The unappreciated floyd mayweather jr vs. The haters

By D. Berry:

I’ve been reading Pacquiao/Mayweather Jr articles on this site for a few months now and there is one thing I have noticed; people watch boxing but don’t understand it. So when I see people say that Floyd Mayweather Jr has boring fights, I laugh because they don’t have an idea what “boxing” is. Mayweather is one of, if not the best “boxers” I’ve ever seen in my life. The way he breaks his opponents down is really something to see. If you can’t understand Floyd’s style, its because you’re into checkers and fans of the sport like me, are into chess.

I’m going to start with the Sugar Shane Mosley foolishness. I would like everyone reading this to youtube “Mosley vs. Vargas 2 post fight interview.” When Larry Merchant asks about a November fight with Mayweather the complaining begins. He complains about the date being too early, his tooth being loose and how Mayweather should fight Margarito. Lame. Now that Floyd is at the top, he wants to fight him. I have to laugh.

I just read another article about how Mosley should be a bigger star than Mayweather Jr. The guy who wrote that article should calmly open the window to his 3rd floor efficiency and jump out. The reason he doesn’t have that star power is because he doesn’t have that “SWAGGER.” I give him credit. Yes, Mosley has fought almost everyone who is good, but he only beat one of them! It’s not about who you fought, its who you beat.

Next we have Paul “I’m really a 6 foot 2 inch middle weight but I like to go down to welterweight to fight smaller men” Williams. Everyone says Money Mayweather fights smaller fighters. WELL, PAUL WILLIAMS IS BIGGER THAN EVERYONE HE’S EVER FOUGHT! This dude got beat by Quintana for gods sake! Martinez got robbed in that fight against him. This guy throws a million BS punches a fight. If Floyd fought him it would be a repeat of the Diego Corrales fight because of Floyds countering ability. Every left Paul throws, that right straight will be coming over the top of it. He doesn’t have the speed or defense to be mentioned in the same sentence with Mayweather.

Miguel Cotto. This guy is nothing like the fighter his father built him to be. If you notice, he was never knocked out. I question his heart more than anything. He had Antonio Margarito beat, all he had to do was hold on and win the last round to get the split division but I personally see him as a quitter. I really don’t even have to speak on this one, his last 3 fights say it all.

Manny Pacquiao. I must tip my hat to Manny, he is one of the greatest “brawlers” I have ever seen, but make no mistake, he doesn’t stand a chance. Truthfully, I think the people who don’t understand boxing are mainly Pacquiao fans. In my view, I see Pacquiao’s fans consisting of people who like to get drunk and fight, people who watch MMA fights that don’t involve Anderson Silva, and people who think boxing is about 2 men standing directly in front of each other and slugging it out. Sigh. Shameful.

I don’t think Mayweather is going to knock Pacquiao out, but a eight rounds to four unanimous is coming March 13th in favor of Mayweather. Pacquiao does well against people who stand in front of him and slug it out. But against “Money”? Nah. Floyd won’t be there for him to land those “9 and 10″ hit combos these Pacquiao fans keep talking about. Mayweather will be to the side of him landing that left check hook he throws so well. People speak on Manny’s speed but I think his speed is quite regular.

If he’s so fast why does he always get hit? Mayweather’s hands and head movement is fast and we won’t get into the best footwork in the sport. As far as those angles everyone keeps talking about, stop it, that’s Floyd “Money” Mayweather he’s going against. They don’t call him pretty because of how he looks on a day to day basis; they call him pretty because of how he looks after a fight. Untouched. Mayweather makes all his opponents (except Castillo in the first fight) look stupid. The thing about Mayweather is you know he’s coming with either a jab, left check hook, or straight right, and you can’t do anything about it.

With all that said we have the last wannabe/haters. The people. People hate Mayweather because they don’t understand him. They don’t understand why he feels the need to state the obvious: HE’S THE BEST. When Floyd was a humble young guy, nobody ever paid him any attention. In my view, Bob Arum didn’t promote Mayweather that well like he does for Pacquiao.

That’s when Mayweather was humble like Shane Mosley. To get to those money fights he had to follow the route of most young black males which is to “TALK that stuff and WALK that stuff.” People complain about how he doesn’t throw combos or knock people out all the time but that’s because Mayweather doesn’t like to just swallow his food, he chews it first. (Ask Marquez) I think everyone should give him his credit after this fight. Its past due.

:think Interesting points i dont agree with everything, but i do agree with some things he said.:bbb
