    I always love these things, they really build the anticipation.

    Mayweather really is like achild. Always contradicting himself and saying the same things over and over. I cannot believe he accused Mosley of "disrespect" for calling him out. This coming from arguably THE most disrespectful fighter of this generation. I get what he is trying to do with the whole trash talk thing but at least have some subtlety, or some humour. All we get is 'I'm gon' beat that mother****er down', 'I don't know who the **** Shane Mosley is' (really?). All these trash talking fighters are trying to, trying to emulate Ali. What they fail to realise is Ali was very tongue in cheek. He was witty and funny and he didn't advocate all this flash bull**** with the cars and money and bling bling.

    its pretty obvious that mayweather is extremely good at what he does. Like him or hate him he is probably in the top 10 atg as of now. which position is always determined by how many people like him and why. If he was humble who knows what kind of view people would have of him

    No one is doubting how good Mayweather is.

    He could be so much better though.

    True dat brotha....Ali had his mean moments...but most of the time the guy was just being funny...and,of course,playing the war games...But most importantly,he never flashed his money and cars and **** around...he was simply too classy for that kind of thing...

    And to top it all off...Ali usually backed his bragging...win or lose.And nobody...but nobody,can dispute Ali when he says he's the Greatest HW off all-time..He earned it..In the ring.

    Mayweather still has to learn the difference between war games and thrash-talk..not the same thing...Too dumb to know the difference.

    Seems like your the one contradicting yourself. First, you say how much you love 24/7 but, than say you don't like the reason why you tune in (Mayweather's trash talk). Than, you say Mayweather wants to be Ali but, than you go on and on about how Mayweather is nothing like Ali. I have never heard Mayweather ever say he was emulating Ali and since he doesn't sound anything like Ali, how to you people come to the conclusion that he wants to be like Ali? Why does Mayweather have to be witty and humorous? Floyd REALLY means his trash talk. When Floyd says he is going to beat a mother****er down, he REALLY means it. It is not intended to be funny or witty.

    Floyd is in a class all his own. What does him being proud of what he has earned for himself and those close to him have to do with class? If I had a 20 million dollar mansion and a $500,000 car, y'all would hear about it from me, too.

    Ali was clever and funny.

    Floyd is childish and annoying.

    only ******s find the **** he says and does funny.

    Furthermore, yeah, a guy who pays for the Golden Gloves and gives out meals to homeless people in Vegas is really classless, LOL. You people don't even know what you are talking about. Floyd talks about this in depth on that 24/7 interview. Money Mayweather is a CHARACTER, those were his exact words. The fact that y'all dislike Floyd for selling a character to put boxing back in the limelight shows how really dumb y'all are.

    At what point did I say I tune in to watch Mayweather? I tune in because I like the programme. I watch it no matter who is fighting.

    All this trash talk stuff began with Ali. Just because someone wants to be like someone, that's not to say they are anything like that person.

    If he REALLY means it then why doesn't he do it? I seem to remember him saying he was going to beat down De La Hoya in horrible fashion. He sure backed that up.......................

    I find it hilarious. When Floyd says things like, "Shane Mosley says Floyd Mayweather fights for money.... DUH, I'M A ****ING PRIZEFIGHTER DUMMY! Thats what I'm supposed to fight for.. A PRIZE!", how can you not find that funny? When Floyd says things like "I have made more money in my last two fights than Shane has in his entire career" and "We don't know how many fights Shane won legit because he was on 'roids" how can you get mad at him for saying that? IT IS THE TRUTH! Be mad at Shane for cheating and using steroids, not at Floyd for stating the facts.

    I understand the character. I understand that he uses it to try and gain a psychological edge on his opponent and get under their skin. However, I believe there is a side of him that is utterly classless and unspeakably arrogant. Why does he have to flaunt all his cash and the things he has earnt for himself? Why would he assume anyone else cares?

    He said before that the fight was going to be "a bloodbath, a ****ing massacre". Did he really back that up?

    None of that is funny in any way.
