Mayweather: More trouble with the law?

[p4pking]

I just don't understand people like Floyd Mayweather. With all that money, influence and the freedom to be whatever he wants, it just astonishes me why he would want to keep getting himself in trouble. It's like the little voice in the head telling you to stop just doesn't function when it comes to Mayweather.

If he wants to beat up a woman or rob a bank, he should play a computer game like the rest of us. He's going to end up like his father the way he's going.

I think you've just got think for a second about how he got all that money, influence and freedom. Strictly by being better at beating people up than the next uneducated spawn of criminals and drug addicts. In this case there is every difference between having money and growing up with any sense or morality, just because it tends not to happen that way doesn't say a thing about Mayweather or his sport, really. Boxing, of all things, is very specific that way I think. The man has literally never experienced anything but profit from being violent, egotistical and deranged. In practically any other walk of life he's the kind of person who winds up dead or at least a complete failure.

Very good points. I guess how you grow up becomes an inescapable part of who you are. In Floyds particular case, he has got away with being a dick a fair bit and the boxing lifestyle and warped family situation would have only added to his character defects. I would have to assume that part of him felt untouchable too. It all seems to be accumulating now though and I am beginning to doubt that we will ever see a Pacquiao fight.

Floyd should take a leaf out of the Pacquiao book and just not turn up to be tried. After all if he refuses to go to court, he can't be tried and therefore must be innocent.

And so it was written by the great god of floyd nuthuggers

'Anytime you can't defend Floyd and all the question marks surrounding his actions and opponents, go and attack Manny Pacquiao to try and take the heat off or steer the conversation away.'

What's good for the goose. If it's ok for the pac fans then it shouldn't be any different from me.

Plus I'm not trying to steer the critisism from Floyd. That boy's looking at time for doing very very stupid things. BUT it's out of the ring activity. No ones critisizing what floyd does in the squared circle.

True. He just gets criticized for what he DOESN'T DO in the squared triangle, that is fight certain boxers.

And that's fair enough. But floyd isn't the only one to have avoided potentially difficult fights. Saying that though mosley was meant to be tough, floyd dominated. Oscar at 154 was meant to be tough, floyd dominated. And those are just two examples. Floyd is a long way from perfect and he only has himself to blame for his troubles with the law outside the ring. but how many other fighters can that be applied to? ALOT!

Ouch! THAT one must've hurt.

Very good post there, p4pking.

Listen, just a short bit here that says so much about family background.

Everyone has heard the convicted drug trafficker Floyd Sr talking about getting shot in the leg by a family member while he was holding 1 year old Floyd Jr in his arms, right?


I'm a father, I have a 5 year old daughter. Most decent fathers such as myself would do whatever it takes to protect one's young child, right?
If someone was pointing a gun at me, I would put my body between the gunman and my kid. Maybe try to convince the gunman to let the child at least leave the premises, something to protect the child, keep the child safe.

Instead of that, Floyd Sr picked up little Floyd and put little Floyd between the gunman and his own mangy carcass. He used 1 year old Floyd as a human shield to save his own worthless neck.

That action says worlds about the maywetahers.

Even as a coach, other than lil Floyd, who did Sr ever develop? What did he ever do?
He's an ex-con, unprofessional, tardy, bull$#!t artist who convinced some people that he was a good coach (which he isn't.)

Look how quick he abandoned Ricky Hatton and left the ring without even checking on unconscious Hatton's condition.
Guy wasn't on time for training sessions, making a world-class man like Hatton cool his heels waiting in the gym, and Hatton was paying this tardy unprofessional ar$ehole 10%?!
Hatton should have went with the other choice that his people were looking at, Ron Lipton, a real fight-coach with class and standards.

It might have allowed him to go at least a few more rds with Pacquiao before getting knocked out at least!

Excellent point Bradlee.

Floyd Sr is a homosection.
