    he's going to retire without ever gaining the respect of the real boxing fans...he's embarrassing the sport.

    how is it pathetic if Arum owes HIM money?...why would you allow someone who stole from you to make more money off of you? can you explain the logic or are you just going to type in caps and use emoticons?..It a reason why DLH and PBF left him...but its no use with you anyway you believe what you want

    That's supposed to prove my point that SRL didn't simply "TAKE ON ALL CHALLENGERS AND DID NOT GO AFTER MONEY FIGHTS AS FLOYD IS DOING". You know how it proves my point, because it ****ing comes from Leonards mouth himself:patsch . I'm saying, when he was accused of ducking Hearns (who was seen as the biggest challenge at the time), he responed by saying "I'll fight Tommy when he reaches the popularity of a Roberto Duran". This is very similar situation that Mayweather is facing now. The difference being the Money Fights for SRL were Duran, Hearns, and Hagler (he avoided the Hagler fight hard too); whereas the Money Fights for Floyd are currently DLH and Hatton. I'm not too convinced that SRL would not be doing the same thing Mayweather is doing now if the roles were reversed.

    Leonard is my favorite boxer of all-time not named Ali. Yet, I acknowledge that he was extremely calculative in regards to his legacy and was a politician. Personally, I think Leonard was probably a *****, but I loved his boxing ability and thats all I really care about. But I get mad when people make certain falsifications about Leonard when Leonard himself fessed up to half of the games he played (he did Hagler horrible).

    You are just a hater and will never give Mayweather his props. It's kind of sad. That's kind of some female ****. There's no reason to hate a particular fighter like that.

    Probably respect him more given his 'its all about the $$$' attitude.

    At least when he makes a fight we know that he's doing as a pay day and doesnt try to pass it off as some real challenege!

    I'd respect him alot more if he fought Cotto but for me, anyone with a CV that reads Ricky Hatton, Zab Judah, Oscar de la Hoya, Arturo Gatti, Jose Luis Castillo and Diego Corrales gets my respect

    No, as he's done so much already. I don't like the whole "He's won 5 different belts in X weight-classes" thing as the belts are worthless and he hasn't fought the best fighters in these weight-classes (apart from 130). But disregarding the belts, he's done so much already.

    I am, however, disappointed for boxing.

    Floyd will get more respect and once he retires for good. People don't appreciate him now but they will.

    Once they look back and see that this guy stayed undefeated his whole career and beat everyone he's faced and did somethings in record time and in impressive fashion.

    You are the one talking out the side of you're neck here:yep
    AT WW SRL ducked no one and in a 3 year period fought THE BEST. We arent talking post WW, we are talking WW and there? You can run but not hide from the truth. Putting a fight back 9 months is DUCKING??:lol: Especially when he fought Duran twice and Benitez among many others in that period??

    PLEASE!!!:-( Mayweather can step up or SHUT UP! Its clear and present WHAT THE REAL ATG's did at 147:good

    SRR and SRL fought the best at WW and you know damn well Floyd would NEVER have faced Hearns, he'd **** his pants and retire!! He's stumbling, mumbling, and fumbling over Cotto.:lol:

    Not without fighting the best they wont:nono The more Floyd continues his BS, the worse it gets for his legacy. Only a PBF sack-licker could put him with the TOP WW's AT:hey

    Floyd's attitude and marketing games are what they are and imagine the **** Floyd fans would be talking if the reverse situation was true. Cotto couldnt fight him because he wanted REMATCHES with guy's he already beat convincingly.:rofl
