The Best? Act Like it.


Floyd.

I am sorry.

You will never be the greatest.

Not a chance.

I watched the fight Saturday night and I was shocked.

Shame on me.

I should have known better. You are Floyd Motherfuckin' Money Mayweather. Burnin' hundos and making it rain with fake bills in the club.

You call out eighty year old announcers because they ask you tough questions. Questions like why did you cheap shot Ortiz when you were clearly winning?

Classy bub.

These actions cement your place in the Hall of Fame of Most Talented Douchebags in sport.

You should be proud, would make your daddy proud that's for sure. Not that you care, berating him on national television.

Would Muhammed Ali ever pull that shit? Hell no. Would Magic kick Larry to get an edge? Don't think so. Would Julio Cesar Chavez ever pull that move in the ring? Not a fucking chance.

There are some athletes that go down in history revered for their skill, talent, and class as the greatest of all time. Never will those words be spoken about Floyd Mayweather. He embraces the villain role, I know. Nothing wrong with that. but there is something vile about a peak athlete trying to get an advantage through bullshit means.

Floyd if you are so good why must you sucker punch opponents you are clearly better than? The best ever would have fought Pacquiao long ago because their hunger to be the best would be evident to all. The best don't duck opponents and come up with excuses for everything.

For the same reason I still hold disdain for Cristiano Ronaldo. If you are the best, why should you have to cheat to succeed? Everyone knows Cristiano is the (2nd)best player in the world, why must he continue to dive and act petulant. I don't see Messi pulling those cards, why should you? I know he has become better with that but it is unacceptable to me for these players to resort to cheap tactics when it is evident that the player's skill exceeds that of his peers.

No Ronnie they don't hate you because you are rich and beautiful. They hate you because you flop and dive like you belong in London next summer, and cry like a petulant bitch when you don't get calls.

You shouldn't need to cheat to win. I am looking at you Barca. The Clasicos last season were the worst advertisement for football because the most talented teams were diving and cheating all over the pitch. Never can I remember an uglier sequence of matches where the beautiful standard of football was sullied as so.

Those who go down in history as the greatest are those who are noble in battle, in and out of ring, on and off the pitch. There are lessons to be learned, unfortunately in some cases falling on deaf ears.

Floyd go on and keep ducking the Pac Man because you don't deserve the hundred million you would make off that fight. I am sure you have plenty of excuses.

Real champions show their mettle.

Pretenders talk about theirs.

I would like to make a toast to the true champions of the world, you are few and far between, and don't deserve your names sullied by such company.

To the true legends of sport!

Not like Cris...
