what i find amusing is that the most objectionable foe mayweather jr has faced the past 4 years flat out schooled one of mosleys opponents in the same time frame.
Again, I wouldn't be surprised. At this point, the only thing that would surprise me regarding PBF is if he faced Cotto, Mosley, Clottey or even Margarito. PBF/JMM is an intriguing fight. But only because it will tell us whether JMM can carry 140+ pounds and still be effective. But the intrigue is in spite of PBF's involvement. PBF's legacy will be crap. I don't blame him for wanting to make the most money possible. I just blame him for talking so much shit without even facing the best fighters in his division. He can't have it both ways. Either he can go after as much money as he can fighting carefully picked opposition and live with not being the best fighter in his division, or he has to prove himself against the best. This business of him facing guys like Judah, Hatton and now JMM, and still maintaining that he's the best in the world is nauseating. It's like RJJ all over again.
you are not very bright. you realize he only wants money fights, yet it wouldnt surprise you if he fought david estrada? :notallthere:
it's not strictly money fights he wants. he's more focused on the risk/reward ratio. if HBO or even Showtime would foot the bill for a crap fight against the likes of Estrada, you can bet PBF would take it. you think you have it all figured out, but there's just too much you can't see.
He's not entirely wrong, Floyd wants the most money for the least risk. Why else would he be fighting Marquez? It certainly does nothing for his legacy, it's not the biggest money fight he could have got, but it IS the most money for the least risk.
whether its the biggest money fight is not the issue. its a money fight, and its a tune up. mayweather jr wont be taking any non money fights anytime soon. unless he starts accumulating losses, and is in need of money.
:bears::bears: What difference does it make now? Mosley-Judah is off so the thread is gonna die anyway. At least now it'll last a few extra posts.
Don't Waste your Time on that Dude, Lb 4 Lb...REED has LITERALLY Seen where he Said his "Favorite Athlete" was the And 1 Mixtape Hooper, HOT SAUCE... When Dealing w/THAT Level of IDIOCY, Don't Even Allow Yourself to Get Bent Out of Shape about his Remarks... REED:hammert:
The last time we debated boxing you was telling me Hatton is a great body puncher and will be a tough fight for Manny Pac. Your only on Shanes dick because he looked at you in an arena. Next time Floyd is in Dallas you can get back on Floyds dick faster than Leonard Ellerbe.
Floyd can fight a fighter who gives Pac hell and it's simply a tune up. Floyd is greater then i thought he was. Marquez has never been a tune up for no opponent and probably never will. He is that great.
1st of All, there's NO Such Thing as "Debating" Boxing w/YOU...THE ONLY Time U Even Bother to Post on a Topic is if it Fits your NUTHUGGERISH/HATERISH Pattern... 2nd, REED has ALWAYS Liked Sugar Shane...Has NATHAN to Do w/Snapping his Pic...Shit, REED Snapped a Pic of Freddie Roach Too, but REED Certainly ISN'T a Fan of His... 3rd, REED is STILL a Fan of Floyd, but Unlike YOU, REED Would Actually Like to See Floyd CLEAN OUT 147 or @ Least SOME of It...But like the Good Little Nuthugging, Jizz Slurping SCRUB that U R, U BLINDLY JUSTIFY ALL of Floyd's Actions, Even as Other Welters Face Each Other... Don't Get Mad @ REED Because he Called U Out on Liking a MAKE BELIEVE Basketball Player...HOT SAUCE???!!!!...Listing HIM as your "Favorite Athlete" is THE Most JUVENILE Shit REED has EVER Heard... REED:laughing:
A crack in the Mayweather faithful? Prior to Moneyless May's retirement I said many times he'd be back due to money and you were convinced that not only would he not comeback, he was a smart businessman and wouldn't need the money.
it appears i was incorrect about his business affairs. but i still highly doubt he'll ever get to the point where he's taking difficult fights for 1 or 2 million bucks. then again the wisest business decision mayweather jr ever made was making sure not to wed any shameless asian skeezoids
:::: I've already said before that he should ask Cupey to change his user name to FloydMaywthrJrp4pno1.
after two difficult fights w/ Antonio Tarver....P4Pounder Chad Dawson will be fighting future hall of famer and fellow p4pounder "Sugar" Shane Mosley who also has impressive wins over Antonio Margarito, Fernando Vargas, Ricardo Mayorga and pot of cash of boxing Oscar De La Hoya. And who was involved in a back and forth war w/ the young puerto rican lion Miguel Cotto..... Man that Chad Dawson surely is better than i though he was taking the dangerous Shane Mosley as a return tune up fight..... and in other news... Battle of the Ricans...Miguel Cotto to face #9 P4Pounder Ivan Calderon at a catchweight of 145.....and in a battle of the crazy chicanos former middleweight Fernando Vargas is set to fist it out w/ Chris "The Nightmare" Arreola.....
JMM hasn't fought at 147 before has he? You can spin it any way you want if it makes you feel better about your hero. The truth is Floyd took a safe fight.
I must say REED, you are far less of a Floyd nuthugger than I ever gave you credit for. I like your take on Floyd these days.
Floyd Started to Rub REED the Wrong Way w/the Whole "Money May" Thing (During Dela-Mayweather 24/7)...Actually, Seeing Young Black Fighters in Dallas NEGATIVELY INFLUENCED by Floyd's "Money May" Image is what Rubbed REED the Wrong Way.... Carrying THOUSANDS of Dollars in a Fucking BackPack, Making it Rain in Strip Clubs, etc.:shit:...People who REALLY have Money (Dela, Warren Buffet, Bill Cosby, LeBron James, etc.) DON'T Go Around Doing Shit like that...Floyd Behaves VERY MUCH like a CHILD that just Won the Lottery & is Now Standing in the Middle of his Favorite Toy Store...It's NOT Enough just to HAVE the Money, he's Gotta FLAUNT it in People's Faces... Then the RETIREMENT REALLY Bothered REED Because REED (& the Rest of the Boxing World) KNEW it was a BULLSHIT Retirement All Along:shit:... Above All That, Floyd REALLY Thinks He Can Pick & Choose WHO he Fights AND his Place in History...Doesn't Work that Way...Shane Mosley has Been an ELITE Welter Loooooooooooooooooooooooonger than Floyd Has...Cotto's Been Elite ALMOST as Loooooooooong...Manny Pac's Out There Now, Paul Williams Has Been Out There... REED SUPPORTS JM Marquez as a Comeback Opponent for Floyd, but the NEXT Opponent will Go a Looooooooooooong Way Towards HELPING or HURTING Floyd's Legacy...He Simply HAS to Fight 1 of the Aforementioned Names.... REED:kidcool:
Floyd will get to the point he'll be HAPPY for 1 or 2 million bucks. i can't name one fighter who had that kind of lifestyle who was able to maintain it post boxing. Foreman wasn't that flashy and he made his fortune during his second career...after coming back for money. Floyd is such an asshole, he won't get get the sympathy benefit of the doubt Tyson received.
If he does it'll either be for money or for trying to correct the mistakes he made by thumbing his nose at his legacy. I agree he's living way to flamboyant for his own good. I respect that he's paid for his house, that is smart I just hope he paid the taxes on it.
