I think his carefully managed career really gave a false impression. A guy that arguably lost to Castillo and Maidana can't be as good as what some would have you believe Mayweather is. He did well to avoid prime, hungry atg's.
Wins like Mosley, Marquez mean next to nothing under the circumstances Mayweather won them. Hell, look at the Hatton fight, as a fight to compare to look at the Kovalev Ward fight and tell me that wouldn't have been a different fight if the ref constantly broke them up after Ward worked to get inside, he'd have never scored most of his points and Kovalev would have been fresher, aswell as on the outside to get tagged more. These are the circumstances Mayweather wins under, and no the Maidana rematch wasn't convincing, the the scores were pretty much the same except this time the difference was the uncalled for point deduction. That fight would also have been very different without Mayweather's tampering with the refereeing. The guy is as much a fraud as they come and I really don't like using that word.
He has admitted to paying Alex Ariza to not work with Garcia's fighters for the rematch with Maidana. Effectively sabotaging a camp. Is this considered cool? When I'm watching boxing I want to see who can win at their best, I don't want a guy showing up outta shape because a fighter took his S&C from him. Like I said, fraud.
