Are there certain circumstances and conditions when calling out Floyd? Does the moon and the sun have to be in certain coordinates when calling him out? Venus have to align with Saturn? Does it depend on the time of night? Someone's bloodsugar count?
Just wondering because Floyd makes it seem as if all you have to do is say his name and he'll accept the fight, yet there is a long list of people that have called out Floyd and when asked why they didnt get chosen, there appears to be an incredibly long list of reasons why the fights didn't happen.
Do you have to moderate the loudness of your voice when calling him out? Have to be loud? Or soft? Use certain words? Call him out in Elvish?
i didnt get to read all the replies but this really isnt that hard to understand. Floyd wants to get the most exposure possible for any potential fight. But fighters calling him out on back alley web sights wont do that. When people say figther a , b, and c called him out they are correct but the truth is the only reason we know that is because we are die hard boxing fans. We search for these things. But the majority of the people who actually shell out money are not. Those people dont know any of this. But if you say something on a national televised broadcast then everyone will hear it. meaning all those people who dont know much about the inner workings of boxing will want to see the fight.
Honestly speaking i think other boxers understand that to. Thats why you dont hear any of these guys call his name out when the world will hear it because then they would actually have to fight because the general public ( non-die hards) would want it. I think most of these guys just use his name for their own benefit. i mean think about it ,no one has tried to do that besides hatton and jmm. But if these other guys really wanted to fight wouldnt they just do the same? How hard is it? But when the cameras are rolling and the world is watching they dont have anything to say?
What a shit thread
He's signed to fight someone and you expect him to accept Shame Roidsleys challenge
This thread was worthy of Vinny Pazienza
Hes Wants TO FIGHT PACQUIAO, Shane is not important
dammit. where's manchine when you need him? he's the boxing historian.......

hearns (147 , 154 , 160 , 168 , 175)
arguello (122 , 126 , 130 , 135 , 140)

that's all i can think off. i'm sure there's more. too lazy to look it up. a lot of the old timers have done it but they don't get credit because they didn't have all the weight classes back then.
one of the smarter boxing historian guys will come up with a few more.
You forgot delahoya.
Cotto and Margarito are not a threat to Mayweather at all.
Neither is Shane's old ass.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU??????????????????
Not everyone is a fulltime Floyd cult member man.
It's called being objective.
you have to win a fight..then in the post fight interview call him out..simple..hatton and jmm are the only 2 that have done this
yea and you have to also have some credability and beat a credible opponent like hatton and marquez did
we can post pictures of mannys mom..aka the crypt keeper if you like
keep moms out of it unless it's riddick bowes mom....ha ha ha
Much respect to everybody's mom
Thats the MannyMayWelter division for your information
Fighter at that weight specialise in draining bigger fighters or bringing up smaller fighters
why in the hell is kobe so light on that cover?

It has to be a full moon, you have to be wearing a top hat, Larry merchant has to be standing to your right side, the event you're fighting at has to have just been viewed by 20,000,000 people or done a ridiculous amount of PPV sales, Floyd has to be standing on his Segway in front of his television naked and lubed up with Ellerbe nearby with important people on speed dial, the fighter doing the calling out must spin in a circle and say Floyd Mayweather three times while patting his head and rubbing his stomach without screwing up the rhythm.
so jmm is a bigger draw than floyd???good god the floyd hate on here is pathetic
In Floyds own words.
JMM has an entire country behind him.
You don't call that a bigger draw?
What does Floyd have? A few rat ass nuthuggers like you and Horus who dont even order PPV
:rofl:
at this point, Im convinced Floyd fans will defend anything he does
If Floyd were to light orphans on fire, Floyd fans would try to convince us they were in an ice house covered in snow and he was just trying to warm them up.
both would probally sell the same..neither is a huge draw...but you gotta understand floyds and mosley's history
i say marquez fight would sell more at this particular time based off what he as done as of lately by knocking out 2 guys who never been knocked out. But the bigger fight would be mosley in a legacy sense, because it's sugar shane, a former p4p #1 fighter. But fighting the current #2 p4p fighter right now for your 1st fight back ain't bad for the legacy either!
so jmm is a bigger draw than floyd???good god the floyd hate on here is pathetic
Larry, which is a bigger AND more lucrative fight, Mosley vs. Mayweather or Marquez vs. Mayweather?
