The Mayweather handpicking myth is a lie

[ADP02]

If Mayweather was picking easy fights, then answer this question for me. Why did he give immediate rematches to the only two fighters who came close to beating him in Castillo and Madaina? Doesn't sound like a man looking for safe fights when he he's giving rematches to guys who gave him such a tough time.

Pacquaio didn't give immediate rematches to Marquez. Sugar Ray Leonard didn't give Hagler or Hearns immediate rematches. Yet the only two guys who came close to beating Floyd were beaten more soundly immediately after. He could have just taken those wins and moved on, that's what most boxers do.

Castillo:
Floyd had underestimated him and thought it would be an easy fight.
Castillo 2 fight, they were about to do it in LA but Floyd didn't trust it being in LA because he thought that the judges may favor Castillo not Floyd. Floyd wanted the fight in friendly territory ..... VEGAS ..... The champ Castillo got the short end of the stick in the first one ...


Maidana:
Floyd cherry picked Maidana who had lost in the cherry pick contest made up by Floyd. Floyd and company marketed Maidana as the KO artist but with 24 hours to the fight, Floyd told Maidana that he cannot wear his approved gloves.
Maidana 2, Maidana again was NOT allowed to wear his gloves. Furthermore, Floyd cried so much after the first fight that they got him KENNY STOP STOP BAYLESS who had deducted Maidana 2 points in one of his other WW fights. Dave Moretti, who judged their 1st fight also judged the 2nd fight. Who would allow that? A judge that doesn't give Maidana the credit that he deserved in the first fight gets the OK to judge them again??????????

Floyd was basically allowed to hug, hold, elbow, .... all night long but Maidana was the only one that was deducted a point. Even Showtime questioned that point deduction. Just prior to that, Floyd elbowed Maidana twice!!!! No deductions!



Floyd admits that he tries to win the fight before the fight even starts by getting as many of the advantages as possible. "peeleft:



and here are 2 fights where quite a few rounds, there were mostly pitty patty punches or tap punches by Floyd but were apparently scored by judges as good enough to win rounds over the opponent who throw bigger shots! McGregor fight, the same Floyd fans no longer think that pitty patty punches should be counted .....

and ledbedev beat toney and roy jones jr. i guess he has a better resume than floyd right? its just a name! why are people so easily fooled. ledbedev was able to beat those names but wasnt able to beat gassiev. so is gassiev better than them? according to you yes apparently.

JONES and Toney were past their prime and fighting because they had to.
The guys Floyd fought while one can argue they were not all in their prime they were relatively close to it.

[Reloaded]

Floyd has a wonderful resume he fought and beat everyone, its one of the best resumes in boxing history.

[Xi_]

yet he still has the much better resume so what does that make floyd? pac still has all time great wins over prime greats and floyd doesnt. all the crying and whining about people not respecting floyd will never change that. you can hope people forget but even you know the truth

Pacquiao doesnt hold any legit win over a single prime atg.

Wow, where to start?

Hernandez fought his last fight against Floyd.

Manfredy was B-rate at best. Nothing special.

Corrales was straight up and down, his style suited perfectly for Floyd. Nice win, but Diegovwas not elite class.

Mitchell was at the end of his career. Knocked out in all six of his losses. Kosta's leftovers.

Corley had 28 losses over the course of his career. Who didn't beat him?

Gatti was shot, at the end of his career and by Floyd's own admission, C-rate.

He got a gift versus Castillo. Loss #1.

Judah as we now know was nothing special. More of Kosta's leftovers.

Oscar was past his prime and should have been awarded the decision. Gift #2.

Hatton was small and a brawler. Joe Cortez perve Ted him from fighting on the inside. Took Floyd ten rounds to do what Pac did in two.

Mosley was washed up. Floyd ducked him since 130/135.

Cotto was damaged goods and not at his best. Cotto became an improved fighter under Roach.

Pacquiao was past his prime and Floyd even admits he stalled this fight for years so it could marinate, as though he is some Nostrodamus of boxing. Marinate is the code word for ducking.

Guerrero and Ortiz were hype jobs and B-rate.

Baldomir already had nine losses, nothing special.

Canelo was still green. Not the same fighter he is now and took the fight at a catch weight.

Floyd also ducked Margarito, Casamayor, Freitas, Paul Williams, Stevie Johnston, Winky Wright who he called out, Sergio Martinez, Khan, and a rematch with Oscar. Chose Midana 2X instead of Khan who already beat him. Got gift #3 versus Maidana. Chose Berto over Thurman, Garcia, Porter, Brook or rematch with Pac. Never did cross paths with Kosta, Forrest or anyone significant at 154 either.

You post this, yet claim to know so much about boxing? You're a ****ing moron...yeah, you've been watching boxing a loooong time alright...and apparently you've taken more blows to the head than any of the above mentioned. Floyd ducked Mosley? Mosley outright ducked Floyd on hbo LIVE saying he had a toothache...youre a tool...stfu loser.

Hey ass-jockey, Mosley called out Floyd at 135 and he refused to fight him. The tooth story was Mosley asking for a two month extension to have a loose tooth repaired. Floyd refused. Floyd would later dismiss Mosley as a credible opponent because he had four prior losses on his record. Yet it was ok to fight Baldomir with nine losses and Gatti with six losses because they were easy wins. Learn some history before posting dumb shyt.

[Dyl-G]

He ducked margarito, Williams and pac obviously for 5 years easily. All his wins post coralles were fighters that were picked at the right time in their careers to favor mayweather to win aka cherrypicking

I'm sorry...i was under the impression he fought and beat Mosley, arguably after one of Mosley best performances AND it wasntf even at Mayweather's best weight class.

Did Mosley say "yeah, I'd like that fight"? When he was asked...no. He didn't...he talked about marga******o....That's not what old man merchant asked him though, was it? Just stfu anus taster.

Fudgepacquiao didn't want testing and ariza had said it was ARUM that held the fight up...those magic shakes doe

Bottom line many of the so call champions Floyd beat had no business being champions and if you can't see that you are a sel out Larry who is a groupie that juggle mays nuts
