Floyd is a...

[Jman76]

.. Who do you expect to care about this? Sure, Floyd is a little brat, noone likes him outside of a boxing ring, why bring this up. De la Hoya is really no better though, he's as phony as a three dollar bill and doesn't have a shred of charisma in him. The guy has 0 personality. Neither of these guys possess anything to like about them outside the ring as people, imo.

de la hoya is a class act. he's a great ambasador for the sport and sets a good example.

In that he never has anything to say... Im not denying the guy fights the best, and he does nothing to take away from the sport... But he certainly doesn't have any character or personality to speak of, at least not that is real and candid. Most athletes should be seen and not heard, that was all I was saying.. And it is especially true with these two stiffs.

Oscar may be should talk less or maybe practice his lines beforehand, I agree with you there pretty much, but you can't say he isnt good for the sport. His Golden Boy promotions is doing a lot of good things for boxing as far as giving boxers pensions and retirement plans and working towards having a singularly crowned champion in each division. He does a little bit more than just do nothing to take away from the sport. As for Floyd Mayweather, I met him once in Las Vegas at Crazy Horse. I was pretty loaded as I'd been out all night partying and stumbled up to him like hey what's up man, I just wanted to say hi cuz i heard you were here and I am a big boxing fan... He was totally a nice guy, really cool. he didnt have an entourage or anything, it was just him. Well him and about every dancer in the club. He was like pull up a seat and hang out for awhile. I was even like, hey I dont want to bother you or nothin...but he actually insisted I sit down and hang with him a bit and chat. I ended up talking to him about boxing, Delahoya and the Las Vegas night life for over two hours. Mind you, this happened back in 2004. Mayweather was talking to me about how he wanted to get the fight with him then really badly because he wanted to beat him so much. I'm not sure if it is the fact that his dad was involved in training Oscar or what it was but it seems like even back then, Floyd had this drive to prove he was better than Oscar Delahoya. So I don't know. I've always thought the best way to get an idea of someone's character is to talk to them one on one. Based on what I experienced, Floyd Mayweather Jr, is a friendly and really cool guy. He didn't say or do anything to make me think otherwise.

The only problem is that...well, did you REALLY hang out with Floyd I mean if I had a chance like that, I'd get his autograph and take a few pictures with him. Any pictures ?
