Mayweather gets a pass

[MulaKO]

Also mula this fight was a circus and the only reason it wasnt an exhibition was money. I dont see Chavez getting crucified for coming in to his exhibition with race out of shape etc . What's the real slap in the face to the fans and the sport is the fact this was taken seriously and we had to pay 100 dollars for it . But again I see what you are saying and if it wasnt a side show I would agree whole heartingly

Side show or not , it’s still in the record books

[MulaKO]

The difference is the W!

If you show up half ass and lose and then say "its cause of this and that" of course it leaves a sour taste in people minds cause YOU MAKING EXCUSES and being a POOR SPORT and NOT TAKING YOUR LOST LIKE A MAN.

But if you win, THEIRS NONE OF THAT!

That’s cool
I respect your opinion just my point was not about win or lose
But I do get your point and why people would brush it under the carpet

[MulaKO]

It's not an excuse. Just cause you don't like it doesn't change reality. He won, point blank period. You're also comparing apples to oranges in Mayweather facing a guy who never had a professional boxing match to that of Ruiz who is a good boxer with a career in the sport

I respect your opinion
Just see it in a different way

He knew he only needed to be conditioned and he knew there was no need for a brutal training camp at his age for a fight it was 99.9% likely he will win

To all boxing fans
Please explain why does Floyd get a pass ?
He just came out saying he did not train for his fight with Conor
Isn’t that a slap in the face to his fans ?
What about those fans who ponied up big bucks to go see a boxing match , two hard training individuals punching each other for victory ?
If Floyd doesn’t take the sport seriously how can we take him seriously ?
If it were any other boxer , who stated that they did not train for a competitive ( no pun intended ) fight , this board would be lit up , with fans wanting his fughin head
So why not Floyd’s head
It wasn’t ok when Andy Ruiz didn’t train , so why is it ok when Floyd doesn’t train ?

You're right we cant take Floyd seriously anymore. Let's boycott all of his fights from now on...

what kind of pointless whining ass thread is this?? Ive seen a lot of ****** threads on here but damn this one is just meaningless

I feel ya . And if floyd showed up out of shape for even a shot berto I would have been choked . I just couldnt take the mcgregor fight seriously so I may be bias . Imagine he lost tho ?? And then said he didnt train ??he would have been crucified 100. Fighters dont generally get called out for being out of shape when they win, i think there are def some examples out there , but could u name one off the top of your head ?? I cant .

It was an event moreso than a fight...but he did train...I think he, like a lot of us, were just surprised by how many issues Conor actually posed to him in the boxing ring...he wasn't mentally prepared moreso than physically.

No , I can’t but then again how many fighters would shoot themselves in the foot
