Floyd Mayweather’s latest claims of dominating the sport of boxing for years and doing so in a very clean fashion has prompted some quick and harsh responses from his critics. It’s no secret that many Mayweather critics believe that Floyd has had a questionable career. Add in the use of a controversial drug and now you have critics once again shaking their heads over the insanity of Mayweather’s latest comments.

Floyd’s comments go right to the heart of what his critics shout to the heavens about. They say that Floyd ducked all the tough fighters through the years like Mosley, Cotto, and a rematch with De La Hoya. Here’s what Floyd has to say in regards to those who claim he ducks opponents:

* “First they say I’m ducking everybody. Like I say, line ‘em up.”.. FMJ, BoxingInsider.com

“Line em up”? There have been tough fighters who’ve come along Floyd’s career that he chose to avoid like the ones I previously mentioned. It only took 10 years for the Mayweather and Mosley fight to happen. Yet Floyd says to “line em up”. Jackie Evans Rancho Cordova, CA “Who does he want us to line up, the ducks or the chickens?” Jackie, I think he means the “cherry picked” opponents that he has faced over the years; Guys who are smaller and match up well with his strengths.


Adam Barnes Sacramento, Ca “Didn’t he retire and then come back and fight an easy opponent? How’s that dominating boxing?” Adam, yes he did retire in 2008, and then came back about 1 year later to fight Juan Manuel Marquez. Now, Marquez isn’t a bum but he was clearly a smaller fighter who was handpicked for Mayweather. The problem is, it’s easy to say you have dominated a sport when you fight smaller fighters and/or fighters who are clearly inferior.

“In a very clean fashion”
Either Mayweather doesn’t think Xylocaine is “unclean” or he thinks most people are too stupid to know what it is. For him to say that he has dominated boxing “in a very clean fashion” is hilarious. How many times do we have to point out the illegalities and bans of Xylocaine? How many times do we have to point out the side effects and the benefits of this drug? When will reporters hold Mayweather accountable for his past actions when they interview him?

Hey readers, do you think Mayweather has dominated the sport for years and in a clean fashion?
