Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Reading Won’t Define My Place in History

[Wuckoo]

this would make sense if not for the following:

Rid**** bowe refused to fight lennox lewis on multiple occassions
manny refused to fight Floyd twice

Was wondering when Dunn would show up and make it a pac/mayweather feud thread.

[FloydvsPac]

"Intelligent and education are two different things".

"I could've been up 24hrs and just landed in NYC".

Which one is it, Floyd?? This MOFO had his excuses ready from the get go!! Then tries to use an EDITED SHO promo to prove to us that he can read. The only thing that video proved was that he couldn't memorize or read for more than 20 seconds. Totally reeks of desperation!

[ManUtd626]

If it is true he cannot read it really shows how boxing can make dreams come true. Imagine fighters like FMJ and Rios, without boxing these guys would be working in low income jobs or worse.

Looked like he was responding to someone else who made it a mayweather/Pacquiao thread

Yeah the thing about the testing and such?

Scrap it mate.

I pressed Rid**** Bowe the other day and he claims all sorts of reasons why he didn't fight Lennox and, like you, cited the other party as the cause.

But there are 2 similarities that make them completely united.

Both their natural adversaries (Pac and Lennox) chased the other around for the most part BEGGING to fight. And similarly in response, both were ignored.

Answer me this...

Why do we see for 5 years straight nothing but Pac and his while team publically urging this fight on whilst Floyd, despite tens of thousands of people daily urging him to fight Pac, totally ignores it all without any comment?

Exactly the same as Bowe.

Bowe and Floyd are both great boxers.

But they are both famous for being the 2 greatest cowards the sport has ever produced.

It's tough for you fans to swallow but that's what it is.

Forget about holding on to the though of MAYBE being TBE or whatever he calls it.

Who cares if you "0" is on the line.

Better to go out on your shield than never to try at all... Right?

[Elroy1]

The most famous example...

Floyd on FB: I'm going to let the public choose my next opponent...

Days go by, everyone excited.. Thousands of ppl already comment Pac.

"Khan or Maidana?"

That's it. We got to choose between them 2.

Thosands spew **** and claim Pac.

No answer.

One sentence was uttered in a different conference... "A Pac fight doesn't make sense."

Biggest fight in history doesn't make sense.

Yep. That's what I call "BUSTED"

The problem with your point is it isn't factual. Manny hasn't chased Floyd anywhere. He refused a 50/50 split, then he refused the $40 mil, no ppv offer. That didn't happen in the Bowe/Lennox situation.

Publically they have said they want the fight their actions when presented offers suggest otherwise. Let me put it to you in these terms-Floyd says he can read in public, do his actions suggest tis is actually the case?

In Bowe's case you have the dumping of the title in the can-did Floyd do that?

I agree better to go out on your shield. in the Bowe Lennox situation you are asking the guy who refused to fight, not Lennox. In the Floyd pac situation you are asking the guy who gave offers to go out on his shield, not the guy who refused to fight.

But we can discuss on PM as not to derail thread.

I see no point to continue discussion.

There can be no 2 ways about it. You can point to end decisions but as to what exactly happened and who was to blame really in fine detail you are not to say.

One thing is certain. Pac is very honest. He wants to fight. Floyd is all smoke and mirrors. Anybody with any sense of investigation can tell immediately where the drama was instigated.

95% of fans are adamant for a reason. They KNOW Floyd will stop at nothing to duck Pac.

Floyd's whole game, as you are perpetuating, is based on the concept that boxing fans are dumb enough to swallow such subterfuge. And for the most part. You are probably right.

But it is a joke and we both know it.

In fact I would not be surprised if you were a Money Team promoter the way you are talking so boldly about this issue.

Because I know that nobody in their right mind could really swallow such obvious rubbish!

If he wanted to fight, he'd have accepted either deal. Since he didn't, you have to go with what you say people KNOW, after previously saying we'll never know the fine details. People can BELIEVE whatever they wish-the facts are the facts.

Sense of investigation GTFOH, the drama started when the drug test was refused and the cutoff not accepted. Manny only moved off no cutoff because he was caught lying on camera about when he gave blood for the Hatton fight. Yeah real honest.

People's opinions of Floyd drive what they believe. If the situations were reversed and floyd had refused 2 offers, you nor they would be using any "sense of investigation", whatever the **** that is.

yeah, we don't need to discuss anymore.

[12TRIBEsRiSe]

They are different as many already said, but even I as a fan of Mayweather can say he lacks both in many areas. When going by his actions.

as does every human being
