Comments Thread For: Mayweather Jr: Critics Display Favoritism To Pacquiao

Of course floyd beat them first when they were better fighters. What accomplished fighters did manny fight at 147? Cotto (145) and Clottey? What exactly did they accomplish? Could you at all be overstating who they are just because they fought PAc?

Exactly, floyd is fighting vic AFTER he accomplished something. So if vic was B level before berto what is he now, B+? If so, when was the last B+ fighter manny fought ?

No, he's just exploiting the hype for an easy payday. Victor Ortiz will go back to a B level fighter after Mayweather embarrasses him. All the champions Mayweather challenged at 140 and 147 were average fighters who basically were lucky to win a title and were overhyped hyped due their brawler styles, a tailor-made style for Floyd to look good against (Gatti, Baldomir, Ortiz).

Tszyu, Cotto, Margarito..history will show these guys were the most established and accomplished champions when Mayweather was at 140-147. Why didn't he challenge them instead? Why didn't he challenge Paul Williams who was atleast a two-time champion? Or Pac, who was P4P #1? Or Winky instead of Zab Judah (Mayweather killed the fight demanding a rehydration clause)?

And what exactly did Ortiz accomplish, he beat Berto, big deal. He only got his shot being a Golden Boy fighter. He wasn't even top 10 at 140. Let's see him prove himself as a good champion at 147. After Floyd beats him he'll probably go the way of Gatti and Baldomir and that's why Floyd gets no credit for these type of wins. Floyd needs to stop these bull**** milking matchups and fight Pac, or if not step up to Martinez and back up what he claims.

Floydie is showing his INSECURITY..
too much blah, blah, blah...

The only way that he can reclaim the #1 PFP is to face and beat the current #1 PFP - Pacman!

and the one his fighhting (Ortiz) is NOT even rank among the top 10 PFP!

Do you even know what insecurity is?

[Froghead99]

Floyds just proving the idiotic mentality of many black people. "Oh, they don like me cuz I black."

No Floyd, people don't like you because, you're an ignorant idiotic, wife beating, child beating, piece of ****, that cherry picks, and avoids fighters. But don't worry your legion of minimum wage, crackhead, criminals will always defend you, cuz they think your antics are cool.

If I do make it rain, I'm throwing money to the American citizens in a recession. A guy comes over to our country, which is America, makes money in our country, and then takes it back to his country to feed his people. And they say this guy who's has been beating and dominating for 16 years is scared of a guy. The proof is in the pudding.

I still prefer this quote from Ellerbe:

""An example-last Friday, he Skyped with the troops in Afghanistan over, I guess it was around 2:00 a.m. and the reason why he did it was because he felt it was very important to be able to communicate with the troops and let them know how much he really appreciates what they've done for the country. He stayed on the phone with them, I think, it was over two hours.

During this time, he was able to give them a behind-the-scenes look at everything that he has going on in his life. For example, how he lives, all the wonderful things-like his cars and things of that nature, so it gave them a different perspective of actually to feel a part of what he has going on in his life.""

Kosta lost to Hatton and retired while floyd was calling him out. Margarito and cotto are not accomplished champs at 147. Baldo and Zab each were undisputed, lineal champs at one point. How in the hell have they accomplished more than them? He did challenge cotto and top rank wouldn't have it. He signed to fight manny, but manny refused to sign because floyd requested random OST with no cutoff. Like I said could it be that you are over exaggerating what happened to fit your argument rather than just interpreting the facts?

Good point about Vic. Now tell me what Marg and Manny accomplished at 154 to fight for a title? Just please evaluate everything equally.

[Horvo]

Floyd actually believes in the secret rehydration clause in the DlH fight? Dude just makes up conspiracy theories.

[Froghead99]

Everyone knows this is a cherry pick. Hes fighting a guy who barely knows how to box.

Ortiz has NO JAB. This is all Floyd does, waits for a few years waiting for the perfect figher, because he knows other fighters are too dangerous.

Floyd took cherry picking to another level, by taking years and years off inbetween fights.

But Floyds hordes of minimum wage, crack smoking idiots are too dumb to understand this. They even think beating women and children, and embarrassing yourself and your father on national TV is cool.

Are you sure??? post here a link to a credible source. He did made a gesture of giving some to charity but that was a PR stunt.

Yes, I think we can reliably assume that just about everything he does in the way of charity is done for PR reasons. And it's never anything big, costing large amounts, like a few of the others, like The Klitschko's or MannyP or even Arum.

A recent caae in point was reported on BoxngScene when Gennaro Heranadez died. The BIG headlines were that Mayweather was paying for the funeral (which likely cost $5-7 thou the most) He said " I talked to him a few weeks ago and said I'd send him some money". I SAY, why didn't he send him the money whilst he was alive and could benefit from it? And that if he had not died then it's likely that Mayweather would have forgotten about sending him any money-that he had already forgotten, until he was reminded by Hernandez having died.

At the same time, it was found out, purely by accident, and not from Arum himself, nor from any PR announcement, that Arum had been paying for Hernandez' chemotheraphy treatments ( each costing $10 thou plus) for years, making sure that one of his aides brought him both to and from the treatment centre, and also had been supporting the Gernandez family financially for many years.

A BIG difference both in charitable intent, and amount....... REAL Charity is done quietly.

[Froghead99]

Floyd does one or two decent things, ONLY FOR PR.

Is this suppossed to make us forget that he beats women all the time? That he beats children? That he beats random strangers?

This guys is a racist, ignorant, uneducated, criminal thug. Only his legions of minimum wage, high school dropouts think this is cool, but Floyd will be remembered as a loud mouth criminal thug, who is most likely going to prison, where his black ass belongs.

This could not be true. He COULD NOT have signed to fight MannyP BEFORE the contract INCLUDED the special blood tests he insisted on........or else the fight would have had to have gone on, WITHOUT the bloodtest. Or else Mayweather would have been under the stigma of having broken a signed and binding contract.....

You are NOT telling the truth.
