Floyd Mayweather Jr. Speaks, Blasts "Racist" HBO

[Tha_Greatest]

"hes faced everyone"



Did i miss his fights with Guzman and Zaheer?


All i see pacman fight was a bunch old Mexicans with a name,and bum mexican fighters like David Diaz and get praised for it.

great mexicans like my favorite all time fighter, Morales(twice), That ***** ass Barrera(twice), Marquez(once) even though i thought Marquez won both in my opinion, but he did not, Oscar Larios who is another great underappreciated mexican legend,David Diaz a very good b class champs like D.Diaz ,wer

[Weebler I]

Mayweather was wrong about them being racist, but hard on him? Definately, you definately see the difference, the unenthusiam as he knocked out hatton etc. The announcing team seemed very uncaring and bored that he did it. However it wasnt that their racist, i dont think that, i do think they have their preference of fighters though, definately, thats one thing you all complain of all the time, and its true, they do treat different fighters differently.

Alot of the criticism he gets he brings upon himself partly with interviews like this though and wording **** wrong. Im sure ill have everyday on boxingscene to remind me regardless.

the co-commentator was rooting for Mayweather from about the 4th round

Morales was past it by the second fight and totally washed up in the third.

Barrerra:the first fight one was in his prime,the 2nd one washed up.


Marquez:aside the 1st round whipped pac easily in the first fight.I had Marquez winning every round except the first and i had him winning that fight.The rematch i thought 35 year old Marquez won that one also.


Oscar Larios is not all that and you know it.

David Diaz is nothing.


Ya`ll just Bias towards Pac .


If Floyd fought those same fighters we would have never heard the end of "those fighters was old"

[flodistheshizle]

You're right. There are no opponents worthy of Floyd Mayweather. It is beneath his diginity to step into the ring with no talents like Mosley or Cotto.

Did Mayweather get props for beating 34 year old Delahoya who was 2 years younger then Shane? No.So what makes you think he`ll get props for beating a 36/37 year old Shane?

They praise them fighters because they are willing to get in there and brawl which is what they and most people enjoy.Not to make it a big race thing.But blacks don't do alot of brawling and going in to ko people. They are skilled but hbo and people enjoy great fights which is the reason they love mexican fighter and fighters like pavlik

1 Delahoya-Mayweather: 2.2 MIL Two American Fighter involved

2 Tyson-Holyfield 2: 1.99 MIL African American fighters involved

3 Tyson-Lewis: 1.8 MIL American and British fighters involved

4 Tyson-Holyfield 1: 1.59 MIL Two American fighters involved

5 Tyson- McNeely: 1.55 MIL Two American fighters involved

6 Holyfield - Foreman: 1.4 MIL Two American Fighters involved

7 DelaHoya-Trinidad: 1.4 MIL American and Puerto Rican

8 Tyson-Bruno: 1.37 MIL African American and Black British

9 Tyson-Ruddock 2: 1.25 MILAmerican and Canadian

10 Holyfield-Lewis 1: 1.2 MIL Two American fighters

The problem is that you only hear the criticism. He'll certainly get more props for fighting Mosley than fighting nobody. Plus a chance to show up Cotto if he wins big. More money too.

[QUOTE=Shem;3722059]I said some of the comments didn't sit all that well with me, but I can see why he'd think it's partly down to racism.

Nothing ever stinks of racism. Racism can be more subtle than that. You get actor Charlie Sheen calling his wife a ****** and then getting caught out. Nothing he'd ever have said to his friend Todd would have stunk of racism. Or dog the bounty killer caught on tape calling his son a ****** lover. Nobody would know these prominant figures hold these thoughts and feelings. Anway I digress. I agree with the bloke, and I'll leave it there on the racism issue.QUOTE]

The whole point is HBO is a conglomerate that helped make Floyd even after his "slave wages" comment. NOTHING he has brought up about this so called racist behavior rings true. And everything smacks of sour g****s because he's upset that he isn't being percieved the way he thinks he should be. He should be thanking HBO for making him a star. If he had a specific example of racist behavior (even though I don't like him) I would recognize it and hear him out. This rubbish.....like I said, sour g****s fromn ba spoiled brat who think everybody owes him something.

Believe me,he fights and beat Cotto they`ll have an excuse."Floyd waited to when Cotto was washed up to fight him" ,"Cotto was never all that anyway"
or whatever they could dream up.


Floyd loses:"he was exposed","He finally fought someone good and got exposed"

[Tha_Greatest]

Morales was past it by the second fight and totally washed in the third.

Barrerra the first fight ne was in his prime 2nd washed up.


Marquez:aside the 1st round whipped pac easily in the first fight.I had Marquez winning every round except the first and i had him winning that fight.The rematch i thought 35 year old Marquez won that one also.

i really dont care what you say bout Morales and Barrera, that argument is honestly a matter of, opinion, if you believe they was old,

Marquez to me me looked like the winner in both fights but he wasnt

Diaz, dont care what you say bout him

now El Chololo, Oscar Larios, that guy is a mexican underated champion legend, he and Israel Vasquez had wars, great record, but was avoided too much, give the guy props

How about Paul Williams? Clottey? Any top welter for that Matter.
In 3 years he fought 1 dangerous welterweight fight... Judah. I'd love to see him fight Cotto, but and top fighter from his division would get him more props than what he's getting.
