Why I dont like the Mayweather vs Spinks fight

[amagnin]

Also if he stays at 154 in Feb. as well, who will he fight Rivera?

Rivera, Ouma (if he stays), Karmazin, Quartey, Forrest. There are other fights to be made at 154...just not ones I am all too excited about.

[cortdawg25]

If he fought any of those guys (besides Rivera), then he might as well fight Margo at 154. Remember he looking for legacy and $$$, he cant cont. to fight tune ups (which is unfair)for his fights even though he moving up in weight for the 1st time. People will really start to bash him.

I agree that is why I don't like this fight against Spinks. It is boring and it provides neither money nor legacy. He should have fought for a title at 147 in November (either Baldomir or Margarito I don't care) and then moved to 154 for is February fight. Then I would have no real problem with him fighting Spinks as it would be a good way to get his feet wet at 154. Then he would fight DLH in May and then whatever happens happens. This just seems like an unintelligent move that will be met with harsh criticism from fans and the media

Start? LOL. His 140 and 147 accomplishments don't add up to much. What he did at 130/135 is ancient history.

Spinks got KO'd by Judah and a very questionable decision against Karmazin. He's got no power, no chin, and runs all night long. This is the best out there for PBF? How so - most money, best championship belt, top P4P / hall of fame opponent, unify a division, ...?

When's the "P4P #1 yeah baby" PBF going to step it up and excite the fans? It's no wonder he's begging for DLH crumbs. The guy is a great fighter, but bores all but the diehard fans.

PBF should be bigger than DLH already and DLH should be begging PBF for a fight. I wonder why it's not that way?

lets not move too fast, it would do something for his legacy. It would make him a 5 time champ in 5 different weight classes, and he would be the first to do it the quickest. Thats a lot of legacy and history, he'll be talked about for years if he pulls that off. But I think he should of have become the undisputed champ at 147 1st to force hatton and Cotto to fight him, and eventually beat up Margo. But who knows maybe he is just trying to give himself more leverage when and if he fights delahoya. he'll be able to negotiate better because it will be for unification and also more enticing for Delahoya. But I dont think Delahoya is gonna do it, I think he RETIRED.

A, the emphasis was on really, u got a point with Zab already defeating by KO, but that was at 147. And despite all that Spinks is #1 Ring ranked Jr Middleweight right now. Its not another paper title like the one at 147 which people try and clown him for. How can he step it up, he P4P #1, there is no one better. The top ten P4P fighters around his weight class should please the fans and fight him (Winky, Hatton). delahoya is so great because he is agood fighter and liked, but more importantly the Mexicans are die hard fans and they ride for each other, support each other. floyd doesnt really have that support, he's liked just as much as he is hated. But more haters are starting to watch his fights so his popularity is only getting bigger and whether u like it or not, he is the new face of boxing.

[rudy]

Floyd is a fraud just like Roy Jones the moment he gets whacked he will never come back the same fighter.

He has ducked the following fighters in his prime, Joel Casamayor (too technical), Frietas, Ricky Hatton, Kostas Tszyu, Winky Wright

that is fact

5 time title holder.................................

[neils7147933]

Have they announced a venue for this one? It would sell out the Savvis Center if PBF is willing to come to St. Louis...

[charlie31]

how many fighter do that today , he dominated 130

LOL..Hatton just did it at 140...
