Comments Thread For: Mayweather: If I Beat Canelo, They Will Create More Foes

[HarvardBlue]

The average boxing fan hate Floyd Mayweather. He's too good and unfortunately, he's not humble about it. These same fans who spend the majority of time hating happens to support boxers they know can never beat Floyd or worst lost to Floyd. Canelo is a good boxer but he can't beat Floyd. I once thought he had a chance but not after Saturday night. If they fight and Floyd wins, the haters will not let it go. They'll find another reason to hate and another loser to support. Floyd is saying what everyone knows is true. Unfortunately for him the haters will never give him the benefit of the doubt for simply speaking the truth.

Limit Floyd's future opponents among the BEST from Welterweight to Middleweight that are inside the top ten P4P!

Well of course more foes will come to the forefront Floydie. That's what happens after you fight. Decision are made afterwards to fight someone else, until you retire. Geez, I'll be glad when this ducking idiot retires. What a whiner. As for Canelo, I don't think Floydie realizes just how good Canelo is. Canelo is one of those fighters who fights just above the level of his opponent. Kind of like a pool shark JUST beating his opponent, so he can drum up another sucker to take his money. Canelo shows more talent every fight, and he's just 22. Floydie wouldn't get past him. If he ducks Canelo, we'll know proof positive just how much of a ducker he really is. End of story.

Joe Louis fought some bums during his reign, but he was a humble man. And he wasn't a woman beater or a thug. THAT is why people hate Floydie.

Whitaker barely outpoint JCC? Sweet Pea would never struggle against Jose Luis Castillo, and Floyd past in his 30s never fought anyone who was a heir to his throne for the pound for pound supremacy like Whitaker did when he fought Dela Hoya, whom many thought would walk through him.

Not sure about Paul Williams, but the punisher who was able to slip Winky Wright's defense might give Floyd serious problems, Williams is all wrong for anyone like Mayweather, Cotto and Mosley, thats why none of them fought him.

how do you know that?

And there it is. When all other argument fails, bring up domestic violence. This is a boxing forum. You might wanna take your comments to a battered women site.

Of course Oscar isn't AA and Ray Leonard doesn't get the props he deserves. Most fly-by-night fans don't know much about the Great Ray Leonard. Be real with yourself dude, "WHATS SO GOLDEN ABOUT OSCAR? Yeah, I know, good but not golden.

It's not about what is so Golden about Oscar. The fact is Oscar and Leonard had people emphatically endeared to them. They were called the Golden Boys because of Olympic Gold, representing America and because they had million dollar smiles and captivated their era. Floyd once said before the Oscar fight that someone has to play the bad guy since he WAS a good guy too at the time and from that time, he changed to that bad guy and has not reverted back to a more endearing person or persona. He never acted the way he did and does now before the Oscar fight. He became something else and it became him. I was a Fan of Floyd's for over 10 years. I didn't like what he became from the Oscar fight. It is what it is. It has absolutely nothing to do with color......Leonard and Oscar proved that. Leonard is my all-time favorite fighter, bar none. I met him, I even have emailed him more than once. He wasn't perfect but he fought everyone. He left no stone unturned. Lets see if Floyd will leave no stone unturned. I doubt it.

Read some old interviews from before the Judah and Gatti fights, he was exactly the same. Floyd's just not capable of the good guy persona, the chip on his shoulder weighs too heavy.

He became far worse with the Oscar fight and beyond. The things he said to Oscar were gross as hell. He said it best, someone had to play the bad guy. He has been playing it since.
