Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I'm Not Breaking That 50-0, Don't Worry

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Floyd Mayweather has solved a problem as he tries to sell to sceptical fans what he insists will be his last fight.

The problem was not with Andre Berto, his hand-picked opponent for the 49th fight of his long career on Saturday night. It's hard to find anyone - much less Mayweather - who thinks Berto is going to give him many problems in his final fight.

The issue Mayweather was dealing with on Tuesday came in a text from one of his daughters. She was in Los Angeles wondering if she had to fly commercial to see her father or if he would send his private jet.

"I said I'd send the jet," Mayweather said.

Sceptical? Boxingscene needs to stop hiring baboons to write articles.

Take some time and do some research on Marciano. He took on all top challengers without complaining. He never made stipulations. The only rules were those by the athletic commission at the time of which everyone followed with hardly ever an exception. No whining about gloves, 'my health', catchweights, all that crapola. Matter of fact, at the time CW didn't exist. And he was a small HW. Any challenger from 175 on up was on his radar and he fought them. And he wasn't brash or an ego freak. The guy was respectful to all. There were a few arguments behind the scenes, but nothing much.

Now, compare that to the Floydiots golden goose. No comparison. 49-0 Marciano, (soon to be) 49-0 Floydie, yes. But will you take a look at the level of competition and all the excuses and whining from Floydie. Geez, guy complains and has ego explosions all the time. No comparison to the true champ Marciano.

Some of the biggest names on Rocky's resume started out at much smaller weight classes. Archie Moore started out as a welterweight. Ezzard Charles started out as a middleweight. The truth is the truth, he wasn't known for fighting big Heavyweights.

The article states this fight is getting "little buzz", thats incorrect bcuz thats all the "Pac fans" seem to be squirming over these days
