De La Hoya destroys Floyd Mayweather: "Before Golden Boy Promotions, nobody watched your fights!!!!"
- Thread starter Newzz
- Start date
Yup. The guy who was just selling ggg/Lemiuex on ppv has a problem with Floyd/Berto.
Talking about himself moving up to middleweight when he is a bigger guy than Floyd. Putting all of the blame on Floyd for the Pacman fight not happening 5 years ago when most of the blame goes on the guy who wasover random testing. Margarito ain't shyt but a cheating bum fukk him
I'll give him Punisher though. The rest of this shyt is him spilling his feelings in the air Floyd has been fighting the same way for a long time if anyone expecting something different for Floyd/Manny that's on them. Should the blame go to the guy who fighting the same style for how many years now or the "exciting fighter" ?
And@ Oscar of all people talking about someone's legacy
I disagree with all of this... except the GGG/Lemieux thing and that's only becuz I didn't expect it to tank the way it did.
That Salt
How is salt unless Floyd was initially salty when he went at him?

Your broad loves me.....
Oscar stay talking shyt about Floyd. fukk outta hereHe should be when Floyd pops up outta nowhere saying: "You gotta realize this, we all know Oscar De La Hoya owns the Ring Magazine. That shows you; he has no fighters but Canelo. Basically, it's like he's trying to steal her from Dana White. Richard Shaefer, he built Golden Boy from the ground up, helped them make tons and tons of money, and what did this guy do? This is real talk, how can Canelo or any fighter hold their head up high and say, 'You know what? I'm proud for Oscar, a guy that dressed in drag and been on coke.' I mean, the world knows this. How can you hold your head up high and say, 'You know what? I'm proud for this person to be my promoter',"

Inspire.
And vice versa. Let's not pretend like Floyd didn't start randomly throwing shots at The Snowman first

2x...and defending
Yeah, he sounds salty. Revisiting the past usually always sounds salty. There is a lot of truth in there and Mayweather fans won't like it.Oh yea...he's definitely salty
ODH just did it in a more aggressive and demeaning way than the boxing writers do. The truth is Floyd is an all-time great and he will be remembered as such and ODH knows this. His point is true in that Floyd won't go down as having a great resume compared to the other historically great fighters because he didn't fight most top level fighters in their prime and did take a more cautious career path (without every blatantly ducking anyone). Floyd's one chance to erase that was a fight vs. Pacquiao while both were in their primes. Now Floyd shouldn't carry the whole burden, there is plenty of blame to go around, but it happened. Now when you look back at Floyd's career there is usually two career defining fights: his fight vs. ODH which built him into a PPV star, and Corrales, as many view that as his greatest performance ever.
There will always be criticism over Floyd and his fear of losing his "O". To casuals, losing a fight is a big deal; to historians, losing a fight often times can elevate your historical perception because it likely was vs. another excellent fighter. This is where ODH wins. Off of just wins and losses as numbers, most casuals won't be impressed by ODH. Do the real digging and see who he fought and ODH will always be viewed with more reverence than many fighters who had better records because he fought the best of the best for a long time.
Now all of this wasn't Floyd's fault. He didn't fight in a time period where the competition was quite as good as when ODH was in his prime. But there were opportunities to build a wall against that argument and for various reasons certain fights didn't happen. Floyd is still an all time great.
Did that guy just compare young Canelo fighting Floyd Mayweather.....to young Floyd Mayweather fighting GENARO HERNANDEZ?????????
I was likeDid that guy just compare young Canelo fighting Floyd Mayweather.....to young Floyd Mayweather fighting GENARO HERNANDEZ?????????
when I read that. And why copy a post from FB like it is some profound shyt?
This thread has gotten completely ridiculous.
What you say is not true at all
Floyd beat more HOFs than anyone in recent history
if Floyd resume is trash EVERYONE's resume is trash lmao
Floyd was highly ducked by Mosley when Floyd was in his prime with a dynamic offensive style
Oscar post reeks of someone in a youtube
You can't dismiss 49-0 when he been a champ since 1998
dismissing that is dismissing the ENTIRE SPORT OF BOXING
which Oscar doesn't mind doing since he put Rhonda Rousey on the cover of ring magazine
Golden Boy ain't been shyt since richard left

Your broad loves me.....
nikka you only doing this because he shytted on Broner.... I see you nikkaAnd vice versa. Let's not pretend like Floyd didn't start randomly throwing shots at The Snowman first
Who are you?
I noticed that the only time you're in here is when it is something Floyd related, which to me means you need to stay the fukk out. Dead ass serious. You have no knowledge of the sport just a Floydie. Kinda like @Ed MOTHERfukkING G
Where the fukk you been? Didn't Floyd start this?
Did that guy just compare young Canelo fighting Floyd Mayweather.....to young Floyd Mayweather fighting GENARO HERNANDEZ?????????
what's wrong with the comparison
Floyd was the young guy taking out the old champion which is what is suppose to be done
the difference is Floyd stopped the young guy from becoming a star
if Canelo beat Floyd, he would be a mega star
This is where I find flaw in this thinking. Most fight fans can agree that Floyd is on the short list for more than "boxer who made the most money". Any respected circle has Floyd on the short list of having the best defense. Any respected circle has Floyd on the short list of being one of the smartest fighters. So no matter how Oscar tries to spin what Floyd career narrative will be, he's lying to himself and to his followers. He's more than a money maker, he was actually one of the last shining stars in terms of skill the game will see. Now he got people out here giving extra credit for losses. There is no "fear of losing an 0" when Floyd has fought and beat you (Oscar), Pac, and dropped MAYBE 3 rounds combined to the two guys you're peddling as the fight to return boxing to where it needs to be on the 21st. Oscar danced with Tito, Sweet Pea, Chavez, Hopkins, Mosley, and Pac. And apparently he couldn't get his best numbers until he fought a guy "nobody knew"??? Keep running with that rhetoric. Cause when a man fights 20 plus World Champions and still gets looked at as if he didn't "fight" anyone, then the game done really changed. Here Floyd was damn near 40 and each fight the public was clamoring for him to fight the biggest and baddest (even a damn Middleweight). Yet in the midst of Oscar run as the man, he sprinkled in a Derrell Coley in between Tito and Shane, a Javier Castillejo in between Gatti and Vargas followed by a Luis Campas. So don't get it twisted. The luxuries afforded all top dogs in the game all of a sudden became no longer the norm when Floyd stands atop the mountain? SRL fought 40 times......and yet most "fans" can name only 3 of his opponents. Cut the crap Oscar....and anybody subscribing to this hissy fit.
Nice try scrub.
