Comments Thread For: Mayweather on Comeback: Health More Important To Me

[BennyST]

Now he made 300 Million eh? It started out as 140 million after sponsorship etc. How long before they just say "Half a Billion?" Next thing you know they'll start calling the "win" over Pacquiao a "dominating performance" and a "shut out" or hell maybe even a "stoppage win." How they love to re-write history

Unbelievable. The hypocrisy of a rabid Pac fan saying this is beyond absurd. The only thing anyone hears these days is you whining **** *****ing about the fact that in slow motion Pac won and that it's really a NC because Floyd's a cheat, and the NSAC are corrupt and Arum took Pac for a ride and the judges were in on a scam with Floyd and Pac fought with a completely fractured, dislocated, snapped shoulder that was hanging limp from its socket and yet he still won.

All people hear is you little girls spending all day, every day, for 6 months now whining and moaning about how Pac actually won that fight and coming up with more excuses than anyone else in history for how he did win it.

What was that about rewriting history?

[Slip Stream]

Fans should not be surprised if Floyd never returns to the ring, and the last best desperate hope to beat him (Pacquiao) failed and that's the end of it. Floyd is right, health is very important and he realizes he is no longer as elusive as he once was, and to continue to hang around hoping your talent will keep you safe is foolhardy....

So Ali hugs the f.uck outta Foreman until he's exhausted. Then he gets him bent over on the ropes and clocks him with one of the most blatant rabbit punches in the history of boxing and KOs him. And that's cool. But Floyd ties up Pac a couple times in the early rounds to defuse a bomb. And really doesn't even clinch for the rest of the fight, and its a crock. Come on homie. Be better than that.

Boy oh boy...

The least you could do is watch the fight before talking **** about it.

Anyway, people whining about clinching for this fight are ****ing idiots. There was hardly any it. Just moaning and clinging to anything to discredit it.

So he was exhausted because he hugged him lmao ydsab if you think he exhausted him because he hugged him ,he made him punch himself out not because of hugging !

Defuses a bomb Floyd was supposed to knock this little guy out why the need to hug him when he was soooo much better than Manny?

Actually, the rope-a-dope is one of the biggest myths in boxing, if not sports history. Ali basically sat on the ropes, and outclassed Foreman. He landed clean shots all night. And Foreman basically missed everything. But, clinching was a huge part of what Ali did that night. And it doesn't seem to bother anyone.

As for Floyd-Manny. Hate to inform you. But, outside of Ret@rdville, aka IHateFloydville, winning 8, 9, 10rds against a guy means you're "sooooooo much better than him." I know it may come as a surprise. But, everyone doesn't have KO power. A lotta great fighters don't have KO power. And as a welterweight or higher, Floyd only has one notable KO. So why would he be expected to KO the best fighter he's ever fought?

I've watched Ali-Foreman numerous times. There were a ridiculous amount of clinches, mostly initiated by Ali. When Ali hit Foreman with the first right hand of the final barrage. Foreman leaned over the top rope and Ali blatantly clocked him in the back of the head, which IMO is what stunned George. And in between all of that. Ali exibited excellent defense, counter punching, and getting off first. Mostly off the ropes.

Bro, I think if Mayweather acts like a dumbass with his money, like how Holyfield acted, then Mayweather 100% comes back. He'll try to put a spin on it that his finances are fine, that he misses the sport, the limelight, but everyone will know the truth. It's happened time and time again to athletes across all sports. They just don't know how to manage their money and they think the good times will continue to roll even after retirement. They can't change that lifestyle.

You'll get no argument from me that athletes are ******ed when it comes with money. I think Mayweather gots Haymon on his side doe & that will be the difference for him. Haymon seemed to help Paul Williams get setup well before his accident so he doesn't really gotta work anymore. Williams is a more humble guy who doesn't seem the type to light money on fire quite like Floyd does, but Floyd has made an insane amount of money with his 6 fight Showtime deal that he'll really need to go on some Brewsters Millions level spending spree to blow I think. I'm sure he's brought into real estate & investments & is more diversified with his money than he lets on. Its not all $2M cars, $100k bets & strip clubs.

[ShoulderRoll]

Haymon likely advises him but if I was Floyd I'd ask Warren Buffet for guidance on how to invest.

There's no reason why he should ever end up broke.

You need to get a grip on reality dude. Being a fan of Floyd doesn't mean you should just watch fights blindly and biased. The ONLY thing Floyd did better than Manny in that fight was defense. If it had been a judo or karate match I could see a case for Floyd getting a draw. Just because you're a fan though doesnt mean you have to be so close minded and ridiculous. Admit the truth dude, you'll feel so much better than harboring this dark secret the rest of your life. the secret that you know Floyd lost but you're claiming he won because of other reasons.

Call it a myth what ever he allowed Foreman to punch himself out ..He knew he had heavy arms he talked about in his pre fight build ups .

The fight was not as lopsided as his IloveeverythingFloydDoesArmy leads you to believe that fight was a win for Mayweather but he didn't dominate him like you make it sound ..Unless you counted his clinches as clean shots ..

Ali beat the **** outta Foreman. The myth is that Foreman pretty much beat himself.

As for Floyd-Manny. I don't think Floyd dominated Manny. But I think he beat him soundly. I do think Floyd "schooling" Manny is a bit of a stretch. But that happens in high profile match-ups. If that's two unknown fighters, the scoring may be closer. But we KNOW what Floyd likes to do. And we KNOW what Manny likes to do. And more time than not, Floyd got done what he wanted moreso than Manny.
