    First of, I think Mayweather is a great, great boxer and I think he would beat Pac if they ever fought. Obviously I don't like his cherrypicking during large parts of his later career, and I do believe that he wants no part of Pac. Mayweather should also have a loss on his record (Castillo I).

    Now, Money has been dissing Pac for having losses on his record. At the same time, that was no problem for him when he faced other opponents like Mosley, JMM, DLH and pretty much everybody else..
    The biggest hypocrisy however is that Mayweather has been put on record saying that his toughest fight to date has been Emmanuel Augustus - a fighter who had 16 losses on his record by the time they fought. Of course Augustus is FAR better than his record indicates, and most of these losses were robberies (Floyd addresses this too), but still.. how does that compare to him putting Pac on blast for having losses on his record?

    Here's the clip about Floyd saying that Emmanuel Augustus was his toughest fight:

    IMO, there's nothing wrong at all with having losses on your record - if you're having a lot of fights and always fight the best, you will eventually lose fights. Most of the old-time ATGs and legends had quite a few losses on their records.

    PS: note James Toneys praise for Augustus at the end of the clip. For those claiming that Toney gives no fighter but himself any credit..

    I just wanted to know your thoughts about Floyd claiming that Pac is a bum because he has a couple losses while at the same time saying that his toughest opponent to date was Emmanuel Augustus - who had 16 losses.

    Floyd is a babbling baboon. He contradicts himself more than anyone in the sport. I dont even understand why people pay attention to what he says anymore.

    You entire point is flawed given that Mayweather never claimed that Pac is a bum. He's stated on several occasions that he thinks Pacquiao is a good fighter. Pointing out Pac's losses is just a way for Mayweather to point out Pac's flaws, reassure himself and place doubt in Pacquiao's mind.

    Mayweather doesn't think Pacquiao is a bum. Far from it.

    He thinks Pacquiao is so exceptional, that it's almost as if he's on drugs! He even acknowledged himself that Pacquiao at the moment is extraordinary.

    Very true. Floyd own words..."You dont go from ordinary to extrodinary" He claims there is no way someone can be that good without the help of PED's.

    BTW- what's with these biased mod's? I wrote something unfavorable but true about Floyd a few months ago, and they took away my abilty to create threads.

    Understand this: Floyd is talking ****. You can't apply logic to **** talking. What's Floyd supposed to say. "Hi Mr PAcman, you got a lot better after your two ko losses in 3 rounds to guys that were not that good, but that's ok...you were in there tough before Morales easily beat you but hey Pac...that's ok..have a good day" lol...

    Floyd just points out that Pac has losses as a reason for why he should be considered better than Pac. He's never said he doesn't want to fight Pac because Pac has losses.

    How about instead of flapping his gums, just get in the ring and show the world that Pac is **** instead of just saying it.
