I feel bad for the Floyd Mayweather haters

I've been a big fan of Floyd's since I saw him destroy Diego Corrales and I've enjoyed every second of being a huge Floyd Mayweather fan. There is no doubt in my mind that he is one of the greatest fighters to ever step into the ring. He fights like a fish swims, even most of the haters would admit that. I love his cocky attitude. I love the fact that he talks a lot of smack. I love the fact that he does what he wants to do, not what others (including the fans) want him to do. I'm just a huge fan of his.

I feel bad for the haters. I honestly do. I see your threads popping up on Saddo all the time, and I feel pity for you. You blatantly cling to moot points, twist and distort truth, and in doing so you throw whatever credibility you may have out the window. Have you haters formulated your plan of attack for after Floyd beats Cotto? Will you diminish Cotto and say he was overrated, slow, and one dimensional? Who's the next guy that Floyd will be ducking? Hopefully not Margarito again, that was just rediculous. Maybe the winner of Hopkins/Calzaghe? "If Prettyfag Floyd Gayweather thinks he's the greatest than he should fight Kelly Pavlik!!!111".

When will you people learn? Not worth compromising your credibility for a petty disliking of teh Pretty One. ;D

I have nothing against most of your post, but this statement: "I love the fact that he does what he wants to do, not what others (including the fans) want him to do."

Is exactly why many fans have turned on him. You see reason in making a thread that justifies his actions (or non actions), in an almost blinded attempt to justify your investment in him as a fan.

I am not a fan of any boxer. I am a fan of boxing and give credit to those who promote the sport in a positive light. I want to see guys who pour all their blood and sweat in an attempt at glory. Who will take on all comers to prove they are the best. Floyd was once one of those type of guys, but now he and many of his fans think he has paid his dues and he now deserves the easy street. Sorry but boxing is not an easy street game. You need to fight hard from the beginning till the end if you want my respect.

If he was a stock broker, a surgeon, a baseball player or anything else, he would have been fired long ago for being an under achiever. You cannot sit on past accomplishments forever. You cannot sit at the what you think is the top and look down, you need to keep climbing. That is what being a great athlete, or individual, is all about.

What?

Floyd is a bit of a mixed bag for me... As soon as I saw him first fight I loved his style and abilities... For me, that is right where it's at.. Being like a sniper with your jab, and in turn never really getting hit.. In my own training I tried to mirror his technique... I still love watching every one of his fights and he is one of the most inspirational fighters to watch in the ring.. Some find him boring as far as entertainment and drama value goes during his bouts, but I love watching his skill 95% of the time..
He's one of my favourite fighters in that respect..
But I just can't stand the guy personally... For someone with such great talent, he could just let that speak for itself, and he'd be a true legend in my book. He's got all the talent to draw in a tonne of money for every fight, and a tonne of fans... The mouth is just completely un-needed in my opinion..
Most people respect humbleness and Floyd just doesn't have that..

I mean, he could be different in person, he could give a lot of money to charity, be good to his fans in person etc and that would earn a lot of respect for me.

So really I have mixed feeling towards the guy... Their is contrasting reasons to like or hate the guy, and that's why so many people have an opinion on him..

I doubt anyone doesn't have respect for what he's acheived inside the ring though. If any other guy had acheived the same victories over the same people, they would be rated as a great champ without a doubt.

But their is more to boxings appeal than JUST who wins or loses fights, and people are entitled and have the freedom to judge whether they like a fighter or not, based on just about anything...

I am very glad a person like Floyd has been a part of boxing and wouldn't want it any other way.. I think he's one of the best fighters around also.. But will never be one of my personal favourites... Would he give a sh!t about that? probably not.. and I wouldn't expect him too..

:cool: I agree with you good point friend.......:cool:

Being a fan of boxing and being just a fan of a certain fighter(as you obviously are) are two completely different things. You call people haters and this and that but the reality is, he's not good for the sport.

How can a guy convince people with his mouth that he's unbeatable without ever taking the toughest challenges in the ring? He hasn't fought a worthy opponent since Zab and he's only a 5 round fighter. Before Zab he was fighting a bunch of has beens and never beens or gonna bes after moving to 140.

Not 1 defence of his title and still not stripped.

You believe the hype. Just because you were fooled doesn't mean we have to be. I don't care about his personality or anything else as long as he's proving something.

If anything, there are more Cotto haters these days scared to death to see floyd get in there and risk his 0.

I love the game and this is not supposed to be about whoever is the richest is the best. It's about whoever dares fight the best, win or lose is a real legend.

That's the reason I respect guys like Mosley, Winky and those types of guys. Not afraid to see how good they really are.

Gee the only thing you left out of that post was...

"If I ever got the chance I would love to :splurt:Floyd. In the meantime when me and my buddies get together and :doggy:. We call each other Floyd"

The only thing of merit in that post was Floyd is a skilled fighter

Floyd's universally regarded as the #1 pound-for-pound fighter in the sport. Anyone who can label that as underachieving needs to re-evaluate.

Not to mention that he's smarter than plenty of stock-brokers, a better athlete than any baseball player and he makes fewer mistakes in the ring than a lot of surgeons do on the operating table.

Just because Floyd hasn't yet fought this guy or that guy that so-and-so wants him to fight, that doesn't mean he's sitting on past accomplishments. How is that even possible in a boxing ring? When he fights Oscar in September, is Floyd going to be able to beat him using his "past accomplishments?"

It is simple. Oscar does not even deserve this fight. He lost the first one in convincing fashion. What does a rematch do it this case? Pad Pockets only! There are other guys in Floyd's own weight class who are deserving of a shot of his standing, but he refuses to grant them a shot. For what reason? It certainly is not financial as a fight with another welterweight title holder will generate a huge gate. Floyd is taking the easy route. Oscar is easy money. It is a great business decision, but a shitty decision for Boxing.

What pisses me off, is that Floyd's fans should want a fight with someone like Cotto, instead of trying to justify why he does not need to. In the big scheme of things, Boxing is about putting the two best in the ring to square off. Floyd is not the only one guilty of doing this, but he is at the top and when you are there, you need to defend that position.

If you want to see how things should be done, go here: Marvin Hagler and look at Hagler's last 10 fights. After every superfight, he would defend against the toughest contenders who wanted those belts. He never forgot about them and what they deserved, and granted them their wish for a shot at his legacy.

I just want him to keep fighting the menaces out there in his weight div.
Judah, Margarito, Williams, Mosley??? and Cotto.

Nowhere near as big of a gate as a fight with Oscar. It's not like a fight against Oscar only makes Floyd a little bit more money than a fight against Cotto or Margarito.... it makes Floyd a TON more money. The other welters aren't even close to Oscar in terms of popularity and marketability.

Wow, this couldn't be more inaccurate. I don't know a single Floyd fan who doesn't want to see him fight Cotto. We all want to see that fight.

We're just realistic and know that it won't happen until at least 2009. No one is saying that Floyd doesn't need to fight Cotto, we're just saying he doesn't need to fight Cotto RIGHT NOW. If Cotto is as good and as dangerous as everyone thinks he is, then he should have no problem staying undefeated for another 12 months while Floyd takes care of Oscar again.

Awesome posting by BX730ony.

Bullcrap!!! Most of floyds fans make it seem as though it's just another easy nights work and Cotto is not ready and a million other excuses. That includes you.

Excuses, excuses, excuses that's all I hear from floyd fans.

You tell me who believes in their guy more....Cotto fans or floyd fans?

We're calling for it and you guys are running from it.

El Gamo has started working unfortunately! Welcome to a mans world! No more spending days typing about boxing! Although I am still going to be online for sure,certainly not as much as before. Great to see you still making excellent posts though.

I have to disagree Sweetpea,you are part of a handful at best,of Floyd fans that want to see a Cotto fight. Others said he has to fight Williams(Not anymore ;) ), other says Cotto doesn't bring enough to the table. Cotto is good and he dam sure as hell is dangerous but he is also doing something Floyd is not:taking tough fights after tough fights(against legit WW's),followed by a break(Gomez which is still decent) and then more tough fights(Quintana rematch,Winner of Cintron and Margarito). He's fighting the guys Floyd would never fight and could very well lose to anyone of them.

Answer me this:who's resume is better at 140 or 147? I have zero doubt it's Cotto's. So why should Cotto still have to prove anything? Cotto's beaten better fighters in the last couple of years than Zab,Baldomir,Oscar even.

I would love for you to look thru my posts and try to find one where I said that:

a. it would be an easy night's work
b. Cotto is not ready

Good luck, because you won't find what you're looking for. I've never said anything remotely like that.

i don't hate mayweather but he always seem so eager to avoid fighting the best

I really don't believe this. Maybe there are a few Floyd fans who don't want to see him fight Cotto, but those people are idiots. The vast majority of Floyd fans want to see him fight Cotto eventually... because it will be a great fight.

When people say he "doesn't bring enough to the table," they don't mean skills-wise or talent-wise, it's that he doesn't bring enough to the table yet moneywise.

As has been pointed out in a ton of threads, fighters are always going to fight the opponent who brings them the most money. Cotto is nowhere near as big of a draw as Oscar, it's not even close.

And he never will be a big a draw as Oscar,not even close,does that mean Floyd is going to keep fighting Oscar? Are we going to have a trilogy? Is Cotto going to have to wait on the sidelines because Floyd is going to rematch Zab because Zab brings more $$$ to the table?

I personally think it's a shambles. Rematching Oscar. The whole WWE thing when he body was supposedly breaking down and he needed a break etc. Fighter can fight the best fighters out there and make $$$. Mayweather is not and should not be an exception to that.

How in the hell can he get to that point as long as the Mayweather's of the world keep refusing to fight him? How can he become marquee value when the multi million dollar fighters, who earned their distinction by fighting other huge names, turn their backs and stick with their exclusive club? He will always be on the outside looking in because they will not take the chance to fight him. Your argument does not wash at all. He will never be able to bring enough moneywise, when the so called best refuse to walk inside the ropes with him.

Cotto is the goto man in the division like it or not. Floyd has to fight him instead of a BS fight with ODLH. Money is nothing but an excuse and a lame one at that. Mayweather will get a great payday no matter who he fights at this point.

None of this is accurate at all.

As has been stated on this board a million times, fighters are going to fight the opponent who brings them the most money. Floyd is fighting Oscar again because he is the opponent right now who brings Floyd the most money.

Once Floyd beats Oscar again, Oscar will be out of the equation. Once that happens, Cotto will be the opponent left who can bring Floyd the most money. Which is why Floyd will fight Cotto eventually, because at some point Cotto will be the opponent who can bring Floyd the most money. But he isn't that guy right now, because Oscar is still around.

Why can't people understand this? It's a very basic concept.

And on another note, no Floyd fan should care how much money Cotto brings to the table. The "they want to see Floyd fight Cotto eventually, but he does not bring enough money now" makes no sense at all. Why should they care how much Mayweather is getting paid? They should want to see Floyd is good competitive fights and have lots of fights instead of playing around in the WWE.

I don't care how much Floyd is getting paid. But I'm also realistic and I understand how the sport of boxing works. And since I know how the sport works, I know that Floyd (like any fighter) is going to fight the guy who brings the biggest paycheck.

You can sit around and say that it's stupid and that Floyd should just fight the guys who you want him to fight, but you're living in a dream world. That's not how the business of boxing works.

If it was my choice, Floyd would be fighting Cotto in September instead of rematching Oscar. But I'm intelligent enough to realize that money talks.

See it is not about the money. You are believing everything he says. Floyd could be fighting 3 times a year and making triple the money. Boxing is about being the best, and Mayweather is riding every single one of his fans from the rear and they are taking it. He has no issue fighting the Baldamir's when there was a belt he wanted. So are you going to tell me Cotto is suddenly too low of a paycheck?

He is afraid of getting beat. He is avoiding fighters who have the potential to beat him. If that guy who ODLH is fighting next, somehow performs a miracle and beats Oscar, guess who will be next in line? He is a scavenger feeding on the small and the old.

Floyd made the biggest purse of his career at that time when he fought Baldomir. He wasn't just fighting for the belt, he was fighting for more than 8 million dollars. That was the biggest paycheck available to him at that moment. Oscar wasn't ready to give him a shot yet, and Cotto hadn't even fought at 147 yet, and hadn't really made a name for himself yet.

On that note, I am all argued out (I'm too old I guess!hehe). Good Game Sweat Pea ;D You outlasted me on this one!hehe

You earned REP for sticking to your guns. I respect that!

I hate to sound like a dick but this thread REALLY attracted the slow of mind.

Does it matter to me what Mayweather makes? No, it doesn't. But we live in a capitalistic society based on money, and I'm sure we can all understand the longing for money. We can understand that Floyd would, like any of us, perfer a larger sum of money to a smaller sum of money. Yes, I would rather Floyd be fighting Cotto, but I can't fault him for rematching DLH for more money because it is a good business decision.

Yeah I'd love to see Floyd fight Cotto instead, just like I'd love for FutureShop to sell me that nice 46" Sony Bravia HDTV for $500. But I'm not going to fault them for not doing so.

Yeah I said that earlier. A good business decision on his part, shitty one for the sport. But he could have made more money if he fought twice this year. Wow that would have been a better business decision.

If you want to continue to believe that Cotto would not generate enough money for him, fine. Don't be surprised when your master keeps dancing around the subject well after the next DLH fight, pondering retirement, then decides to defend against another low risk opponent instead of a current true welterweight champion.

If Floyd beats Oscar, Cotto remains undefeated, and Floyd STILL doesn't fight him, then I guarantee that you will see many Floyd fans (including myself) criticize him for not taking the biggest fight out there.

We're just not at that point yet.
