    Who the hell said anything about Pacquiao? Yeah, he ripped the fans off too, anyone with half a brain knows he just cashed out for that fight, they're both guilty of it. Nobody said anything about poverty and plague either. Just remember, Mayweather is little more than an opportunistic **** and you have about as much in common with his as the man in the moon.

    You trying to insult me every chance you get is just wasting your own time. I'm not going to get in a flame war with you, you're easy work baby.

    "Opportunistic"

    If he lost, you wouldn't be saying this. Trust me.

    :thumbsup

    Yes go blame Mayweather for everything, it will help you sleep better at night.

    He told the world the fight was going to be easy, and it was. Always was, and always will be. :thumbsup

    I don't care if he wins or loses, but why would anyone call someone "one of the most dedicated boxers ever" who only fights once a year? It's ****ing ridiculous. If he was really dedicated to the sport he'd be training and FIGHTING all the time. Oh wait, he doesn't do that and he hasn't done that in years.

    Yes, one of the most dedicated. There are many great fighters throughout boxing history that could have benefited from Floyd's work ethic. I don't know about most dedicated "ever" though. I'm sure there were guys who lived the Spartan lifestyle.

    Which top fighters fight "ALL THE TIME"? :huh

    He's 38 years old, give me a break.

    He's had 48 fights in his career, which is a decently long career by modern standards. 19 years in the game.

    He's fighting all the top fighters and is lineal in 2 weight classes simultaneously. :happy

    Why does he need so much time off? Is he not dedicated? What's he so busy doing that he needs so many breaks? He's fought 15 times in the last 10 years. That's once every 8 months. How long are training camps? Coupla months? So he works about 2 1/2 - 3 months out of every 8 months? He's almost as bad as David Haye.

    Not even close, he fights twice a year at 38, something that is completely justified. :deal

    He's also way past his prime so give me a damn break!

    He'll be 50-0 and that's how his career will end. A great great great ATG level career.

    Always the oldtimer card,do you think SRR etc would fight monthly basis if he would get millions fighting 1-2times a year.

    It's just stupid thing to compare

    Because Floyd loves money,and there is not +30mil paychecks every month.

    Sadly boxing is mostly business,SRR etc.. Fought almost weekly for peanuts.

    I hope you don't really think Floyd eats a lot of fast food while training. Thats all for the camera. He makes a point for the shots of him eating Taco Bell , etc. to be included in the pre-fight all access shows. His claim that he never watches film of his opponents is an absolute lie also. He wants us to believe that its all so easy for him.

    Yea he knows how to market it's smart and it reminds me of the way Ali marketed himself. Kept calling himself the "Greatest" and eventually a lot of casual fans started to believe it. If you look now there is a younger generation of boxing fans who are starting to believe Floyd is TBE also.
