Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather Just Aiming To Retire Unbeaten

[tiliheels]

Oscar is pretty much pooping on his own fighter here, in order to hate on floyd...i guess floyd stepped in to the ring with your prized possession and yourself b/c he wanted to retire undefeated..forgeting pooping on canelo he literally SHI TTED on himself too.
guess floyd told manny i'll sign but u dont and lets blame it on you being a juicer in 2009 so he could stay undefeated...oscar stop talkin floyd u cannot do so objectively..

[tiliheels]

maybe when he was younger he fought fighters out of his comfort level....but come on, he fights a specific style of fighter for a reason.

by specific style u mean the mexicans? let me ask you did u tune into lara vs smith? did u tell everyone not to bother juding styles? judge talent and rankings..not excitement? if u did not blame yourself...the mexicans are wat sale and not only that he's fought black and euporean fighters..yall want floyd to pick lara but yall got lara doing 500k tv ratings..GTFOH

Floyd has fought the best beside Manny that was available and reasonable.

You said it. Key word, reasonable.

I know I said reasonable and Floyd is and has been very reasonable. Was going to fight Manny with every demand that Manny asked for; and Manny walked away from the fight because of the same terms that he is willing to accept today!!! Paul Williams (whom I liked) would have lost Floyd money because he just wasn't popular with the mainstream fans. Floyd is the highest paid boxer for a reason, which may not be popular with a lot of his haters!! As for Margarito, he was a cheating bastard that got caught and was never a threat without being able to cheat his way to victory. Mayweather would have beat the living stick out of him anyway.

Mayweather def has the skills to out box Marg. But I guarantee Tony would have taken Floyd's best shots and kept on coming in swinging.

Would Floyd be able to maintain constantly punching, moving away for 12 rounds against a granite chinned brawler? This is just one question of many that was left unanswered back in 07 08. Floyd has been cheating fans for awhile now, Oscar know this.

Did he look comfortable against Maidana? I didn't think any of those fights were close but did he look as comfortable as we're accustomed to seeing? What about against Cotto? I'm not quite understanding you here.

One thing you can ever take away from Oscar was his willingness to get in the ring with the best. As he said win, lose or draw Oscar fought the best of his day. Salute!

R u questioning DLHs resume? Cause if u r maybe u should leave boxing alone.

Can you read? I clearly said he was brave and had a great resume but I lived through his era. I remember Vernon, Ike, Winky calling him out. I remember him saying he would never fight Lopez. I know he went to 140 and never said a word about Kostya.

[BoxingTrav]

How can he duck a fighter but fight him? Floyd has yet to fight Manny Pacquiao and that has been 7 year already. Oscar fought Quartey you are the definition of reaching, and nobody wanted to see Oscar versus Winky, Kostya or Vernon those fights were not in high demand at all.

So only because Quartey got dropped Oscar fights him lol? well Pacquiao has been knocked out several times, out cold, lost, yet floyd still hasn't shown urgency to fight him and if he does that is 100 times worse than what you are claiming that Oscar did with Quartey because that would mean Floyd really really waited for Pac to slow down and get a few more beatings in to soften him up before takin him.

Floyd has no one else to blame, he left himself open by not making the Pac fight years ago.

You guys claim Floyd duck Cotto, Shane etc.. he fought them did he not. Oscar wanted no parts of Quartey until Lopez dropped him and surprisingly he was made the fight right after that.

Oscar claims Floyd is scared of Manny. He claims Floyd is scared to lose. BUt yet every time Floyd fights he gives the opponent the secret to winning. Has predicted multiple fights will beat him, yet when Mayweather wins he only fights people he can beat.

Nobody wanted to see Forrest v DeLaHoya? Forrest was begging for that fight after he fought Shane twice and was the lineal champ. Oscar took a pass. Winky was beating everyone was calling out DeLa Hoya, only Shane took the chance.

I live through that era. I'm no boxrec revisionist.

[TheRebelSin]

Oscar don't know why the fight haven't been made?

Maybe the same reason why golden boy vs top rank fighters fight haven't been made over a few years. He peace it up with arum now but he wast working with arum for a few years no fight could be made between go,den boy vs top rank but now he has no clue on why this fight can't be made. #***#.

Funny, I can't go a day without hearing someone criticise Mayweather for ducking Margarito, a cheat, but Oscar is praised as someone who is always willing. Are we just going to ignore the fact that Oscar went out on a cherry pick gone wrong?

[tiliheels]

first; name one person that oscar got in the ring with if they didnt surrender to his demands
secondly why wont oscar admit floyd has tried to make the fight under the GBP's banner or why wont he qoute something that tell us that floyd said he is scared to the staff of GBP...
b/c he's a scum..that will say anything to downplay the existence of floyd mayweather out doing him..floyd called him a B itch 72 times in 30 seconds..no way in hell oscar's word means anything to mean unless he's praising floyd or spitting undeniable facts..
Oscar didnt have to worry about retring undeftead when a blown up shane mosley took your belt, i wont coutn the trinny fight, but draw with sweet pea and u surely lost to ike..So STFU
