The Mayweather Merchant Spat

They are and so me and Larry are part of the zeitgeist in modern boxing. The boos were from the arena and the boards and the flipflopping between huggers and none huggers. To a degree we respresent the Larry is cool brigade. It's only Flomos that really see no issue with what Floyd did.

I genuinely have no idea what your post means. Could you repeat it again in English please?

Basically that me and Larry are right and I think this captures the majority of views. Larry was right in calling out FLoyd, otherwise a controversial moment would have been given no coverage.

Thanks Miles - I agree that Floyd was out of order in his response and even if angry should have refrained from profanity. Merchant should have kept his mouth shut though as he made himself look a right idiot by threatening to kick floyd's ass 50 years ago. He only did that because he knew that his age protected him from any physical consequences of his actions.

The post here that I really disagree with is Bilbo's idiotic claim that Floyd should be banned from boxing and prosecuted in court for threatening behaviour. Ironically, by acting so disproportionately because of his anger he is acting exactly like Floyd did, which makes me laugh as I can guess how much he'll love being told that his behaviour is identical to that of a man he holds in such high esteem.

Chris Arreola got banned from boxing for six months for this. You tell who me acted worse?

Floyd is a role model for millions of youngsters, especially black youth's. He should be made an example of to show that kind of behaviour is not acceptable for anybody.
