The boxing promoters hate Mayweather because he refused to be exploited by them, preferring to negotiate his own deals himself and bank the money, unlike other boxers who get paid upfront and make almost nothing from the publicity their fights generate. The promoters, and their overlords, mostly white, have launched a heavy media campaign against Mayweather, and unfortunately, even blacks have bought into the propaganda.

@Jus Blazin, first let me begin by thank you ,for drawing my attention to that fight. To be honest, i have never watched it that comprehensively, like i did today. I concur, it was a brilliant show from both boxers.i also admit Sugar Ray Leonard was awesome to watch.However, i find Mayweather more brilliant than Sugar Ray. Floyd doesnt allow himself to be punished,because he realised ,the less blows you take, the longer you can last not only in the ring ,but also in the entire career. Dont forget Pacman is a southpaw and southpaws are really hard to fight against. However, Floyd made Pacman look ordinary. This is an art everybody has to appreciate. However, i know you may have never stepped in a ring and most probably you dont understand the dangers a southpaw poses. Since you seem to love brawlers, have a look at Floyd vs Hatton. Hatton fought both Floyd and Pacman and he said before the fight that Floyd will be too intelligent for pacman...... ps. I am not moved by opinion of others about my opinion.

If Floyd was white. We would have read in those white owned media, of how intelligent and brilliant he is. They would not hesitate to write of his tactical discipline and hard work in the gym. They would flood us with his tough negotiating skills. But he is Black. He can only be a thug.They are probably wondering why he doesnt sit somewhere in a prison. TBE

Just as the fight did not compare with those of yore, the manner of the victory holds him back from the company of such as Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard and Joe Louis.

None other than Sugar Ray Leonard himself was among the many hoping that the Money Man versus the PacMan would put the fight game back atop the glorious pedestal once occupied by himself, Tommy Hearns, Marvin Hagler and Roberto Duran.

No such luck.

And I asked you to mention a classic Floyd match. Remember, I said FM is a defensive genius, has ring intelligence, but...

I would go for Floyd vs Oscar dela Hoya. I also find Floyd vs Judah worth mentioning but make sure you watch Floyd vs Hatton and give me your opinion

Yep, watch FM vs Jab Judah, FM vs Macquez and FM vs Miguel Cotto. Infact watch both FM and MP vs this 3.

Ricky Hatton was not upto it but was overhyped by the Brits.

Firstly because He is a wife beater.

And one time he was being asked by a black radio station why he never donates to charity and he said he does not belieive in helping others and only makes money for himself. This is no joke, I actually listened to the interview on radio.

Miguel Cotto made Floyd admit, Miguel was the hardest nut to crack for him. However, i chose Hatton as a typical brawler and Show guys, that Floyd also knows how to take care of brawlers too.
