His actions dent the reputation of the sport because it seems the number 1 fighter in the game is a drug taker. Not good.

    Mayweather isnt helping may i add, but i think its drawing a long bow to say that he alone is ruining boxing by himself.
    Tell me which is worse...
    Scheduling a fight at 145... and fighting at 145 and winning.
    Scheduling a fight at 144 coming in overweight against an opponent 2 divisions smaller than you and being unwilling to divulge your fight night weight!

    Granted I didn't hear a peep out of Cotto or Marquez, because they are real fighters. They know a fight is just a stack of circumstances some in their favor some not :/

    I would really just rather see Mayweather fight and stop holding up the whole boxing world up with worrying about who he fights next. I think everyone wants to fight him now because he has looked very beatable since fighting De La Hoya. Along with the multi million payday for just showing up in shape. Game's up.
    "Floyd needs to inject Xylocaine into his balls to gain the courage to fight Pacquiao."

    - and I quote from some random guy on the internet

    I noticed you said nothing about the fact Pac walked away from the fight of the decade due to not wanting to take a drug test which is far worse than anything PBF has done.

    And who exactly has Mayweather looked 'very beatable' against since fighting DLH? He has had 2 figts since then, one a KO victory and the other a complete points shut out..... Your theory is dying a painful death.
