The better side of Mayweather

[Rican]

I have never minded Floyd Mayweather Jr's silly antics before fights i know its all just BS to hype the fight anyway, to my knowledge he has always given opponents respect after the fight. He gave Hatton a lot of respect, he gave Gatti a lot of respect. But to be honest i don't really care what he does outside the ring as long as he don't kill anyone or do anything extreme, i'll always be a fan of him inside the ring and thats what boxing is all about. Of course its good to have a nice guy like Kelly Pavlik but it doesn't really matter to me, as long as they do there job inside the ring thats all that counts IMO.

Didn't Mayweather have some legal issues for domestic violence and hitting some females in a club? Do those qualify as extreme?

Yeah he had some legal problems with that.

Apparently a lot of my favorite fighters to watch in the ring could use some help when it comes to putting their hands on women.

To call Floyd Mayweather Jr. a wife-beater, is the same thing as calling Kobe Bryant a rapist.


Neither accusation was remotely close to the truth, and I'm pretty sure that the Kobe Bryant rape charge went a lot farther in the judicial system than the supposed Floyd Mayweather domestic violence charge.

In regards to celebrities and wealth blessed people, that usually means it's true without a doubt, and just proves that the celebrity/wealth blessed person has great lawyers and a lot of money to get a charge like that dropped..

However I agree with your point regarding Mayweather and a part of me hates him, apart of me knows he would be a decent person..

How he could be even relatively normal with a father like good old Roger is beyond me though..

I've heard from many sources that on a persoanl level, one to one, Floyd is as amiable a fellow as one could meet.

I've said it before here. On the Detroit leg of the De La Hoya-Mayweather promotional tour Floyd was as nice a human being as you could meet. He stayed well after Oscar had left, stayed so long, in fact, I had to leave so I could get home. There were no major newspapers around, just guys like me covering the presser for websites and such mixed in with a bunch of fans. A Mexican kid came over with a glove signed by Oscar and asked PBF to sign and at first he said he couldn't because Oscar had already. The boy looked crestfallen and said he didn't have another. Floyd considered a second and said, "Give it here," and signed it for the boy. That showed he had a bunch of class to me.

I've heard in the gym he's always the motivation. He spurs everyone on and makes it fun to be there.

I like that in a fighter.

Yeah, that would be impossible considering Floyd Sr. is his father and not his uncle Roger.

Kobe couldnt rape his way out of a wet paper bag.

Out of context, yes. It wasn't in a club, though, it was in his house. Before the Gatti fight was made, apparently, the mother of at least one of his children was breaking things in his house. He didn't hit her, he restrained her and she charged him with hitting her. Gatti used this to his advantage. PBF had to plead no contest to get the fight made; a trial would have lost him the fight. And after the fact, she admitted he never hit her. I wouldn't qualify that as extreme.
