Floyd needs to lose May 1st, it will be good for him and Boxing

yes, he no longer will be around to control ALL of the other fighter's decisions


atsch

 

GTFO, It's all about rankings. I could explain it, but it's too complicated for you.

 

and shane-mayweather is a terrible fight


gtfo, ur n idiot

 

It's Floyd's record of being undefeated that makes him so much more of an attraction when he acts like an *******, the haters want to see him lose and they will try to tune in hopes of this happening. This could be that time, or not lol. I don't hate Floyd any more, I said once he started fighting the best, he would earn my respect. Now he can act a fool all he want's and I could care less because now he is fighting a tough customer and I think this is what any fan or hater should want and expect and nothing more or nothing less.

 

there's a saying that goes: in the game of life, it's a good idea of having a few early losses, which relieves you of the pressure of trying to maintain an undefeated season.

floyd's 40-0 is his curse. he's too scared to risk his "0" that he robs himself the chance to prove his greatness.

 

Lol, learn a thing or two about boxing and then come back and talk to me. Dumbass atsch

 

what a load of bullocks i have read in this topic. role model? this is ****ing boxing, no ****ing candy shop, if you want to use floyd as a role model as a boxer, then that's great, because floyd is one of the boxers i would use to describe a hard working boxer who trains and lives boxing to get to where he's got, but of course you guys would probably look at some polite gentlemen who's a fat **** and **** at boxing as a role model for boxing? god, some of you guys are ****ing dumb. oh, and to the poster who says floyd doesn't risk his "0", well guess what, he's fighting oneof the best welterweights out there right now, so what else do you expect. it's either mosley or pacquiao that the fans wanted, and we got mosley.

 

Hamed lost, and promptly disappeared, and boxing lost a personality who brought in viewers and consequently suffered. Oh, his personal life also fell apart. So it was neither good for boxing, nor was it good for Hamed. Your own example runs completely counter to the statements in the OP.

 

In life guys at the top are role models for the younger generation wether we like it or not, who they are and what they do influence young followers of the sport.

Sure Floyds work ethic is to be admired, but what he does outside the ring gets as much publicity as inside.

But hey, if you want to sit your kids on your lap, point at photographs of Floyd in clubs throwing money around and say 'Kids, that's the way to be', go right ahead.

Infact, I'd guess you don't have kids do you?

 

I hope Shane wins. Lets face it. Shane/Pac is a great fight (provided Manny gets past Clottey) and easy to negotiate.

Does anybody really want to sit through that blood testing negotiating fiasco again? Because neither Floyd and Manny are backing off .

 

If you have so little skill as a parent that you have less influence over your kids than a professional boxer that they see on TV maybe three or four times a year, then you area shitty ****ing parent. You think kids are going to start banging ugly prostitutes in droves now because Tiger Woods did it too? Athletes aren't obligated to raise your kids for you.

 

No it doesn't.

I believe you're getting passion, heart and will power mixed up with humbleness.:good

 

Let me help you here, role model defenition:

"person who serves as an example, whose behaviour is emulated by others".

For example, my father is 130lbs and 5'4, never struck a pose in his life. Yet at 8 years old I'd stand in the mirror doing double bicep poses, why? Hulk Hogan.

We are influenced small/large scale regardless of parenting.

 

And emulating a body-building pose is equivalent, in your mind, to learning to treat people with disrespect and flaunt money? It is equally likely, in your mind, that a child would be as easily influenced to do one as the other? And I suppose your father had a very strict "no posing" rule that you flagrantly flaunted in your desire to be like Hulk Hogan? Because if not I don't really see how it's an example of proper parenting at all. Indeed, it seems like another pointless and ******ed non-sequitor.

Floyd Mayweather doesn't even rank anywhere near the top 100 pernicious social influences on children, and even if he did it wouldn't ****ing matter because he is a grown ass man, and can do whatever he pleases. If you don't like it then teach your kids that he's not a good guy, or limit their exposure to television like responsible parents do.

 

The OP states that someone Floyd losing would be good for both Floyd and boxing. Later in the thread you state that you felt the same way about Hamed. You liked him, then he got brash, and you thought a beating would make him humble. Instead he quit boxing and ****ed up his life, to the detriment of both himself and boxing. So....what the **** is your point?
