Floyd Mayweather radio interview (gets punked hardcore)

Re: Floyd Mayweather radio interview (gets punked hardcore)

that was great and Floyd got exposed.

I've been saying this for the past few years and Floyd is basically a coward. Nothing more nothing less. Supremely talented boxer, but no heart and pride. His ego is so bloated that he actually thinks he's GOAT. Hell, even Pacquiao is ahead of him right now for all time boxers.

Floyd could beat him, but I think we will never know the answer to that.

Re: Floyd Mayweather radio interview (gets punked hardcore)

It kills me when people say he doesn't fight real fighters, like these guys aren't professionals. Like they don't have talent or don't train. He just ain't fighting who you want to see him lose to. All these guys are above average boxers and he beat them, all of them. Floyd is at the point where people watch just to see him lose, so he fights as a business. Paul, Shane, etc. are very bad business. JMM is good business. That Dj is a joke.

why is paul williams and mosley "bad business".....because GASPPPP he might lose? No wonder you support Mayweather....you think just like him.

I want to see him fight Cotto, Pacquaio and Mosley and Paul Williams not to see him lose. Although I will root for pacman....but the other 3 fights I just want to see great fights. Couldn't careless who wins. But Mayweather wants no part of that it seems....and for that he will never be considered as one of the all time greats. He might have all time greats skill and talent, but he has to prove it in the ring by fighting the best of the best.

Funny thing is, I think Mayweather can win ALL those 4 fights based on his skills, but all that is speculation. We will never know....

and how arrogant is this guy? he said when I retire, boxing will be dead. His type of "business boxing" mentality is EXACTLY what is ruining this sport.

Edit: And no one is saying he hasn't fought real fighters, people are saying that he hasn't taken fights that are dangerous to him.

Delahoya was outmatched
Baldomir is a decent fighter at best
Hatton a good fighter.

But like RA said in the interview, when was the last time you watched a mayweather fight and seriously wondered who will win the fight?

that will happen with Cotto- Pacquiao
and that will happen if PBF mans up and fights those 4 fighters mentioned above.

Re: Floyd Mayweather radio interview (gets punked hardcore)

Dude isnt a DJ, if you listened to the interview, the guys tell RA thanks for coming in and giving an interview. HE was being interviewed. They got Floyd and the dude just asked him the tough questions.

Again, Floyd has his bills paid. He's the one that talks about him being the greatest of all time. He brings all this to himself. Someone just finally called him on it.

Good points.
Floyd talks about himself in the third-person. He also talks out of both sides of his mouth.
In one moment he says that he has no control over who he fights, and then in the next he talks about how he calls his own shots.
Heck, even his managers have said that Floyd is responsible for picking his opponents.

Floyd is one of the greatest talents of our generation but he won't go down as one of the greatest until he takes some risks and fights some real challengers.
The greatest boxer of all time, Sugar Ray Robinson, went up 17 freakin' pounds to fight Jake Lamatta. I don't see how asking Floyd to gain 7 pounds to fight Williams is that out of the question.

Floyd goes out of his way to remind everyone, as much as he can, that he's a business man first and a boxer second. He's looking to make as much money as possible, not cement a legacy.
I don't have a problem with that. But I hate it when he talks out of both sides of his mouth. Don't tell everyone you want to be the greatest but at the same time say you'll only make fights that make sense for his wallet.
There's a big, big difference between wanting to be the greatest boxer of all time and the richest.

Floyd made some decent points in this argument; especially calling out Mosley at 135 in '99. But overall he got owned by RA.
RA backed him into a corner and PBF had no response for the same arguments made against him over the past 3-5 years.

If any of us want to see this guy fight someone close to his ability and weight I guess we'll have to wait for the IRS to broadcast on PPV.

Re: Floyd Mayweather radio interview (gets punked hardcore)

One more argument against the Floyd apologists.
Why does Williams make no sense? How did Marquez make any more sense?
Floyd himself says that he's the draw, that he could fight a cardboard box and sell PPV buys.
Outside of the boxing elite nobody knew who Marquez was, so Williams would be no different.

In fact, a PW fight makes far more sense than Marquez because it's more dramatic. He's going up in weight to fight a man much larger than him - just like he forced Marquez to do.

Face it, the only reason PBF came out of retirement is because he's broke and owes the IRS large sums of cash.
If he won the Powerball lottery the day before the Marquez fight he would have canceled that bout and re-retired.

He cares nothing about being the best or fighting the best. It's all about a padded protected record and money.

I don't believe this at all. JMM is a bigger draw than Williams due to his fights with Manny. The "casual" fan is far more aware of JMM.

For us that follow the sport, sure. But it wouldn't be near the payday that Floyd now expects, and it's also not a fight that he can clearly win.

Of course he's going to protect his record as best as possible. He's on the precipice and doesn't want to screw it up. I don't like PBF, but I understand totally what he's doing.

I just spoke with 5 people from my office who loosely follow boxing.
Not one of them had heard of Marquez until after the PBF fight and only 1 knew about Paul Williams - and that knowledge was based on his upcoming fight with Pavlik.

I realize that's a small test-group, but I believe the two carry similar weight amongst casual or non-fans.

Yeah, I understand it too. He's a punk that cares far more about money and his precious record than actually putting his fists where his mouth is at.

What's disappointing is that at one time Floyd was fearless and would go after the top dogs. But then he got rich and famous and now he's lost that edge. He's a punk bitch and he'll only tangle with smaller or shot opponents.

Floyd will fight just enough to pay his debts and get him back in the black. After that, he'll retire again and claim he was one of the greatest.
But for those that don't have on rose-colored glasses, we'll know the truth. He's got talent, but he has no class or heart.

No, sir. JMM is a HUGE draw in the Latino community, something Williams or Floyd can't do. And Latinos comprise a large, large segment of the boxing fans in the U.S.

I can almost guarantee that Williams-Floyd would gross less than JMM-Floyd. Only the boxing elite know Williams. He's not a household name, but JMM is in Latino households in the U.S. and is a god in Mexico.

He cares nothing about being the best or fighting the best. It's all about a padded protected record and money.

True, true. The JMM fight was a mismatch from the second it was announced.

Take care,

This. Where I live, the "casual" fan is, about 75% of the time, Mexican-American. They all know Marquez - none of them know PW.

That's why Floyd lined it up.

Re: Floyd Mayweather radio interview (gets punked hardcore)

R.A The Rugged Man made some valid points and so did Floyd.


****Paul Williams is too big for Floyd, Pacquiao, Cotto and Shane Mosley....Do you think they will call him out....crickets...listening...crickets

Rugged lost my respect when he big ups Margarito and Paq and tears down Floyd in the same breath.

Re: Floyd Mayweather radio interview (gets punked hardcore)

That was 20 classic minutes right there. I could've listened to them argue another 10 minutes lol. Floyd got owned man. He made a couple good points here and there but the other dude was on point.

This is untrue.

Re: Floyd Mayweather radio interview (gets punked hardcore)

this just adds to the frustration. why won't PBF and Mosley fight? why?

Reverse it. Why didn't Mosley fight Floyd for all those years when he was on top?

Floyd could beat him, but I think we will never know the answer to that.

I ask someone right now, name 5 boxer's that Floyd supposedly won't fight. Let me take a few off your list.

Williams - when he was at 147 the biggest name on his list was Margarito and Quintana (whom he lost to).

Mosley - had the chance to fight Floyd and did not. Now that he is divorced and wanting to make money for Golden Boy, he is eager to fight.

Cotto - He wanted the fight, Cotto and his promoter did not.

Every so often a 'new' fighter that has a padded record is supposed to be the guy to de-throne Floyd.

Do you all realize that this is exactly what is happening to Klitscho. He is dismantling over-hyped bums with no real wins on their records and gets no real credit from the masses for it. Yet we want Floyd to do the same thing. Name the last REAL challenge Klitscho had?

Re: Floyd Mayweather radio interview (gets punked hardcore)

This is untrue.

Why?

I'm not gonna front like I know boxing because I don't know that much but to me it seemed like Floyd had only a few valid points like Bob Arum preventing fights that involved Floyd going up against one of his guys and a few other things.

Well the argument that Floyd has not fought anyone is really a flawed assumption. His record is full of guys that he was supposed to lose to. Its easy to look back now and say, well he wasn't challenged. Well that was not the assumption going in. Chavez is a perfect example of that, as it was one of the fights that made folks stand up and take notice.

Fast forward years later, every year someone that has no record of achievement is 'supposed' to be the guy that beats him. I would like to see these guys accomplish more. Mosley is the only guy that REALLY has that argument but he passed on Floyd for years and NOW wants a fight. But for Mosley, its a fight he can't win. Mosley does not beat pure boxers and the two he faced recently beat him soundly (Forrest and Wright).

Williams is an interesting fight but he is not at 147 right now. I used to enjoy a fighter staying at a weight and clearing it out. Lately, we have all this jumping around to make fights and getting some bad matchups.

Re: Floyd Mayweather radio interview (gets punked hardcore)

I don't want to reverse it, I want floyd to answer the question. He probably say the same thing you just said "he didn't fight me 10 years ago" ...that's right TEN YEARS AGO.

ok, so they didn't fight in '99 ...what does that have to do with why it won't happen now?

again.... WHY?
