DrunkenBoxer you must have a very boring life fu.k I'm glad I don't live next door to you I hope you don't end up broke and your family suffers because of your dumb wish that some-one and his family suffers by ending up bankrupt Mayweather aint my cup of tea either but he has put it all on the line come to think of it even his life was put on the line 49 time's as a pro fighter I hope Floyd and his family enjoys his money because he definitely earnt it :TU:.........I wish I was his big uncle :lol:

His act was to make people hate them enough to spend money to see him possibly lose so I understand the ill will people have wishing him the worst. But I'm not one of them. If someone asked me tomorrow who was the greatest I ever saw, I'd be lying if I said anyone other than Floyd. And I hate that about me.
Haven't been following boxing for too long then, huh? In his day RJJ was a far superior boxer, Sweat Pea was just as gifted defensively as older FMJ yet better offensively than young FMJ, I can't see FMJ beating any one of the Fab Four, as far as boxer/fighters go the SRR was the man and I'd even say that GGG is a better, albeit very different and a lot more aggressive, boxer than FMJ.
You should check out some of these fighters, there's some excelent displays of different styles of boxing among the fights that these guys, and more, are involved in, infact, check out Pryor vs Arguello, it's a barnberner of a fight with incredible aggressive boxing on display.

I cannot understand the op or this thread though

He waited until Manny was well past his prime and never took on the #1 challenger during his reign. Name one time he fought the #1 ranked guy behind him. Go ahead and impress me because I can't think of one.
Here we go again!! Manny ducked him this was admitted by Freddie Roach: listen and stop ASSuming or saying this because you Hate Floyd:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUs8yAS_qTs


He called out all the #1 Challengers during his reign, they were beaten by the time he got to them, you act as if he was the one controlling his career his entire career. Bob Arum was calling the shots for him all the way up until Floyd left him and still GBP was calling the shots after that and he fought all of the best competition available.

See and hear how they were ducking him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqQAcyKTpUA

This one explains how all those #1's lost and who he faced as a result: Floyd supposedly ducking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJTE06LpZOs

Paul Williams openly admitting Floyd never ducked him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4fEFOoaBfs

Case closed, stop making up BS!!
Oh, i'm not saying that Floyd wasn't avoided. I'm sure a lot of boxers didn't want to look foolish in there but that's not my point. Floyd's been calling the shots for years at the top. No one ever gave him a mandatory that i know of so he never fought the #1 contender. He took tough fights, don't get me wrong. But whether it was Manny too late or Canelo too early, there was a strategy to it.

It sounded more like criticism of Floyd but what I really meant was that Floyd was the greatest but we never saw how great he was because we never seen him have dig deep like SRL late against Tommy down on the cards and Hearns in his prime. I'm actually pissed about that as a fan. Here we had the greatest boxer and we never seen him go all out and show us his whole toolbox.

It's more of a compliment than an insult or so I intended.

If you watched that second video then you will see that the strategy was to fight the best they did not want it, he called them out; why didn't that take him on at that time if he was supposed to be so "afraid" of all this so called "best" comp. You have Roach saying that it was Manny's fault and still you are seemingly pointing the finger as though Floyd did not want the fight. When Floyd called the shots we saw him facing the best that wanted to fight him, if you disagree with that then please show us who it is he didn't fight once he was calling the shots and not Arum or Oscar??

I guess you can blame him for the fighters he's faced not being good enough to get him or passed his defense to that point where others like Hearns and SRL failed and had to overcome the adversity they faced, so in that sense I would agree with you but maybe that's just it; he was just too damn good and people don't want to give him that credit he deserved because they dislike his persona.

I'm not a fan of the man's persona (throwing money around and whatnot) but I respect the fighter for what he does in the ring and it is thereby proven that he has to be the greatest amongst the greats with his defense in what he was able to do.

Compare how Ali struggled with Frazier, Norton, Holmes (beat him nearly to death), SRL vs Hearns, Norris, and Camacho and Hearns vs SRL, Hagler and Barkley; and then compare how easily Floyd handled his best competition Manny, Canelo, Mosley,Hatton, Corrales and Cotto and you'll see at similar ages vs high caliber competition that he had little to worry about.

Shane gave him a scary moment and maybe even Packy and Corley but outside of those three no one really ever touched the guy and that isn't because they weren't any good it's because he was just that much greater.

1. True, i do not know if he has a drug problem but I'm certain that if he did that as much as the Press/Media loves to hound him that we would've already heard about by now, wouldn't you agree??

2. Yes he has had issues with his baby momma's in the PAST and HAD a stint with a domestic abuse case in the PAST but you call that a vice?? Obviously you must not realize that this isn't happening daily and it isn't costing him any money from his account. How long will you guys continue to believe that he has to keep paying for those stupid mistakes, he's already went to jail and did his time.

3. You said he had tax trouble in the PAST but is he having them NOW??

A lot of speculation and misrepresentation on your part as to seemingly concluding that these things are or will somehow cost him his fortune but yet you have no merit and have proven nothing that says it is.

1. Yes I agree that the press would be hounding him...if they knew. Things can be done in secret.

2. Yes, I do call domestic abuse a vice. In fact it's a bigger vice than drug use because not only is it illegal, it includes a victim. 2 counts in 2002, 2 counts in 2004, and then again in 2010. Throw in his "assault" on the bouncer back in 2005 and there is a pattern emerging.

3. I have no idea whether he is having tax troubles now, but knowing he's had them in the past shows he's not infallible.

There is zero speculation or misrepresentation on my part. I have made no conclusions. I have stated in every post in this thread that I hope Floyd does not end up broke. I'm simply pointing out that there are some scary articles from his past that, should they rear their ugly heads again, may cut into his fortune more deeply than his followers would believe.

1. They could be

2. I highly doubt the assault on the Bouncer really took place but again he has already paid the price for those infractions by going to jail and in actuality they made them out to sound much worse than what really happened, not that I'm giving him a pass for it but that is a fact. Again it may HAVE BEEN a pattern in the PAST but it has not reared its' ugly head since then. From what we've seen of him in the media he has been a family man taking care of his children and even the baby momma he had drama with before in court is right by his side and if she is capable of forgiving him then who are we (you included) to throw shade/judgment??

3. No one is infallible to tax troubles but the fact of the matter is that he isn't having any, again if he was then knowing how the media just loves to crucify him then we'd know about that and the alleged drug use you may be suspecting.

Until we see some concrete evidence of abuse, drugs or tax troubles then we should just keep quiet.

I don't know how much money he actually has, but I have literally never seen anyone wearing his clothing line. Also, the mayweather promotions stable is not exactly full of great fighters. I'm sure he has other more successful investments though.

Obviously they never made as much, but roy, tarver, and toney are all broke and I never heard of them being big partiers. There are other ways to go broke.

You know what, you nailed it. That moment in that Moseley fight was the ONLY time I can ever remember Floyd having to dig deep. And that was a freaking blip because he composed himself after two huge blows in that fight and found a way out of it. How he didn't at least touch his knee to the canvas on one of those was unbelievable. No idea how he did that.

You know which moment I'm talking about. 99.9% of the men on the earth go down with that punch. That's what I'm talking about though. We never saw his true greatness. Anyone that says that no one was good enough to make him dig THAT deep to find it has a great case. Naysayers can just throw names out with their opinions of boxers they feel could have tested Floyd but honestly, there's more proof and evidence supporting your claim than mine.

I didn't want to get into the fault between that Manny Floyd garbage so that's my fault. My point was that Floyd was bigger than boxing for a long time and if Floyd wanted to fight someone, he had the power to make it happen. Whoever's fault it was, the truth is that they probably both didn't want that fight at the time. Manny wasn't doing commercials calling him out then. He wasn't calling Floyd out after fights. As soon as Manny started going public, that's when the fight was made.

So you're points are tough to argue, man. I'm just mad is all. Aside from the act and his on camera personality, none of that stuff bothered me more than the fact that I just wanted to see this man in a classic battle in which he showed us his array of tools. They probably saw it in the gym while sparring or somewhere in spots but I've never seen it where it counted and it pisses me off.

There was never the off night, for Floyd. I had always hoped that we found him in a spot where he needed a knockout. Imagine that kind of Floyd? How awesome would that have been. Remember when he went for the KO against Hatton? That was magical. When have you ever seen someone get knocked out by a turnbuckle after the quickest left hook in history?

HE could have done that to almost everyone he fought had he pushed on the gas and showed us something. That's what pisses me off. I don't want him to fight again. I don't want to see some young kid hurt him or knock him down. I really hope he stays away because it's too late. I don't want to see it now.

I believe we all wanted to see Floyd tested a little bit more/pushed to that brink of desperation where he would have to come from behind and put out a fury of punches going for the KO risking it all but it wasn't to be.

As far as who's fault it was then i just take it at face value when I hear both Roach and Ariza (who never really agree ever) saying that it was Manny's fault the fight didn't happen back when we all wanted to see it, so unless someone has some other proof beyond that then I'll let that issue rest on its' laurels.

The misconception that Floyd had control over his entire career or could of fought whoever he wanted is such a hugely repeated falsehood that it is impossible even with proof that I could easily provide that would dismiss that notion that no one would believe it or stop repeating that falsity.

I guess in a sense Floyd did himself in by setting such a high bar with his ring intellect and fighting very aggressively when he was younger at 130 that by the time he reached full WW we grew accustomed to that type of fighter he was but then he seemingly took a more measured approach and limited his attacks and punch output as well for a more economically tactical fighter who measured what he did in the ring in the interest of self-preservation by not risking too much leaving moments that could be capitalized on ending with him on the canvas.

You gotta remember that this is a man who was in the P4P when RJJr got put to sleep, so probably in his mind he wasn't going to leave his opponent's with that type of opportunity in the interest of being entertaining. It's too late now to ask him of those risky moments even if he did come back, he's nowhere in the league he was once in while at 130, if this version of Mayweather was to face the 130lb version of himself then I'm easily pick the smaller Floyd due to his lightning fast hand speed, he use of his legs, never got fatigued and was hardly ever touched by anyone<<<<we can't say this about the WW Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Those are nothing but comparisons and I never said I hold it against any of them, i just drew lines that shows how he (Floyd) was able to do vs his comp in comparison to how they did vs theirs; if you took it as a diss then honestly that's your problem.

*** is the fan a NEW FAN? ** "Oh sure"! But..come on! Those weren't FIGHTS! No body who knows better holds the ***marked bouts against these greats!

New fan, hahaha. Just because you disagree with me that makes me new? I'm certain that I'm as old, if not older than you and thereby have been a fan of this sport just as long as you have or longer and like you, I too have served in the Army (in Germany) and been involved in the sport as well.

Those are nothing but comparisons and I never said I hold it against any of them, i just drew lines that shows how he (Floyd) was able to do vs his comp in comparison to how they did vs theirs; if you took it as a diss then honestly that's your problem.
I was V Corp champ in 76 & 77.
Anyone who lived thru the time line of the marked fights understands this language I bring! That you can NOT understand, means, (no offense) you a "junior"! : ) ["get it?"]
Really man, them fights is like "funny" that you bring! & HUGH LAUGH! SRL is not judged on Norris or Camacho fights! He was "shot"! FMJ never went past it. It's different for different fighters.
By the way, you can look at a new stream I put up about Administration and an introduction to my UWBCAFO-I work to "echelon" boxing. You have a lot of energy. Get involved where the punches going to "count"!

^ ^ It's not about any "disagreement" here. It's cold/hard understanding LANGUAGE!

I lived through that time of those fights, I know SRL is not judged on those fights and I get it that he was supposedly shot, Floyd fought just as long as SRL has and never looked nowhere near shot vs big named fighters, even those who were far younger than the comp that SRL fought at the time.

My point was to make a comparison of them facing their best competition and it is clear how Floyd was able to come out virtually unscathed whereas most of those guys I mentioned were completed destroyed by their competition.

I think your blog/thread on the UWBCAFO-I is too cluttered for most to take the time to try and read it with some understanding, I'm not trying to be critical or hate on it or you but I'm basically saying clean it up a little/shorten it or bring it to a point where it is legible and maybe you'll get more people to want to jump onboard with you.
