    Yes yes, another Floyd Mayweather Thread, this is not to hate on the guy but to expose his mentality...I just finished watching Cotto vs Mosley again and Cotto vs Margarito and a bunch of other top welterweights in action, but one thing was missing, Floyd Mayweather.

    When I look at all these guys getting it on and fighting each other the word Duck comes to mind.

    putting all money aside and all this weight nonsense to one side and look at these facts.

    To be the best you have to beat the best in your current division, am I right by saying so ?

    I fail to understand how such a highly talented guy, probably the most talented of this decade, always finds a way to worm out of a proper fight.

    Look at these fights:

    Mayweather vs Cotto (He is in his prime)
    Mayweather vs Mosley (Slowing Slightly)
    Mayweather vs Williams (He is in his prime)
    Mayweather vs Margarito (He is in his prime)
    Mayweather vs Clottey (He is in his prime)

    Now look at these fights:

    Mayweather vs Gatti (Shot worn)
    Mayweather vs Baldomir (Robocop)
    Mayweather vs Judah (Floyd beat him up before in sparring)
    Mayweather vs Hatton (Blocks punches with his face)
    Mayweather vs De La Hoya (Part Time Boxer at the time, Past his best)

    Now for people with any amount of logic, which fights would you have preferred to see Floyd in ?

    Please dont remind us of his success at 130lbs, we are discussing him as a 147lbs fighter.

    :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    You are obsessed with Money May arent you kid?

    I can break down any champions competition like you have. Why dont you break it down while acknowledging the best boxer of our generation was moving up several weight classes and defeating these guys. Why your big bad lover Margarito was getting his ass kicked by Daniel Santos.

    Dont really understand people wanting Floyd to clean out WW.He is not a WW. Any other fighters clean out their 4th weight class?

    When fans talk about why big fights aren't made, being called scared, a bum, a ducker, and coward by fans :
    MARCUS RHODE: It doesn’t bother me because the simple fact is half these guys have never put the leather on, they have never been hit, never been nothing. It doesn’t bother me because all they can do is run their mouth because if they could get in the ring they would have gotten in there...

    To answer the question; IMV, Mayweather retired because of the constant mocking, insults, and generally disrespect he was getting from the fight media and fans. This all revealed itself when Floyd was alternately crying and giving away watches. You have to be as good as he is and get hated on as much as he does to know how penetratingly negative #1 can be. People would say they hated him because of who he is as a person on a constant basis. That's some painful **** for any human being, and Floyd is obviously a sensitive mother****er. The hate became this 'thing.' It was out of control.

    I believe Gayweather retired because of the legitimate competition at 147.

    Floyd probably saw that he entered his fourth weight class, saw no challenge, and retired. He saw AM as a boring fighter and the rest of the WW's as inferior fighters who he would dominate. None of the ww's have separated themselves from the pack. None of them could light his fire, and now Floyd is waiting for one of the WW's to emerge as dominant so he could dominate them. None of the ww's has dominated 147 since he left.

    *****.

    eye pleasing....

    When you have fought big fight after big fight, you are looking for super fights, money fights...not fights where he feels he has to prove himself all over again. Floyd is a proven fighter, and a great champion. It's time that the other ww's proved they are on his level, and that means fighting each other. Hearns and Leonard cleaned out 147, and proved that they were the two best ww's of the world when they fought each other. Floyd needs that kind of challenge.

    In a sense what you're saying is correct, but these guys are only an ingredient. They're faceless and nameless to Floyd. They might as well be anybody. It's all emotional nonsense at a certain point. Mayweather is a confused guy these days. He's been hurting. Probably cying alot.
