A question for Floyd fans

ray leonard came back from retirement to challenge bigger and stronger champions. he didn't retire without fighting hearns only to come back to fight arguello at 154. Duran at 168?

What do you make of Mayweather "retiring" when Cotto was at the top of the division, Margarito was the toughest bastard around, and there was a 7'0" tall freak who threw 1,000 punches a round all wanting a shot at him? But then he came back when Cotto had already got the shit beat out of him, Margarito's reputation was in shambles, and Williams was fighting at 160? (I was talking with Clegg earlier today and he brought up the above, and I figured it was too good not to make a thread for.) Ok, I'm a big fan of Floyd. I think he's the best of our era and when he retire a told myself: that's sad, but I always respect others descision with what they do with their life. But who was that voice in my head saying: Is a pussy... pussy... pussy... PUSSY!!!! I still respect and like Floyd for is accomplishement, but... their is a but... and that's annoying.

Oh hey dick eater. i don't know this guy but he has exceptional taste in football teams. green k.

Difference being that a green bar under your avatar makes you feel better when you wake up. A red bar under my avatar does absolutely nothing for me. But yea go for it, get all of your dupes and all of your friends to red K, let's see how long it takes Bore Hard. I'm really starting to think your parents raised you on a steady diet of Pixy Stix and had you stare at the sun all day.

Yeah I forgot about the countless wars Floyd was in where his body was battered and bruised. http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5082/51614169.jpg LOL, Mr. 22 year old told me to "eat a di.ck" How do you eat one of these "di.cks" Dwiens? Any tips? Yeah, I assume you just put it in your mouth. Any more dumb questions? I don't want to hear your assumptions. I want to know your personal preference. You're the one bringing up eating dick. In exchange for sparing me the red K, I will have Dwiens perform fellatio on you. Deal? I get that every night already, fuckface. Try again. Can't say that I'm shocked. What exactly, are you not shocked by? The fact that D is a bit of a whore? The fact that I like getting blowjobs? Or the fact that I'm going to turn your ass red a.s.a.p? Or all of the above? http://www.megavideo.com/?v=ZBAFUJR9 Oh, goddamn. Good find. Look at Floyd squirm......... Wait....did you hear that? That was the sound of every member of the Coalition's colon hitting the floor...... To turn me red, you're going to have to red K about 1000 more times. I can do that. And for you to turn me red, you're going to have to red K me about 1,000,000,000 more times. I laughed so hard that i woke the kids and my wife is mad a s hell. keep it up guys!!!

Only Ray Leonard could have done better. ray leonard came back from retirement to challenge bigger and stronger champions. he didn't retire without fighting hearns only to come back to fight arguello at 154.

respect is better than money, you think money first of course but then you go for the respect. mayweather has just gone for the money and nothing else.

Mayweather-Baldomir II even with the plaster. Why it didn't happen? What floyd got: Mayweather-Baldomir - Linear Title, Unified Belts, $12 million including PPV cut. What floyd would have got from the margarito fight: WBO Belt and shares in a tortilla corn company. Respect something money can not buy. That is why Mayweather will never get any because he does fight for respect.

this thread is so ridiculous, i almost want to start another godzilla thread. lol

Mayweather knew all this was going to happen , so he obviously retired to turn down a mega fight rematch with DLH, because "DLH was robbed" and Mayweather was scared. On a serious level, this shit never gets old man. The man was the linear WW champion, regardless of what you think, there hasn't been one since he retired. I'm a Cotto fan, but can you tell me what he has done since Floyd retired on December 2007? How can there be a linear champion, if he retired without defending it against actual welters? People like you say things like that as if he took on the very best of welterweight competition.

To turn me red, you're going to have to red K about 1000 more times. I can do that. And for you to turn me red, you're going to have to red K me about 1,000,000,000 more times.

wtf, you cant get consecutive mega fights if you are the best in the world? get real! the guy is not fighting for little money anymore so fighters have to come with it in some kind of way! Aside from Oscar De La Hoya at 154, and Ricky Hatton at 140. Who else was there at that time (early 2008, post Hatton), that could offer Floyd a "mega fight" for that type of money? Nobody. That's why his ass was willing to rematch Oscar again! Thankfully, he retired. Otherwise it would've happened.

That's the problem right there ; your dismissive attitude about Cotto, Margarito, and Williams. Cotto was at the top of 147, riding high. Margarito was making some noise of his own and still had his own audience in SoCal and Mexico. And Williams was making noise as well, especially after the Tony victory. And "yet to break through?" for real? After the Wright fight, what more does he have to do? The final part of the problem, if your final statment. "None of them gave him the mega bout he wanted and felt he deserved". This is boxing. There are very few Ricky Hatton's, and Oscar De La Hoya's out there, in terms of drawing power. You can't get mega fight after mega fight, after mega fight, all just served up to you. You have to let those things heat up to a boiling point, and then you strike while the iron is hot. In the meantime, was it too damn much to ask that he at least one of the multiple opponets who were calling him out in his division? I'm not the only one son! Thats common perception around the world except in their respective regions! After beating ssm and judah? cotto would have been better off fighting margie's conqueror pw than margie! terrible move by his "team" but his over rated ass would have lost to either one imo! margie LOST his belt! remember! wtf, you cant get consecutive mega fights if you are the best in the world? get real! the guy is not fighting for little money anymore so fighters have to come with it in some kind of way! No answer for PW! But margie and cotto neither could lay claim to the best in the division let alone in the world so what was the incentive for fighting the small time fighters!?

I didn't see anybody squirm..I saw a broke mexican begging for a shot he didn't do shit to earn. You can't go from Keyvelos and Gomez to Mayweather and expect to win or even be taken seriously. All Tony had to do was dump his WBO title..that would have made him Floyd's MANDITORY. Floyd would've just found another excuse not to fight him. He probably would've shit himself and vacated it. :lol1: No, honestly speaking though, why would Margarito give up the belt that he had earned and defended for 5 years prior to that to become Floyd's mandatory? Who even knows if Floyd would've fought him if he were his mandatory?

How come when Margarito beat Cotto you hardly heard a word about Floyd fighting Cotto and it was all- oh Floyd should fight Margarito. Now Cotto beats Michael Jennings and all of a sudden he's the man Floyds ducking? People are quite fickle, need to make their minds up who Floyd should fight. In an ideal world he'd fight Cotto, Margarito, Mosely, Pacman and Williams but we all know he won't.

Yeah, it's.. ermm... not too good... He might fight Cotto for all we know, but it won't have that same appeal. The battle of the unbeaten 147 kings. Although, with the Margo controversy does help it somewhat, it's still now quiet the same..

Coincidently after Floyd Maynever retired without facing the real WW he comes back and doesn't want any part of the division. Floyd has always use the weight divisions to avoid the top fighters in his weight class. Moving up in weight untill he couldn't move up anymore. If Juan Manuel Marquez can't become a champion at W.W what kind of a fighter is Floyd fighting?

What do you make of Mayweather "retiring" when Cotto was at the top of the division, Margarito was the toughest bastard around, and there was a 7'0" tall freak who threw 1,000 punches a round all wanting a shot at him? But then he came back when Cotto had already got the shit beat out of him, Margarito's reputation was in shambles, and Williams was fighting at 160? (I was talking with Clegg earlier today and he brought up the above, and I figured it was too good not to make a thread for.) all i gotta say is that cotto was supposed to beat margo and then get the megafight vs delahoya. cotto failed and we are where we are. nobody was gonna fight pwill.

Why judge him now? Floyd Sr. said JMM is just a tune up for Shane and correct me if I'm wrong, Didn't Shane say Mayweather said "Not yet". As for the question, Mayweather was already contemplating his retirement during the DLH fight. Hatton just had the mouth/ money to bring him out Anyway, we should all be patient. He might possibly face Cotto
