WTF was with some of Mayweathers low class comments last night on 24/7?

It's clearly an act to just wind people like Daxx & Miles up to see him get beat. He played the nice guy for years & it got him nowhere.

I have to say the funniest thing is people saying he's going 'too far' with this stuff, talking about 'fucking Mosley up'. Er... this is boxing not tiddlywinks, of course they're going to talk like that.

Even though all the 'hate' is clearly for the cameras, it still ratchets up interest in this fight. I can't wait for Saturday.

I know it's not tiddlywinks, but Floyd annoys me when he says stuff like that and that's the only kind of thing you ever hear him say. Mosley gets 'fucked up' because takes on EVERYBODY. And there is Floyd who picks and chooses and ducks and dives and has the audacity to call himself the greatest of all time? He is not a SRR nor an Ali, not by a long shot. Neither is he a Cotto, or a Mosley, nor even a Pacquiao. The guy is a sham in that regard. These are fighters who will fight proper opponents fight in fight out (though I do have some reservations about Pac). Floyd openly admits that he doesn't give a hoot about legacy and only money. You know what, I believe him when he says that. I don't believe being a complete cretin is the way to build a fanbase nor influence people. I don't like ODLH, but he didn't need to build up his fanbase by 'pretending' to be a vile excuse for a human being. I don't believe it is all an act.

Then he's got you hook, line & sinker. I've seen how Floyd Mayweather is when dealing with his fans and other people when he came to London and it was a stark contrast. This was a guy who very clearly did care about his fans, he spent ages signing stuff for people who'd waited hours to catch a glimpse of him. I'm amazed that for such an astute guy you haven't caught onto this. Shane Mosley is a nice guy (apart from being a drug cheat of course ), why doesn't he have the following & exposure Mayweather does??

Also given he's fighting Mosley, it would be tough to say he hasn't got a legacy that stands up with the best. It does as does Manny Pacquiao's.

Well, maybe he's got me because I just don't see the need to carry on like he does. He has the 24/7's to present himself and all he does is show himself to be a low quality human being. I don't know of any other fighter that has so consistently shown himself to carry out the same 'persona' over so many 24/7's. You don't see DLH, Hatton or Pacquiao needing these 'bad guy' alter ego personas to sell fights. It all leads me to think that Floyd is being just as real as the others have been. I'm sure Floyd has his nice side like everyone does, but I have rarely ever seen it nor been convinced when I have seen the glimpses through television.

Floyd fighting Mosley is a serious step up for him and for that he does deserve some credit. I think there are serious holes in his record of the past several years from JWW and above, but this is a proper fight.
