    To Floyd...real equals money.

    Oscar turned out $25 million more "real" than Floyd. :dunno:

    I don't know about that. It might be true but if oscar looked like Ricardo Mayorga do you think he would have had as much success.

    He was well marketed and girls will pay to watch him becuase they think he's cute.

    That's true, I really can't disagree with that. I know Floyd also has a Jekyll/Hyde complex as well. By himself he's alright (though kinda like Zab, an accomodating prick), but his tone changes once a familiar face surfaces.

    I just meant that you can always tell that Floyd's an asshole, and it's not like he tries to hide the fact that he thinks (or in his mind, knows) he's better than you.

    Oscar sounds like a politician, always has, but gets upset when people don't buy into his bullshit. The real difference, though, is that HBO and Arum never went out of their way to "protect" Floyd's image since he never played ball, whereas both elected to forgive a lot about Oscar, who was more willing to play the Tio Tomas role for years.

    Please...

    As if I could get close. Double L's got that area quarantined to the point that Mille has to get written and verbal permission to cop a feel.

    Floyd seems like at times he tries to do the smiling nice guy image, but he can't keep it up for long without his massive egotistical side coming out.

    I think the Jay Leno appearance where Floyd did the nice guy routine that lasted about 4 minutes was a record for him in being able to do that the longest.

    Floyd's humble for 5 minutes tops...he's lucky he didn't have more time on the show.

    what i can't figure out from the interview is whether or not the injuries he's referring to are chronic, or if he's implying they'd be healed in the event of a rematch.

    seems like ODH could've beaten PBF without much trouble if he'd jabbed more. so if he's telling the truth, and would be able to throw the jab more in the rematch, i think ODH wins a decision, if not by stoppage.

    He talked about the rotator cuff before the Mayorga bout. I wouldn't say that all that is lies, but suddenly he says that he had those "problemS" and the excuses turned into crying. Now he says that he got 2 rotator cuffs fucked up and the arthritis and the PMS and the vaginal itchiness, etc. etc. :shit:

    More from the interview:

    GL: Do you think there is a need for a rematch?
    ODLH: "Obviously, with me being competitive, I would love some sort of rematch. That's just the athlete in me, but then you think about how he's going to do the same thing. He's going to go out there and box and not get hitand make it a non-interesting fight, trying to steal the fight away and that's not what the public wants to watch."



    GL: At the end of the day does that mean you're not interested in the rematch?
    ODLH: "I'll tell you one thing, I'm more interested in a Mosley-Mayweather fight. I'll you the truth, Mosley can beat him and from his experience Mosley will have no problem with Floyd if they ever fight."

    GL: When can we expect you to return to the ring?
    ODLH: "I haven't even decided yet. I'm just now full speed ahead working on promotions and other businesses outside of boxing. I really haven't given it a thought,  but I'm keeping myself in shape."

    GL: Is retirement not an option?
    ODLH: "No retirement is not an option. Not at this point. For the first time I was extremely disappointed that I came out with no bruises on my face after a fight.


    GL: If Mayweather-Mosley gets done it would have to be under Floyd's terms. If Shane was unwilling to accept a fight for 50-50, can that deal truly get done now according to Mayweather's terms?
    ODLH: "There's enough money in the pot for everyone to be happy. Can the fight be done? Absolutely. Floyd knows that we know how to promote and Mosley will promote this fight like there's no tomorrow. I truly feel deep down inside and it's no disrespect to Floyd Mayweather because I've always respected him as an athlete, but Shane Mosley will beat Floyd Mayweather. It's because of experience and I say this because I've been in there with both."

    GL: If not Mayweather, who are you looking to fight?
    GL: If it's not Mayweather what's going to be next for Sugar Shane Mosley?
    ODLH: "Mosley is willing to fight anybody and we're going to sit down with Mosley very soon and discuss those options with him. Ultimately, if you want to be the best you have to keep on fighting the best and that's the best fight out there for both of them.

    Shane should take a note from his past and not fight prior to any potential match with Mayweather.

    He took the Winky fight prior to a rumored match with Trinidad and we see how that turned out.

    I said this all along...Oscar will make Mayweather go through Mosley to get to him again. It makes cents for Golden Shower to do so. It also puts Floyd in a position where he can demand a tremendous amount of money, but if he doesn't have the financial backing to promote the fight himself, he's got to deal with Oscar and Shane on their terms.

    Despite what Floyd thinks, HBO is loyal to Oscar first and if Oscar wants Mayweather-Mosley, then that's the direction HBO will go, meaning that's what Floyd will do.

    Like all criticisms against other fighters, there's not alot staunch Fraud fans can say without entering the boundaries of complete and utter hypocrisy.

    Anyone remember Fraud's sickening quoted excuses after his first fight with Castillo?...:eeeek: the arsehole sounded like he should've been in hospital, not in the boxing ring.

    i think PBF knew his performance would be boring as shit and that's why he declared his retirement ahead of time.

    i wanna see Mosley power-box his head off and beat him down like a escaped criminal.

    Fuk that shit. Excuses are excuses. WHen you enter into the ring on fight night your ass ain't hurt. If you are hurt then don't fight plain and simple. DLH knew that his shoulders his hands and everything else was injured prior to the this fight. If he was so damn hurt where he couldn't punch then he shouldn't have agreed to take this fight. And another question why in the hell would he mention the injuried now. PBF could say that he would have prolly let his hands go had he had been allowed to wear his own gloves. I'll Holla 5000

    it's much worse to do it in the post fight interview....immediately ruining the other opponents chance to shine



    regardless, DLH's "excuses" are no suprise to anyone...leading into the fight everyone knew he was shot and full on injuries and that a victory over him meant nothing

    Reed please, :nono: that doesn't matter :nono: , ACTUALLY perhaps the pitifully dumb psychopath should've taken a month to think of some appropriate excuse. If Fraud lost a marathon, he'd say he had lung cancer, then actually be content to believe it was acceptable without anyone suspecting a thing, then he'd forget he even said it 5 minutes later :eeeek: !!..
    :eeeek: ..and to think YOU sometimes actually try to ENDORSE the shit he says!?,..you deliberately minionise his corrupt ideologies, and are subsequently fucking the sport up permenantly for the fans. :nono: enough psychophant, more ethics if you please :nono: .
