He avoided Vernon Forrest (waited until Vernon moved up to 154 before he fought at 147) or Kostya Tszyu (he avoided the 140 division and went to 147). He avoided prime Oscar De La Hoya, prime Shane Mosley, and prime Manny Pacquaio (then overcame his fear after he saw Manny KOed by JMM).

Floyd always made sure he fought in his adopted home town of Las Vegas, and often had officials (Joe Cortez, the judges in Castillo I) help him out.

He is insecure, he does care what people think of him regardless of him being rich or not. He smiles like a small child everytime somebody says something nice about him. And if anybody says the slicest negativ thing about him even if it is true than he starts stuttering and becoming angry like a spoiled rich college girl when she gets a corvette instead of a bentley..

He certainly doesn't care what you think about him, or what you think you know about him...

Another highly suspect moment was seeing Victor Ortiz laughing and smiling just moments after he had been knocked out by Mayweather who threw the two KO blows while Ortiz had his hands down after a head butt attempt seconds earlier. Also, I remember being at the New York City press conference to announce the fight and seeing Ortiz ask Floyd to take a photo together with his family on the stage AFTER the press conference had completed. Floyd complied and they both smiled nicely for the photo taken by I believe it was the sister of Ortiz. This was the only time in observing twenty five years of boxing press conferences that I witnessed a main event challenger ask the champion to take a personal photo with his family. Coincidence? Or further inside job evidence?

The claims articulated by this post are absolutely fúckíng bóllócks!

It was written by somebody who doesn’t understand timelines and clearly wasn’t even following the sport during the time periods he’s referring to!

For sure, Floyd Mayweather Jr. should not be held immune from receiving criticism, because he does deserve to receive a certain amount of denigration, but when someone who openly admits to no longer enjoying the sport to have the sheer audacity to make complete and utter fúckíng búllshít claims that bear absolutely no relation to the events that took place in the real-world… well that’s just fúckíng stupid!

Mike destroyed scoop that day

His first line of that verbal attack was the best: "Put you mother in a straight jacket you punk ass white boy"
