Mayweather is going to get persecuted on ESPN Today.

[deejd]

That panel is like having:

Makavelli
Peyk peyk
Pac Boy
Talisayen
Lady Fan
Modern talking


all sitting at a round table. Not one of them knows anything about boxing.

Couldn't have said it any better.

Wilbon is a clown with an agenda. He crapped on Verlander wanting to get 7 no hitters because of "history proving that things like this don't happen often" and even mentioned the rise in pitching stats having a direct link to PED issue. Then turn around and poo poo Floy's PED request as if it isn't a viable question to ask in 2011. He all but blamed Floyd for Saturday's fight. Shameful.

He made his bed, I don't feel sad about him laying in it. What do u expect people to call him, a warrior?

[TR vs. GB]

lol I think Floyd and Wilbon have beef in their personal life

I don't know about that. Wilbon has interviewed floyd a number of times in the past and did nothing but praise the guy. It wasn't until he started running from pac that he took heat. These guys get paid to share an opinion, what was he supposed to say? The whole worlds been ****ting on floyd for his antics. Dudes just telling it like it is

How dare you blaspheme on the eight time chizamp. Thats not the point, the point is FMJ is a coward!! Manny was behind the plan to get Osama. Manny was there and part of the raid just days befpore the SSM fight. Floyd is betting baseball games. Whose the man now????

its not blasphemy its the damm truth. And american sports has always played favored when it comes to who to criticize and for what reason. Let all you *****s and *******s play the blame game, im gonna go by the facts. Fact; they only had 1 legitimate negotiation where both parties sat down and talked about a potential fight, that was last january. Fact Mayweather agreed to his ridiculous demand of paying 10mil per lb every pound he was over weight, and Pacquiao did not agree to random drug testing. PERIOD, everything else going on is to sway public opinion. Be real and any pacquiao fan ask themselves this question. 2 years ago, when the negotiations failed to make manny vs pacquiao , fans DEMANDED that floyd take a challenge and face the next toughest opponent at welterweight, who was shane mosley at the time. When are we going to pretend that Manny is not doing the exact same thing floyd was and fighting names that dont bring much to the table in the ring, but have a lot of fans outside of it. Now you mean to tell me his next step up in competition is Marquez at 145lbs. FLoyd would be crucified if he took steps backwords in competition the way manny has been...... Manny does get a pass, to the point where his fight with miguel cotto @ a catchweight was a fricking title fight. ONLY FOR MANNY.

That is true but he is much more adamant about attacking Floyd. I think part of the reason he is going so hard at Floyd to is because he thinks Floyd doing this is hurting Boxing and helping mma as he has stated many times his love for Boxing and how he detests mma and how he is sad where the sport of Boxing is.

Brilliant post. The only problem I have with Floyd was in 2008 when Miguel Cotto whooped Alfonso Gomez and was on a collision course with Margarito I would have liked for Floyd to come out and either challenge Cotto or say he wants the winner of that fight instead of talking about rematching Oscar. But of course I dont blame Floyd bc if he fought Oscar again he would have made like $25 million and would have got less for the Cotto fight. Arum would not have let any of that happen but I would have enjoyed Floyd expressing interest that he wanted to fight Cotto.
