It's pure anger. Thats what is so sad.
Dude has been doing this for almost 10 years. he sits behind the computer, rages that Floyd and Bhop are successful, gets mad , and then posts the wildest shit he can think of just to make himself feel better.
Now he is being razzed a bit, deservedly, and he gets even angrier and starts making even crazier threads then he did 10 years ago.
The site needs to hire Oprah or Dr. Phil as a mod FFS!Comment

The whole 100-0 thing is ridiculous but let's look at Khan's rise and what May would have done in his place.
Khan got his first loss in his 19th pro fight, fighting a tall, rangy lightweight with serious power, less than 3 months after his previous bout.
Mayweather in his 19th fight fought Angel Manfredy, a guy with 2 previous losses, including a KO loss.
Khan, just 2 fights and a year into his comeback fought one of the best light welters around, Mayweather would not fight another world title holder for almost 3 years.
Khan, after being robbed against Peterson, and with the rematch abandoned due to Peterson cheating, instead of fighting some lower tier light welter (May would have done that) faced one of the champs of the division in Garcia.Comment

Shane Mosley: “Canelo is Acting Like Floyd Mayweather By Cherry Picking and Ducking F
FIGHT HUB: Now Shane as You know, Canelo has taken a lot of Criticism for vacating the WBC the title. You tweeted, “Canelo vacated his title instead of fighting GGG, Wow! Great fighters step up when challenges like these are made, very disappointing”
SHANE: Yeah, Yeah, I think great fighters do step up when there are fights like that, especially when they are winnable fights. Canelo has been around the game a long time, his been training since he was a kid, and I actually have Canelo a little bit ahead if he can take GGG’s shots. So, I’m not sure how much longer it’s going to take to FOR HIM TO TAKE A BETTER SHOT, but he takes good shots anyway.
He (canelo) has great boxing ability, he moves around well in the ring, great defense er….great team of coaches. I think he’s ready, I can look at him and see he’s ready, the world can see he’s ready. They both are in their primes where they are ready to fight each other. I don’t know why this fight is not happening, the only reason I can think of is that maybe Golden Boy and the company is saying that “Hold your horses, don’t fight yet, wait a minute ….don’t let them rush you, we’re going to fight a Lemieux of someone else at 160, get a fight in, get another fighter at 160….then fight GGG.” But like I said in my Tweet, you have Tommy Hearns, Roberto Duran, going from lightweight to middleweight (and he’s shorter than me), Sugar Ray Leonard jumped up as well, so we have all these guys jumping up in weight and winning. Myself included (light weight K/O-ing everybody to 154 to fight Oscar.) |
I just don’t get it , maybe it’s a different era, the Mayweather era where they want to fight the light guys first and then build themselves up and then wait till the guy gets too old or is no longer interested then they can win. But the fight fans want to see when they are their best when they can win.Comment

If he REALLY said that then i think he needs a brainscan and a nice retirement party.British star Amir Khan (31-3, 19KOs) has brushed off reports on why Floyd Mayweather Jr. rejected him for a possible fight on September 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Mayweather's his team members have stated in interviews that Khan 'talked too much' and that cost him the opportunity. The frontrunner right now is Andre Berto, who shares the same trainer as Khan in Virgil Hunter. Khan is going to fight in the fall.
Khan says nobody from the Mayweather camp or his adviser Al Haymon (who also works with Mayweather) contacted him with any warning to stop talking in the press.
“That is false; no one from Mayweather’s team got in touch with me,” Khan said to The National. “He can use whatever excuses he likes, but the bottom line is Floyd is scared. He knows I’m fast and can give him his first loss. Amir Khan brings more money, more fans, more exposure on the table.
“I mean, my fight against Chris Algieri got the highest-ever ratings in 10 years of a free-to-air boxing bout in the US. Everybody is criticising him for not picking me; the likes of Mike Tyson, ‘Sugar’ Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler. He’s been cherry-picking all his career.”
Khan uses unbeaten IBF 140-pound champion Cesar Cuenca, who has an identical 48-0 record as Mayweather, as an example to crack Floyd record.
“Who is Cuenca? I don’t know who he is; never heard of him. And this proves exactly my point on Mayweather: lots of unknown fighters are undefeated. Records mean nothing in today’s world, what matters is the legitimacy of the opponents you fight," Khan said.
“If I wanted, I could’ve been 100-0 right now, I could’ve cherry-picked all the easy fights and remained undefeated. It means nothing in the world of boxing.”Comment
