Last week, Floyd Mayweather and partner Karina Smirnoff landed in the bottom two, narrowly escaping elimination.

This week, Mayweather tried to rally with a Paso Doble. While the judges approved, the voting audience didn't and sent Mayweather packing.

"We went out swinging," Mayweather told AOL Television. "Karina's amazing. She approaches dancing the way I approach boxing, with hard work and giving it your all. Read the Full Interview

I always wante to be like Deborah Kerr; what a lady.our new Hollywood stars should kearn a lot from her: the only one I can compare her to is only Meryl Streep. She is gorgeous, seems saw her before on a celebrity and millioniare dating site like wealthymen.zu5.net or something. But don't know if it is her.

Floyd didn't deserve to win the trophy, his dancing wasn't going to get him there. Sorry, ALoving24! However, I was glad to see that Wayne Newtons' fans chose to vote for the best dancing and not their favorite person. If they hadn't, Wayne, would still be there. He was the one there, with the largest fan base, of the stars. When Jerry Springer stayed tooooo long before, it was a disservice to all that were voted off before him. They had a real chance at succeeding, he didn't. I love watching the show and seeing all the amazing dances and costumes. There is alot of HARD WORK done by everyone connected to the show. It's done live, which makes it very exciting!

Floyd is a Boxer
not a Dancer

I think the reason he didnt look good dancing is because he was to thin and small

didn't Floyd play the barber on Andy Griffith?

I love Floyd as a BOXER!!!!! I love the way he maintains his focus whenever he's fighting, but DANCING WITH THE STARS is not for him. He DID put in maximum effort, and it was GREAT to see him get out there and have fun. Floyd was very flashy and entertaining, but I just can't see him getting to that PROFESSIONAL level. I am not a dance expert, but I DID see many flaws in his performances. I kinda think it's because he's also training for his Dec. fight. DANCING and BOXING has different postures.

I don't like him except his performance. Many celebrities think so. I learned this from the forum of searchingmillionaire.com. It's a dating site for celebrities and wealthy people.

Floyd is a great athlete and it was evident in his dancing performance. I disagree that he was a casualty of the show. All of the dancers are winners, regardless of having to be eliminated. Mr Mayweather was a real gentleman, good sport, great competitor, and a lot of fun to watch. I wish him success in his upcoming boxing match in December.

FLOYD MAY HAVE BEEN OUT OF HIS CLASS.

BUT THE WHOLE SHOW IS WHO TRIES,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,AND FLOYD YOU DID GREAT, THEY WANT PEOPLE THAT HAVE DANCED BEFORE, THEY WOULD GET THEM. FOR A BOXER...............HE DID GREAT! CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.

Floyd was out of his class here. His posture was terrible although he seems to be a very nice guy and very loyal to his partner. Jane Seymour is gorgeous but agree with the other poster--very graceful but b-o-r-i-n-g. Mark Cuban is not great but his amazing smile and great personality are helping to keep him in the contest. The most outstanding dancer is Sabrina Bryan. Little, stocky girl with the big smile and lovely face is in a class of her own.

I enjoyed watching these two dance,,,sure he is cocky, sure he is arrogant, but most confident people come across that way. He puts himself very much into what he does and is very determined to acheive the goal. Hey, "dnyosmd1", what have you accomplished lately?,,,,,,,thats entertainment!
