquiao surpassed mosley in the rankings. ring magazine which is owned by golden boy even had pac ahead of mosley. plus aren't you supposed to be dropped from the rankings after a year of inactivity?

I sure didn't. Not after JMM had to come up 2 divisions and Floyd wouldn't come down to the agreed weight. He paid instead of cutting. Lame

Tony Was weight drained but it was his own fault. He came into camp like 30 lbs over for a 7 week camp. His own damn fault and the wraps on top of that. Big mistake

You got a link for that? I knew Pac was top of the p4p rankings but I thought Shane was still #1 at WW before the fight. Either way Floyd fought the best available and everyone was agreed on that until Floyd dismantled Shane.
