Recent Mayweather Interview on Brain Damage in Boxing

What he should have said was, I made my biggest payday with Oscar De La Hoya, not the other way around.

 

At the end of the day, i followed shane mosely and he didt talk like that in the past. It is really taking a toll on him. Just like frazier... And floyd said it best in his interview. You can talk how much you want to stand in and just swing like a mad man "for the fans" but watch shane mosley 5 years after he retires and you let me know what the fans do for him when he needs help.

 

And Eric Morel. And Antonio Tarver, who's not officially retired. And there are members of the '84 (Holyfield) and '88 (Jones) teams who still aren't retired.

 

:thumbsup He would have more respect not acting like an idiot.

 

The only brain damage floyd should worry about is the brain damage he'll receive from Shane's right hand.

 

yeah and that is just the US team he is talking about. Wladimir was in the 96 olympics too and there are probably others that I cant think about. I was thinking about Jones in 88 but damn I didnt realize that Holyfeld was 84 I didnt think about it. That is crazy he is still fighting

 

I disagree. A true interviewer should not be in the business of being 'liked'. You are supposed to be an objective person asking questions (at least in theory).

There is nothing wrong when things get heated as long as the questions are fair and the person is given the opportunity to respond.

There are certainly honest answers here, like he does not like getting hit. But that is well known already. PBF is right about protecting his brains from unnecessary punish.

He could have certainly asked more relevant questions by doing some follow up. But it seems the interviewer is not interested in that.

To PBF's defense, he is not the most articulate person, even of his own opinions and POV.

 

so you wish brain dammage upon floyd or any boxer for that matter?

 

Yes.

 

Floyd is saying what I been telling yall every since he ran in the ring against floyd and yall said floyd was scared to fight him. Shane dosent need this fight unless hes broke. He already has a Haze over his eyes the guy is in tough fight after fight. Forget the Legacy of trying to Topple Mayweather. You already in a bad space because of damage and you want to take on the most accurate in the business? Floyd dosent hit as hard on fighters because he dosent try to kill you but thats worse because your getting snuck with hooks and leads for 36 minutes
if he was to hit anyone of us with that repeated right it will be like mini car crashes in our brain. Even if shane wins I feel bad for him because he wins only in a war, and hes not gonna ko this guy his 0 means to much.

I dont think he disrespected shane I think shane needs to understand its time to hang em up even if he still got it and thats hard. He is the WW champion of the world and beat the most dangerous guy in his division
I dont expect him to Quit with speed thats almost the equal of the fastest man in the sport and Power that only few escapes and survive through.
Its Real yall Shed your tear now. 10 years from now you will see how Shane is affected by these desions on a HBO special like we watched ALI, Liston, Robinson, and so on...
I dont want him to fight may and if he does beat may I dont want him to fight Pac but he will....is the glory that important?

 

No one can call Mayweather stupid when it comes to his boxing career. But we have heard RJJ say the same thing when he was at the top. How he will retire soon, or how he just wants 50 wins, or how he doesn't want to take punishment in this sport which is why his style is what it is. Now look at him, taking the punishments that he does, nearly getting put into a coma. Things change when your prime leaves you and you can't do what you used to. It's a difficult thing to deal with. But Mayweather has the right style to go on in boxing, just like how Toney has that style to still be effective at his age.

 

you out of line luke cut it out for real

 

Look at what I said vs what he tried to imply I was saying.
How the **** else would I answer that?

You don't lead me into a statement just to make me look like a horrible human being.

 

not a boxing fan then ?

 

i think holyfield is the last active fighter to fight a 15 rounder:-(
