FOR FLOYD JR - CAN A SHRINK PERHAPS HELP? PhilBoxing.com Fri, 21 Aug 2009  Recent published reports indicate that Floyd Mayweather Jr stated that he is fighting Juan Manuel Marquez on September 19th because Marquez “beat Manny” and Junior sees Marquez as a “better fighter” than Pacquiao. Okay, everyone is entitled to his own opinion. But that is no excuse. Perhaps the guy has been gone from boxing so long that he is now confused and does not remember the Pacquiao/Marquez fight results. Or even know that BoxRec still exist. Hey Junior, get on your computer and log on to BoxRec. If you don’t know how to do that, simply ask around. That should wake you up man! The last I checked BoxRec I saw that the records indicate Manny Pacquiao holds a one draw and one win over Marquez. And, along the way there were four knock downs suffered by Marquez. Where then did Junior get his information about Marquez beating Pacquiao twice? Perhaps Junior is suffering bad dreams from all of a sudden getting out of retirement to fight again. Maybe the heat in the gym and the stress of training again is messing up his brain and he can’t think straight! Could that also be the reason why all of a sudden he had a “rib injury” that caused the fight to be postponed to September 19th? How can he say that the Marquez/Mayweather fight is between the two “best pound for pound fighters in boxing”? True, Junior was once the best p4p but he is not anymore. That title now belongs to Manny Pacquiao. Until someone beats him, he will remain as such! And, Marquez has never held the best p4p title. Something must be seriously wrong for Junior to make such statements. Hey, I am aware perhaps this is Junior’s way of hyping the fight to get more fans to come and see his return to the ring live or via PPV. That is perfectly okay. The hyping, I mean. But he needs to be truthful and factual Many folks are already disillusioned about boxing per se. Releasing false statements like Junior did, does not help the sport many consider as “unwholesome”. Junior should know better than that. But then again, perhaps he does not really care about the credibility of the sport that made him who he is today as long as it brings him more money. Or something is really awfully wrong. Can a shrink perhaps help? Click here for a complete listing of columns by this author.
