Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Jr: The Great Disappointment

[Spacey1991]

Bring back the Floyd avatar and sig. Fuck the ****s on here who try to intimidate you.

Nah its all good mate, I just fancied a change from having the same pics in there for ages, im still a fan of Floyds skills. Dont worry about that, none of these guys are really intimidating, its an internet forum... it aint like im ever gonna meet any of these guys, thats why I dont act like a complete and utter twat and try to big myself up on here like loads of others do lol, not as if I have anything to prove lol.

ok smarty im not repeating what i read...i wrote what i think is correct....now move on and talk to somebody else..im having a blast in my new years eve...keyboard warriors dayum!

All u *******s are brain washed into believing in something that doesnt exist. How can a fighter 41-0, 6 time world champ in 5 different weight classes be labled as a dissapointment? According to who? a *******??? I have yet to read an article on why the 8 classes champ is refuses to take a random blood test. I have yet to read articles on why fighters in the same camp are fighting each other and not fighting fighters from another camp...People complain that floyd didnt fight cotto, clottey, margarito, or Pac...all those are top rank fighters, hence the reason manny has fought them and not anyone from GB or Tim bradley, or berto....stop being bias and use your own brain on whats going on....Floyd wanted to fight , Bob just didnt feed Manny to Floyd the way you wanted him too..

floyd would have been favored over all of them especially Maragrito around the Baldomir fight. he would have been heavily favored over margarito. margarito hadn't beaten anybody. He hadn't even beat a champion for his belt. margarito skill level would never put him par with Floyd at the betting tables...lol.

i don't mind getting your $$$. but in how you do it matters. All these catchweights, grabbing title without defenses, fighitng punching bags, and guys coming off unimpressive fights is for the birds. pacquiao has been raping history!!!!

u say Floyd has astericks since JLC.... I can't agree with that. Nothing wrong with taking out Gatti for your 3rd title. Nothing wrong with fighting the former undisputed champion and lineal champ in consecutive fights. Nothing wrong with fighting oscar for his 154 belt at 154. Nothing wrong with coming back and beating Mosley the way your critics said u couldn't. nothing wrong with his career after castillo!

doesn't sound like the resume of an atg to me.

zab just came off a pathetic loss and since has never been able to beat a real ww other than spinks or cosme rivera lol! zab got murked by everyone at ww

baldo was a slow fighter with no pop and has never proven to be anything other than gatekeeper level who got lucky to get a title. he beat no one of note to get his shot against zab and they tried to give his title to gatti.

do i really need to explain the asterik on gatti?

oscar was a decent win over a fighter well over 5 years past his prime.

shane was a good win, but the asteriks are that he had a 17 month layoff and had plenty of mileage on him.

[bluetuazon]

baldo, hatton and shane. one of which pac fought and is fighting as left overs and shane who pac ducked coming off his win against marg but now wants him since hes ona losing streak

but here is the thing. floydbeat two WWs and lineal champs in Shane and Baldo. taking their titles. too bad pac cant say that

fyi..pac has 4 lineal titles...

I personally blame Floyd Sr. for all that has gone wrong with Jr's career and life as of late. I wish they would have not reunited until after Jr's career was over.

How can anyone be around someone so paranoid, so hateful, and so resentful without at least some of it spilling over?

Without Sr. in his life, we would all be here talking about how great the Floyd/Manny fight was. Floyd would be busy fighting and keeping out of trouble.

PAC is 32. His last 2 opponents were MARGARITO and CLOTTEY who are 32 and 34, respectively.. so why do people say PAC only fights old people? FLOYD picked on MARQUEZ who is 2 weight classes smaller.. then fought old SHANE out his prime. FLOYD (34) needs to fight PAC (32) NOW!

Marquez and Manny come from the same weight class, hell even floyd came from that weight class. And the fact that you dwell on Marquez being so small, your saying that a man that small couldnt compete at 147 because he was too small. But when floyd says Manny is on PEDS to compete at 147 in such fashion, you get mad. Marquez came up from 135 to 144 to face floyd and ever bashed floyd. But Manny came up from 135 to 147 to face oscar who was weighing 160ish. No one complained about that with Oscar, hell they wanted to see that fight, they called it THE DREAM FIGHT. But because floyd did it, oh its wrong. And because Floyd won , he was picking on a little guy...out of 41 fights all u can name is Marquez as being small. Just these last 2 years i can name about 5 catch weights with Manny...

Martinez he wanted at 147 (hes a middle weight lol)
Cotto (145)
Marquez he wanted at 147
Mosley he originally wanted at 142
Margarito catch weight of 150

and the list goes on in on..

[ReUterZ]

You must all have forgot what this guy has accomplished.

Accomplished?

Oh I already forgot. Please refresh me and elaborate all.

didnt u read what i posted??? i said that I WANT THE FIGHT TO HAPPEN!!! with or without blood tests..with or without the 10mill per pound penalty...i dont care..i want to see them fight..i couldnt care less if mayweather is 41-0....it doesnt mean **** to me....i dont care about pacs 8th weightclass...it doesnt mean ****....i want them to fight....as far as i know pac only is a legit champ in 6 weight divisions with 4 lineal titles...how about you???? do u stlll hide beyond the lies and rumors of the steroid use of pac?? the fact is he is not guilty of anything....what happened to the innocent until proven guilty part of americas constitution?? huh???

[GRUSTLER]

See now you're trying to tweak the subject! You said you deal in facts, deal in them! He honored the contract, didn't mean he had to, he chose to. And about who PAC is facing now! Just be honest, put Floyd in pac's position which he has been in! Did he fight young lions or did he secure solid paydays against so so opposition. He did the latter, didn't he? The fight is Floyd-PAC period! And attack on resumes on who's better is moot! And Floyd is the reason that fight isn't happening. Its too much scrutiny on ped's in sports for Floyd not to win the media battle if that was what was holding the fight up. And u got to smart enough to know that! All Floyd would have to do is step up and say I want this fight with blood tests and if Arum and Pac refused. Then manny's career to this point would be fully discredited, but that's not happening and it's because Floyd doesn't want this fight! His fans are way more confident in his victory than he is. And don't go acting like pineal champs grow on trees, Floyd lucked up on Baldomir because of a less than professional zab!

Floyd did it already in March remember? I didn't start the who's
resume is better. Pac fans did. Floyd wanted the fight but Pac
didn't, plain and simple. Can't blame Floyd now and say that he
should step up and call Pac out when Amir Kahn just told us that
Pac said he is not mentally fit to take blood tests now.

Great article. You watch Floyd's older fights and listen to his post-fight interviews, the guy had a passion and fire to be the best that very few individuales posses in any competitive field . Now he only cares about money and about his larger than life persona. I think all the true boxing fans miss the old Floyd.
