[@oneway19781]

You are aware that thunder is the sound lightning makes.

[@Alexander-gj9ms]

LMFAO!! I doubt Floyd or any of his nuthugging morons know that thunder IS literally lightning!

[@Alexander-gj9ms]

Thunder is the sound caused by the electrical discharge you moron! But the fact that we think they are two different things is a relic of our ignorant history. For example way back when we didn't know shit, the ancient Greeks thought that lighting was a weapon of Zeus and thunder bolts were created by Athena.... So you can choose to continue the ignorance if you like. But that will make you the ignoramus! But then of course you might say "I'm not an ignoramus, it's just the sound!"

[@jeffhardde]

Fuck yeah pretty boy was a savage and backed his shit up

[@bulosmac5101]

Yo Mama No he didn't but he was right arturo wasn't shit compared to Mayweather. But Floyd wouldn't fight A+ fighters, as he puts it.

[@trip.6499]

[@darrenthomas1999]

Bulos Mac Yes he did, he fought the best fighter of our generation and he doesn't fight A+ fighters gtfo.

[@BigAssNigga311]

[@christiansoldier77]

"He is a C+ fighter and I am a A+ fighter" Everything Floyd said was true and he proved it when he destroyed Gatti LOL

[@IRO_SportsOfficial]

+Bulos Mac ...you don't know what you are FUCKIN talking about. Floyd has fought the BEST! NEVER RAN FROM A FIGHT

[@BigBoss7777777]

Oh please, he fought all of the best boxers before and after their prime. De La Hoya, Mosley, Canelo. He ran from Pac when he was knocking people out for fun. A true champion fights the best in their prime, not 6 years later.

[@Alexander-gj9ms]

Yea that's true... But why does an A+ fighter choose to fight a C+ fighter when there are other A and B class fighters out there. This is the beginning of Floyd's career as a ducking dodging boxing snake oil salesman.

[@NitroRCNerds]

I'm not a big Mayweather fan, but he did EVERYTHING he said he was going to do in this fight. He stepped on him and busted him up sideways to Sunday.

[@themoneybank]

great comment

[@komanellithegod2775]

SidewAys, front, backwards and inside out!!!!

[@JParks1981]

Nitro RCNerds I remember this distinctly when it happened and of course with hindsight we can see what Roy Jones said about "how could anyone not see this coming from the difference in hand speed" but I really thought Mayweather was just talking big when he closed the interview with "imma punish you" cuz I really believed that about Mayweather never tasting power like Gatti's But man, he didn't punish Gatti, he embarrassed him. The one actual knockdown wasn't a "real" knockdown, it was legit by the rules but was mental lapse. and so round 1 is 10-8 and as the fight when on it became ever more difficult to give Gatti even 9-10 round rather than 10-8 Mayweather without a knockdown. Most one sided PPV title fight I ever saw aside from a Tyson-Spinks style 1st round KO

[@JParks1981]

Tyler Hingleton yeah I think you misunderstood what I said, or maybe I left out a word that made it possible to take it out of context. To state it more clearly and leave no doubt, Floyd promised that he would punish Gatti, and he didn't JUST punish Gatti, he absolutely shamed Gatti and made Gatti look every bit the C+ fighter. So yeah, what I meant 100% clear is that I really thought Gatti's power would play SOME role in the fight because he'd always been such a warrior and had such a reputation for never giving up etc and his stock was high then after the Ward trilogy and having a piece of the title, and at no point was Gatti ever in this fight. We'd seen Gatti bloody, we'd seen Gatti out-classed when he stepped up to fight Oscar, but I don't think we'd ever seen Gatti embarrassed to that degree.

[@Alexander-gj9ms]

Yeah but he knew it was a mismatch. In fact everyone knew it was a mismatch! Funny how Floyd mentions Kostya Tszyu's name in this interview!

[@franklucas7891]

To pay for his funeral though that just shows he's not only about the sport the respect involved aswell is what makes him the greatest

[@sundayadebowale]

Kal Singh he paid for Gatti's funeral and paid for his children to go to school. Ask his wife.

[@Insertnamehere287]

Kal Singh he paid for both.

[@juganji587]

Gets too much stick imo. People forget boxing's also an entertainment business, in which Floyd's capitalised on and always backed up his talk. Casuals will slate his style of fighting but he's adapted over the years to compensate for his loss of power due to having injured hands. Hopefully gets the respect he deserves now he's retired.

[@christ1190]

Bulos Mac Either you're blind or you don't fully understand boxing. If we go by your logic then Gatti would've been winning while getting his ass beat. Mayweather was beating that man the whole time, stayed in control of the fight, and in order for that to happen you must possess power along with everything else to win.

[@wes276]

Bulos Mac if Mayweather had no power, Gatti would’ve walked through those punches. There’s a reason after getting hit he backed up.

[@ulunjisichinga3205]

He has power not just juiced power.

Box in peace gatti 🙏🏾

[@russelljohnson437]

Gatti dressed like an extra in terror squad 😂😂😂

[@themoneybank]

Gatti disliked Floyd so much he requested separate pre-fight weigh-ins and pre-fight press conference. A first for the sport. In true Mayweather style, Floyd crashed Gattis party, took over questioning and Gatti stormed out of his own requested press conference. This Fight was over before it started. sidenote years after Mayweather paid for gatti's funeral and expenses when he sadly died.

[@winycityfightfan]

It`s easy to talk crazy about a guy that everyone knew was "skill wise" a "C" class fighter! However it it came to fighting top fighters in there prime like Cotto, Williams, and some of the other big welterweights of the era he retires? No disrespect to Gatti but he lost that fight when he signed the contract.

[@themoneybank]

great comment, cheers

[@winycityfightfan]

+rite.io - fight. I mean don't get me wrong Floyd is mad skilled and I know he got heart I just wish he didn't concentrate on the business side as he did because we as fans missed out on some epic fights. I'd like to get your thoughts?

[@themoneybank]

+soxfan73 i understand everything you've said, without being romantic, we haven't really seen a Floyd before, he really means Prize Fighter, its hard to pick mistakes and his timing of bouts (from a business perspective) however to speculate we missed amazing hypotheticals is exactly that, hypotheticals, and i mean really, have we ever seen him taken to the hole? Not even close, he is a very very good boxer.... thoughts?

[@winycityfightfan]

Nobody doubts how good a boxer Floyd is but I believe your premise is wrong on "Hypotheticals" because in my opinion a hypothetical would be if Sugar Ray Robinson fought Floyd mayweather "Who would win"? In this case Mayweather vs Cotto or Williams or Margarito or even a younger Shane could`ve been made however Floyd had struggled for so long to get the fame he wanted and when Oscar finally gave him the fight that would put him on the Boxing "A list" he thought to himself I dont have to fight these big tough 147`s if i dont have to.So he retired and fought the 135 lb champ Marquez. I dont see that as a "risky" move but maybe you thought a counter-punching lightweight would have been a really hard test for Floyd. In any event If you`re a fan of Floyds`s or considered his fights "exciting" that`s your opinion. I just feel he never stretched himself to give the true fight fan a really great fight. But that`s just my opinion. "I`m sure nobody else feels the same way I feel".

[@joelates5334]

Floyd is one of the top 5 trash talkers ever!

[@RawOneEleven]

Joe Lates definitely behind conor though. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@joelates5334]

Floyd had to build that fight with Conor. It wasn't prudent for Floyd to verbally take McGregor apart. I truly think that Floyd could have laid waste to Conor if he really wanted to. There was so much that Floyd could have said. You see, Floyd understands the art of war. He understands how to build a fight. He learned about the finer points of promotion from the WWE. And he knows that you have to build up your competition if you want people to watch your product. So, while I official scored the press conferences 2-2, I thought Floyd won because he accomplish his goal--which was to sell Conor as a legitimate opponent. Also what Floyd was saying about Conor appeared to rattle him, as he constantly kept interrupting Floyd. Honestly, Floyd is revelation. He is different from your average athlete. He thinking man who strategically stays many steps ahead of all of his opponents. For him, it is not about winning the battle early, but rather it is about winning the war in the end. This is why he is so successful in the both in & out of ring. When it came to the world tour, while Conor stood as the crowd favorite at every stop, Floyd faced an onslaught of hatred and he was still able to thrive. This is what makes Floyd so impressive to me. He is easily one of the most remarkable human beings I have ever seen. He is like a crossbreed of Sun Tzu, Bruce Lee, Bobby Fischer, Gordon Gekko, Tupac Shakur, Winston Churchill & Frank Lucas. Conversely, Conor McGregor is a dime a dozen. He is a fairly talented guy who got catapulted to the top of the sports world by ripping off a self-promotional blueprint that Floyd had mastered for almost 2 decades. Truly, I don't think that I will ever see another Floyd Mayweather in my lifetime. He is a man who remained relevant across 3 different decades, broke all the records, beat everyone put in front of him, was on top for his entire pro career, reset the bar for what was possible, and walked away from the most brutal sport on Earth with his health and money still in tact (all the while making it look so easy). How is it that Floyd, a man who is 40 years of age, is still the biggest sports attraction in the world while in retirement? How unbelievably special is this? All in all, Floyd has transcended boxing, and he continues to inspire athletes both inside and outside of his sport. #TBE #50-0 #YEAHHHHHH

[@grapedrank666]

Joe Lates Well said Floyd was definitely a remarkable person.

[@RMGWOO]

@@joelates5334 I agree with most of what you're saying but I don't think it makes sense when people say Conor ripped off anyone else. If I go and rip off Da Vinci's style I wouldn't be able to do what he did. Those aren't my talents. McGregor is a charismatic dude. He has some natural similarities with Mayweather. Sure you can get inspiration from others who have walked the path before you, but that doesn't mean you're literally walking in the indentations of their footsteps. If McGregor had never heard of Mayweather he'd still be a good orator and shit-talker. He has that talent, and observing other people who are great at what you're talented at makes you better, but it's not ripping them off. You can't fake something you don't have. That said, McGregor doesn't compare to Floyd in other areas, particularly those you mentioned. Maybe if McGregor wasn't a cokehead with a constant erection over his own importance he'd be different. But he's enjoying too much acceptance. I think Connor is pretty smart and could be like an MMA Mayweather, but the circumstances of his life just aren't bringing those traits out of him enough. His lifestyle is more geared towards the things that destroy him. Imagine if Mayweather were white and Irish, so loved by the majority of the US. Would he have been able to be as successful as he was in the second half of his twenties with all that fame, ass kissing, special treatment and acceptance? Might've gone to his head too. Floyd was resented by the majority of the boxing world outside of the black community. I can see that keeping him grounded and working in his favor to some extent(though still morally wrong and unfair).

[@mahkioliver4531]

Classic PBF cherry picking! Arturo was already a fan favorite for all the wars he gave us. Floyd was giving, excuse my cliche but is seems appropriate, a virtuoso performance then he fucked it up with, what is his now signature punch, a sucker punch. There was NO NEED for the cheap shot! Mayweather had that fight, but then displayed classless sportmanship. Floyd beats Gatti on any day of their careers, we all know that. Gatti never had a chance to pull a W, but he wanted to give a good fight. PBF messed it up with that sucker punch.
