Floyd Mayweather Inteview with Jim Gray

[SkillspayBills]

reading some of the comments i just realized that floyd was salty as hell (and us floyd fans admittedly) that pacquiao was named fighter of the decade . Now Floyd did one better by winning the fighter of the era.......these two guys man i tell ya...there have been some great fighters i have been privileged to watch in my life time.

How old are you? With the advent of youtube and video downloads we don't have to speculate about greats. We get to watch all of their fights. This generation, the next and hopefully the one after.

im talking live my friend. My generation. It hasnt produced as many "legends" i dont think as past eras. But the talent that has been added to the great history of boxing cannot be denied. From tyson to roy jones to mayweather with the added benefit of watching fighters from the past online and actually being able to compare is exciting to me. Sorry didnt mean to sound giddy like a child, but boxing does that for me. Im 28 by the way

TBE outclasses the kid, in and out of the ring.

They had told USADA 3 weeks before and was using pain killers. In that same prefight report given to the commissions, it did state those same pain killers. So in part, it was the commissions fault for not coming back to check up at the very least why was Manny using them pain killers and if he needed to use them for the fight. You know that they are the commissions and should know better. It was a check box that was incorrectly checked. Simple mistake that can be made.

Funny that you believe everything said from Floyd's side. Who was interviewed in Floyd's case? Commissions? Doctors? Did you see the MRI? Was there any surgery? If not, how bad could it really have been? Maybe just an excuse, right?

In Floyd's case, there was less or no proof ..... so in that sense, no comparison. No surgery, so again, no comparison..

Floyd underwent surgery right after the first fight with Castillo, we haven't seen any MRI from Pacquiao either, just a pic of him after the surgery.

Go watch Floyd vs Castillo and you'll see that right after the first round Floyd started to complain in his corner about his left shoulder, Pacquiao didn't say a word about his shoulder.

I quote this from the fight: After round one Larry Merchant pointed out, "Mayweather made a comment in the corner about his left shoulder. We'll see if something's wrong with it, he seems to be rotating it, trying to keep it loose". George Foreman noted likewise, adding "'Massage my left shoulder', he (Mayweather) said, that's not a good sign". So even the commentators clearly saw and heard that something was wrong, Pacquiao on the other hand didn't show or say anything about an injury till the press conference.

I don't know why you are always bringing up USADA knowing about the injury, USADA and the NSAC are independent en******, they only get in touch if a fighter fails a test, according to Pacquiao's camp they checked with USADA if the pain killer is allowed to be used in training camp and USADA said it's fine, but they never said anything about using it on fight night, if you wanna use it on fight night u have to let the commission know and you have to disclose evidence, this has to be done long enough before the fight so that they can check the documents and make a decision. They make the fighters fill out the questionnaire so that in case they forgot to say anything, they still have a chance to do that and Pacquiao said he was fine.

Your theory doesn't make any practical sense.

Brutal factual destruction of one of the very worst and scummy Manny ffans on NSB. Kudos to you for this.

That's the bottom line, there is no chance Pacquiao's shoulder was bothering him at all and he and his corner didn't mention it once to each other during the fight. The idea that a fighter would have a preexisting injury and his corner not ask him one time during the fight how it felt is preposterous. The idea that he reinjured the shoulder in round 3 or 4 and said nothing to his corner about it is equally ridiculous. And he mentions nothing in the ring right after the fight? Come on people. His shoulder was fine for the fight. He threw 200+ punches with his right and never once looked like it bothered him, not once.

At the very worst he has has some lingering soreness in the shoulder.

People who believe his shoulder was an issue at all would also believe it if Pacquiao's team said he fought with two severely broken legs that require amputation after the fight. Actually, his right leg was amputated just before the fight, he fought on a brand new prosthetic leg, really, honest. There simply was no sign of any type of injury, none.

There's nothing to scan. You brought up Calzaghe. That's enough.

Oh, you messed up the quotes btw. That isn't what I said.

Well the fact, that Floyd undefeated record for him being great was brought up when he has fought a lot of dog*****, is the comparison. Stating Marquez as a good win because of his name is just fan boy perspective. Jumped up two weight classes, had stomach rolls, cheated on the scales. He was nothing more than a pawn to make Floys look great on his comeback.

Yeh, soz, i was answering off my phone.

This "fighter of his era" is a self proclaimed label, its all subjective. He may have beaten Pac, but Manny has the fighter of the decade accolade (2000-10), Floyd doesn't. They ended up fighting 5 years later. Floyd not going to win the fighter of this decade.

Bring up all these records you can just be apply the same to Wlad. Hes probably going to beat Joe Louis records, take Wilders and Fury undefeated record, if they fight him and become undisputed champion. You could pick holes in his era/resume, but the exact same thing can be done for Floyd. And thats the point, records are not all they are cracked up to be!!!

Your tears have sufficed

Cry about what? Do you just run to Floyds aid if any little negative thing is posted about him?
