Floyd Mayweather: A World Ambassador for Peace

[Thread Stealer]

:lol: :lol:

Mayweather Emeritus Champion!

Thursday, July 5 2007


As previously reported, Floyd Mayweather has informed the WBC of his decision to keep the WBC welterweight title and relinquish the WBC super welterweight belt he won against Oscar de la Hoya. It was also announced that in recognition of Floyd’s career, the WBC is appointing him emeritus champion in the super welterweight division which "turns him into ambassador of the WBC for the concord and the peace into the world."

Note: By selecting the welterweight division, Floyd could be in line for an eventual WBC-mandated showdown with interim titleholder Shane Mosley.

[platnumpapi]

yea we know what the point

[igotJUIC3]

whats the punchline?:think

[BigReg]

Mayweather is currently in the process of building numerous community centers in Grand Rapids as well as Nevada. He also hosts food drives during Thanksgiving, spearheads clothing drives for kids, and offers support to battered women. Floyd may not show much respect for his boxing peers, but he sure as hell shows respect for the community that helped make him who he is. Floyd Mayweaher Jr., The Peoples Champ, p4p no.1 both in and outside the ring.

Ok retard, I'll repeat, he is not a gangster but a gangster wannabe - having friends like "12 cents," abusing women and acting overall in public like he does, can not make one a peace ambassador. Don't hurt your gums by sucking on his balls though.

so these things classify him as a gangster wannabe?

thats not true my friend...have you heard from Floyd getting into street fights, carrying guns, doing drugs, or getting into any major out of the ring trouble?

I have not heard about drugs and guns but fights and women abuse indeed I've heard.

[kg0208]

He should be admired for his good deeds and admonished for his bad. I know he fucked up and did hit a woman, but if he has made peace with that and tried to make amends, the good things he does (if what the above poster says is true) should be admired.

I'll put it this way, if you take PBF's name out of it, and put that scenario up where a fighter hits a woman and then tries to make amends and helps in his community, people wouldn't say the same things they are saying cuz it's PBF.

Hell, Chico Corrales did far worse, and still had a ton of fans here and abroad.

[igotJUIC3]

he got into a street fight...damn...i didnt know that one.

all im sayin is his actions are not becoming of gangster or wannabe gangster...nowhere near it...have you heard what really is going on in the world starting at age 10...this man by no means is a wannabe gangster.

It is not nice to talk bad about the dead but Chico had only fans because of the way he fought in the ring. Nobody admired his outside of the ring "acheivements" to say the least.

[kg0208]

I am not lying nor insulting him. There is a thread on the board RIGHT NOW about Salvador Sanchez. We talk about dead fighters all the time.

Fact is, people ignored what he did outside the ring to cheer for him in the ring. Hell, Chico, who I admired greatly as a fighter, died doing something that could have seriously injured someone else and does ALL the time. PBF has done something bad out of the ring, but he has done many good things outside of it too, and if Chico can be forgiven his trespass, so should PBF. How is it any different? Because Chico was more exciting, but not as good, as PBF he should get a pass? Not for me....This is all assuming that what the other poster said is true.

But my question is, why talk about how bad a person PBF is (which happens all the time on this board) but admire Chico?

If I have heard about what is really going on in the world? Dear poster, I was not born in the reachest country in the world - U.S and did not even grow up in such. I was born and grew up in the 3rd world, the one that U.S only can view on TV.
Anyway, if you think that PBF should be and capable of caring the status of the Peace Ambassador of the World, good luck with that.

Floyd's definately not without his faults but so are many other fighters

De La Hoya - Allegedly sexually assaulted a women and then gave her hush money, never mentioned his illigitimate kids on 24/7(Floyd had no problem showing off his illigitimate kids to the cameras)

Roy Jones Jr. - Fights chickens, connected with steroids

Diego Corrales - Went to jail for beating his wife

Gerald McClellen - Vicious dogfighter(even bought dogs form the pound and tied up their paws and put a mussle on them so that his dog could practice killing animals

Tommy Morrison - Lied about not having AIDS

Hopkins - Spent time in the clink for armed robbery

Duran - got his nickname by punching out a defenseless horse

Hatton - Gluttoness alchoholic

Oneil Bell - Threw a machete at sparring partner

James Butler - punched out opponent after their match was over during a charity event, killed Kellerman's brother

Holyfield - Abused HGH, has 9 illigitimate kids.

Tyson - too many transgressions to name

And who of the above was awarded World Peace Ambassador???

[igotJUIC3]

Chris Benoit was the favorite wrestler of thousands upon thousands of wrestling fans. After his murders, his fans don't even acknowledge him. In or out of the ring. Why should it be any different with Chico. Now granted, murder and abuse shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath, but all of you do realize that Corrales killed himself with his actions that night, right? We can only be thankful that he didn't take others with him.

you cant be serious comparing these two actions....Benoit did not just commit any murder...it was his wife and his 7 year old kid....Corrales doesnt compare at all.

[igotJUIC3]

The point is great in the ring, despicable out of it. The people of ESB make him out to be God, when in actuality, he's better playing the role of Satan.

i see but Chris just cant be compared to anyone his actions were beyond anything Corrales has done.

[BigReg]

And who of the above was awarded World Peace Ambassador???

None, however several of them have received some prestigous recognition

De La Hoya has a high school named after him

Holyfield carried the olympic torch in 96

Tyson recieved an honorary doctorate from an accredited university

Remember, Adolph Hitler once was named Time magazine's man of the year(I'm dead serious about this). If that can happen, then why can't Floyd be a World Peace Ambassador?

[0-1]

But my question is, why talk about how bad a person PBF is (which happens all the time on this board) but admire Chico?

It seems to me that PBF angers people with what he does inside the realm of boxing (in his fights and his media appearances etc. to promote them and his brand), whilst people like Chico did bad things outside of boxing. So, people dislike things PBF says in interviews, such as badmouthing other fighters; having a disagreeable attitude (which some label wannabe gangsta); talking up his own greatness too much; etc. They also dislike how he acts in the ring, choosing the wrong opponents for them; not clearly establishing himself in each division where he fights; fighting too defensively and exhibiting too little action.
Chico in the ring is thought of as acting heroically, fighting with bravery, even recklessness, and fervour, giving always a great show to the fans. In the other parts of his boxing career, though I'm no expert, I don't know of him acting too big-headed, or too offensively so as to make anyone think him the arrogant loudmouth they see Mayweather to be.

Outside of boxing Chico may have done very bad things, and Mayweather may have done very good things, and the same can go for other fighters, but this is a boxing forum, and so I think people writing as boxing fans write mostly with regards to what the fighters do in the realm of boxing, rather than trying to pass judgement over them with the snippets we know of their personal lives. In short, most judgements on boxers round here are as boxers, not as human beings in the round, and I think that's reasonable. Perhaps someone can establish somewhere else the "General Moral Character Judgements" forum, but to me, this ain't it.

You do know about Floyd's run ins with the law don't you? Part of supporting a boxer isn't simply as "Is he good in the ring". Who they are out of the ring also tells you what kind of person they are.

Actually Floyd's only real run in with the law is when his former girlfriend,Josie Harris, accused him of punching and kicking her during an argument. Floyd was acquitted after Harris amitted to lying and testified that Floyd never hit her. Face it, Floyd is an outstanding citizen who works hard at making a real difference in the world. You need to accept that he is now representing the WBC as a world embassador for peace.

[quote=BigReg]Mayweather is currently in the process of building numerous community centers in Grand Rapids as well as Nevada.



I heard that too, building houses and community centers for disadvantage White kids in Grand rapids and Nevada.

Its nice to know that PBF doesn't forget his roots and the people responsible for getting him where he is.

Good job Floyd:good

Floyd grew up in Grand Rapids and 20.41% of the population is black. I'm pretty sure there were plenty of black kids that were beneficiaries of Floyd's gererosity. Besides, Floyd gives to people of all races. For him it's about making a difference.

People want to say it matters what type of person you are etc... this is boxing not a popularity contest. bragging and arrogance are the nature of sport- deal with it because it will always exist. fighters that engage in a manner as inflammatory of whatever should not have their entire character judged by people on message boards who probably will never cross paths with them...

[IntentionalButt]

Since when does the world care about the WBC? Ambassador my assador.

[DanePugilist]

He will make a fine ambassador - not.

[quote=BigReg]

How bout Nevada? Anywhere where the White population is over 60% it is not considered an urban area in the states. Floyd is a suburban kid, a spoiled suburban kid. Look at his antics, this aint true antics from a brother from the hood that he tries so hard to be. You can't be Cuba Gooding and act like your Marin Lawrence, it aint happening.

Look Floyd is lighyears ahead of Judah, but I'll tell you Street cred, He cant touch Zab, coz Zab is the real thing.

No. 1, White people represent almost 70% of the population in U.S, so you would expect most states to have a mostly White population.
No. 2, Floy lives in Nevada, what's wrong with him building community centers in the state he lives? No.3, where has Judah's street cred gotten him? He's disgraced himself in the ring numerous times, he has nowhere near as much money as he should, his wife left him,and his career is in shambles. Floyd is a class act. Floyd acts like Floyd, it's a shame you try to stereotype how people from the hood and how people from the suburbs are supposed to act.

I guess you would cheer for a rapist or murder as long as they were good boxers?:huh

[deram]

Floyd is just so unlikable as a person. He is a good boxer, but few people really care about him and his style inside the ring is boring as hell too.

It would be good for boxing if he could just retire his sulky ass. He has met crap in division after division and a really good fighter has been built up to be great by strong media connections. However, the point is not really to knock Floyd as a boxer, because although his resume is inflated and he is boring as hell, he is still good enough to be one of the three best (maybe the best) fighters out there today.

As a person though I run into 'bigger' people every time I leave this room. He is an unbelievably 'little' person.

[BigReg]

GRAND RAPIDS -- Floyd Mayweather Jr. is expected to officially announce Monday he will build a community center in his hometown.

The boxing champion, considered to be the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world today, previously said he is ready to give back to Grand Rapids. If plans go accordingly, construction on a community center is expected to start in 18 months.

Organizers say they already have a location in mind.

Mayweather wants to build several community centers, including one in Las Vegas where he lives. The idea behind these centers is to put them in key areas of the city, then clean up the neighborhoods around them by adding businesses.

A special VIP event is taking place inside the community complex at Martin Luther King Park in anticipation of Mayweather's big announcement at 6:15 p.m.

A rally was held earlier in the afternoon for neighborhood children, which included free food, games, and face painting. Organizers say this is another example of Mayweather's generosity of giving back to his hometown.

Grand Rapids Public School officials say Mayweather has donated more than $50,000 to athletic programs in recent years, as well as his time.

One of the boxer's initiatives, through his foundation, is helping to stop the violence in the community - a subject high on the agenda of many of the community leaders in attendance Monday.

"With the recent violence that's been happening throughout our city, I think it's positive that Floyd is doing this. He's reaching out to the people and to the community, to GRPS and the greater Grand Rapids area. I truly believe this will be a win-win situation for everyone," Harry Campbell, a GRPS board member told 24 Hour News 8.

I don't cheer fo De La Hoya, he's a disgusting rapist. I never said out of the ring shouldn't matter. That's why I like Floyd, his out of the ring humanitarian efforts are exemplary

Didn't he hit a women or two outside a nightclub? I don't mean his wife, but at another time.

I'm glad he does do some good with his money. Most professional athletes do a lot of good with they money they won. They just don't get the press, since good news doesn't sell.

[Lance_Uppercut]

From boxing.scen.e

"In 2002 he pleaded guilty to two charges of misdemeanor domestic violence. In 2004, a Nevada justice of the peace ordered Mayweather to undergo "impulse control" counseling and sentenced him to a one year suspended jail sentence after he was convicted of misdemeanor battery of two women in a Las Vegas nightclub.

Also in 2004, an arrest warrant was issued for Mayweather for failure to appear at a trial in his hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan where he was accused of kicking a bar bouncer in the head during a melee at The Radio Tavern. Mayweather pleaded no contest to the charge of misdemeanor assault and battery and he was eventually fined and ordered to perform community service."

Truth on Zab. I was always hard on him for his attitude. Great talent and potential, but he didn;t have the ethic. But I would like to see him turn it around.

[Thread Stealer]

I guess you would cheer for a rapist or murder as long as they were good boxers?:huh

Only Mike Tyson. I won't comment on whether or not he was guilty of what he went to prison for in Indiana, but no doubt he did some terrible things.

I think Tony Ayala is a waste of talent and a waste of human life. Jo-el Scott should be tortured to death. James Butler should be bludgeoned with a hammer.

But for some reason, I guess I because of the excitement he brought to the ring and his style, I rooted for him (at least late in his career) more than anyone else.

[Proud Warrior]

He should be admired for his good deeds and admonished for his bad. I know he fucked up and did hit a woman, but if he has made peace with that and tried to make amends, the good things he does (if what the above poster says is true) should be admired.

I'll put it this way, if you take PBF's name out of it, and put that scenario up where a fighter hits a woman and then tries to make amends and helps in his community, people wouldn't say the same things they are saying cuz it's PBF.

Hell, Chico Corrales did far worse, and still had a ton of fans here and abroad.Any man who hits a women never deserves respect,i know he dose not drink and do drugs so where is his excuse? Cuz thats wot most so called men blame it on,i think wife or women beaters should be put up against a wall and stoned by there victims......!:fire

[pit]

I have not heard about drugs and guns but fights and women abuse indeed I've heard.

again the woman that claimed he beat her also admitted she LIED about the beating ..

Naming the faults of others doesn't excuse his. It's bringing in stuff that has no place here. They are not connected to Floyd, they're not named Peace Ambassador for the WBC, the only (vague) connection they have to Floyd is that they have the same profession.

Your addition of Hitler in the next post is even worse. It suggests that honoring horrid people for something they're not is a good thing to continue doing. I'm sure that's not what you meant, as I'm also sure you have no idea what you're typing up half the time.

"World Ambassador for Peace" eh?

Is he gonna be dropping into Iraq anytime soon to try and calm things down over there? :think

I didn't think so, so let's all just calm down and get past the hyperbole that this bullshit title bestowed upon him seems to incite.

Naming others faults certainly doesn't excuse any past transgressions committed by Floyd. Violence against women is unacceptable. However, Floyd underwent "impulse-control" counseling for that incident. His continued efforts to support battered women(he spearheads food drives for battered women) since that incident show that he has changed and is willing to help the very people he hurt. That's what being a World Ambassador for Peace is about.

Honoring horrid people for something they're not is not a good thing. However, at the time Hitler was named Man of the Year, he hadn't shown his darkside. He had taken Germany out of financial doldrums and restored the pride of a once great nation. Unfortunately Hitler turned out to be a pyschotic tyrant who was a proponent of genocide. He discgraced Germany, and the country almost became a permanent territory of the Soviet Union because of his wreckless actions. Time Magazine jumped the gun on Hitler before knowing what type of person he was. The WBC has seen the worst Floyd has done, and they have seen how he has turned his life around and is now a proponent of peace and prosperity instead of violence and destruction.

The only reason PBF donates to these things is in a PR effort to erase his transgressions against women.

It's nothing more than PR bullshit to clear his bad rep, and you know it.

'Saint Floyd'? I don't think so.

men make mistakes. If a woman gets the shit smacked out of her... that is unfortunate... not acceptable but most certainly nothing that can't be put in the past. quit acting like the worth of a man is forever destroyed due to an altercation with a woman, an altercation that hypocrites who put on a fasad as if they "love" and "honor" women so much to the point of senseless worship, want to ELEVATE to THE STATUS OF beating women... THE WOMAN WAS A MANIPULATIVE LYING LOW LIFE who recanted her statements. There was no beating, now Diego Coralles beat his pregnant wife- but all you here and heard was how exciting his fights are. There are ethnic, nationalistic undertones of envy and bigotry in many posts regarding mayweather. The logic of some of his naysayers reveals a blinding hate. I am not labeling this percieved bigoted hate but I am guessing the majority of the mayweather hate is from a Hispanic- Mexican base...

First people say Floyd is a piece of shit. Then when it is shown that he commits many charitable deeds you want to question his motives. It's impossible for any of us to truley know Floyd's motives. However, the end results are the same, people are being helped because of Floyd. It's a shame people like you feel the need to unjustly discredit a man who is doing alot to make a positive difference in this world. Floyd works hard, doesn't take his talent for granted, is accesible to his fans and the media, and gives back to the community. Floyd might not be Saint, but his extradordinary work ethic and dedication to the community are what makes him A World Ambassador for Peace.

The WBC has long been an organization striving for peace throughout the world. It dates way back when the WBC put an end to World War II.

Mayweather Emeritus Champion!

Thursday, July 5 2007


As previously reported, Floyd Mayweather has informed the WBC of his decision to keep the WBC welterweight title and relinquish the WBC super welterweight belt he won against Oscar de la Hoya. It was also announced that in recognition of Floyd’s career, the WBC is appointing him emeritus champion in the super welterweight division which "turns him into ambassador of the WBC for the concord and the peace into the world."

Note: By selecting the welterweight division, Floyd could be in line for an eventual WBC-mandated showdown with interim titleholder Shane Mosley.

I still dont understand this

What transgressions against women? Do you know the specific cases and circumstances? Probably not. Do you know how the legal system works when a woman misuses authorities? A man is AUTOMATICALLY guilty. You are just speaking on crap you don't know.

Haters are going to hate. :roll:

thanks good not for UNESCO

[Don Q]

Ok retard, I'll repeat, he is not a gangster but a gangster wannabe - having friends like "12 cents," abusing women and acting overall in public like he does, can not make one a peace ambassador. Don't hurt your gums by sucking on his balls though.

Listen you faggot, PBF has done more for good than for bad and he sure as hell does more than you for the world. So do yourself a favor and STFU you internet gangsta wannabe!:vonnecunt
