    Hes basically saying don't try to fight me in the streets because of what I do for a living.

    T.I. wants to talk to him in private and Floyd disrespected him in front of everyone. T.I.'s got money so it wasn't one of those cases where a dude is trying to get a payday.

    All of this could've been avoided if Floyd and T.I. went and had a conversation about this like gentleman but Floyd wanted to be a **** and T.I. had to swing to get his respect.


    So they've already talked in private, and Floyd is supposed to just be okay with this guy just confronting him out of the blue at Fatburger? Lol. It's safe to assume T.I wasnt invited which is where the hostilites come from... Otherwise he'd have no issue speaking with him. Some guy basically stalked Floyd and went to meet him and demand an audience over his own insecurities. Chek, you're a man and no way would you let some guy just bust in on you like that with hostility. He could have called, text, etc.


    And Lebanon, life and death? Where are these fights taking place? The Colosseum? Lol. Street fights arent life and death fight...very rarely does that happen.

    Bottom line is, any trained fighter (MMA or boxing) has a MASSIVE advantage no matter what. They usually stop the fight before it starts... If there's no rules..you think a regular person is going to even SEE the first punch thrown by Floyd, Pac, Jon Jones, etc? Without gloves? It's the same thing with boxers vs mma. No mma fighter would be dumb enough to take down and grapple in a crowded place full of dude's friends. Get kicked in the head, hit im the back of the head/elbowed in the neck when trying to pull em down, etc. Mma fighters and boxers have that advantage because of training and what they can do on the feet. Grappling is really only practical in a one on one situation. Kick boxing, thai boxing, boxing, etc are the most practical because they keep you on the feet in position to throw more and/or create distance (or run).

    Anyway wtf..

    T.I should know better... Floyd giving him the good old "Dont do this to yourself, T.I... I fight for a living vs others who do the same.." Jealousy makes idiots out of men but he's lucky he wasnt stepping to one of the many crazies in boxing. Very few fighters are going to back down in that same situation... A Mike Alvarado or Rios or Zab, etc would have indiscriminately knocked him out.

        "Wait, wait. Stop."

        *everyone stops throwing chairs and hamburger patties*

        *Floyd opens his purse and hands TI a pair of 20 oz Grants*

        "OK, I'm ready to die"

              Two guys ceremonially throwing down over a girl is different. That's an honor thing and of course the trained boxer wins.


              A Professional Fighters without 8oz Gloves REGARDLESS is Dangerous and again in a Court of Law "He Box For A Living So His Hands Are Basically Lethal Weapons" Mayweather wouldn't have to be defensive against the Average Person, he would land so quick the average person would be out before he could throw a punch back.

              Fans are underestimating the hell out of just how Dangerous these fighters can be and what they do for a Living. A boxer Bare Knuckle would do SERIOUS DAMAGE to the Average Person regardless of what his Power is like during his Professional Career

                    Floyd, STFU ! you do your thing IN the RING !!! out in the streets even I **** you up, rush your skinny ass and take you down and its over !

                    last thing i heard was that Floyd was refusing to fight TI based on no drug testing and he was forcing TI to use Grant 16oz gloves.
