Comments Thread For: Mayweather: They’ll Criticize Me No Matter Who I Face

[TooEasy]

grow a set junior and stop with the whoa wiz me, victim role. You're a punk azz-arrogant, self absorbed, straight out of grand rapids, illiterate who has strategically avoided the greatest risk in boxing to manufacture and market a "0". That's your problem. I doubt very seriously if you challenged yourself to fight ggg, anyone would complain but for your dad. You cry to anyone who would listen, "pacquiao fought algieri, why can't i fight berto"? Since when have you ever wanted to measure yourself alongside pacquiao or anyone else? (and let's remind u pac got ripped for fighting algieri too; but you wouldn't fight manny at the time, neither would marquez). Who is it that won't fight you, so you choose berto???? Ggg, bradley, thurman, porter, khan are all more deserving than berto and all have voiced their interest in such a fight. Get tired of you and your car salesman ellerbe always playing the victim card. If you want to consider yourself best ever, you have to be willing to take on the biggest risk; you've never done that. You're about the money.

money over everything

He's right.

And even if he hasn't fought the best at their best, name a current active fighter with a better resume.

they can't.

Not to mention before Berto it's been almost 2 decades he has not face someone ranked in the top 10 in his Divison or p4p, let alone the champs and no1 contenders. Guys nowadays fight unranked opponents everyday and have 10+ defenses with on 1-2 guys inside the top 10.

Truth. When certain people are saying Mayweather's resume is a 7/10, that means you think 99.99% of elite boxers got a 4/10 or less resume. You can't **** on Mayweather without ****ting on almost all elite level boxers. And if thats the case why are you even watching the sport since you have such a low opinion of so many of its athletes.

He's right. Ellerbe said it perfect a couple of days ago they won't be happy unless he challenges Vladimir Klitchko.

How do you fight for 19 yrs and not have a memorable fight against a guy in his prime ? Maybe that's the reason he gets criticized ,or maybe the fact he disrespected an atg in Ali maybe that's the reason ..

Using baseball in comparison with how Floyd fights. He's not a homerun hitter, he is a no hitter pitcher. He makes fools look like amateur. I've never seen a fighter make his opponent look like a 5 year old until Floyd Mayweather. Floyd made Gatti look like an adult beating up a 5 year old kid. And they still had an excuse that Gatti was washed up. They will never credit Floyd's skill. Skill wise he is the best. Knows when to throw, duck, clinch, go to the body, counter, slip punches, everything you can name of, good footwork.......Not all fighters are complete. He is as complete a fighter as you can have or build if you can.

That is all well and good but this is what he means by he will always be criticized because the same standard isn't applied to other fighters. Why isn't this criticism said about Manny fighting Oscar at 147, ten years since he has made that weight, or Cotto who was forced to fight at 145 which is lower than the welterweight class. I agree with Floyd, but I like Manny as a fighter as well. I guess I am a true boxing fan because most of you guys hate either one. He can do whatever he wants with HIS money. Why do you people care about other people's personal business, they need to mind they own. My point is just be fair across the board. Manny is the king of catchweights. Floyd beat Cotto at 154, but they said Cotto was washed up when Floyd beat him, now all of a sudden Cotto is back and in the best shape! LOL

He's criticized with Pacquiao because the fight happened 5 years late.

He's criticized with Canelo because of the 152 catch weight.

He's criticized with Maidana because of the, "running" and "hugging". Let's be real though, Kenny Bayless did a **** job that second fight in regards to the clinching. Still, it's just an excuse to hate on him because he's been fighting this way for years now. The last reason below is my opinion on why he's hated on a lot.

He's criticized because he's undefeated and not a, "people's champ" kind of guy. People like to see the, "good guy" come out on top. Mayweather has a record of domestic violence, and showboats his money consistently. Not exactly people's vision of the way a hero acts.



I don't know what criticism he received for Cotto/Mosley/Hatton, though. Probably the Hatton fight for acting like a diva with the whole landing before Hatton does thing.

[Bigg Rigg]

That's what makes him feel better about taking on the easiest guy available. Berto is washed up already. His last two fights showed that all the excitement was beaten outta him by Mexicans. This is a bs fight. Thurman would have been better. And even seeing Khan get the fight and then getting knocked out would have been better than ****ing Andre Berto.

Don't know where you've been but there's been tons of criticism over Manny with those fights. Difference is most came to the agreement that even with the weight issues, Manny was taking the greater risk climbing weight like that.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

There is not one fighter out right now that would be accepted. Thats why I dont bother to defend his opponents anymore.

He can fight whoever he damn well pleases.
