Mayweather doesn’t care about titles – He just wants to enhance his legacy
April 23rd, 2010
By Jim Dower: Undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. (40-0, 25 KO’s) doesn’t care at all about Shane Mosley’s WBA welterweight title and has refused to pay the World Boxing Association’s sanctioning fees for his May 1st fight against Mosley at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mayweather, 33, is beyond titles at this advanced point of his career and is looking to just enhance his consider able legacy by chasing the best fighters in the sport, starting with the 38-year-old Mosley on May 1st. In an article at the Sun, Mayweather says “I did not want to fight for the WBA title. At this point, it’s all about enhancing my legacy. I’ve done a lot of things in this sport, things that a lot of fighters weren’t able to do in the sport and didn’t do in the sport. This fight with Mosley will enhance my legacy.”

Folyd Is The BEst! thats is noone beat him noone is more flashy that man got bread noone cant tell my boy what to do or what to say when he WINS this fight VS SHANE People will say oh he was suppose to win he mayweather. He is the Man of the Hour AND wont be Beating NEVER!!!!
Shane’s legacy is in place by the titals and only in the boxing world is he best known, Floyd’s legacy is in his fights and in the world is he best known. Sonny Liston is known for his titals within the boxing community, and Ali is known in the world for his fights in and outside the ring “legacy”. The IBF, WBO, and other boxing associations do not define the legacy of a man the path that the man choices decides his legacy. To pay 100,000′s of dollars to define your legacy is dumb, legacy is priceless.
Fighting is not a gentlemen’s game it is war and war is a battle of morals. Nations brag about before war, Nations use methods of self interest to motive them, and fighters do the same. The fight business is not for any one to judge a man charter because at the in of the day fighters FIGHT! So to pass judgment on Floyd or Shane is a man law violation these are fighters not golfers grow up so call boxing fans.
FRAUD JR. WANTS TO ENHANCE HIS LEGACY BY A NON-TITLE BOUT EXHIBITION MATCH WITH MOSLEY, aaahahahaha…SUDDENLY YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT LEGACY…d@umb@ss b1tch!
Pacman dropped out of school because of poverty. He could’nt even take a breakfast and lunch.
The ONLY legacy of FLOYD: HE IS THE FIRST BOXER TO DEMAND OLYMPIC STYLE TESTING!! HE WILL BE REMEMBERED BY BOXING FANS FOR THIS INCRIDIBLE LEGACY!!!!!LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone know why Pac dropped out of school?
On tonight’s episode of 24/7 he said he doesn’t fight for legacy, he fights for money. You Mayweather lover’s need to see this guy is as phony as a pink pony
Is FLLLOYD a chicken or a duck? Or a duck that chickened out on PAC? Or a duck that looks like a chicken. Cannot be a chicken because his bills flap like a duck. He quacks. Cannot be a chicken either unless he is a fighting c. But then again he cannot be a fighting k because fighting cos fight like crazy… no if’s or but’s. He cannot be a duck either because there is no such thing as a fighting duck.
I’d say he is a dog. With tail between his hind legs.
That is true, looking at the record Pac has a list of fighting guys who are just coming off of a loss, so I cosign that fact. He needs to fight the winner of a bout instead of a looser in order to get out of the shadows. Cosign……
@LIL GIANT
You construed the facts.Most boxer have had loses,but was it all the fights just before with Pacquiao? You just pick the fight that you want to post…and hope that you have the same command like the Mayweathers when they say something,even how silly it is…some people believed.
Nope , you don’t have it and most people are not as gullible as you to believe whatever the Mayweathers says.
Here is one of your attemp: LIL GIANT says:

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
name me his biggest win in his career and I bet you that fighter came off a lost. I don’t care if the fighter he fought just came of a lost thats not the point but fight the winner of the two. Don’t fight the fu&king loser of the fight. This make you look like a Bit*h. He keeps fighting the loser of the fight. SHANE Beg to fight PACMAN after he beat Margirito and Roach and Arum told him NO and fought Cotto the guy who Marigrito destroyed. Go to Boxrec.com and follow Manny career and they have been doing this for the past 7 years. He is a great fighter but fights LOSERS. I love Manny but he is in the LOSERS BRACKET.
*end*
Here, you FORGOT to mention that Cotto beat Mosley. A boxer can only fight in the ring one at a time.When Pacquiao is in the Wildcard Gym he is already training for a fight.
If anyone has been known to be cherry picking fights its floyd mayweather… Dont’ believe me… just google it and you will see a looooooooooooonnnnnnnnngggg list of people who believe the same. Is it by accident?? I don’t need to tell you, you should think for yourself.. Like Floyd says.. numbers don’t lie..
He should have have fought Sugar Shane long time ago now is he fighting a faded version of Sugar at 38…
He should have fought Cotto before he retired…
He should have fought Margarito when offered the chance a few years back…
Fighting any of these fighters now don’t make him great because these fighters are now subpar..
Only beating Pacquiao and Paul Williams will put him there..
But I doubt Mayweather would ever jump in the ring with any of these two…
the logic of floydiots are insane, but they kept on. they’re not shy to show their ignorance and stupidity. they are so out of touch, they even twist facts to suit their own reality and make believe world of the mayweathers. tsk tsk tsk poor creatures…
these great mexican fighters even though they have some lost, were consider great. before barrera fight, alot of people are saying barrera will school pacman, we know the results, before with erik norales they say morales will k/o pacman, we know the result, with oscar they say oscar is too big and will deck pacman we know the result. with hatton they say hatton is bigger and stronger than pacquiao we know the result. with cotto they say cotto the natural welter will beat pacman. you see these fighter before they fight pacman alot of people are picking against pacman after the the fights they suddenly become washed up and shot! unbelievable these monday morning quarterbacks suddenly they have a 20/20 hindsights!! you will always have contrarians no matter what you do!! go boxer of the decade!! AMERICAN media has spoken! they’re no morons in picking whos the boxer of the decade. only the fraud fans are blind!
LIL GIANT,
1) ledwaba defended supr bantam 5x…then lost to pacman bigtime
2) barerra had long winning streak…then lost to pacman bigtime
3) marquez won 4x…then lost to pacman sd
4) d diaz won against erik morales and previous other opponents…then lost to pacman bigtime
5) oscar beat steve forbes…lost to pacman bigtime
6) hatton beat lazcano and paulie…lost to pacman bigtime
7) cotto won over jennings and clottey…lost to pacman bigtime
those list above are to known warriors. in between those list are fighters who also just won their previous fights.
@Lil Giant
Again, your facts are wrong.
Oscar had just beat Steve Forbes
Hattan had just beat Paulie M
Cott had beat Michael Jennings and Clottey
So as you can say for the arguments you are making that he only fights guys that are coming off losses is a flat out lie and just as many as his fights come against guys coming off of wins so you really have no point, you are knit picking every little aspect of his career in an attempt to tear the guy down. If you aren´t willing to give credit to the only BOXER IN HISTORY to win 7 belts in 7 divisions there is no hope for you. And if you want to argue that there are so many belts that it´s easy to win one in each division well go ahead and show me another 7 titles in 7 divisions champ, where are they if it´s so easy? Oh, that´s right you can´t find anyone else because he is the only one.
FIRST thing there is 4 belts for each division. It’s not like back in the day when you had one belt per division. (145)Cotto beat Michael Jennings for the title Michael Jennings enough said he had a belt. And the 135 belt was a paper Belt David Diaz and Manny fought for. That belt was given due to the winner. And his (140) belt he did earn by beating Ricky Hatton. But belts don’t do anything but collect dust. Who did you fight to earn those belts is what matters to the REAL BOXING FANS
yes he d0nt care,y0u kn0w why?he cant get 7 different weight title thats why?as simple as that!en0ugh said!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
name me his biggest win in his career and I bet you that fighter came off a lost. I don’t care if the fighter he fought just came of a lost thats not the point but fight the winner of the two. Don’t fight the fu&king loser of the fight. This make you look like a Bit*h. He keeps fighting the loser of the fight.

@ Bro
NO Other Champion in the history of boxing fights losers like Manny. Explain this list of fighters. I mean Manny has been fighting fighters after a lost or unimpressive wins. Name me another fighter please. Go to Boxrec.com to help you out. These are just facts. Im not talking undefeated fights cuz we all know the only undefeated fighter is PBF.
Joshua Clottey lost to Miguel Cotto
Oscar lost to PBF
Barrera lost to Erik Morales
Erik Morales lost to Zahir Raheem
Oscar Larios lost to Israel Vazquez
Erik Morales lost to Barrera
@LIL GIANT
Your argument is retarded, unless these guys are undefeated all of them will be coming off some loss at some point plus Cotto had won his last fight, so did Paulie so your just straight up not talking facts here, get your $hit straight
Floyd doesn´t care about legacy, he only cares about enhancing his bank account, that´s the only truth here
Im not taking anything away from Manny Pac he is a great lil asian fighter. But all his major victories in his career that fighter was coming off a lost. He didn’t chose to fight the winner of that fight but the loser. Since Roach keep saying that Manny “Mitchell Kane” Pacquio isn’t a true Welterweight what ever tha fu@K that means he should go down to 140 and fight one of those undefeated champions or the winner of Shane Mayweather.
@ straightup
David Diaz is he really a fighter. Yes Cotto did beat Clottey but was never the same after Margirito beat him with loaded guns. But even with out those names look at his past fights
and most of them come after that fighter has suffered a lost.
Im not making it up. Whats the excuse for these fights then.
Joshua Clottey lost to Miguel Cotto
Miguel Cotto lost to Margirito
Ricky Hatton lost to PBF
Oscar lost to PBF
Barrera lost to Erik Morales
Erik Morales lost to Zahir Raheem
Oscar Larios lost to Israel Vazquez
Erik Morales lost to Barrera
The reason why pbf is not interested with the belt is because he is not sure of capturing it. SSM with surely give him a fight to remember. He might outpoint SSM but sugar shane might as well give him a KO. On the other hand, if floyd fights manny, he’ll keep running but sooner or later, he will be forced to engage with pac and manny will make him feel very uncomfortable. Well, it’s up to floyd to find a way to neutralise manny but if he decides to engage him, it will be the end of floyd.
its better to cement your legacy with belts because thats the evidence of a true champion.. 40-0 is nothing without a belts..
Floyd’s legacy? as a coward and cheater.
@lil giant: Cotto wasn’t coming off a loss, nor was Hatton. Nor was David Diaz. You talk rubbish.
@o yeah get sum: you say Pacman only beats fighters Floyd already beat, but I’ve not seen him in the ring with either Cotto or Clottey. Let’s face it; you simply don’t like Pacquiao. How about another fact: the only reason Mayweather is fighting Mosley is because Berto pulled out of their fight, and Floyd was left with no other option without losing face.
lil giant you ok ,what you wrote is crazy
@ PAC FANS
Since PAC fans want to be on this article. Name me the last fighter Pacman fought that didn’t come off a lost. Go to boxrec and show me the year too. This is the only thing I don’t get about Pacman. He is a great fighter but only fights fighters after they lose. PACMAN AND MAYWEATHER are in a boxing tournament with a winner and loser bracket. The difference is MAYWEATHER is on the winner bracket side and PAC is on the LOSER bracket side. So if MAYWEATHER beats SHANE, PACMAN WILL have to fight SHANE.
legacy?!! what legacy?!! come on dude!! come on?!! talking about legacy?!! (like the tv commercial) lol
floyd the one keep talking about pacman! he’s so obsessed and was saying that pacman doesn’t deserved to win the decade award!! what a sorry dude!! his mind is preoccupied with pacman while pacman is so happy campaining!!lol
why are you pactards even on this story ?? your boy should stick to fighting tomato cans or stay in politics…
Pac has only two options. Floyd or Shane. All the Arum Top Rank fighters he could face are garbage. Golden Boy has already said Pac will take the test to face any of their fighters, so that only leave him with two legit options, Shane who went to Pac gym and called him out but Pac refused(remember) and Floyd. He could fight Marquez again but that won’t happen because before the Clottey fight even Marquez asked Pac for a blood test(but you not talking about that).
Lets be serious and realistic. Pac recent victories came against men that Floyd previously defeated. So That kinda puts Pac in the back shadow of Floyd. When Floyd beat Shane, what will Pac do? He will fight Shane, another guy Floyd beat, always on the coat tail fighting shot fighters that Floyd laid the smack down on previously. Pac need to step out of the shadow of Floyd and start fighting men that are not coming off of losses and Floyd previously defeated.
f u can beat pacman…n bring him down to his knees….i mean f u can down pacman…fight with him bell to bell…so that u can also be considred the p4p king…u might be consider ed the best…might better than ali n robinson…as what u said…
u;ve been surpass by pacman….that’s why from retired status u came back…to tell u can’t equalized nor surpass the achievements of pacman….
what legacy?…even if u beat mostley…u can’t equalized or surpass what oscar n pacman achieve…a record in the sports of boxing…what record do u have…many boxers great boxers achieve same as u…but breaking n holding recor…u haven’t….srry for u …i tell the truth…so stop talking to much…u watch f pacman n mostley fight….exciting fights…not jst like u
yes that p4p title is like the oscar award or grammy award! even the fighter of the year and fighter of the decade ward is very very prestigious! unfortunately floyd will never win them. maybe this decade but I highly doubt it! he will be too old but you never know.
belts are important. it’s saying you are the champion. that’s what all major sports participants want to claim the trophy!
it seems their hero got balls in his mouth…got heart between his legs and anus for a mouth. perhaps brains in his sleeve. and floydiots are…oh never mind. (please be kind to animals) HA HA HA
this floydiots worships floyd for his undefeated record… shamelessly trying hard to put him of the same level as undefeated jc chavez jr. LOL. calzaghe, valero (r.i.p.) is way much better than him though. HA HA HA
world title belt????? they aren’t worth jack,floyd knows it and so do most boxing fans well the one’s with brains.the pound for pound title is what floyd wants and that’s not a belt it’s invisible to the human eye,but it’s greater than any of the so called “world” title belts.
manny pacquiao is on steroids
The greatest ducker in the history of boxing in America. The first boxer to demand an olympic style blood testing just to duck a presumed unbeatable fighter. That is one of Foyds Legacies which will bee remembered by boxing fans
Mosley all the way baby!!!
I’m dissapointed the belt won’t be on the line.
Floyd may not care about belts but there’s a guy from the Phillipines that has been collecting them recently & I feel should Floyd win but Shane mainatains the strap it will thorw another hitch in the deal to make the future fight we want to see.
as usual Floyde contradicts his previous statements, no consistency, that’s why i don’t believe his reasons about drugtesting, “cleaning the sports”.
My opinion is that Mayweather has never fought top notche fighters. De La Hoya was out of his prime way before he stepped into the ring with Mayweather, Mayweather should have lost that fight anyways, the first fight against Jose Luis Castillo was bull also, Mayweather was out punche, but who did that decision go to?. Who has he really fought? Juda?, Gatti?, . . .Liike I said, no top notch fighters. Mosley will be the fight that will question everything. He is ready to hurt Mayweather. We all care about money, that we all can agree on. But how much money can you really want. When you are making 30+ million dollars a fight for the last 14 fights, what can you do with it. To me Boxing has alwats been about heart and passion. Mosley has both, Mayweather doesnt have anything but a big mouth . . .
I think Floyd will win?
elgato, PUKING INA MO !!!!!!!!
At game loser hahaha you must be mayweathers boyfriend or something have posters all over your room and stuff hahaha learn to take an opinion
Mayweather is just a lucky SOB Mosley was made available for a fight (with a little help from GBP. Else, he will be fighting Matthew Hatton in UK. Eh?
I see both sides. Personally I’d be in favor of picking up the belt. Facts are that the public does recognize phrases such as “current welterweight champion” etc. – it really does help in marketing and promotions.
But again, it’s his money, and I see how he’d rather not pay some lame ‘sanctioning fee’ for another alphabet title.
Doesn’t matter in the end. Mosley is fighting Mayweather and the belt is just an afterthought.
Of course he does’nt want titles. He does’nt have any so he is sour graping. The only legacy he left is being a greedy coward. Imagine fighting with a rematch clause.
Listen. Floyd has made it annoyingly, painfully clear, that he’s concerned most, about money, not history, not legacies, not sportsmanship, but Money.
I’ll tell you this; Floyd better eat his wheaties…and that might not even help. I just watched Shane (again) destroy Margarito. This was a guy who was known for throwing 100 or more punches /round, and never got off more than 70, because Shane is a beast. Shane Mosley, is a violent, baaad baaad man. Shane is very capable, or hurting Floyd very bad. He turned a bigger Margarito’s head around, and almost removed it. He turns both hands over when he punches, he throws with conviction, and bad intent. Now I know Floyd is better than Antonio, but he DID turn down the fight against him a few years back, when he was offered the biggest purse of his carreer, at the time. Floyd probly never watched the full fight, cause he was buisy changing his shorts, and rightfully so. This is gonna be the fight of our generation. Growing up, watching w/ my old man, it was Hearns, Hagler, Duran, and Sugar Ray, now it’s these two hall of famers. I’m counting the hours.
Mayweather says he’s all about “enhancing his legacy” yet he recently took an almost two year long hiatus. If he was all about “legacy” he wouldn’t have “retired” and instead fought Cotto, Margarito, a younger Mosley, and of course Pacquiao.
His legacy will forever be (to many fans of boxing) that he ducks the best. Think about it. This fight against Mosley is UNIVERSALLY considered to be the toughest fight of his career. No doubt it’s a tough fight (Mosley is very good) but Mosley is already 38 (ancient in boxing years) and hasn’t fought in 15 months. If this is the toughest fight of his career then that proves that he hasn’t been fighting the best fighters possible.
Finally, fighting and beating Pacquiao would do much more to further his legacy than perpetuating this phony blood testing crusade. I think even the most ardent Mayweather fans would agree with that.
legacy has more to do with winning championships than it does about making money for your entourage to eat.
he’s been quoted as saying legacy don’t mean sh\t, skills pay the bills.
floyd is gifted, but to say titles don’t mean anything, it makes the super six, and the unification tournament hopkins, trinidad and co. underwent in the early 2000′s.
if there were no championship matches in the sport, and only ppv, it would just be a glorified WWE. at least the NFL has a playoff tournament, as do just about every other sport there is on the face of this earth. there needs to be an ATHLETIC standard, not just a FINANCIAL one.
nobody cares what floyd or shane or manny or wladimir makes in a fight. we care about who wins and who loses and how.

@ kray.. I think we could all go back and forth endlessly. there’s only one way to settle this. in the squared circle. let them fight, trilogy if it has to, but let them fight in the ring.I consider floyd as a great fighter too. that’s why all the media and fans want them to fight. nice back and forth with you though.

True…likewise…

@ elgato
why the hatred towards filipinos? did your filipino boyfriend dump you bec. you’re one ugly m*ther f*cker maricon?
are you sure you are legal here?! what kind of manual labor you do?
is there a atleast 1 moderator here?
are you legal here? do you have a green card?! how did you cross the border?!
go jump in brooklyn bridge if you’re tough!
Thats not true ot else he would have fought pacman
if anonymous is so tough why is he/she anonymous?!! lol
@ elgato.. don’t worry pacman will come here again when it’s fighting time. don’t worry, soon the mayweathers will find their way home in jail!! gangsta style baby!!!!
@el gato
Who is the last person Floyd whooped, Hatton (the same guy Manny destroyed in 2 rounds)? He barely won a mixed decision against Oscar (who was destroyed by Manny), couldn´t put away Marquez, decisioned Baldomir, decisioned Judah, in fact Floyd barely ever whoops anyone, he´s a defensive fighter who is more concerned about not getting hit than whooping anyone, hence the pretty boy name. Statements like the one you made are just laughable and borderline retarded.
even dana white the ufc president likes to watch pacman he bought 10 tickets and gave away to his ufc fans! he said pacman will never disappoint you. you can’t say that to mayweather’s boring style like congressmen holding a debate on c-span! people start lining up and leaving when watching mayweather.
no mama boy is another flotard babbling idiot. marquez was a bloated smaller lightweight fighting a bigger fighter! floyd was running from marquez toward the end of the fight! floyd could not finished him off! pacman k/o marquez 4 times in their 2 fights! the judge erred in scoring! pacman should have won both times! hatton roughed floyd in ten rounds before that lucky punch by floyd! pacman fought hatton at his natural and best weight! and was trained by mayweather sr!! what happened pacman k/o hatton in 1st round twice! and sent him to hospital in 2nd!! no wonder floyd is scared!
@ kray.. so why can’t you say the samething about pacman too. pacman is now generating alot of money for his fights too. alot of fighters are eager to share the ring with him because they would get their biggets payday. alot of fighter are calling pacman out even in junior middle weight. pacman held the 3rd highest crowd in hstory of boxing with a not popular fighter! and has 700,000 ppv with no popular dance partner!! the truth is all roads lead to pacman he is the cash cow of boxing! and thats the truth whether yoy admit it or not! all the popular hollywood actors pay a visit to him during his training in L.A. gym. now that’s something considering him bein a non american. technically mayweather is not undeafeated . he lost on his amateur days!
Both Pac and Floyd have very good accolades, if you are a fan of either and not willing to recognize the accomplishments of both it´s really just ridiculous and not worth debating. To say Floyd sucks or Pac is terrible are very emotionally charged statements that quite frankly have nothing to do with reality. Both of these guys are not good, they are great, regardless if you think one is a pu$$y or the other a dou$chbag they have made their mark on the sport and will continue to.
I am on the wrong web site, This site is only 4 a bunch of squabbling old hens who just like to trash talk worse than Floyd. Floyd fought Marquez (to make a statement) who gave Mannny 24 rounds of hell, If Floyd was a saftey first fighter, he would not be fighting Mosley. He could have fought Cotto who just got whipped by Manny. Manny don’t want to fight Mosley so he went 4 A punching bag in Clottey. Some of U need to shut the hell up, watch the fight and make Your comments after. Mosley will not be opponent 4 mayweather, and I have more respect now that Mayweather is stepping up to the plate and face Mosley. May The best man win.
@vliente – He, probably, would brag about them. It would certainly sell even more tickets (and PPV’s). But, 6 titles in five weight classes, along with an Olympic bronze medal, is nothing to sneeze at either.
The bottom line is MONEY. And Floyd is the best at generating LARGE sums of money for his fights. So, he boasts about that more. When he left the sport for 2 years he was already talked about as being 1 of the best to ever do it and a shoe-in HOF’er. So, fighting these other big name opponents, and winning, will only make him richer, and rank him higher on the list of great fighters.
The sky is the limit for a fighter with Floyd’s talent. The limit is Floyd, for these other fighters…until they prove otherwise.
Fmjr will always be known as a good fighter who hand picked his opponents guys he knew he could beat, even though they had some what of a rep. and record. He has made a lot of Money, and deserves it all as does any Prize fighter,They should all make lots of money for what they do .To me they are the Greatest ,Bravest and the best athletes,even if they are not the best in the business, they should get paid goo unfortunitly the Do Not
to all floyd lovers and pacman haters:
it’s one thing to admire your idol but it’s definetly another thing to denigrate another fighter. and it’s all together different to compare objectively the fighters records and resume! if you can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen!
To all these Mayweather haters…..
The guy has won SIX titles in FIVE weight classes. He has a bronze medal from the Olympics. I’m certain he has belts (or the equivalent) from his amateur days too. He retired as the LINEAL, Ring Magazine, and WBC WW Champion, as well as he WBC JLW Champion (ODLH’s belt). The WBA strap does not do much more for him, at this point. If anything, he will have to fight some nobody to defend it. Because the WBA said so. Can you name the #1 WW contender right now, w/ out googling it? Probably not. My point exactly. He came out of retirement to fight whoever was supposed to be the best. And make some big (money) fights. He did not come out to collect belts. He is making that clear. This is the biggest event in boxing. So, stop hating, and enjoy it.
totally agree with you mat…if he has 7 division titles he would brag about it. if he has 3 time fighter of the year award he would brag about it. if he has fighter of the decade award by the american writers he would brag about it. if he would be featured in time magazine he would brag about it! if he appeared in national tv show like 60 minutes, good morning america and jimmy kimmel show he would brag about!! heck these are some of the awards by pacman no wonder floyd and his flotards are green with envy!
Floyd will get killed by Bradley? lol omg, they already started!!!
floyd makes up things along the way.if he did win a few belts ,dont you think he be bragging about how many belts he had ?yes ,you can bet he be showing it off.come on floyd its almost about time show us you still got it.
are you going to hold together when mosley connects?
@ok doki doc
Its not after the fight they said he was weight drained… It was as soon as they looked at him… They said that before the bout even started, he waited too long to try and rehydrate himself and you could see where the stuck the needles in him. Is that Pacquaio’s fault, no. But he shouldn’t be praised just because of the name Oscar… Its obvious he was not the fighter he used to be, hell he wasn’t even a fighter at that point…
The greatest ducker in the history of boxing in America. The first boxer to demand an olympic style blood testing just to duck a presumed unbeatable fighter. That is one of Foyds Legacies which will bee remembered by boxing fans.
Floyd doesn’t care about titles since he doesn’t want to abide by rules of the organisation. He wants to make his own rules. He wants to enhance his legacies by his own terms.
Well, I don’t think the present and future generations will look kindly on this. If he lose his “O” record, he loses his cloak of invincibility.
I dont care about legacy. Legacy pays no bills, skills pay bills. This was what Floyd said in an interview with the Rugged Man December of last year when asked if he will ever fight Pacquiao for his legacy.
Mayweather is ALL TALK….
Take away the TALK and look at what do you get…
A very good defensive fighter with who picks safe fights…
I almost forgot that Floyd opted to fight Baldomir who had a belt instead of fighting Margarito. I guess belts aren’t as important as they used to. I guess Floyd is making another protest. First drug testing and now sanctioning fees. Maybe he should run for president of Nevada Sports and Athletic Commission.
Why is it so hard to see that ODLH was a totally different fighter against PBF because it was a more natural weight for him. I keep hearing and this guy moved up or that guy moved up but didn’t PBF move up to fight a bigger stronger fighter in ODLH? You can’t tell me that Pac fought a lively ODLH!!
About the belts- When ever I look at title holders in the divisions there’s always like 3 or 4 guys who have titles. Fans don’t even acknowledge half the guys who have titles so why would you want to be bunched in with a bunch of bums with paper titles?
irony of irony!!! the only disrepectful of this generation is floyd himself!!! he’s disrespectful of other fighters, he said he doesn’t care about the fans! if you disagree with him you might get shot!! I can’t believe these kfc’ers!
Floyd is fighting not for legacy but to for legal bills, legal problems, repossession, foreclosure, IRS tax evasion, attempted murder, and so forth. Hey Floyd, why don’t you ask Pacman if he can donate some money to you so you won’t be imprisoned!
floyd will win…and yes, it’s because he’s fighting gramps. floyd would get killed against tim bradley!
All this back and forth and finger pointing, lets not argue with each other about which one of them is the most stupidest, lets all just agree that both of them are stupid and together they both stupidly didn’t give us the fight we all wanted to see.
pacquiao is scared would never fight an african american
So they both STUPID! But even being stupid Floyd accepted Pac stupid demand, Pac needs to do the same. Don’t ask nobody for something stupid and not expect to get asked in return for something equally stupid!
oh yeah, get sum
i agree big time
And I’m a Pac supporter and yes i’m still saying fu@k him. It’s a test, that’s all. Stop giving us excuses and reasons not to and give s results, either negative or positive. It’s a test. As stupid of a request it is, it’s just as stupid to demand 10mil for over weight. So stupid gets you stupid in return and thats what Pac got in return a stupid request to his stupid demand!
When a boxer draws PPV money, who needs belts? Why pay sanctioning fees when there are 5+ belts?
Ain’t nobody scared of Pac. Matter of fact, Fu@k Pac, it ain’t nothing but a d@mn test.
I am not a Mayweather fan, I do not rate him as a great boxer, a clever boxer yes but great no.
I agree with Mayweather in part about title belts. There are too many belts in each weight class. One World Champion belt per weight class is all there should be. If any other belts are required then these should be at a lower level i.e. European Champion etc.
However I do not think Mayweather has turned down the title belt due to a sanctioning fee nor due to my wanting to fight the best fighters to further his legacy, as he’s not fighting the best fighters out there.
In short he does not want the belt as then he can no longer hand pick this opponents, it’s as simple as that.
I hope the Mosley beats Mayweather then we will see if he is a great fighter or not as only in defeat will a true great fighter come back stronger.
its officiall floyd “money” mayweather cannot afford the fees for the wba belt, hence why he has opted not to fight for the title, and rather save the pennies instead! hahaha
@ charles.. so why not fight pac without usada testing?!! if your flomo is so superior. you know why because he is scared!!! that’s the truth! and you can’t handle the truth B!!
Hey what’s up Bostilive! Mosley was not being beaten by ODLH.. In fact ODLH worn twice by Mosley in their two encounters…..
PACMAN is too much for Floyd….. Why Floyd insisted his drug testing process for their fight with PACMAN? Simple because he (FLOYD) knows that the only little PACMAN started from 106 lbs to 147 lbs who handily capture 7 weight classes can easily KO’d him! In PACMAN’S triumph he never questioned to whoever he fought in the ring. Excuses indicates that Floyd does that want legacy… He will avoid fighters who can DEMOLISH him.
“IF FLOYD WANTS A LEGACY OF HIS OWN… HE SHALL BUILD HIS FLOYD BOXING COUNCIL AND SET A NEW RULES FOR THE ELITE RESISTING FIGHTERS OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!
lol at all of the Mayweather haters and Pacfans complaining because he doesnt want the belt… Why do you care if he wins the belt? haha… He’s letting the “new” fans know that having a million belts doesn’t mean anything anymore… There are way too many paper titles to keep up with. If Floyd takes the win over Mosley it will mean far more to him and true boxing fans than this belt being talked about. Yall just mad because Pacman built his whole reputation on jumping through the weights collecting belts (NOT DEFENDING THEM) and Mayweather just sh*tted on that whole mindset haha.
ISSACC
You have beaten a desperate De la Hoya, Hatton, and Marquez (no where at his top due to the weight difference)
And pacroaid thought hatton dlh after floyd? huh? now fighting shane, whos no1?
Pacman is on drugs. what man do you know would turn down over 50 million dollars over a blood test? Do worry! I wait! None. But I believe the fans really don’t care if Pacman is taken drugs. They just want to see mayweather lose. Ha Ha even on drugs pacman will lose. I can’t wait. What will the fans say then when pacman loses.
Floyd is the biggest Dou$che Bag in the history of boxing and doesn´t come close to being the best boxer. This guy has to pay for friends, I feel bad for dude, I don´t think he has a single friend in his life that´s not on his payroll
Floyd will probably beat Shane in a great fight. However the Mayweather haters will find some reason why it was not a fair fight. Shane was too old, Shane was too slow, Shane was worn down by ODLH, WW, VF, and AM. They will say Floyd ran around the ring, he would not stand toe to toe. People who do not like Floyds personality cannot seem to give credit to a master boxer. Oh well.
I can’t wait till he retires and loses all his money gambling…haha
Are there any real Floyd fans?!? I think that with his continuous lame efforts to try to convince people that he’s the best, he’s just losing the little respect that most people gave him from knowing him because of his record.
You have beaten a desperate De la Hoya, Hatton, and Marquez (no where at his top due to the weight difference) and you think you are the best. YOU HAVE TO BE F#ING KIDDING ME!! How do people don’t see that…he ducks all the decent walterweights. After this fight even if he wins he’s going to lose a lot of his so called fans.
Belts comes with titles, recognition, credit, appreciation and respect, which are some of the things legacies are made of. If you don’t get these things today, what exactly would you transmit into the future for your legacy as a boxer?
floyd wants to fight the best?! he ducks the best top welterweight!!! he is cornered and nowhere to run except fight mosley. he was wanting to fight matthew hatton or malinaggi or that saul alvarez!! pleez wanting to fight the best?!! best my dupa!
So Mayweather didn’t buck up for the fees. I guess this means we are being sold yet ANOTHER POINTLESS PPV CARD!!! Chok full of undercards designed to spotlight some up and comers and not just the promoters cannon fodder…yeah right. These games are getting downright tiresome.
As much as i don’t care for Floyd–i do actually agree with him about Titles or belts. I mean, where did all of these “Other” belts come from anyway?? The true belt out there is the “Ring” Belt, and it should be the only one to really fight for, for Champion status. Plus you have to pay a sanctioning fee to have the belt?? If you already fought for it and are defending it against opponents–why do you have pay a sanctioning fee? It’s all about money! It’s B.S.!
Does’nt care about titles?
“Money”, “Cash Cow”, “Number One”, “Undefeated”
“Chicken”, “Ducker”, “Loud-Mouth”, “MaddaF—-”,
“N166@z”…etc
He does not know that those are titles?
Floyd is yet again trying to run boxing. Somebody tell him he doesn’t make the rules. Seems his arrogance knows no bounds. It’s a title fight. They should fight for the belt. Maybe he just can’t afford the sanctioning fees.
It’s all about MONEY
“at this advanced point of his career and is looking to just enhance his consider able legacy by chasing the best fighters in the sport”
HAHA are you serious? did you just start watching boxing yesterday?
I think Floyd really wants to fight the best. It’s very unfortunate that Pac won’t take the test however. But he is fighting Shane, whom I do personally consider better than Pac.
