Floyd Mayweather: A World Ambassador for Peace

From boxing.scen.e

"In 2002 he pleaded guilty to two charges of misdemeanor domestic violence. In 2004, a Nevada justice of the peace ordered Mayweather to undergo "impulse control" counseling and sentenced him to a one year suspended jail sentence after he was convicted of misdemeanor battery of two women in a Las Vegas nightclub.

Also in 2004, an arrest warrant was issued for Mayweather for failure to appear at a trial in his hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan where he was accused of kicking a bar bouncer in the head during a melee at The Radio Tavern. Mayweather pleaded no contest to the charge of misdemeanor assault and battery and he was eventually fined and ordered to perform community service."

 

Those were misdemeanor charges, and Floyd underwent "impulse-control" counseling. That incident is behind him, and he's doing his best to make up for past transgessions.

 

I can give fighters a second chance. Sometimes **** happens and you get carried away.

Still, lets not act like he's a saint. Last I looked, DLH gave a ton of money to inner city youths, and hasn't raped anyone since.

 

Good point. I guess if De La Hoya can keep his nose clean for another year, he too can be a World Ambassador for Peace like Floyd. However, people like Zab Judah can't be Ambassadors, he just doesn't get it.

 

You know DLH would just BUY some plaque and say he was honored.

Truth on Zab. I was always hard on him for his attitude. Great talent and potential, but he didn;t have the ethic. But I would like to see him turn it around.

 

Any man who hits a women never deserves respect,i know he dose not drink and do drugs so where is his excuse? Cuz thats wot most so called men blame it on,i think wife or women beaters should be put up against a wall and stoned by there victims......!:fire

 

again the woman that claimed he beat her also admitted she LIED about the beating ..

 

Mayweather is the very definition of a wannabe. So is his boy Fifty.

 

Hey Jack! :hi:

 

Naming the faults of others doesn't excuse his. It's bringing in stuff that has no place here. They are not connected to Floyd, they're not named Peace Ambassador for the WBC, the only (vague) connection they have to Floyd is that they have the same profession.

Your addition of Hitler in the next post is even worse. It suggests that honoring horrid people for something they're not is a good thing to continue doing. I'm sure that's not what you meant, as I'm also sure you have no idea what you're typing up half the time.

 

"World Ambassador for Peace" eh?

Is he gonna be dropping into Iraq anytime soon to try and calm things down over there? :think

I didn't think so, so let's all just calm down and get past the hyperbole that this bull**** title bestowed upon him seems to incite.

 

Naming others faults certainly doesn't excuse any past transgressions committed by Floyd. Violence against women is unacceptable. However, Floyd underwent "impulse-control" counseling for that incident. His continued efforts to support battered women(he spearheads food drives for battered women) since that incident show that he has changed and is willing to help the very people he hurt. That's what being a World Ambassador for Peace is about.

Honoring horrid people for something they're not is not a good thing. However, at the time Hitler was named Man of the Year, he hadn't shown his darkside. He had taken Germany out of financial doldrums and restored the pride of a once great nation. Unfortunately Hitler turned out to be a pyschotic tyrant who was a proponent of genocide. He discgraced Germany, and the country almost became a permanent territory of the Soviet Union because of his wreckless actions. Time Magazine jumped the gun on Hitler before knowing what type of person he was. The WBC has seen the worst Floyd has done, and they have seen how he has turned his life around and is now a proponent of peace and prosperity instead of violence and destruction.

 

:blabla :blabla :blabla

The only reason PBF donates to these things is in a PR effort to erase his transgressions against women.

It's nothing more than PR bull**** to clear his bad rep, and you know it.

'Saint Floyd'? I don't think so.

 

men make mistakes. If a woman gets the **** smacked out of her... that is unfortunate... not acceptable but most certainly nothing that can't be put in the past. quit acting like the worth of a man is forever destroyed due to an altercation with a woman, an altercation that hypocrites who put on a fasad as if they "love" and "honor" women so much to the point of senseless worship, want to ELEVATE to THE STATUS OF beating women... THE WOMAN WAS A MANIPULATIVE LYING LOW LIFE who recanted her statements. There was no beating, now Diego Coralles beat his pregnant wife- but all you here and heard was how exciting his fights are. There are ethnic, nationalistic undertones of envy and bigotry in many posts regarding mayweather. The logic of some of his naysayers reveals a blinding hate. I am not labeling this percieved bigoted hate but I am guessing the majority of the mayweather hate is from a Hispanic- Mexican base...
