    exactly but what bothers me is how is fans are trying to rationalize and make excuses for it. Also they try to divert the attention to something negative about Pac.

    "Oh its just Floyd being floyd oh and how come you fools arent bashing Manny for lying and cheating on his wife!"

    Do you have a problem saying Mayweather was wrong in saying what he did (the racism mainly)?

    What's wrong is wrong.

    Manny fighting Margo, is wrong and bad for the sport of boxing.

    And Floyd putting out a racially charged vid dosn't do the sport any favors either.

    can you agree, or do i sound biased? honestly

    Yeah Floyd is guilty of not honoring the weight for the Marquez fight, but i don't recall if they showed his weight for the Mosley fight? :huh

    The Ring Mag claimed Floyd came in at 152 for Marquez.

    i'm sure we all have, that's not the point.

    So because you and i have heard worse, is it ok for Floyd to have said what he did and make those racist remarks?

    i know you know the diff between right and wrong, why are you having such a hard time saying Floyd did wrong?

    That was at the weight in, he's referring to the night of the fight.

    Well why don't you think its possible Floyd has rehydration clauses?:huh

    I bet you would find that most of his fights before had the fight night weight shown on HBO, but the last two didn't..

    Seems obvious he has a rehydration clause to me..

    It wouldn't make sense for him to have a re-hydration clause against Marquez who is smaller than him. The reason people don't associate Floyd with re-hydration clauses is because the ONE catchweight bouts he has been in aren't meant to benefit him. He doesn't sell himself off as the little man slaying giants.
