Mayweather Interview(Larry/Floyd fued video inside)

[cortdawg25]

Floyd cannot take criticism.
He was asked a valid an simple question, and it was Merchants right as a commentator to let Floyd respond to the fact that people were walking out before the end of the fight.

It wasnt just Merchant who was criticizing Floyds style, all three comentators were.
Larrys job is to ask the questions,and get the fighters opinions and thats wat he tried to do.

What the **** is the point of stating the obvious, that Floyd is extremely talented, and can box any guys head off.
He did compliment Floyd during the fight.

I hate ass kissing interviews. Larry asked him different questions, but the one that Floyd didnt like, he starting acting like a spoilt child.


(He also exposed his lack of intelligence by saying Larry should stick to commentating.....thats wat he was doing )

thats not commentating, that's being a critic. If he was commentating he would have asked What would you say to the people who were booing and thought the fight was boring and felt like you could have been more entertaining? He asks his in degrading and personal matter, that's called being critic.

Can I start by saying I am a fan of all Floyd Mayweather has done, and I thoroughly enjoy watching him fight. That said, Mayweather had his pride injuried and mouthed off in a very disrespectful manner. Merchant stated a fact- people were booing him. That was a fact- not a question or opinion. Floyd stated, as Larry said, that he was an entertainer...when people boo they aren't being entertained. When they compared Mayweather to fighters of old, and said he didn't stack up, I understand what they meant- they meant that if Ali or Robinson or Leonard had such an easy opponent in front of them they would have entertained by doing their best- Floyd coasted. He wanted his money. He wanted his victory. He had no intention of mixing it up when he could win easily. That's his right. I know that. When people at ringside have paid hundreds of dollars to watch you, though, maybe you should realize you can at least attempt to be a little more entertaining?

How do you know they were booing him? Couldn't they be booing Baldomir for not competing like they thought he would? Why is that you think they were booing Floyd, I didn't hear any FLOYD U SUCK?

I understand your point, but let me ask you.
how could being more disciplinate affect Duran negatively?

my general answer to the post is the following link:

Looks like a great article, il read it sometime soon.

As for the question about Duran. I dont know. No one will ever know. Some athletes, wen they lose their temper and become more controlled or diciplined, they lose the aggressive element that made them so effective.
I think if u change Duran in ANY way, he wouldnt of been Duran.

thats not commentating, that's being a critic. If he was commentating he would have asked What would you say to the people who were booing and thought the fight was boring and felt like you could have been more entertaining? He asks his in degrading and personal matter, that's called being critic.

Yea, u have a point. He could have re-phrased it.
Yet i still think Floyd really over reacted.
All Larry said is "U have often spoke of boxing as entertaing, u came to the ring dressed as a gladiator. Do u think this was particularly entertaing? There were people booing. There were people leaving by the 10 and 11th round"

I dont think there is anything degrading about what he said. And i believe even if Larry did ask it in the way u suggested, Floyd would have still been offended, and gone on a immature rant.

Baldomir didnt have any choice. He wasnt the one coasting. And he isnt the one who people consider the best fighter in the world.
I havent heard any real criticism of Baldomir, not from people posting, nor the commentators.
By that it would seem obvious that the crowd werent booing Baldomir.

I think they were booing the general lack of action from the fight. Not really either fighter.
But if one of the fighters could of added some real excitement it was Floyd. But they werent to know he had a hurt right hand.

they prolly was booing the fight and not the fighters, but you can't specualte that they were booing him for coasting? if anything, they should be booing HBO and Baldomir. HBO for saying and expecting a huge challenge and baldomir for not being able to come thru and allowing Floyd to coast. I agree he was coasting and winning with 1 hand, but that just shows how good he is. there is no one in the WW division that can truly test him right now. They all are at 160 lbs. i just think the commentators were a joke, in the 8th round they said we havn't seen punches like this since Roy Jones anb by the 11th round Emanuel Steward is saying Cintron would give him a run for his $$$, what the hell?

^ I agree they act as it's mayweather fault for not leating baldomir hit him and make it competitive

floyd did what b-hop should have did years ago. i like merchant but he takes it too far sometimes. remember he bashed pernell whitaker in his hay day

[Ruffhouse]

If Floyd is boring then you should stop watching boxing. There is nobody out there with any skills close to him. He outclasses everyone and its onesided so it may be boring to you but it technical to me. Stop hating.
