i mean ok the guys very good talented fast etc...... but he aint anything special. Theres plenty of crazier Boxers out there. I met mayweather 2 times and both times he was being cocky. he was talking to me like he's god I just wanted to crack him right there on the spot .
Mayweather's one of the most gifted & special fighters of the last decade.
That's a fact. Period. He's no more cocky than James "Fat Ass" Toney for example...I think that he has more right to be.
Cheers.
na I mean i just dont like floyd. I dun care whats his record or how good he is. he just acts too arogant and if I ever see him acting tough again I will punch him and street fight him. I dun like the stupid fuk. Im a Boxer too. i recently turned Pro. i might be 0-0 in the pros now and mayweather 37-0 but on the street theres no rules. and theres no records on the street. Look at delahoya for example great fighter. good ass record. fought great opponents does he act cocky???? No he doesnt.
You sound pretty tough behind your keyboard. :boxing2:

You'll walk over...butcha limpin back. ;)
bro im not saying I will beat mayweather. Im saying if It comes down please believe I will fight him. But the point is i just wanna show him he aint shit. Just cause he's famous and on TV and cause of his record and cause he has money, he aint shit.
...but in saying so...this counters all your statements of Mayweather's arrogant personality.Quote:

My point being...everyone's differnet & personalityes are different all the way around the board.
That's what makes boxing great...the personalities.
ye i know what ure saying but theres some good fighters out there very rare but some that are very good but dont act arrogent. For example Klitschko brothers, Delahoya, Pacquio. Vernon Forrest. Shane Mosley. Honestly speaking tho i been boxing for a while and even tho Im a boxer, im a put it this way i dont like fellow boxers. 95% of them are assholes bro. No joke they all think thier tough as fuk. and that pisses me off, i did meet some cool boxers but most of em are assholes bro. Im not an asshole Im an exception but most are.
You are an idiot. Since you have a sadclick for every post you've made here, Ill gladly add another.Quote:

Most boxers are good people & they are human. They falter under the same pressures as we do...drugs, divorce, money, women, & ego's...in the end...out of all the boxers that I have met...they act like dicks in the ring & out of it in front of the camera...but in the end...they are norms like us.
Seriously...it may be your approach. Honestly...I have hung with several pros & after a few drinks they are brought out of their shell...or ignore their annoyance of fans poking & proding & they end up all being good chaps...just with money & much addorastion.
Boxers are just people like us...they just sell the show.
Maybe you should change your "balls to the walls" approach because every fighter that I have ever interviewed...by the end of it they have all broken down to my drunken level & end up passing questions as if we were chums. People just need to take into effect that boxers get bombarded daily with retards that ask the same shit, act the same way, & don't appreciate them for what they are...
Our Champions & Heroes.
You can not expect everyone to act the same.
Not everyone is brought up the same and not everyone is wired the same.
He is not the only cocky star, be it ... sports, or famous person.
Cocky, arrogant, stuck-up, conceded or convinced, that is his problem.
People change as they get older. He wont always be this way.
I have never met him so I can not say.
I think it is just a show or maybe a defensive wall he has built around him. I will hurt you before you hurt me type thing.
Who knows, who cares. It's not like we have to live with him or we have to bang him.
Know what I mean Vern?
Gotta love the irony here.Quote:

Not me. Toney's had his ass handed to him his last 3 matches...Floyd aint been beatin yet...but as you said...he is still young.Quote:

Whether its an act or not he obviously WANTS to be known as a cocky bugger so leave him to it. It would be nice to see him show a bit more respect at times though but its all to sell tickets at the end of the day, its as simple as that.
I would love to see Floyds huge ass bodyguards stomp you into the ground once you touched him, then he would casually walk up and bitch slap you....bro.
He is so arrogant because talent wise,he's that dam good. When you know your that good,when you can count on 1 hand the number of times you've been hit flush by your opponents,obviously you're going to have an ego/some arrogance.It's part of his game.
ProBoxer18: So you think you're a boxer? ;D recently turned pro with a 0-0 record... ;D... how many amateur bouts? And you don't think he will rip out your liver? ;DQuote:

Bearing that you may be approaching the age when you will begin breeding with some other half-wit, and passing on your jumbled genetics, I thought you were an interesting contradiction to the darwinian theory of evolution, survival of the fittest, and improving mutations. However, you are also a good argument against creationism as I doubt you were created by God (please let's not even use the words 'intelligent design' and you in the same sentence).
I was wondering whether you had any intelligent comments about that?
haha... you can tell this kid has been around the circuit can't you... you're not in the mix... you don't know any boxers... not even at a local level.Quote:

When you start going to shows and meeting people from clubs up and down the country then you can say you know how boxers are... and generally they are cool people... like minded... not full of hot air... they don't think they're 'tough'...
You've watched the contender too much and think that every one is like Ishe etc... ::**
STOP IT AHAHAHA! YOU'RE KILLING ME X! :PQuote:

honestly if i had most of the boxing world telling me i was number 1 p4p and people comparing me to the greatest of all times, i would probably be just as cocky. just a thought.
Yeah seriously. ProBoxer, make sure you get it filmed for Youtube when you decide to walk over and "street fight" Floyd Mayweather. If you want your fame and entitlement...there it is. Your fifteen seconds of fame broadcast all over the world...of you getting the ever-loving shit kicked out of you by the number one pound-for-pound boxer in the world.Quote:

Other than being slightly amused with your constant bashings & ramblings...you bring nothing to this forum that can't be debunked.
Just for the record Pro boxer 18 = Baller27... ;)
floyd is trying to promote himself, he's a character in the boxing world. i don't understand why people never comprehend this.
He has to market himself somehow (obviously his boxing ability only attracts so many fans) and if he is taking the arrogant route, more the power to him. People often wonder why boxers such as Naz, Eubank and other outspoken althletes accumulate so much wealth for themselves. It's because they are outspoken, controversial and create a degree of excitement to the sporting public. A sport would be dead if everyone didn't talk, characters are needed to a certain extent. The boxers who can back it up with their pugilism skills are the fighters who will most likely attract the biggest crowds. Muhammad Ali is a prime example.
Good post .
Mayweathers arrogance is down to his father who told him he was destined for greatness from a young age .
I wish i could dig up the interview with Floyds granpap who seemed ( shock horror ) to be quite level headed and blamed Snr for Jnrs complete lack of humility .
Actually i think Floyd is probably a nice lad his interviews seem pretty natural he likes to talk and can back it up but as far as insulting Sugar Ray Lenord goes thats just silliness and talking in the 3rd person is a real turn off but even Ricky Hatton does that now .
Any young man with that amount of Money and people around him telling him what he wants to hear is going to be arrogant but i dont think he is totally unapproachable he seems very open and is going to respondwith hostility when questioned .
He is not an all time great IMO .

It may be me but I saw a preview of the upcoming Delahoya-Mayweather 24/7 special that is airing this month and I thought it looked pretty entertaining just based on the amount of shit that Mayweather was talking. Like it or not, it is an entertaining part of the business. CC for breaking it down, One... ;D
Should be a good match-up. Two undefeated fighters. One knows exactly how good he really is. The other, er .... well ..... doesn't.
Top tip Proboxer18
Carry some id on you. Just so they know where to deliver you home to and so your mom doesn't mistake the red mess outside the caravan for a pizza. ;)
yeah...people said the same about Ali at the time...and if you can back it up, go ahead and talk it up.....Quote:

Where does a Knocked the F***** out by DLH result leave his legacy?Quote:

He isn't scary looking, or crazy enough to scare people, so in the end he looks more the comedy bad guy. Too bad James Toney has that role for life no matter what Floyd does. I really believes how Floyd conducts himself from here on out will have a large impact on how people will look back at him in years to come. If snakes like Delahoya and Leonard can be good guys to the public I don't see why Floyd couldn't.
man why do so many peeps actually care if a good athlete is arrogant or cocky? if they can back it up so be it, but if they suck balls and they are cocky/arrogant now thats different. athletes are very competitive and some are smart enough to play the cocky/arrogant card for self marketing reasons while others are just plain insecure. but i really dont see anything wrong with being cocky/arrogant especially if one has the credentials.
