    What annoys me about Mayweather is that I'm not sure that he WANTS to take these guys on. He could completely secure his legacy as a true great If he was to take those 3-4 guys out and retire. I DO think he is talented enough, but the guy is a knucklehead and for lack of a better word, ignorant of the people around him. The whole thing with his Dad is bizarre.

    The guy is a liar who wants to hype it up for another big pay day. We should all boycott his fight.

    This will look like his fight with Gatti. After Manny ducks another drug test, he will fight Khan next year

    That weigh-in face-off seemed so contrived by Mayweather. Like a let me start some ish so people can talk about it move.

    Ortiz is the good guy but may weathers training made me fall in love with him. Hard work, a smart Ron artest , and that's why I'm rooting for may weather talk a lot but can back it up.

    The article assumes a common misconception that Manny is still a pound for pound king of boxing.
    I actually don't think Manny is at the level anymore. The Margarito fight took a lot out of Manny, and I could easily see him losing to JMM.

    Unfortunately for us, Mayweather is by far the fresher fighter because he doesn't fight, or seek out to fight, for that matter, the kinds of fighters manny has.

    It would be a true travesty if Manny lost to Mayweather because of being past his prime, and this is why I believe Mayweather is doing all of his stalling. I didn't want no part of Manny after Manny dismantled Cotto.

    Forunately Amir Khan has the skills to take Mayweather out.
