Comments Thread For: Mayweather Fires Back, Shreds Canelo and De La Hoya

[I Love Jesus!]

So as predicted you idiots are now looking for MWs , what a bunch of girls you are .

Why do you care? U just have to come to the defense of your girlfriend. Why dont you and Floyd go get a room somewhere or better yet just go away u creepy Floyd stalker. It's only a matter of time before Las Vegas PD arrest you for breaking in to Mayweathers home to sniff his underwear. Floyds skid marks = reloaded's mustache

[GRUSTLER]

DLH has to keep saying 'I think this is the one floyd might lose.' He's trying to make money here. Does anybody really expect him to say, "yeah, I think Canelo will probably lose to a backpedaling floyd via UD" ... cause that will really put bums in seats

Listen, I respect and like Paul Williams but his Kryptonite was boxers. Quintana 1 and Lara comes to mind. He was good but if Quintana could get under them long arms then Floyd would have for sure. Williams smashed Quintana in the rematch but he should have never lost in the first place coming off of that big win against Margarito. Williams was a balls out fighter but he had no defense and he was a sucker for a counter. Cintron was wobbling him and Martinez put his lights out.

If Williams/Mayweather would have happened then my money would have been on Floyd without a second thought. You have to have a strong jab and some pop to keep Mayweather humble and Williams didn't have either. Floyd is in another league skill wise. These guys that fight him want to fight an exciting fight but Floyd is there to win. Have to be able to out think Mayweather to beat him and there aren't any fighters that can.

I think we have to realize how boxers make their money. I is not like the NBA where you have a salary cap. I'm just putting myself in the shoes of these boxers and I probably would be considered a "duck" by not fighting certain guys, not because I'm scared to fight them, but it may not generate money. Remember the Ghost called Floyd out for a couple years. The fight builded up to a good fight money-wise and Floyd took it. I think the only thing that hurt the Mayweather Pac fight was egos, not fear by either fighter which is evident to me by how fast this Mayweather Canelo fight got signed. I believe that if Pac wanted this fight, he should of gave Floyd the test, money, etc then if he'd won, then Pac would call all the shots for the rematch. This is what Floyd had to do for Dela Hoya, and every fight who fights one of the Klits. Yes, I wish that champions made a certain amount of money, #1 contenders made a certain amount, 5-2 made a certain amount, 10-6 made a certain amount and so on and so forth. That would make boxing a lot better. That way everyone knows their purse regardless of who they fight and their would be more a reason for fighters to fight for titles instead of the most popular fighters fighting without a title at stake. If they are good enough, they will eventually fight each other for a title.

Floydie's just mad that Canelo has a huge following... a he!!uva lot bigger than he had at 22. Imagine what it'll be like after he makes an excellent showing in the ring for this fight. Funny how Floydie goes off every time he's backed into the corner by reality.

Dude all u doing is talking smack, no facts nothing solid , just the typical Mayweather hater. Floyd has factual responses and questions,how many payper views has canelo HEADLINED? How many COMPETITVE opponents has he fought? ( Mosley don't count he was 40) I'll say trout was about the only decent boxer, but still lack skill. Go look at boxing rec.com and look at the bums canelo fought in his career to supposingly be this BIG star.(ROFL) let me give u an idea, one guy he fought was 8-21, that 8 wins 21 losses! Tell me wheres the credibility in that? know your s*** b4 u talk it! Btw MAYWEATHER BY 7th rd KNOCKOUT!

Who was Williams going to bring to the event? his family and ten fans?

Boxing is also a business. To hardcore fans, Williams would have been a great fight. You can call it ducking, scared, and all the shit that makes you keyboard warriors feel big. At the end of the day, Williams didn't bring the money.

Stop acting like some casual idiot which I know you aren't..you just get emotional and let your common sense completely get blurred. Go read the entire scope of what was being discussed and maybe you'll understand it. Money..Money..Money..Floyd was still going to get his usual purse from HBO so who cares how many fans Williams brings to the table..he was the mandatory and the other guys check wouldn't have gotten any smaller. We are talking wayyyy before the ODH fight btw..go look at what Floyd was earning back then and what his opponents earned the fight would've been good smart business. Paul asked for the fight, fought enough to earn the fight beat enough people to earn the fight and was named the mandatory. What did ole boy do? He retired! So it's ok for Guerrero to get a fight but not the legit champion 5 years prior. Ortiz..one notable fight gets floyd..Guerrero wins a handed belt gets Floyd..Mosley had done nothing to earn a shot at Floyd except the public was asking for it but you were ok with those fights but not who was considered arguably a top 3 p4p fighter at that time? That's ludicrous. Fact is Paul's resume when he started asking for a mayweather fight before becoming mandatory was better than Ortiz's and Guerrero's combined.

You act as if Arum and Top Rank weren't possibly the biggest reason the Margarito and Pacquiao fights didn't happen (haven't happened yet in Pacquiao's case). Aside from those two fights, who could Floyd have added that he didn't to his resume???

Don't even say Paul Williams who lost to f**king Carlos Quintana 2 months after Floyd stopped Ricky Hatton.

Remember it was Floyd that left Arum not the other way around. Even then, Arum put Margarito on hold and waited all that year until Floyd decided to take on Baldomir instead. Again, you can't blame Arum who still hoped he could have gotten Floyd to come back .....

Manny, with his politics, had more reason than Floyd to be on all those long vacations. Again, can't be blaming Manny on Floyd's vacations nor Floyd from saying "I want ALL PPV money"

terrible excuse. P. Williams lost a close fight to Quintana. Cotto got KOed twice BUT to Floyd and his fans "he was still undefeated" ......
Williams then came back and KOed Quintana!!! Let's be honest, Floyd didn't want any part of Williams nor Martinez nor Manny nor Margarito!

Wrong! P Williams had issues against southpaws. Quintana, Lara, Martinez were all southpaws. He still was able to adjust and KO Quintana and he actually did OK in fight number 1 and was doing well against Martinez in the 2nd fight until the KO ..... but again, he had issues defending against southpaws. Being that Martinez also has some power, he changed that 2nd fight in a hurry with one punch!

Floyd didn't have the power to slow down Williams either. Williams was still walking forward after being hit by the stronger Martinez, so I don't see Williams being concerned about Floyd's pot shots.

While Floyd would have about 15 pot shots, Williams would have accumulated 70+ punches. Williams had an excellent work-rate.

Furthermore, with Williams height and reach, Williams would be able to find Floyd's head with BOTH fists! Very few if any of Floyd's previous opponents can say that. Lastly, Williams is a southpaw himself. Again that plus his height and reach would neutralize the shoulder roll.

Remember when Oscar was doing this with Victor Ortiz and Floyd took a mic and said to Ortiz "Don't worry about him(Oscar) he's old news I already kicked his ass." Lmao they still don't like one another.

floyd hates when another boxer has an actual follow

Floyds very selfish he wants to be the only dude with the following....everytime another boxer hasa fanbase or fame he has to discredit it.... i mean i lile floyd alot fom a boxing perspective an his skills but he does have hate bones in him....idc how he putsi t canelo has star power an brings an audience, manny no matter as they say these days "still sleeping' or not the guy hasa huhe following an fame still....floyd shud just understand that

[PR BOXING]

Floyd is all about his image control... talks about who the star is, how he's rich, Canelo is fighting his undercards, Junior has 10 Belts, on the throne for 17 years..... sounds like a guy who's really conquered it all doesn't it????? HARDLY. Aside from Oscar paying off Floyd's $6M tax debts so he wouldn't lose his mansions, which is why Oscar has been co-promoting several of Floyd's fights, so to get paid back the $6M. While Floyd is out frequenting strip clubs while his children are home in bed, and he's fresh out of the klink for roughing up their mother, Floyd has spent 17 years being strategic about who he hand picks to fight. He's NEVER fought the games best, IN THEIR PRIME, and has always waited until they were well past their prime, had too many wars, or just got old. Junior ducked Mosley & Cotto for more than 10 years. Junior wouldnt' fight Pacquiao in his prime and still won't fight him, but Floyd has several good BS story lines for why not. Floyd chose Ortiz as opposed to Marcos Maidana, after Maidana destroyed Ortiz. Floyd lays fame to beating Gatti, a one dimensional, lead with your chin, cuts very easy fighter, Marquez who Floyd purposely missed weight and out weighed fight night by 25lbs. He went 11 rounds with a smaller one dimensional, lead with your chin Ricky Hatton. He would never go up and fight Bernard Hopkins or Sergio Martinez. Most felt Oscar beat Floyd so much, Floyd walked away from a $25M rematch. So don't tell us how you dominate, how credible you are... you ran from Guerrero, you'll run from Canelo. You're all smoke and mirrors. If Floyd JUNIOR is all that, why does he need Oscar to CO-PROMOTE his fights; seems he'd make more money if he were the ONLY promoter... apparently he still owes Oscar money.

Im far from a floyd fan but you need to get a couple of facts straight before spewing things like this. Didn't Mosley turn down a floyd fight around 2006-07 because his tooth hurt? Bob kept Cotto from fighting floyd because he felt it was too soon. And even a Rugby fan knows floyd and pac didn't fight because Bob just don't wanna do business with floyd or oscar. And if im not mistaken, when they announced the may/oscar rematch, it was not well recieved at all
