I boxed and and I still think Floyds move was low class. I'll give him one thing, he wins fights one way or another but that won't earn him respect. The fighter I respect would suck it up and give Ortiz the beating of a lifetime, just because he misbehaved. And guess what, he does not respect you, if he would he wouldn't do what he did. Do you think that Big George was watching the fight at home and he claped his hands in joy after seeing the ending? Please... I won't touch the race thing, it's pathetical.
Mayweather is a shithouse end of! Talent is wasted on him, he's a classless ***** and has **** all dignity, Merchant was asking the question we all wanted to hear and pissy boy Floyd couldn't handle it. Boxing will be richer when this Sugar Ray wannabe realises his self proclamating tosspot antics ain't wanted and he ****s off into oblivion where he belongs. As for Forman, he would have been disgusted by the ****s trick Mayweather pulled and pissy boy would never have had the balls to front up verbally with Forman or Lennox for that matter and neither would any of his nuthuggin security enterage. Do us all a favour Floyd **** off!
I don't think that Larry Merchant is racist, but he does seem to have a special antagonism against brash fighters. He's had run in's with Hamed, RJJ and PBF in the past and I don't think BHop cares for him either. As for the question posed, Mayweather has more respect for Foreman because he was a Champion and Foreman as a former fighter would know not to deminish a fighters accomplishment in the ring right after the fight. Foreman would have known that the punch was legal and wouldn't have pushed the issue in the ring, thus the incident never occurs.
