Floyd showing nothing but pure class this go around

[KananKrus]

I like to think tho', that the new Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a direct result of the maturity that has finally found him as a willing partner, at this particular stage in his life. (bar the skating rink incident, LOL. Everyone is entitled to a benefit of a doubt, fellas!).

Looking at the world (boxing) around him, must have made him find a new appreciation at what his peers have all been doing, and the direct, positive results that respectively, have since enriched their lives.

This is one form of envy that can only have but all things positive written all over it! No shame in it Floyd Jr.!

I wonder though, why he is contemplating a switch to wrestling!

Contradictory?.... How about that?

[JT Rock]

Just an observation, seems to be more real and candid instead of falsely being brash.. I think Floyd's learning that once you settle in to your own people are more supportive of you

Still seems real brash to me. Bragging about his home ("it's all paid..."), rolling dice with wads of cash with his family, still being connected to crimes. Nothing seems to have changed with Mayweather at all. So he was filmed giving food to homeless. Not very sincere. He basically was throwing it at the homeless like you throw food at animals at the zoo. Marquez was/is much more humble and real to me.

dude your just being a hater... So Floyd cant play dice with his family and have a sense of accomplishment in his life. Obviously money means alot to him, maybe your like me and you have no desire to be rich and live in the fast lane but he is doing what he pleases with his hard earned cash.

As far as Floyds charity work, unlike most I read all the Mayweather news not just the hate fuel that circulated, I have been aware of his charity work and giving back for a while now enough to know that clip on 24 wasnt a one time PR stunt..

My point of the thread was, he has been more fan friendly, been cordial and less surly with his brashness to the media(excluding Brian Kenny which you can tell had a bit of showmanship by both parties) and HASNT said a disparaging word about Marquez nothing but respect and class. Even Roger hasnt said a peep about Nacho.

Very nice promotion, hope this is what Floyd chooses to stay with, its the real him and is a great balance between being respectful and showcasing his flashy lifestyle. He is gaining in popularity you can tell and will probably start solidifying it more if he dominates JMM in an exciting way. I think that will sway the people even more.

If both can get past their opponents you have the perfect stage set for a Pac PBF showdown, because of how nauseating SOME of Pac's fans can be coupled with Roaches opportunistic caniving to put Pac's opponents at a disadvantage I can see Floyd getting a big push in popularity and support

[Bomp]

it always was showmanship from him, he's a decent guy IMO. They are one SERIOUSLY dysfunctional family though, it's brilliant television.

[Kel]

What class? He is just an actor, he ain't ever been 'real' that's his fucking major downfall. The guy is a wank stain

[fan johnny]

Astonished, dumbfounded, disbelief, a deer frozen by headlights... Will the real Floyd Mayweather Jr. please stand up!

I think the general population doesn't buy the good guy act. Probably because its a 180 degrees in persona change. He doesn't want to play the bad guy anymore? Now he wants to be loved and not hated?

I don't buy it either. It's just another side of that attention whore syndrome. Most celebrity PR's understand the importance of at least appearing to be charitable.

I do agree, it is better side of Mayweather.

[C-Lo]

I agree, he did seem more laid back. However, let's remember... there's only been one 24/7 episode so far. For all we know, HBO chose to run the footage where Floyd was most down to earth in order to show another side of him.

I do think there is one big difference though.... I think Floyd genuinely respects Marquez as a fighter, especially since Marquez spent a lot of years struggling to get recognition because he was overshadowed by Morales and Barrera. Whereas I think Floyd viewed Oscar and Ricky (rightly or wrongly) as lesser fighters who just happened to be popular with the fans and the TV networks.

I was trying to decided whether or not Mayweather was acting more classy because he respected Marquez or if he was trying to sell this as a legitimate fight because some view this as a mismatch. My gut is telling me that Floyd respects Marquez.

He has his flashy personality coming out in spots but he hasn't said anything bad about Marquez, especially comparing it with the things he was saying against Oscar and Ricky.

[shafty85]

Or are poor sales making him try to appeal to people because he is desperate ?

real doubtful.. the more he is an ass, the more people hate him, the more people pay to hope to see him get knocked out.. that's been his thing all along.

I agree. While he may have appeared to be an ass, and a loudmouth, this is what sold him (besides being an incredible fighter). Boxing is a business, and this is how he sold himself (what a whore ). Can't wait to see him fight.

[Snakefist Ar Fu]

Yeah, I guess he could go and get convicted for the 3rd time for assaulting women, which would then make it a felony in Nevada, and he could then do up to 5 years in prison.

Him and Roger could be cell mates.

I think he has gotten past all that.. No doubt his Uncle is a good trainer but deplorable human being... Floyd can move on with all that over time. Cotto has to live with that kindergarden scribble on his skin forever

Hahahahahaha!!! I really hope Cotto kicks the shiit out of you know who, Cotto earned my respect and sympathy from the handwrap incident and then showed real grit when he battled thru the cut with Clottey.

You think.


I'll admit, I don't care for the scorpion tat. One is of his kids names, don't see what's wrong with that. One is a rosary, again, I don't have a problem with that. One is just a small design on the back of his neck, again, doesn't bother me. Chinese symbol on head, hey, at least it's not like Legion's Jack in the box one.

And quite frankly, I would love the chance to trace that tribal that wraps around his leg, up his hip, and over his abs and chest with my tongue.

Don't see how that could be a bad thing.

Plus, those could be removed, or covered up, if he so choses.

I was shocked with your message when I first read it. Now I just wish I looked like Cotto.

[leftylee]

He was, is and always will be a mere prick.

I fail to see how that is a problem

Why would you be shocked btw?


Well, I guess you haven't been here long enough to understand my lust for Cotto.

Im sure Cotto is Incredibly sexy but being a guy I am not allowed to say he looks hot (Man code). If your talking about hot tatoos then you gotta go with Kessler. I would love to have a tatoo like that. Big muscular shoulders with an awsome viking warrior on it.
OK, im getting sexualy confused now. Gonna have to go watch baywatch and drink beer to man up.

dude your just being a hater... So Floyd cant play dice with his family and have a sense of accomplishment in his life. Obviously money means alot to him, maybe your like me and you have no desire to be rich and live in the fast lane but he is doing what he pleases with his hard earned cash.

As far as Floyds charity work, unlike most I read all the Mayweather news not just the hate fuel that circulated, I have been aware of his charity work and giving back for a while now enough to know that clip on 24 wasnt a one time PR stunt..

My point of the thread was, he has been more fan friendly, been cordial and less surly with his brashness to the media(excluding Brian Kenny which you can tell had a bit of showmanship by both parties) and HASNT said a disparaging word about Marquez nothing but respect and class. Even Roger hasnt said a peep about Nacho.

Very nice promotion, hope this is what Floyd chooses to stay with, its the real him and is a great balance between being respectful and showcasing his flashy lifestyle. He is gaining in popularity you can tell and will probably start solidifying it more if he dominates JMM in an exciting way. I think that will sway the people even more.

If both can get past their opponents you have the perfect stage set for a Pac PBF showdown, because of how nauseating SOME of Pac's fans can be coupled with Roaches opportunistic caniving to put Pac's opponents at a disadvantage I can see Floyd getting a big push in popularity and support

Why must I be a hater when I am simply calling it like I see it? Mayweather seems the same to me in every way. True, he is more subdued this time, but I believe that is because Marquez is not very loud, flamboyant, or media/fan friendly as Hatton was. If he was, you would see Floyd's antics/behavior more blatantly than you see them now, trying to outdo Marquez and be the loudest at the party. When Cotto beats Pac and Floyd is forced to fight him, Floyd will probably be more subdued as well since Cotto has that laid-back, professional style about him that won't incite attention starved people like Floyd.

In terms of the money issue, you can still have a sense of accomplishment without bragging about what you have. I don't see these rich celebrities bragging about what they have. It makes Floyd more unlikable IMO.

[jokaleras]

he has always done charity work fools.

So you dislike brash, flashy boxers? You must have really got irritated by Trinidad then.

When Floyd came & did an open workout session in London, he was very open with fans as you could see if you unearth Smashup's thread on it. Let's face it with some people, he could rescue babies from a burning building & people would still say he was being arrogant.

On your point, maybe he just respects Marquez more than Hatton or Oscar, guys whose popularity was disproportionate to their talent.
