Why don't you "boxing" fans just say it? You will always hate Floyd no matter

    The steroid ish is just useless. Steroids detract from the sport as a whole. Don't go throwing it out there. Your guy could be using them if the other guy could.

    If every one is passing their tests? Let it lie.

    If you feel a guy is cheating? File a formal complaint and work to get the testing structure changed.

    Don't go slandering the man and YOUR sport in the press. And yes, I am a big Mayweather fan. That crap is just not cool.

    The problem, while you talked about 'blind nuthuggery' initially, you also said this:

    That is YOU, a self claimed PBF supporter, calling his 'tune up fight' 'inexcusable' and 'insulting'.

    That aint got chit to do with whether someone else overrated the win or not.

    I stand by it and I maintain that it was a joke of a fight. What will you say if he decides to fight Amir Kahn next. I'm guessing it'll be something along the lines of "kahn was an undefeated young fighter with blazing speed that was a perfect option to prepare for a fight with pacquiao who is also fast"

    This is for all the Floyd fans, for the record, the reason DLH fought Pac at 147 was because Pac was a fill in for guess who? -Floyd, the rematch, that was the date, and guess what weight the rematch was going to be held at? -that's right, 147!

    So don't say Pac brought Hoya down to weight drain him. Hoya was already coming down, made a public statement about going back to welter which he felt was his best weight, fought Forbes at 150, and was stood up by Floyd.

    My ass it isn't and by your comments it kind of shows that you are probably a majority in a society. When in the majority it is NEVER about race. This is what the majority would like it to be because anything else acknowledges the discrepancies in society.

    Look at this trash! Kenny is all over FMJ. Then people say, he is a *****? Brian Kenny is a *****! Look at this and Brian Kenny was wrong on ALL counts. Still Brian even to this day pulls this crap! Now is FMJ wrong to act as though the media is unfair? He is dead on the money.

    Of course he was bigger, Floyd went up. But for the rematch Hoya was going down.
    DLH was fighting at 147 because of Floyd not Pac, Pac was the fill in.

    You reap what you sow.... its pretty simple. Not sure how one cant see WHY people dont like floyd, and hes already built that up so much that of course it doesnt matter what he does, unless he changes his attitude then hes always going to have a big group of fans that hate on him... so what?

    I believe the 'people will hate him no matter what' is a pretty base cop out by floyd fans.... ya, he can do all that and still be hated, of course.... because of who he is. That doesnt excuse him from not fighting the best out there.

    To say mayweather would never get props is also a complete joke, because if next year he beat mosley and pac, he would be fighter of the damn year and everyone knows it. hell even if he beat paul williams it would be huge news, and people will be giving him props.

    will haters continue to hate? ya... so what. doesnt excuse a thing, and overall shouldnt matter, he would get his props from true boxing fans and media alike.

    also... i see that some people think there will always be that 'next' opponent to face. well, yeah.... this is boxing after all. Unless you dont want to fight anymore, in which you should retire, there is always GOING to be that next fighter to beat. This is ****ing boxing :lol: If he doesnt like it, get out of the sport again.

    also, lets not act like pac is just that 'next' fighter to come along please..... pac is one of this generations best, period, has beaten 2 fighters that mayweather has beaten.. more impressively, has landed in mayweathers weightclass and just destroyed one of its top fighters, and besides mayweather is the biggest name in the sport in america right now. So i think we can dispence with the 'oh hes just the next guy', and mosley vs mayweather has been talked about going on a decade now....

    so no, their not really the random 'next guy' to come along

    and even if that was the case, again.... this is boxing, mayweather is on top, OF COURSE there is going to be that next challenger.... lol... wtf? :lol: i dont get this attitude of 'well theres always going to be the next one', we are not talking retirement here. If it was should mayweather continue fighting or retire, then i would understand that statement, but since mayweather is continuing to fight, then that saying really doesnt mean anything. Yes... once he beats pac, there will be mosley, after he beats mosley the last legacy gem for mayweather will probably be paul williams, that will probably be the fight that media and fans want to see....

    and? lol... this is boxing thats how it goes. If mayweather doesnt like that well then retire, again. Its not like hes an old man towards the end of his career and people are unjistifiably pushing fights on the guy. Hes 'supposedly' the p4p king, number 1 welter, ect, ect... people act like hes some sort of victim.

    I don't know if that is true, so I can't rightfully argue with you. Still, if so, would it not be fair? On your turf. I win. Next bout on my turf.

    I would still have to see links. Roach is the one always calling for catch weights so I am very skeptical of this. I would have to see some proof.

    Man please.

    Hey, he plays the villain now. Fine. So the hate will be what it is with the fan base. So why the hate from so called media professionals?

    There is no reason for the "not fighting the best out there nonsense. Really? Ignorant asses, who claim to be boxing fans, see what they want to see.

    Being that Pac fought sloppy seconds on fighters that FMJ beat how is MP great? It is crap. Not saying that MP isn't great, but how is it flip flopped?

    damn, you must be frustrated out of your mind after seeing PBF destroy everyone that stepped in the ring with him. hopefully you dont commit suicide if pacman/floyd fought and floyd wins.

    So Brian Kenney is your way of brushing off what I said..:lol:
    Don't get me wrong, I've been around black communities my entire life, dated black women, etc. I have seen first hand racism and distrust for no apparent reason.

    I also truly understand the way the establishment works and maybe unfortunately for you but yes there's a certain attitude requested in order to be fully accepted. It may be sad but it's a fact, the thing is ''that requested particular attitude" doesn't have anything to do with color.

    Why ? cause if a WHITE MAN acts like Mayweather with the establishment, down the road he will get the same treatment !!
