Life is getting a little better for the Mayweathers

[bradlee180]

As far as I can remember, Floyd has only one conviction?

from the Las Vegas Review-Journal
Boxer in Obama's corner - News - ReviewJournal.com :

"But Floyd Mayweather Jr. is also a convicted batterer with a history of arrests in Las Vegas and elsewhere.


In 2004, Mayweather was convicted on two counts of battery for punching two women at a Las Vegas nightclub the previous year. He was given suspended prison sentences, $1,000 in fines and ordered to complete impulse control counseling.


Mayweather in 2002 pleaded guilty to two counts of domestic violence in one case and battery in another.


In 2005, a jury acquitted him of a third domestic violence charge, a felony, after his accuser changed her story.


He reportedly was convicted of battery in his hometown of Grand Rapids, Mich., and he has also been the subject of civil lawsuits accusing him of battery."




lil $#!t-snap wouldn't fight the most dangerous top guys like Cotto, Margarito, Pacquiao, Paul Williams, Casamayor, etc.

Instead he cherry-picked 2nd tier guys like jesus chavez, carlos hernandez, demarcus corley, victoriano sosa, baldomir, etc, and somehow convinced people that he was a Great fighter while ducking all the best.


Cotto on maywetaher's handpicking, sidestepping and excuse-making:
"That's the thing he does for his entire career. He run from the really good boxer kind, he choose the others. I don't know how the people who know about boxing put him in the first place in the pound-for-pound champion." - Miguel Cotto.

5 foot 105 lbs Ivan Iron Boy Calderon on mayweather:
"After I win my fight at the Garden on Saturday night, I'm going for Floyd Mayweather Jr. next, since he only wants to fight guys smaller than him." -- junior flyweight champ Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon, mocking the former welterweight champion, who has never faced an elite 147-pounder in his prime and is coming out of retirement to face lightweight champ Juan Manuel Marquez on July 18.


Big George Foreman:
"But who is Mayweather? He's a nobody...There is no way I would consider him to be the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. He is good but he made a fool of himself against Oscar De La Hoya. He was in the greatest fight of his career and he just ran and ran like a chicken. De La Hoya brought that fight to him all night but I didn't like his style and the way he approached the fight."


Larry Holmes on maywetaher:
"This guy is a little asshole."

Switch the topic to Manny Pacquiao and Holmes lights up.
"I'm proud of Pacquiao for all he's doing. I think Manny brings a lot of excitement to the ring and makes people want to see his fights. Best thing Manny ever did was getting connected with Freddie Roach as his teacher, his trainer."
Holmes said Roach laid the fistic foundation for Pacman just as his own early career tutors did for him.
"Freddie Roach...he's been there," Holmes said. "Freddie was trained by Eddie Futch. I was trained by Ray Arcel and by Freddie Brown. I also had Eddie in my corner sometimes. I had the greatest minds in boxing working with me."

Lennox Lewis on Pacquiao. Lewis takes verbal jab at maywetaher:
"He makes it very exciting to watch. It's like you know he’s not gonna run around. You know he’s trying all the time and there's a lot of action. You know he's not a dirty fighter. He's tough, and it's this great intensity just watching the fight. I wish every fight was like that for a fan.”



Paul Williams on maywetaher and Pacquiao:
"I don't think Floyd Mayweather will fight me anytime. Manny Pacquiao, he might do it, he might step up but not Floyd.
I guess Floyd won't fight me because I don't have a vagina."
