And Kellerman I just don't like him

Screw Floyd and Merchant. Merchant is a dick, and a negative sucker. Dunno why Floyd flipped out, becus Merchant has been kissin his ass pretty good in recent years. I got no sympathy for Merchant, he is a condescending sucker. Really I don't like Jim, Manny or Merchant. Although Lampley does make the fights exciting sometimes, he is the one who really doesn't know anything about boxing.

Someone had to say it.

I think Jim Lampley is ok. Steward is good because you know he knows his shit. He's like the Yoda of boxing now that Cus D'mato is dead and Angelo Dundee and Eddie Futch are about two steps from being dead. Max K, he is kinda annoying sometimes; i dont know about him. I like it when Roy Jones comments because i think he's funny. Merchant is entertaining just cuz he gets people riled up and he says some stupid drunken shit sometimes that is good for a laugh. Otherwise he's pretty much a dick. I would say James Toney would be an entertaining commentator but he's kinda hard to understand sometimes. And in his case i dont think it has much to do with being hit. I just dont think he knows how to talk too articulately. He's a character though, i love that dude.

Merchant was asking question we all want to know. Oscar Delahoya said the same thing recently. He said he wants to be in the top ten p4p again, and Oscar then added, but he will not get in the top ten p4p by fighting guys like Baldomir and Gatti. The truth comes out by a true legend of the sport who fought them all. When Hearns and Leonard or Delahoya came out years ago starting their careers I thought, how good are these guys they have not fought anyone. But then they proved it by fighting everyone. Hearns record is a whos who of the 70s and 80s welts to middleweights and even lightheavys. Oscar fought everyone from 135 to 160. instead of getting mad at an old man in Merchant, Floyd should get to fighting great fighters. Merchant was correct to challenge him.

I'm not bashing on Floyd anymore.

Truth is Mayweather would prefer to fight more on the inside, However his hands are really fucked from my understanding , Floyd had to move more in the Baldo fight because of the intense pain early in the fight. the talk of retirement has more to do with his hands than anything else. I can totally understand where he is coming from. when watching the fight you can see openings he didn’t take because it would hurt him more to land a punch then it would Baldo to take it. what’s he going to do? if you got bad hands you got bad hands. I am all for him retiring if he can't perform to the best of his ability. And I respect him for it !

nice one. . . i find PBF a little uptight and teste, but as a boxing fan that doesn't bother me. so long as he is sweet in the ring, as a great boxer, i'll be happy to see him take out the competition and become a true great.
