A clip from some article about Floyd Mayweather Jr

[rayb112]

Thus, Frank Lotierzo writes, “Mayweather has picked his spots in one way or another throughout his career. Floyd got over big time on Juan Manuel Marquez with his weigh-in trickery at the last moment. He fought Oscar De La Hoya and barely won when Oscar was a corpse. Shane Mosley was an empty package when he finally fought him seven years after the fight truly meant anything. As terrific as Mayweather is, he's not the Bible of boxing the way he projects himself as being. He came along when there were some other outstanding fighters at or near his weight. Yet, aside from the late Diego Corrales, he has never met any of them when the fight would have confirmed his greatness. It would be great to write about Mayweather and laud all that he has accomplished as a fighter without bringing up these inconvenient facts. But it can't be done if you're being intellectually honest.”


Do you agree? Has Floyd faced a champion in their prime without any catchweights? Canelo would've been a good win for Floyd if it was at 154.

Floyd's last good wins are Oscar Hatton and Cotto, the Cotto fight; yes Floyd won rounds but he got beat up as well. When was the last time Floyd got beat up?

You ain't fooling nobody with this BS you wrote yourself...Let me give you some advise...Go find a cliff and jump off it...

On top of that...the same fighters your dogging Mayweather for fighting...Pacquiao fought them after Floyd whipped them...SERIOUSLY!!!

These guys seem to keep inventing ways to say the same thing, over and over: " we think Floyd is scared to fight Manny."

The horse is long dead. You can stop beating it now.

"I'm a rich coward"

"Manny Pacquiao I'm calling you out" then he says "I never said that, don't put words in my mouth"

**** THIS ARTICLE!

if Floyd isn't getting credit for beating Oscar mosley an cotto then pac shouldn't get any credit either . pac faught all those guys after Floyd and they were all coming off loses or at catchweights.

pac vs Oscar - Oscar was drained and hadn't faught at 147 in years

pac vs mosley - after Floyd beat mosley

pac vs cotto - cotto was drained.

Floyd vs Oscar - Floyd moved up to 154 for the first time . agreed to all Oscars demands . had on heavyweight 10oz gloves an still won .

Floyd vs mosley - shane came off a win an had just destroyed margarito.

Floyd vs cotto - Floyd faught cotto at 154lbs , stood in the pocket and ****** with him the whole fight . last I checked a bleeding nose wasn't getting beaten up . cottos face was swollen to **** and brusied up.

when Floyd was with top rank bob arum wouldn't let Floyd fight any of those guys cuz at that time Floyd was high risk with a low reward. Oscar was arums cash cow at the time he wouldn't let Floyd fight him when Floyd was calling him out because he didn't want his prize fighter to loose.

Oscar is the one who asked for 147 in hopes of beating a smaller man and it backfired. Oscar got the menudo beat out of him.

He got beat up and was handed a gift when he fought Castillo

I find it amazing that real students of the game, serious journalists/boxing writers and almost all fighters, do not feel this way about Floyd. It is basically just boxing fans and scrub mediocre boxing writers (like that dip**** born idiot Scoop Malinowski or whatever the **** his name is from boxingscene). When will all of you give up seriously? It just burns so many people' asses that they guy they loathe the most is the best boxer on the planet...its hilarious that they cant accept it. When a boxer is so much better than his competition it is because he avoids fighters of course right? Funny how no one ever mentions the times way back that Floyd called out prime Shane's, Oscar's, etc. Pac fought Shane and Oscar after Floyd did when they were more shot, why no comment about his avoidance huh? You Floyd haters really are a pathetic bunch.

same ole cry baby story...

fact is floyd won't fight a top rank fighter,why is pac fighting brandon rios instead of trying to fight danny garcia ,adrien broner and marcos maidana you know dudes that haven't lost 2 of there last 3 fights? because he doesn't fight gb fighters.

floyd hasn't fought a gb fighter since carlos baldomir and pac hasn't fought a gb fighter since he fought head of gb, hell shane had to quit his job at gb to get the pac fight.

but no let's overlook facts and just make the same cry baby argument about ducking and fear.
