Floyd Mayweather: Ring Magazine 2007 Fighter of the year

[LEGION]

I know VD, I was just being dumb as usual. I don't understand it either.

[JT Rock]

Floyd should have got the "Carefully Chosen Opponents Award"

BoomBoom not to sound nasty here but you did post this.


if he want to be the greatest p4p fighter in many peoples eyes includng those, like myself, who doent like him he must fight and beat:
1.Ricky Hatton
2.Miguel Cotto
3.Winky Wright
4. ODLH
5. Kassim Ouma
6. Margarito

ANY ONE OF THEM. But he chooses to be a Pu$$y and take the easy road. He was great against Corrales, and Chavez but he hasnt done Shat in the last couple of years. I do give him credit if he fights and beats Baldomir. IF. But you heard it from me first: Baldomir will win a decision over PBF. Thats right, a decision.

I was joking but if you want to take me seriously, i will defend myself. When I wrote that Hatton had just beat Collazo at Welterweight and I probably assumed he would stay there but as we know he went back down to light welterweight. Floyd did beat Baldomir and that was a good win at the time imo, good but not great and maybe I overestimated Baldomir a little. Oscar was also a good win but not great and it wasnt a dominant performance imo. Floyd is a great fighter, but I dont think he hs taken on the hardest challenges. And also the thread wad about being the p4p best, and I think he is the p4p best.

I was just making a point on how people rate these fighters highly before Mayweather fights them, and they say Mayweather has to fight him and him etc. But when Mayweather beats these guys they suddenly become *Not good* *Past there prime* *Overrated* etc.

You just owned this clown and his credibility just went bye bye, and all he could say was he was joking He isint even man enough to admit he is wrong, not to mention he got caught out for hating... Be better if people like this would just admit that they are haters and there is nothing Floyd will ever do to change that, instead of being a buster and bitching out when someone calls bullshitsky... What a joke

I just can't understand why people want Mayweather to fight this guy and that guy etc. Then when he beats em then they change there mind and say he wasn't no good and etc. What is up with that ?? why can't people just give Mayweather credit he is one of the most talented boxers of all time and has one of the best records of his era.

Mayweather's best wins

Diego Corrales
Oscar De La Hoya
Zab Judah
Ricky Hatton
Jose Luis Castillo x2
Arturo Gatti
Phillip Ndou
Gernaro Hernandez
Angel Manfredy
Carlos Hernandez
DeMarcus Corley
Jesus Chavez

World titles at Super Featherweight, Lightweight, Jr Welterweight, Welterweight, Light Middleweight,

Why don't people give Mayweather some credit even if you hate him outside this ring you cannot deny his achievement's inside the ring.

CC JT and CC to Brazilian.

Why the f#ck some of you dont understand that that was a thread from a year and a half ago. Ive explained my opinion to Finito and I respect what hes saying. Why you jokers want to get your two cents in and bash my opinions is beyond me. My credibility is just fine and I could honestly give a sh@t what you think of my posts.

[WelshDevilRob]

I feel sorry for Oscar as everyone knows he beat Mayweather.

It would have been nice to see a DATE posted with that because that was posted almost a year and a half ago,I think you'll find things were a ALOT different back then firstly and secondly,I could just as easily rummage through ANYONE's posts here and use it against them simply because things were different then. That's merely propoganda. ]

Well i did post the link so you can see when it was posted. And why does it matter ?? thats perfect example of people wanting Mayweather to fight him and him etc, and when he does beat them there suddenly *No good*.

And actually i found the topic by luck i didn't look through his posts.

Not taking a run at you Gamo, but whats the point you of all people always man up when you are wrong and I have never really seen you back pedal on anything and stick with your guns when you make a statement.... I mean everyone has the right to change their opinion but even if that post is over a year old and someone made a statement like that and then Floyd beats 3 of the fighters on his list of 6 not to mention he says he'll give him credit if he beats Baldo who he predicted would desicion him......... Now fast forward a year later then he says Floyd should win the carefully chosen opponent award again after he beat 3 fighters that Boom listed as him having to beat, as to be listed as a PFP great.

Aaaaaah,you got me on that one,I put my hands up,CC. You're right,even though it was a year ago,Floyd HAS beaten 3 of the 6 and I was really really surprised at the Baldo comment. Boom Boom,you're usually a top notch poster but you have put yourself in a bit of pickle there bro. I'm harsh on Floyd but I also admit he is P4P number 1,a legend and has the greatest I've personally seen in my lifetime. So CC JT,you won me over with your points there!

[BoomBoom]

Alright let me clear a few things up, I posted the PBF comment but I really didnt expect it to cause so much contraversy, I posted it light-heartedly so I didnt think It would be taken so seriously. I do give PBF a hard time sometimes but I am not a Floyd hater. Yes, I have changed some of my opinions over the years but so have all of you. Thats what keeps things interesting. Secondly, on me thinking Baldomir would decision Floyd obviously I was proven very wrong, but at the time Baldo was coming off two big wins and I though he would be ably to bully Floyd a little and use his stregnth to outmuscle him over 12 rounds. Again I was wrong but at the same time I wasnt the only one to think Baldomir could beat Floyd at the time. A lot has changed and now we all know what happened. I think I covered everything, and if you dont understand where im coming from you never will but thats ok. I do get what some of you are saying though and posting the comment ended up being a bad move, but I dont regret anything I said.

[cockey cockney]

Floyd hands down deserved this honour....and YES i know that Cotto has had a GREAT year and fair play to him. But Remember PBF has gone up in weight to win a title at 154 against ODLH which for sure was impressive i dont care that oscar was older he still had the power and strengh advantage and PBF overcame that. Then he knocked out Hatton which i never really saw happening in a million years, and remember how many people even on here took Hatton to win that fight. So yes this is deserved IMO.

[QUISQUEYA]

IMO pavlik should of gotten it, he took over his division with his own way. He has been more dominant coming from nobody to p4p elite class. This was pavliks year, not floyds. Just cause he had a fight with dela hoya and then one with hatton, doesn't give him the year of his career. This was the year of pavliks career that made him, it should of gone to him.

The award is Fighter of the Year.....not Year of the Fighter.

Mate, what part of your post was light hearted or a 'joke'?? I can't see one part of that post that ICE quoted where it sounded like you were joking. I wasn't gonna say anything because you accused people of jumping on the bandwagon and getting their 2 cents in but dude you were dead serious lol. Why don't you just man up and just admit you were wrong? I'm sure people would give you more props for just admitting you were wrong and be done with it rather than trying to wriggle your way out? I've been wrong on tons of occasions..fuck it, its all good fun..if everybody knew what was going to happen then it would be boring...
But again..Baldomir over PBF desision WTF?? Just playin mate..that was your pick..whatever the weather lol
