Comments Thread For: Mayweather: If they keep paying, keep handpicking them!

Sarcasm? The sad thing is that even if he was being sarcastic, he is still giving a factual account of his career. The public perception of him being a cherrypicker is there for a reason....its true!

Its really not something he should be joking about. Just another embarrasing gaff.

In the other thread you posted laughter at ESPN fans voting him top 5 alltime. Then in this thread you post that cherrypicker is the public perception of floyd.

Clearly the public has a different perception than you.

coming straight from his mouth...cherry-picking is good...i like that...

The big question I pose to you guys is, "Why do they keep paying Floyd if he is hand picking his opponents"?

Just tell me why? I only want to know why, that's all.

Because the majority of money comes from casual boxing fans who in reality don't care, unlike some of the but huggers here. You assume the real world cares about Floyd or any boxer for that matter. So your argument is not valid. You look like your trying to fish for a defense to this when you can't.

Yes, sarcasm. The video clearly shows to anyone withn a brain cell he is being sarcastic and playing on the people who say that he cherry picks his opponents.

He needs to stop it. Because those same people can't seem to fathom it.

why should he stop, because posters and writers who know otherwise want to play ******? He should keep it up. Then everytime a fan or writer calls him on it, ask them to apply the same standard they apply to floyd to their favorite fighter.

The inevitable response from boxed in reporters and fans is floyd is held to a different standard because he is the best of his generation and we want to see his skills in with guy x or guy y. etc etc.

Which is exactly what floyd has been saying on and on and on and on for the past 5-6 years. EVen his detractors and nonm fans inevitably get boxed into a corner where they have to begrudgingly admit floyd is an ATG fighter.

As I tell my son when we are in the car-there is always more than one way to get to where you want to go.

Sensible boxing fans knew, Floyd confirmed. Case closed.

Are you sensible?

Because I know you don't think he's a cherry picker, considering according to you he should have fought Cotto at 154, Mosley, Ortiz was going to beat him, Guererro was the best fight available at the time etc.

Took the words out my mouth.

It's baffling.

Not buying it. Whene ever Floyd speaks and says somthing he shouldn't have, his fans come flocking in here to defend him. The guy is not a smart talker and is always putting hit foot in his mouth, so yeah I ain't buying the sarcasm and he has proven when he is upset he talks out of his a@@.


Also you have it wrong its "NSB, if your not a Flômø, then you know crap about boxing"

why shouldn't he have said it? if he said, no I didn't, you and others would say yes he did anyway. when floyd says something you can use against him, you and others run with it. When he says something you can't, you say its a lie and discount it.

So what should he have said? this should be good.

It's crazy. The opponents that THEY picked, are considered cherry picks AFTER they get schooled.

[Larry the boss]

Before Floyd fights fighters"he wont fight them or he will lose"after he beats them "oh they were cherry picks" ya'll are just haters
