De La Hoya's letter to Mayweather = Priceless!!! and true....

[g3org3]

Some on this forum really like to stick it to Floyd lol but you have to remember he's basically an old man well past his prime, when he was in his prime his fights were very exciting mostly ending by ko. Oscar is one of the most overrated fighters on all time how many genuine world class fighters did he beat while they were in there prime ?

Amen to that!

I bet you Oscar fought more world class fighters than Floyd ever did. The fact he may not have won is a separate point.

Yeah, maybe, maybe not, but aren't you judged by who you beat? Otherwise, someone like Zab Judah would be an ATG!

It also depends on who you did not fight or actively avoided. Floyd résumé is not all that great to be considered TBE. It is far from it.

TBE Is something invented by Floyd and most people don't necessarily believe that. But I don't think it can be denied that he is TBOHG ( the best of his generation) This avoided stuff is nonsense though. IMHO he gets judged pretty harshly in comparison to greats of the past. Floyd did make an interesting point although people hate him for it and he probably doesn't help himself.
Aged 34, Ali lost to a guy in his 7th pro fight. Floyd is aged 38, if that had happened to him, he would have been ridiculed forever and a day.
Factor in Ali's "bum of the month" European tour and it makes you think. I'm no Ali hater, I love the guy, but facts are facts.
Yet Floyd is expected to beat top p4p ers in every fight. I wasn't happy with the Berto fight, but I genuinely think he was literally just finishing off his contract, he's had a gutful.

TBE

Floyd has a perfect record 49-0.
Has been a champ for 17 years.
Moved up in weight taking on bigger champions.
Made the most money.
Made and broke records for PPV.
Managed himself after buying out his contract.
Has been hit flush only a handful of times.

Who in boxing can match those stats?

[Batman]

I always make a point of staying up and watching Floyds fights, I'm not one of these who think his shit don't stink but good god I hope he stays retired and someday maybe people will stop talking about him and will focus on the new talent that is coming through.

This forum will go into absolute meltdown if he comes out of retirement.

You missed a few more.....


Floyd had the NSAC, USADA & Vegas boxing backing him to ensure he kept his bogus 0
Floyd was also caught red handed CHEATING!!!!!!!!!!!! Receiving 750 ml of ILLEGAL saline . We all know what transgressions 750 ml would cover up don't we..
The fact the NSAC & USADA issued a statement saying " Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong" ROFL This shows they were up to their asses in the cheating themselves I'd say Don't you agree

I forgot to mention he's a pioneer in anti-doping.
He almost single handedly forced PED testing to be the norm all clean and hard working fighters now voluntarily submit to by demanding it before his fights.
A true leader in the sport!!

[g3org3]

Also forgot to say does no one remember after the Floyd vs Mosley fight Oscar saying that Floyd is possibly the best fighter there has ever been ? It's funny how Oscar now has real hate for Floyd

[erics44]

IMO Floyd has been very fortunate in his timing

yes he picked his opponents very well and if the fans had picked his opponents then his record would have been very different

I reckon the only fights that might have happened about the time they did may have been Oscar, hatton, alverez, certainly after he moved up through the weights

but I think he has been luckiest with the climate of boxing, 20 years ago there were only a hand full of countries who were really taken seriously and that meant America had many fighters at the top

nowadays America are thin on the ground with prize fighters, most of their top athletes going to other sports

floyds style in the past wouldn't have attracted fans at any time, America needed that champion tho and as a result he was catapulted much higher than he wold have ever have been in the past

We have had a gutful of him. Hope he stays retired.

[Primo Carnera]

Precisely! So why keep talking about him?

[denilson200]

Did Floyd laugh at Oscar one time when he fell in the snow or something ? Let it go Oscar. Once you've been caught wearing fishnets it pretty much impossible to ever win any argument about anything. I guess Oscar's thong is riding high up his crack.

Since when has this cross dressing, coke head alcoholic become the voice of "most" boxing fans ?

Floyd never took risks ?

1 - Moving up 5 division is not taking a risk ?

2 - Fighting p4p top 10 fighters in different divisions is not taking risks ?

3 - Fighting more then half of your fights against world champions is not taking a risk ?

4 - Cotto and Canelo the fight he is d1ckriding right now, neither 1 of them were risks ?

I guess he thinks it's easy to be a 5 weight world champion.

The salt is strong with Oscar.

Floyd retired on his feet not sitting on a stool - Oscar. On May 2 the dynamite was expected to come from Pacquiao. He was meant to be this big Tsunami who throws loads of punches from all angles. Floyd was the same guy he's been for 15 years, neutralize the opponent and school him.

Anybody that expected Floyd to be an idiot and change his whole identity for one fight is a fool. He talks about Floyd not fight Margarito. That the Margcheato who was battered by Cotto and nearly lost his eye against Pacman ? And how did Pacman and Cotto get on against Floyd..... Oscar hmmm ?

Mayweather boring ?

Pacquiao fight had a total of 18 clinches. Ali clinched Foreman 345 times. He's still the greatest right ?

A suite at the MGM, 5 grams of pure Columbia and a couple of tranny's should help him relax and come up with another 'blueprint'
