Not too many boxers are good citizens, don't know why people are surprised, check out this Tyson clip talking to women.
It's been a long time since anyone got on Big Ben, he's been forgiven, I wonder why.You haven't heard anyone get on Big Ben? What rock have you been living under?
Stop throwing dirt on Mayweather because he's a young black man, who happens to one of the all time greats, while being filthy rich and one who speaks his mind. Pretty obvious why certain people throw so much dirt on Mayweather, showing your true colors.l
Try again, dude. Because he "speaks his mind." . People dislike Floyd because he's a POS as a human being.

I don't think he "whupped" Bernard or James. Montel is not even worth mentioning. He sure learned his lesson by moving up didn't he? You only move up if you can carry the weight and compete against heavier fighters. To do so without being able to do that is just foolish.. Move up in weight class just to prove a point and get knocked out in a way that ruins not only your career, but your legacy as well.Roy got put to sleep after he moved up to heavyweight and tried to come back down. In his prime he whooped guys like Bernard Hopkins and James Toney and destroyed Montel Griffin in under a round in a rematch.
WOW! Unbelievable. What did Lampley do?The media, especially ESPiN, made a big point of Mayweather's terrible past abusing women, but I didn't see one shot at HBO for letting Jim Lamply call the fight. I guess they forgot.
Can't find out what he did.WOW! Unbelievable. What did Lampley do?

Or they understand the difference between "convicted" and "not charged".
So a woman beater is only a lowlife if charges are filed...got it.
Hypocrites.... People can change. I believe that Floyd has matured a lot. Nobody in this world is perfect. Floyd paid the price for his deeds. I really respected the way he praised Manny after the fight. I see a young man who has grown up. He has become one of my favorite fighters.So a woman beater is only a lowlife if charges are filed...got it. Does he get extra points deducted because of the restraining order she had to file?

And that wasn't his first rodeo. There was more than one POS at the ring on Saturday.
One man paid the price and the other one got away...smhThe facts are that one man was convicted and sent to prison and the other was not even charged.
Setting your straw man aside, a reasonable person would see a chasm in the difference between the two.

He didn't get off, Lampley did. Thirty-five is young to me. So, what do you want to happen? You want to condemn him for the rest of his life? If the people he assaulted have forgiven him and moved on, why can't everybody else? Jealousy?Dude, he's 38 years old. He went to jail as recently as when he was 35. The young man excuse is absurd. Nobody lets Chris Brown off with that excuse and he was a teenager when he got arrested.
funny how you dont have a long post history but now youre quite vocal with your flomosecsuality. Manny has a torn rotator cuff. floyd fought a one handed fighter who on a couple of ocassions was still able to catch floyd with some solid shots and back him up on the ropes. this really sucks because now in the eyes of manny this debate of whos better will go on forever. its floyds fault because he recently admitted to delaying the fight to make the money bigger. this fight shouldve happend years ago. now we`re left with still no closure to this. Manny is out for the next year and floyd is retiring. what a sad final chapter in the floyd manny saga.A lot of boxers fight with injuries. Pac's camp wasted no time coming up with this shoulder issue, I call BS. Manny is not a gracious loser. Whereas Floyd had nothing but praise for Manny, after the fight. People who say Manny won that fight or even that it was close are either blind or crazy, maybe both. The way that Floyd controlled the fight was truly masterful. Am I the only one who sees that a lot of the biased opinions and attacks on Floyd are a product of hatred and jealousy. A blind man could see that. Absolutely shameful.
Yelling strawman..great. The point was about media treatment. Two men, front and center, same event, different treatment. Media types wènt out of their way to "do their duty" to make sure Floyd's transgressions were the main topic. I have zero problem with this in most cases. Lamply broadcast s fights month after month yet those same gaurdians of virtue never mention any of his past. No call for HBO to replace him at least for this mega event just to send a message. Nothing but silence.
ESPiN has promoted through air time ever Mayweather fight for years with hardly a mention of his disgusting past. But they pick this stage to expose him with no mention of the past of the voice that would be heard through the entire fight. I find it to be a fraud, you don't. The world keeps on spinning lol[/QUOTE
Nicely stated!
Agree that Pacquiao's lack of aggression was a problem. You can attribute it to carryover from the Marquez knockout, or getting caught by Mayweather's straight right hand, but I thought Manny had opportunities where he had cut off the ring well but didn't attack at all when given the opportunity.
First of all what does post history have to do with anything? Flomosecsuality? Wtf.funny how you dont have a long post history but now youre quite vocal with your flomosecsuality.
