Is Floyd hurting boxing by being the face of the sport?

[Fooliun_Smaxon]

Depends what you mean by boxing. The business of boxing he is not hurting, the reputation and the spirit of competition he is definitely hurting. Not even giving the The People's Champion a chance to fight him is a disgrace. Imagine what Henry Armstrong or Ali would say?

[junior gong]

Huh? No. Boxing had it's best year in awhile last year and he is the best boxer in the sport. How could he be hurting it seriously. Only newbs don't like Floyd because he beat Hatton or they are Manny fans.

Anyone watching boxing for an extensive period appreciates what Mayweather does.

There has been a lot of dumb things said here today, but this one is a howler! Most people think floyd is a **** and dont like him. The only ones that do are his bumsniffing, gay ass fanbase.

And if you have watched boxing for an 'extensive' period, then the latter phase of floyd's career will have been a massive disappointment. No boxing fan, at least a fairminded one and not a bumsniff, appreciates floyd for deliberately scotching the biggest fight our era should have witnessed.

I could care less that Mayweather is an arse, the guy punches people for a living. Everyone and their mum were saying Floyd would duck Alvarez and guess what, he fought him. Same with Mosley. How easy to forget when it's not your agenda!

So because Monzon killed his wife I shouldn't think he was a great boxer? Stop being such a wimp.

[junior gong]

I dont care about him being an arse either. Sure he fought Canelo, but took the gloss off it by doing it at a CW after all the sanctimonious crap he and his fans had repeatedly said about catchweights....basically hung himself with his own words. And Mosley??? That was a crap opponent choice, Mosley was older than the hills and shot to ****.

Who appointed you to speak on behalf of boxing fans? If all the things you said are your opinion, or even your friends, family or whatever clan you belong to, fine. Be happy in your bitterness (that's sure how it comes across).

This whole "if you don't agree with me, you're a *insert juvenile, schoolyard, snot-nosed insult here*" is so dumb and non-productive.

What Mayweather is to boxing (good or bad) really depends on what you like to watch, how much attention you pay to the business side, who you blame for the whole Pacquiao/Mayweather fiasco and how much stock you put in out-of-ring affairs. I like to watch him fight, I don't pay much attention to the business side, but I'm not naive that I don't know that there are two major promotion companies and tv networks scrabbling for evey dollar. Mayweather and Pacquiao are both to blame for the mess and Walker Smith Jr beat women but is still regarded as the best ever.

Boxing will miss him when he retires even if some people are resolved not to.

What a load of whiny, butthurt guff. Boxing will not miss Floyd at all, it didnt miss him last time he 'retired' and it will miss him even less next time because his post Hatton comeback has been a huge rip off.

Boxers "hang themselves" with their own words all the time, like Pacquiao saying the "more stringent testing is good for the sport of boxing" years after refusing partake, passing on the biggest fight of a generation in the process. He's still a great fighter. Still great even though he fought an even older Mosley. Boxing will miss him too.

Sure it will. I who else will generate such huge audiences and who else are you going to constantly belly ache about? People who aren't missed are people no one talks about.

Hang on a minute....Are you one of those floydspastics?

[DeadLikeMe]

Of course he is good for the sport. He is doing the best numbers of any non-heavyweight in history. Just because junior dong wants to cry and resort to immaturity page after page doesn't make it any less the truth.
