Mayweather has consistently avoided the best available opposition (Great Article)

[James_Toney]

lol @ good article.... to someone who doesn't know anything about the sport....

the 'so-called' avoided fighters were all guys, who either fought for top rank.... or had 0 ability to sell a ppv, meaning the risk outweighed the reward....

boxing's a business moron.

Hauser ain't a tabloid journalist, he is respected and has integrity in his profession.

respect and integrity take years to build and seconds to destroy. He was once very highly respected. Now he's scoop malinowski level since he's been on TR's payroll.


SHame, waste of a very talented writer.

you dont have to agree with it because it all based on opinion and even this article is his opinion where some agree and some disagree. When floyd and pac retire they will go down as the best of this era and will be first ballot hall of fame.

Yes they will be, but when discussing Floyd's career you cannot avoid Floyd's avoidance.

ortiz, Baldomir and ghost were PPV giants? Hmm. Interesting.

[sicko]

LOL Baldomir a mandatory.

I'm going to let you work out why that one is so wrong.

Floyd avoided Margarito, but then again, so did Judah and so did Spinks, Marg was number 1 challenge for years but they all avoided him.

Correction was made Paul Williams is who I was talking about but HBO wasn't calling for no damn Williams vs Mayweather they wanted Baldomir

Yeah I am sure Arum was willing to work with a guy that just left him and put more money in his Pocket right? Come on you like many don't use no logic and don't tell the full story! Mayweather left Top Rank to do the fight with Oscar because bitter Bob Arum told him he wasn't going to work with Oscar again

This is why he left Top Rank, this is why he bought himself out of his deal with Top Rank...Arum offered Margarito and bigger pay day as a last resort to get Mayweather to stay with Top Rank, it is funny how this part of the story always gets left out, how Ironic!

Groupie talk. I'd expect you to at least acknowledge the fact that one can disagree with an article but still respect the author's merit. Instead you pull the low-brow, groupie excuse.

his position is not reflective of the loss of credibility, especially since the last article which cited "rumors". He can always regain his credibility down the road.

its no different than someone who publishes a paper for one of the think tanks-you write what you are paid to write.

I'm waiting for you to respond to my earlier post regarding pwill and margs and your contention that "best win" makes the better fighter.

Hauser was laughed at after the ped article. He did that to himself. He's like scoop or dougie-using their platform to settle scores.

That has no merit.

[Thickback]

Guess when he couldn't prove the rumors about PED positiives he had to go a different route. So he writes an opinion piece that non floyd fans will take as gospel just like they did the announcement of floyd khan 24 hours ago-which proved to be false and illuminated the sheep like mentality that develops when one commits to hating floyd in a "tea partyesque we hate *****" way.

With all the positive press floyd has been recieving post Canelo and the fact Hauser' last article was pretty much laughed at and he was exsposed as a TR shill-I doubt this article or the points raised will affect floyd's legacy outside the anti floyd crowd bubble.

Very well stated.
