Found this article. Little bit long but but a good one. Oh by the way I totally agree with it 100%. Just more excuses from Floyd.
Does Floyd Mayweather Jr give a rat's ass about the Fans? Just who are the fans anyway? The Fans are the ones who make boxing possible. Without their voice and appreciation for the sport...one can assume the Sport of Boxing would have been banned years ago by Politicians and the rest of the General public who could care less about a savage sport we call a "science."
For pretty much months now fans have been clamoring for Mayweather to put the Fan's money where his mouth is and fight Antonio Margarito. Of course many believe Mayweather Jr is in fear of Margarito, and watching Mayweather come up with reasons not to face Margarito for a whopping 8 million dollars, solidifies to many fans that Mayweather is
in fact terrified of Margarito.
If Margarito was an easy challenge and Mayweather was sure of the outcome, he'd go on and take the money and run.
Quoted in the Las Vegas Sun, Mayweather had this to say about Margarito: "Look at Antonio Margarito, how can you possibly sell a pay-per-view with a guy like this?
First of all, someone needs to tell Mayweather at this point its not about the PPV numbers, and Mayweather does not need to worry his pretty little head about who is going to buy...because the 8 million is already on the line. Second, the more Mayweather kicks and screams that Margarito is not worth an 8 million dollar challenge, the more and more fans will come to the conclusion that Mayweather is nothing more than a "FRAUD." Mayweather's name outside of the Sport of Boxing is NO Bigger than Margarito's. In fact outside the world of Boxing, I am willing to bet more Mexican American's know Margarito than the African American population knows who Mayweather is. Outside of Boxing, Mayweather is unknown.
More pathetic lines from a scared man...Mayweather quoted by the LV Sun said: "Antonio Margarito's got four losses on his record to journeymen. He's got one world title, he fights straight up and down, no special effects, and you talk about wanting to get in there with a guy like me? I've got way too much for him. Get some more world titles under your belt, get some much more known opponents, then pick up the phone."
Never mind the 8 million on the line, never mind the fact that Mayweather looked less than Pound forPound when he fought the newest Journey man in Zab Judah. Zab's loss to Carlos Bladomir meant nothing to Mayweather and in return Maywether vs. Judah meant nothing to the fans. Mayweather's stock plummeted when he took on the extremely worthless Judah. At the point Judah lost to Bladomir, he became levels below Margarito. You can not say Margarito is not worthy but still go ahead with the fresh loser in Judah. Margarito will raise Mayweather's stock...Judah has lowered it.
Now it seems Mayweather is trying hard to save face and possibly his ailing career by wanting to ignore Margarito and fight "Sugar" Shane Mosley. It won't work.
Mayweather needs to listen to the fans, and read what the most important writers in the industry are saying about him. If Mayweather wants to read "nutt-hugging" articles about his pathetic career, and talk to only small worthless websites that throw roses and kisses his way...then his popularity will suffer. It is suffering today, and eventually at this rate it won't take long until fans go elsewhere to pop down their money and support.
Mayweather needs to stop making excuses why he is not fighting Margarito. Just admit to fans he is terrified of Margarito. A true Pound for Pound King would not turn down popular demand and make excuses why he isn't fighting Margarito for 8 million. After all, Mayweather is not in a place in his career where he can outright say he is more deserving than any other fighter.
For me and judging by message boards and what others are writing, Mayweather is terrified of Margarito. By wanting "Sugar" Shane over Margarito, Mayweather can "Sugar" coat his problems all he wants.... but at the end of the day, Fans will not forget, and the name of "FRAUD" will stick.
