"Every time they build someone up...half the time I smack them down and the other half I go on vacation."

haha, I know. Floyd is fighting Canelo so I give him props for that.

here's how iworks-

when floyd was young and had no fanbase-him calling out the big names like odh and shane and them not fighting him doesn't matter. they aren't ducking floyd is beiong impatient.

but when another fighter ggg, ward, pwill, etc who is now in the same relative poisition, when they call floyd out, if he doesn't fight them well its ducking etc.

Floyd does it its wrong. other do it its justified. thats how things work around here. they will die believing their bull****

[swaggertron1]

Yea! Who does Floyd think he is, the nerve of him speaking up to defend himself!

from what? he misunderstood what chepo said and got emotional.

[swaggertron1]

anywyas did this dude really compare himself to a 22 year old kid?

so mayweather was in the game for 17 years and had 10 tittles when he was 22?

I don't think so.

again mayweather is being a lil emotional jealous hoe

probably the fact that throughout the tour there was more people out cheering for canelo than his diva ass.

Wrong! P Williams had issues against southpaws. Quintana, Lara, Martinez were all southpaws. He still was able to adjust and KO Quintana and he actually did OK in fight number 1 and was doing well against Martinez in the 2nd fight until the KO ..... but again, he had issues defending against southpaws. Being that Martinez also has some power, he changed that 2nd fight in a hurry with one punch!

Floyd didn't have the power to slow down Williams either. Williams was still walking forward after being hit by the stronger Martinez, so I don't see Williams being concerned about Floyd's pot shots.

While Floyd would have about 15 pot shots, Williams would have accumulated 70+ punches. Williams had an excellent work-rate.

Furthermore, with Williams height and reach, Williams would be able to find Floyd's head with BOTH fists! Very few if any of Floyd's previous opponents can say that. Lastly, Williams is a southpaw himself. Again that plus his height and reach would neutralize the shoulder roll.

And weren't Quintana, Lara, Martinez all boxers? What did they do to Williams? They outboxed him. Don't want to fantasy predict but no way Williams beats Mayweather coming forward with no defense against Mayweather.

For those waiting to see the Floyd Mayweather of old who likes to trash talk, he made an appearance at the final stop for the Mayweather-Alvarez press tour in Los Angeles. Mayweather has taken a different road lately as he’s toned down the antics and had a more calm approach but he was back to his vintage form Tuesday night and it was due to being provoked.

“In every city Canelo has been quiet. Oscar De La Hoya has been quiet. The other guys [Eddy and Chepo Reynoso] probably didn’t even talk. Now all of a sudden the trainer was all like ‘grow some balls’. They all of a sudden want to talk trash. I truly believe in this, if you dish it out you have to be able to take it. If you talk trash, I will talk trash. You respect me, I respect you. That’s how it works” declared Mayweather.

that was light....Floyd didn't really unleash the venom but it helped hype the fight...I mean thats what these tours is all about!!

[kavi521]

LOL yeh De La Hoya is just trying to sell the fight. I think hardcore boxing fans laugh when Oscar went on about how Ortiz and Guerrero were the new generation. One laughed so hard during the 24/7 with de la hoya and Ortiz. He's selling a fight. Stephen A Smith was praising MAyweather for taking this fight because Canelo is a knock out artist LOL Canelo has power but not a knock out artist.

Im far from a floyd fan but you need to get a couple of facts straight before spewing things like this. Didn't Mosley turn down a floyd fight around 2006-07 because his tooth hurt? Bob kept Cotto from fighting floyd because he felt it was too soon. And even a Rugby fan knows floyd and pac didn't fight because Bob just don't wanna do business with floyd or oscar. And if im not mistaken, when they announced the may/oscar rematch, it was not well recieved at all

Point well said! I agree 100% some dudes on here just talk bs and get so caught on emotion that they forget the facts or proof of their claims.

[HarvardBlue]

In terms of trash talking that wasn't bad. Everything he said was just the truth. For those saying De La Hoya made Floyd's career. I think Floyd putting a beat down on Gatti made his career. Everyone tuned in to see if Floyd could could do the same to Oscar. What other boxer could De la Hoya set a record PPV with? He didn't set any records when he fought Pacquiao. So now Paul Williams is the one that would have beat Floyd. Forgive me for asking because it changes every other week. I've said it before, Canelo has a chance to beat Floyd. However, he has to come with his A++ game. On the other hand, all Floyd has to do is be Floyd on Sep 14 and he gets the win.

Youre a F*&#ing idiot... Go up20 lbs to fight Bernard... You must no know S H I IT about boxing...

Assuming Nard was still at m/w tell that to Ray Leonard ,TitoTrinidad, Ray Robinson etc because they all did it. I personally think Floyd is too small to ever do that but before u make blanket statement know the facts about the sport.
