Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Don't Want To End Up Like My Uncle Roger

[theface07]

Manny should listen up here. What he is doing is foolish IMO.

You may be right but Manny is still relevant and beating decent opposition. Even though it was a slightly faded Thurman, Floyd would never be able to beat a top 5 opponent at this point. He hasn't fought a real boxing match in years. That phony McMuffin farce doesn't count.
Manny does need to be careful though. He can still fight but at his age, he could drop off severely at any moment.

Because in all reality he was as real person while youre a heckler in a forum hiding behind a bogus name, why do you find a need to attack their personal lives .

Real stand up people dont roll the way you do, so much of who you are comes through your posts, the reflection of you is of a nobody mouthing off on somebody that made something of themselves.

You should stick to the boxing .

Really, because I've seen you go in on fighters who you don't like, you should practice what you preach. This is a boxing forum, we are free to discuss what we want, if you don't like it, move on.

Quit generalizing and throwing out blanket statements. Name the fighters Floyd ducked or didn’t fight in their “prime”?

There are dozens if not hundreds of threads on the subject. Just to ease your curiosity, the only elite level names he fought were never at their best. Oscar, Pac, Cotto, Mosley. He "retired" so he wouldn't have to find Oscar again, a fight he received a gift in the first place. He himself admits he "marinated" the Pacquiao fight for five years and deserves credit for being smart. Cotto came off two brutal beatdowns from Margo and Pac, Mosley was calling him out since 135, Floyd didn't want it. He avoided several other dangerous fights too. But I'm sure you heard all of this already.

Floyd has said the same thing. He’s stated multiple times he tried to help Roger with his diabetes but he wouldn’t listen. Still drank alcohol and ate things that you shouldn’t eat with that disease. He said he even hired him a personal chef but Roger blew him off. His own nephew said the same things so it’s not exactly breaking news. It’s also no secret in Vegas where Roger would spend his time. Watch any interview with Roger and any diagnosis of drug addiction and it’s clear as day.
Roger isn’t known as some great trainer. Floyd pretty much trained himself and the other fighters Roger worked with never did much. After Roger deterioration health wise and Floyd Sr. took over it was business as usual. We all have tape of Rogers “amazing” advice to Floyd between rounds and the 24/7 footage of Roger holding the sparring gloves and not much else. Floyd always said he never watched film and adjusted to the opponent during the fight himself. Roger was mostly on the payroll because Floyd had beef with his Dad for so long.

Like u said just straight bull**** inuendo from a true hater. Were u in Vegas... Were u in his camps watching the trading sessions
All the comments you've made were of your opinion. How about appreciate the man for his true accomplishments and stop spreading BULL**** OPINIONS AND HEARSAY. Have a good day my friend and let's talk real boxing instead of fooking gossip

[travestyny]

please post something to back this up...just 1 story please

Wow it always has to be "that guy"

No, he can’t. Their racism is so ingrained that it’s subconscious/second nature. He casually disrespects a former fighter’s memory by pushing some unsubstantiated accusation just for the sake of doing it......yet has the nerve to accuse someone else of “race baiting”.

Quit hating and do something productive with your life.

So in 50 fights you pick an exhibition fight in Japan and a cross over fight with an MMA fighter as cherry picked fights? Leaving out 48 fights

Not bad.

si quieres que te respeten no deberias hablar mierda de alguien que ha fallecido recientemente

Can you prove one tenth of the BS you write, the man was inside boxing and his opinion was Manny was using PEDS, its his opinion you have no clue on ALL his reasons for believing that.

Looks like the sheet is off the ghost again, travestyny.

He's an automaton fueled with hate. It clouds any shred of intelligence he claims to have and forces him to literally pull shlt from his ass and claim it to be true just to fit his own agendas, and he doesn't even care that he falsely attacks these fighters' legacies. The dude was already busted for shopping around forgeries in the history section because he can't handle the simple truth that Jack Dempsey ducked Harry Wills. He also made up some wild ass conspiracy theory about how Joe Jeannette's Manager set up Joe Jeannette to NOT fight for the heavyweight title to perpetuate a lie about Jack Johnson.

Was that all about race...? I can't say, but it certainly looks su****ious doesn't it?

The thing that gets me is that he says OUTLANDISH things just based off pure emotion. Once that hate bubbles over, he pulls out some shlt like this:

Can't wait until November when we look back on how few deaths were cause by Corona. Probably in the hundreds rather than thousands. Trump can then point to that success as compared to ***** and his 12,000 plus deaths during the H1N1 pandemic. The one he waited 7 months before declaring state of emergency. The one the media didn't seem to be in a panic over, or the House or Senate. Yet another undermining tactic that will end up helping Trump in 2020 when numbers are compared.

Now you see the kind of poster you're dealing with. I imagine his fanaticism for Dempsey, Pacquiao, and Trump makes him behave the way he does. I'd like to think he's simply the "man crush" kind of pathetic rather than the racist kind of pathetic, but who the fvvck knows. He might be both.

[Marchegiano]

Stay retired champ, got nothing to prove anymore.

Mayweather beat the game. Undefeated healthy boxing billionaire. That's unheard of.

I know about those fighters BUT I wanted you to name them so here goes facts;

Oscar: Oscar was arguably in his prime circa 2000/2002 and was fighting at 147.
Your logic tells us that Floyd who wasn’t a household name nor a PPV Star, should have moved up 3 weight classes to fight Oscar?? Floyd was fighting at 130 then.

Mosley: Same exact thing with Oscar. He and Oscar fought in 2000 at 247. Floyd was fighting at 130.

PAC: Using your own logic, why didn’t PAC move to 140 in 2005 to fight Floyd who had also just moved up to destroy Gatti?
Why didn’t PAC move to 147 in 2006 or 2007 when Floyd was beating Zab, Cotto and Oscar?
Clearly he was just waiting for Floyd to get old before he moved up.
Do you see how retärded that sounds?
Floyd is older than PAC and 4 years younger than Oscar but somehow those guys are not in their prime but Floyd is? Again, an illogical thinking
Lastly, that prime PAC that you all race about got KO’d by Marquez in 2012.
He also beat Cotto, Oscar and Margarito using catchweight to weaken them. Freddy Roach himself is on record saying he wanted to give PAC every advantage possible.

Cotto: This is the only fight that should have been made. However, Cotto refuses to fight Floyd at 140 when Floyd moved up in 2005.
Cotto himself admitted this during the promotion for his fight with Floyd. It was his uncle’s idea.
Two, Cotto was being promoted by Arum so that fight was never going to happen.
You defend Cotto by saying he came off two brutal beat downs by PAC and Margocheato yet the same Cotto that was beaten by Margarito is the same one that fought PAC and the same Margarito was also coming off a huge beat down by Mosley and the catchweight when he fought PAC.

You are praising PAC for beating two guys that were coming off huge losses and then criticize Floyd for fighting Cotto to unify the 154 division.

I call you a hypocrite bro!! I’m not trying to insult you. You are just a plain old hypocrite. Period.

First, I never said Floyd needed to fight Oscar sooner or come up two weight classes the way he dragged Marquez up two weight classes. Both he and Pacquiao fought Oscar when he was past his prime or just not at his best. No one will argue that, at least no one reasonable. Floyd did "retire" to avoid a rematch though. Even Oscar not at his best pulled off a SD and should have won.

Pac had 17 more fights than Floyd. Floyd was way more preserved going into their fight despite being two years older. Those 17 fights put a lot more wear and tear on a fighter, especially since Floyd's style is risk-averse and he never really had all that much wear and tear. He also knew of Pac's shoulder injury prior to the fight, and let's not forget that bit about the illegal IV that was authorized TWO WEEKS AFTER THE FIGHT! That alone is suspect enough to breath new life into the rumors of sealed documents of Floyd's prior PED use.

Floyd could have fought Cotto earlier, he chose not to. Same with Mosley, when he was still at 135. He could also have fought Casamayor, Freitas, Williams, Margarito, and several others but didn't for one reason or other. Sergio Martinez offered to come all the way down to 150 while Floyd held a belt at 154, Floyd didn't want any part of him.
