I don't know what you want me to say here. You're taking all of the facts that have been presented, putting them together, and coming out with what you want to see. Yes, the rumor was that he was her pimp. Everyone has said that. He met her and moved into a whore house with her! He reportedly claimed to not have known she was a **********, yet he moved into a whore house with her????
Jack Dempsey did state that she tripped over a door frame and dislocated her jaw. Then she left him and never came back and he didn't know why. That doesn't sound fishy to you?

That he believes Mayweather was shrewd at selecting opponents doesn't bother me at all. Shouldn't he have been shrewd at selecting opponents? I don't get the point. As for saying he ducked this or that fighter, the information doesn't show it. I've posted to you about that before. All I'm saying is if anyone wants to discuss it, prove that the facts are wrong or taken in the wrong context or misconstrued. To me, it seems that the only accusation that comes close to holding up weight is the Winky Wright situation, and that's Bob Arum doing his normal bs and Winky Wright being a bigger fighter anyway, so this one is rarely even mentioned.

There was an article posted just today with Mayweather praising Loma!!!
So Lomachenko, tell your promoter to pay you. I like you. I like his movement, his speed. I respect him as a fighter.
At the end of the day, I got nothing against Lomachenko.
At the end of the day, I got nothing against Lomachenko.
But it seems that for some posters, even this will receive some hate.

And again, I don't mind what Acevedo says about Floyd. I didn't post any quotations from him and if he says Floyd cherrypicked that's fine. The facts are out there and you know I've already shown them to you, so what's the point? Acevedo is entitled to his own opinion.
He was critical of Mayweather from what I can see, particularly the Pac fight and the Berto fight. He also wondered if Boxing would survive without Floyd.
Whether or not Mayweather stays on the sidelines remains to be seen. If he keeps his word and retires permanently, however, his absence is certain to have an effect on the US fight racket. Will the sweet science in America turn into some sort of apocalyptic wasteland – like Pompeii buried under ashes – without Mayweather? Or will boxing, tenacious as ever, rebound from the loss of its biggest star?

He was 37 years old when he finally lost to Williard (mind you, this is a guy who has at least twice fought 2 opponents on the same day). He was holding the title hostage and there was a wild desire to get the title back from him and to "the whites." If you want to see a great documentary, watch "Unforgivable Blackness." It's really a good watch! If you do check it out, let me know what you think.
