Another day and more head scratching comments from Floyd Mayweather Jr. In his latest comments, Floyd spoke about how even if he wins, he can’t win. He’s “always in a no-win situation.” Is Floyd trying to get the public to feel sorry for him? Let’s examine his comments further.
“But there’s always going to be an excuse. When I beat Shane, of course, it’s going to be that he was an old man. I’m too big for (Juan Manuel) Marquez but I’m not too big for Pacquiao, even though Pacquiao and Marquez had life-or-death fights, and they’re both the same size. As far as that goes, I’m always in a no-win situation.” FMJ, Grand Rapids Press
If Floyd’s comments brought you to tears then take a moment to grab some tissue and compose yourself as the rest of us just scratch our heads and laugh at the continual gibberish that Floyd spews.
“he was an old man”
Floyd, you are always in a no-win situation because you put yourself there. Newsflash to you Floyd, Shane is considered old for a boxer despite his current success. Any way you look at it, Shane is 1½ years shy of 40. So, if Floyd does beat Shane in May then yes people will say it’s because “Shane is old”. And those people would be right, because Shane is almost 40 not because they’re looking for an excuse. That’s why this fight should have happened last decade. Perhaps if Floyd didn’t duck Shane for almost a decade then there wouldn’t be this “old man” excuse.
“I’m too big”
When you continually fight fighters who are smaller than you then you will develop a reputation of only fighting smaller guys. Once again Floyd puts himself in this position by the fighters he has chosen to fight. He comes out of retirement and says that he’s going to fight only the best in his weight class but then he picks Juan Manuel Marquez who’s smaller than him. And on top of that, Floyd comes into the fight against JMM over the weight limit. If he doesn’t want people to say he’s “too big” then Floyd needs to put together a few fights in a row where he takes on guys that are at least his size or bigger.
“I’m too big for (Juan Manuel) Marquez but I’m not too big for Pacquiao”
Vince Anderson Sacramento, CA “Do you think Floyd will be too big for Manny?”
Floyd is not too big for Manny. Did you see what Manny did to Miguel Cotto? He manhandled a bigger fighter. Manny has continued to improve since his last fight with JMM. Not only that, Manny’s elite skills will help him overcome whatever size advantage that Floyd may have. Hey Floyd, there’s 2 reasons why you are “not too big” for Pacquiao.
“Pacquiao and Marquez had life-or-death fights, and they’re both the same size.”
Johnny Winston Citrus Heights, CA “Do you think Floyd’s success against JMM will translate over to a fight with Pacquiao?”
Just because Pacman and JMM had tough fights doesn’t mean that Floyd will beat Manny. Does Floyd forget that he had to go to a decision to get his victory over JMM?
Let’s take a look at some recent common opponents between Manny and Floyd:
* Ricky Hatton went 10 rounds with Floyd but could only last 2 rounds against Pacquiao. So, by Floyd’s logic, that means Pacman should beat Floyd.
* How about Oscar De La Hoya? Floyd went to a decision against Oscar where some say that Floyd “ran away” in the later rounds. Manny TKO’s Oscar in the 8th round. So, by Floyd’s logic, Manny should beat Floyd.
Conclusion
Floyd put himself in a no-win situation with things he has said and done. He has a criminal history of assaulting women, tax evasion, and ducking tougher fighters. He needs to look no further than himself for the reason why he’s “always in a no-win situation”.
And lastly, nobody will feel sorry for Floyd because he makes comments like this:
"I live my life the way I live my life and I’m happy with what I do. I live for Floyd Mayweather. I don’t live for the fans. I love the fans but I live for myself. Self preservation is first. I must be happy first before I can make anybody else happy.” FMJ
