Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Oscar Was a Top Fighter, I'm The Top Athlete

ODH wasn't at 154 when Floyd began calling him out. If this is you're line of thinking, why do you suggest Floyd fight Sergio and GGG? Your posting history shows you equate not responding to being called out as ducking. why the change?

Floyd said because of his hands being hurt. IMO it was a little bit of that but moreso to grow his brand by taking advantage of his new found celebrity status garnered from his performance on the 24/7.

WTF are you talking about? De la Hoya was fighting at 154 lbs since 2001. He fought Javier Castillejo in june 2001, while floyd was fighting at 130 lbs in a title fight against carlos hernandez. Why would de la hoya, a 154 lbs fighter, want to fight a super featherweight? Wow you are just plain ****ing dumb.

Separate the best from the greatest.

To Floyd fans, I’m wondering if you can give us 3 statements from Floyd telling us the truth.

I don’t know but all I hear from Floyd are either lies or plain bullshit.

Prime Oscar would beat a prime Floyd doe

Floyd had been calling ODH out for a long time. Other than to test himself against the fighter most people had as the 2nd best in the world, I can't think of another reason besides money. At that point Floyd was low reward , high risk, which is why ODH didn't fight him. Please note this is the same ODH that found a way to fight Manny at 147 when Manny was at LW and ODH had been at MW.

I answered your question about why he retired.

so please, why the change in your position on not fighting someone that calls you out?

This is just a strange thing for Mayweather to say. Here's the definition of the word, according to Miriam-Webster: ath·lete noun : a person who is trained in or good at sports, games, or exercises that require physical skill and strength.

Oscar was a top athlete during his time. Floyd is a top athlete now. He's the highest paid athlete, but does that make him the top athlete? It depends on the agreed upon criteria for such. It's really quite sad that Floyd feels the need to toot his own horn. Maybe if they held weekly parades in his honor, he would feel more secure.

Wow level 100 ******ity right here. De la hoya fought pacquiao at a catchweight, at the end of his career and was de la hoyas very last fight. That was in 2008. In 2001, de la hoya just moved up to 154 lbs while mayweather was fighting for a title at 130 lbs, superfeatherweight.

And where have you answered my question? And dont say those half ass responses you have given before when you answered my question with a question or just plain divert it.

In 2008, ODH had been at MW manny fought his previous fight at 135, they fought at 147. Why couldn't ODH fight Floyd at 147 in 2001? He was at 154 while Floyd was at 130-so isn't 147 a possibility? High risk, no reward. that is why he didn't.

Now are you going to answer my questions or not?

i hold tennis players in higher regard than floyd.

they dont get to pick their opponents and sabotage their playing equipment the way floyd does.
