As Straight As It Is...Mayweather

Diego Corrales was his defining fight.

That took place how many years ago???

[Las Vegas,]

Oh he ducked Cotto! He ducked Cotto and Margarito! Really!

Maybe you people forgot that Floyd left TR in 2006. He hasn't done business with Top Rank since. So he's ducking Cotto and Margarito because he doesn't wanna do business with Top Rank? Then Pacquiao is ducking Marquez, Martinez, Bradley, Berto, pretty much everyone else who isn't TR. Top Rank represents Pacquiao and Top Rank doesn't wanna do business with anyone else.

Manny already beaten Marquez and a fight between the two would only happen at 147 a weight that we all know Marquez couldn’t hang at thus this fight is pointless especially after Manny already beat him.

Helmet man Bradley is still not even a proven welter weight and Berto already hinted he’s not ready for Pac in a post-fight interview with Larry Merchant thus making this point MUTE. As for Martinez, why does Manny have to fight a middleweight now to prove the naysayers wrong with this Middle weight doesn’t want to fight the best in his division?

I can't fault Floyd for fighting Mosley as he was probably the best guy for him to face at the time. It appears that Mosley can't effectively pull the trigger anymore but that isn't something that Floyd did to him, it is just his indecisiveness.

Floyd only has a few defining fights in his career and he is FAR from being the caliber fighter that he claims that he is and in the history books, Floyd's career will be marred with instances of insecurity and ducking other fighters.

Pac on the other hand, like him or hate him, will go on to be labeled as one of the greatest boxers to EVER LIVE. I don't like the catchweight stuff regarding Pac but, I'll admit, his fights are almost always thrilling and worth the money- (Clottey being blamed for the one semi-dull contest). I don't even buy Floyd PPV's anymore because they are usually no where near worth the crazy price associated...I'll stream them of course.

Floyd could have done tons more than he has such as beat all the top welters and challenged all comers if he were truly the next coming of SRR. I don't realistically ever see a Pac/Mayweather fight happening but if it did, a lot of people are gonna be surprised when Pac makes him quit on his stool. Floyd knows it won't be a cake walk as he has portrayed the potential matchup to be and his current hiatus from the sport, I feel, is his last and permanent one.

Blah Blah... Ducked who?!?!? Cotto??? Margarito?? What is Tony gonna do besides block with his face??? Tired of all these people bringing him up like he has a chance... 7 people have beaten Tony, I think Floyd MIGHT be able to figure him out. Cotto IMO would be a good fight for Floyd but its ARUM who won't allow Miguel to fight Floyd/Sergio. He hid Cotto after the Floyd/Gatti fight saying "he's still too green".. Floyd said before he would love to fight Cotto. Arum has never jumped on it as a promoter even knowing they could make millions together.

Bottom line is they said he was scared of Corrales when he was undefeated... Ricky when he was undefeated... Shane after his destruction of....Margarito!!! If you look at the timing of when Floyd fights people you'll see that he fights them when they are in a high moment unlike Pacman. Its easy to look now and say Corrales wasn't all that or Ricky or Shane or Oscar... But he dared each and every time to face them... He WILL fight Pacman and Cotto... He knows he HAS to... problem is he and Arum have too many differences because I believe even Pacman wants to take the tests and do this fight. Arum needs to let his fighters fight!!! He even admitted he wants to make Gamboa/Lopez ONLY when its convenient for him when we all know they should be fighting next. Fighters work for BOB ARUM, not the other way around... I can't wait for Bob to be absent from boxing...

Went on vacation to avoid Paul Williams, Margarito, Cotto, and Clottey.

Came back to fight JM Marquez who earned his P4P ranking at 126-135 divisions as a tune up for Floyd at a catch weight that Floyd broke.

Ask for more than 50 percent cut against Pac, which he did get but then decided to ask for OST against his biggest threat. Then also demand that there should be a representative from his team to Pac's camp.

After the Pac-Floyd broke down, reports of Mayweather fighting Matthew Hatton, Nate Campbell, or Paul Malinangi. But he fought Mosley who hasn't fought in 16 months.

Floyd said there was no 2nd negotiations but Oscar mentioned something about it. HBO even said it that they were on contact with Floyd's adviser/manager.

Now a talk of Floyd fighting Spadora, demanding 100 million for a fight, beating up a security guard, and again, in trouble with the IRS.

This will be like a magnet.

Where do i start with Floyd? He dont fight so he really isnt worthy of talking about really more than other fighters. But he keeps threatening to make a comeback so i guess that is why people mention his name. When Naseem hamed threatened to comeback he was talked about as well.

If we thought he was retired, Floyd would be forgotten. But then again, it is Pac keeping FLoyd in the spotlight by people wondering whether Floyd will fight Pac.

[MindBat]

Yet another thread proving Floyd is still relevant even when he's not fighting.

It's official. Floyd has a growing fan base even when he's retired or while he's on vacation.

[Ray*]

Mayweather ask for more than 50% and got it against Pac? Talk about lying to suit your thread lol.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing for Floyd and his ***** army, when it comes to Margo, Cotto and Clottey.

The *****'s are also infected by the "would of" "could of" disease. They seem to have protracted it since 2002.
