Mayweather Ready To Fight "One-Dimensional" Pacquiao

Again with the bull**** money argument. He is already rich isn't he?

I don't know. I don't have a bank statement of his handy. Like I said before, I don't give a damn how much money he makes. I'm just telling you that money plays a big part in his decision making. He's trying to do what makes the most money, not what has the most risk. Don't mistake this for fear, it's just smart business. Floyd isn't scared of a damn soul at welterweight. You can take that to the bank.

nice one.....

I assume you were talking about me. Thanks a lot bro. I'm glad somebody can come off the high horse and understand what I'm saying. This seems to be going way over switchsouthpaw's head.

He came back and the number 2 fighter in the world wanted to fight him. You expect Floyd to just come back and take a HUGE risk on his first fight back? Before he fought Marquez, boxing experts were saying how Floyd could have taken an easier fight and they are surprised that he is going to fight such a good fighter his first fight back. When Floyd kicked Marquez' ass 120-108, people are suddenly talking like Floyd should not have fought him. Floyd can't win for losing. Everybody always talks **** but everybody knows that he's the best boxer in the world.

Lol see now you're getting somewhere! Imagine the so-called best fighter in the world coming back and actually taking a risk! That's just crazy talk right? Imagine that....boxing and risk sounds like an interesting combination. Leonard came back and fought some guy named Hagler.

Asking me whether or not I think he should come back and take a risk is just not even worth answering. I should probably jump into an drained pool to avoid from drowning, too risky.

Yes I expect him to take a risk, he is the greatest fighter in the world(ACCORDING TO HIMSELF AND HIS FANS) right so nothing he does should be too risky if you truly believe that, with risk comes great reward, life isn't just about cashing a check you are aware of that right? Again this isn't a ****ing rap video where fans care about the money you have.

Enough of the name calling. Are you trying to argue an intelligent point, or sling insults? I frankly don't care how much money Floyd makes. But it's naive to assume that money played no part in his decision making. I'm not making excuses. If you were on top of the world and everybody wanted your spot would you be giving everybody out there a shot? I think not. You would make the most of your status and money. Don't play games.

Look I'm not here to insult you, but don't insult my intelligence by propping up a baseless argument about money playing a part in negotiations. Yes everything is a business, but integrity plays a part as well, there comes a time when you have to ask yourself am I doing this just to be rich, or I am doing this to be great. Floyd has answered the first part of that question, he is already rich, now go about being great.

I'm not saying he can't do it. I respect his talent immensely, in fact I think he beats whoever they put in front of him, but he stills needs to fight and prove it.

Then he picked the wrong line of work.

Listen a ******ed kid could understand what you're saying, it doesn't make it correct.

Hatton moved up to 147 to win a title then challenged Mayweather for another title. If you are telling me Ricky Hatton wasnt effective and was overweight @145lbs vs Mayweather when he fought his entire career @140lbs then I would say to you that Ricky Hatton is the bumb of all bumbs and any fighter who beat him shouldnt get credit because he is merely a british hype job who was wrongfully the undisputed champ @140, was undefeated was propelled into the #5 Pound for Pound spot for no reason and once he got to Mayweather, the great white hype was exposed......

its Quite funny that posters think Hatton was unable to fight @ 147 when Hatton himself said that fighting @ WW wasnt a problem

You are truly ridiculous. Again, why did he go back down after his fight with Collazo if he was so comfortable at 147. Your evidence in support of your argument is that Hatton said he was comfortable at 147??? Really?? Then you must have believed him when he said he was going to beat PBF and Pac then. Hatton is and was a limited fighter that made the best of what he had and also had the advantage of mostly fighting in England where the refs allowed his roughouse tactics. He moved up to challange himself (props to him for doing something Pac is loathe to do) and get a huge paycheck.

Get in in your head man. Pac's victory over Hatton at 140 is much more significant than PBF's. It's not even debatable.

Actions speak louder than words. Like he has said, he doesn't fight for the fans or for legacy, just for the money. That makes him a great businessman but also a great disappointment in boxing terms. If he steps up and fights Pac and Mosley and beats them I will give him his due. In fact, I will give him his due even if he loses because the ATGs always lose at some point precisely because they keep challenging themselves.

Bottom line, PBF hasnt done anything of ATG significance in eight years. And it's a damn shame because he is amazingly gifted.

Well put and accurate.

Yes, switchsouthpaw that was well put. Much better stated than any of your posts because you refuse to give Floyd credit.
