    He sure did. I often enjoyed his pre- and post-fight speeches as much as the fights themselves.

      It's only the hypocrisy that bothers me. If it wasn't being egged on by the most safety first fighter the sport has ever seen, it would be a non issue.

        I believe in that Angelo Dundee statement, no surprise Floyd himself does.

        Imagine Berto going half an hour straight in there... What do you think would happen if he runs into a decent skilled opponent?

          Anyone's who's been in a gym before, you can't blame too much of what happened on Mayweather.

          The kid wanted to step up when that one guy wanted to spar Ishe Smith. You can find overly-confident boxers in any gym. So they let it happen, but they didn't let them spar, they had an exhibition, a keep going till you give up type of fight, and if its up to a fighter, they'll never give up and only get themselves hurt.

          I don't believe it happens all the time in the gym, but watching it through Showtime just adds too much to it especially when they started throwing down bets.

              You're worried about Floyd's hypocrisy? Dude you should delete your boxing scene account... You're gonna be very disappointed here... And repeatedly too.. His fans defend these moves without any logic in their arguments..

                When reading that quote from Larry Merchant, this quote from Max kellerman came to mind after Ortiz quit against Maidana: "In boxing to be great more is required of you than in any other sport, more is required than is really reasonable and Ortiz just made a decision he may live to regret".

                  Man, they are always complaining!

                  If Floyd went and showcased more of Big Boy Mansion and his cars, they would be complaining. We get inside session into one of the doghouse fighting sessions and what do they do? Complain even more.

                    Honestly, I felt pretty sick watching that sparring. People were getting seriously hurt, and most definitely concussed. Mr. Mayweather himself mocked someone who was seriously hurt, and they were sparring brutal 30 minute rounds until someone quit. I think it may even be illegal, but I know for damn sure it is unethical. No wonder TMT fighters except Floyd lose all the time. Imagine all the concussions Love must have sustained over the years due to the ****** dog house mentality?

                    I do not think that type of sparring makes a fighter better. They are getting insulted from all the morons around the ring, taking punishment for no real reason. Then you have someones mother and brother there trying to avenge a loss, and someone who just sparred brutally is forced to get in the ring and go till exhaustion again?
                    I noticed that when I saw the Love sparring sessions, and I was stunned at all the crap Love was taking from everybody, and he was getting his ass beat, I was shocked it wasn't stopped.

                    I wish I could say I'm surprised that Floyd was personally mocking hurt fighters, he just keeps getting lower and lower, but this is truly disgusting. Floyd is just an all around piece of human garbage.
