I missed it. What did he say?
Stephen A. is a bafoon. He was enfatuated with Mosley talking about him the whole show even after Floyd left and it actually took Mayweather to bring up Margarito! I swear if he didn't have so many boxers on the show I would never watch. Ok, from memory.Quote:

This led them (after pointless screaming from Stephen A.) to De La Hoya. Umm... memory not to good on that one but basically he said that is the fight he is looking for. He said there is no way Oscar can retire because he knows Oscar won't retire before facing the best one more time.
Then he talked about Judah. He talked about the low blow and how that effected him. Mayweather said that he picked the 10th round to get Judah out of the fight and Judah knew that so he low blowed. Then the whole melee took a lot out of him so he just cruised to victory.
Then he talked about Bob Arum and why he split. It was because Arum wouldn't stop bugging him about Margarito. He asked the audience if any of them even knew who Margarito was. He asked if they knew who he had beat. Silence.
He was asked if he thinks Gatti should retire. No mention of Baldo. He said yes and that another guy who should retire is Vargas even though he's only 28. He said some people have to retire because of the punishment they take but since he doesn't take punishment that guys like Bernard Hopkins can stick around. He says that no one knows if he can take a punch because he's never been hit flush by a big puncher and that he wants a career like Hopkins.
He then was asked why he fights at 140, 147 and 154 he said it's because he wants a legacy to be a guy who dominates 3 weight classes. He said that he wants to leave a legacy as the greatest ever. That he respects Leonard, Robinson and Ali but he wants to finish his career on top of the all time list.
That's basically it.
Nice reportage, young Amat! :appl: :coolclick:
Funny that Floyd talks about dominating 3 divisions (140, 147, 154)....when is he gonna start??? (yawn)
Floyd isn't dumb he picks and chooses his opponents wisely, He is a heck of a fighter but he know's who to try to step in the ring with and who not to. I think 154 may be biting off a little more than he can chew.
