24/7 Mayweather vs Ortiz

I truly understand things from your perpective, I do not agree with how he spoke to his father and I am respect manners, honour and integrity. I just wanted you to understand it is not always accurate to base how a person is on a few extracts we view in videos past, present or future.

I'm not here to defend him because I don't really know him. for example I might like the way Cotto conducts himself in conferences, but this is a man who admits he cheated on his wife....should I now say that he is a scumbag. All I'm saying is things are not as clear cut as he's dumb or he's smart. He's human.

In addition, him and his father have real issues but he is the star so people judge him more.
(Good thread though)

 

I was so touched by your sentiment, my mucous starts rolling down too. :blurp

 

He tells you straight up that he has paid for all the **** he owns and is not in dept. How many have these big houses and fancy cars but will be paying for all of it for the rest of their lives.

 

there's just no love for papa!

 

Intelligent ? Probably not all that. But, he can brag all he wants about his ` money`. It hasn`t bought him a nickels worth of class... His talent in the ring doesn`t make up for his ignorance as a human being. If this is an example of the best we have in the sport, no wonder boxing`s in trouble...

 

What a truly classy family... Should we be suprised he talks to his Father that way ? This is a world champion who puts his fists on women...

 

just look at the expression of mayweather sr. if you know how to read people's faces you will know what i'm talking about.

i'm a father also you know. i dont want that to happen to me.

oh well im just a filipino.

 

look, like you (I suppose) I follow boxing since a long long time and I have seen enough too tell you "floyd is stupid", "tyson is stupid". it simply is that way. even the great muhammad ali wasnt the most intelligent and he said it himself. a great speaker, a great boxer, a good man, but not the most intelligent. and boxers dont have too, I respect that. but being the age floyd is, acting the way he always did, is just awful. I know "money" is his persona and is all about the ppv, but believe me, not everything is acted and when your main hobby is putting youtube vids online where you show us every month your new cars and jewelry and than I say "you stupid" no matter if it was jr. or any other dude.

 

this is very important message when you had an arguemant with your father. also he seems too repeatly saying this without any reaason every now and than, he must be stupid

 

you are not into the mayweather telenovela bigboy?

 

good post

 

his ring intelligence is the opposite of dumb

 

the point he was making with the paid for cars (for those who don't get it) is simply that he doesn't owe anything to anyone including his pops....

 

I guess PBF already cycled out the steroid in his system during "vacation" to pass his USADA test but the side effect is still very strong...

 

Good to see an insight in to Ortiz's life and training.

I'm all for the, "You shouldn't speak to blood like that"...but people also need to remember that you can't choose your family. From what I have seen, Mayweather Sr has brought nothing but trouble and bad press to the Mayweather name...I'm not saying that's a good reason to speak to your father like that. But people are acting like fathers and sons don't ever argue.
