Monday, November 2, 2009

1. Marquez didn’t put on 17lbs, he put on 7.
2. Mosley was NOT on a losing streak when PBF started calling him out in 99′. Forrest beat Shane in 02′.
3. Ray Robinson was never stopped. 104° heat tko’d Ray and a ref vs Maxim.
4. Willy Pep took a lot of damage in his career, dropped over 10x and 6 of 11 losses were by stoppage.
5. PBF did not come up in weight in 5 & 10 year increments. 1 year/1month/3days at 140. 11months/15days at welter before catch-weight vs Hoya.
6. Nobody takes 18 months off and fights a tough fight. Apparently the curator of boxing history RA feels this is normal protocol.
7. Pacquiao did NOT lose to Morales when he was 18. He was 27.
8. Comparing fighters from 60 years ago is utter nonsense. Boxing business is totally different 60 years later. Boxers in those times had about much control of what/who/where as the Funk Brothers had control of their music.
RA does not know boxing history. This is historical calumny of boxing at its finest.
LEON speaks the truth!
RA just a damn hater, Floyd is the GOAT greatest ever! dude these people just trying to hate on a rich young black man.
They can never be on his level he would destroy pacman with 1 hand behind his back.
so go ask floyd to fight the pac… let him walk his talk then..
bol syeet why would floyd fight the loser of Pac vs Cotto?
Floyd should fight the winner not pacquiao.
Cotto KO 3
PHUCKKKK FMJ… FIGHT PEOPLE YOUR OWE SIZE
regarless if the information wer accurate or not, RA had a point and the dude clearly knows about boxing. LEON, shut the fuck up, you just made your comment after googling the infomation about what RA said. You motherfucker also dont know about boxing fool. If your truly a floyd mayweather fan then you should let your bitch fight the best otherwise you can suck his dick and get some of his money. How can someone consider himself the best when he hasnt fought the best.
roe is completly correct. RA is a boss and straight up was just talkin shit to floyd gayweather. he stired up the truth a bit so what, at least he had knowledge off the top of his head. not google.ca like LEON prefers. mayweather is amazing but isn’t fighting the best right now, so he is garbage.
funny how you punks try n get all involved and put ya two sence in…get off floyds n ra’s dick.
ra isnt hatin on floyd.
ra is the best the game ever had/will…ever!!
floyd is a dope boxer, could be better. none the less still good.
RA you do have a lot of facts but in the Floyd interview you do come off as a hater. I mean you keep dogging Floyd for not fighting people and Bernard is doing the same thing (that pains me to say). How can you say that Bernard is a true champion now when he refuses to fight the man in his weight class Chad Dawson. The bad thing is that you brought up Chad Dawson in the interview and Bernard is doing the same thing that Floyd is doing. All boxers are out to try to get the money at very little risk and that is just the way I view boxing now. Do not get me wrong becuase there are a couple of real fighters out there that will take on all fighters (Paul Williams) but they are few and far between.
What have you done for me lately? As Janet would say. Just look at the last 5 – 6 yrs of each fighters careers. Floyd vs. Marquez, Hatton, DLH, Judah. Manny vs. Cotto, Hatton, DLH, Marquez, Barrera, Morales. Now compare the timing and weight classes of each bout and the data speaks for itself.
Floyd is NOT follower of the Sweet Science he is a straight up business man. He should be inducted to the Forbes Hall of Fame not the Boxing Hall of Fame.
No one can say he is NOT talented and gifted!! He’s got that and then some.
But “Boxing” is just like baseball. Where they keep stats on everything. And the numbers speak for themselves.
Floyd why put up excuses now when it comes to the testing? NSAC was good enough for all your past opponents. Why are they all of a sudden inadequate?
Just another excuse NOT to fight the best out there! Funny thing is…I think Floyd wins a decision anyway!! Styles baby…styles make fights!!!
To Leon,
JMM did gain almost 17 lbs. His fight with Diaz was 139 lbs at fight night but before he fought at lightweight, he was already at 131 lbs but when he finally fought PBF at fight night, he was at 146. So he was off 2 lbs, but remember what RA was saying, he skpped 2 weight classes to fight a guy who was obviously bigger. Floyd already had the advantage, came in at weight in 2 lbs over the catchweight, like he really need more advantage. He has no honor with the agreement. So what he paid 600 g’s, but he made JMM wait 2 more months of some fake ass rib injury. JMM was ready to fight on July but now he had to wait 2 more months, continue to pay his trainers, staff, facility, and other expenses. It was a bullshit dirty ass tactic by Floyd Jr.
Yeah, we know his fight was a tune up, but your boy constantly saying..oh yeah i just beat the 2nd best p4p and the guy who gave pacquaio roubles. Yeah when they (manny and jmm)fought at their weight class. It was a sham to make Floyd Look good from the get go. YOu know he boast how great he looked over a bloated smaller man. Yeah, he put his ballz on the table on that one.
To Leon again, Mayweather said to RA Manny got knocked out, but RA then said “thats when he was still a kid.” It wasn’t about losing to Morales but Manny getting KO’d, and RA was dead right. So you gto that part all wrong.
