This is too bad for BOXING
He is undefeateid, bsut is he respected? The answer is quite simply, NO. The decisions of Floyd Mayweather Jr over time have cost him. They have cost both his legacy, and more recently they have cost him financially. Why anyone would throw 40 million dollars in the trash can over some blood is still beyond this writers imagination.
Mayweather has made a history out of picking smaller opponents. He has not made any fans with his eagerness to flash his money around either. Is the man skilled in the ring? Yes he is. The problem is, he's never taken on anyone with enough size and talent that has earned him any respect in victory. Sure, recently Floyd came out of retirement and beat up a blown up dehydrated Juan Manuel Marquez. This defeat did nothing for his legacy. It only shored up what most people have been saying, he cherry picks smaller guys.

I recently spoke with the president of USA Boxing's Southern Association, Stan Nichols. Nichols formerly held the title of Chief of Officials for the state of Mississippi. He has been in the sport of boxing for a long time. Although he's not heard of on a national level, his experience on the sport of boxing has to be respected. Nichols sparred with the great Roberto Duran many years ago down in Panama back in the 1980's. Nichols shared his thoughts on Mayweather and the decisions that he's made over the years, " Floyd has great skills, yet he has never stepped up to the big challenge. He had an opportunity to deposit perhaps over 40 million dollars in a Pacquiao fight, but chose not to. Now he has a chance to prove himself against Shane Mosley. If he ops out of this fight, it would damage an already questionable legacy." Read up on USA boxing here - http://www.usaboxing.org/
Many of Floyd's detractors have relentlessly pounded on him throughout the Pacquiao negotiations. Once the lawsuit for slander was filed against Mayweather, it was all out war between the two camps, thus killing any hopes for that fight to happen.
Floyd's next opportunity came by way of a terrible tragedy in Haiti. Shane Mosley was scheduled to fight Andre Berto but due to the earthquake in Haiti, Berto had to pull out of the fight to tend to his family. This opened up the opportunity for Floyd to step up and take on Mosley. Negotiations are ongoing, but reports are that Mayweather is balking at the talks, and is not happy with the numbers. This is a potentially lethal injection to his already shaken legacy. If Mayweather bails out of this fight against Mosley, he very well may go down as the fighter who ducked the best, and fought the rest.
:moon::moon::moon:
hold on ... so mosley and mayweather aren't fighting?
:You_Rock_ floyd! lol
lolz at this point is still a rumor ... but IMHO I think it will be made :boxing:
Everyone needs $40 million dollars. Everyone! Let's not be a Pactard or a Flomo. Let's just be honest.
everyone might want 40 million dollars but really NOT everyone needs 40 million dollars, see the number in our eyes ....
40,000,000.00 Dollars = 1,800,000,000.00 Pesos
those are just too much f_ck_ng zeroes after 1,8 that freezes your brain and stop counting LOLZ
You are actually the idiot.
Pac doesn't need $40m. Floyd does. So why the absurd demands?

Thats all I needed to hear to know the rest of this was BS. You Pactards can be in denial all you want. The fact is, most people around the world with any common sense can see Pac is hiding something. FOR GOD'S SAKES, HE TURNED DOWN TWO WEEKS AS THE CUT OFF DATE. he can't recover from a small tube of blood in two weeks??? You guys are idiots!!!!
You have a poor logic !!!!!
he will not able to do the rigid training he's doing before the fight
Not because he will not recover.

If Pac is unto something, he could just stop fighting and retire now as he don't need any more money.
What about floyd, he needs legacy and money. So why did he do it? Because he knows he doesn't really want to fight at all.
You Flomos is the one on denial. So gullible. I've been saying eversince floyd will do everything he can just to avoid a pac fight, and now he will avoid also a shane bout.
So what does that say to you all flomos. You're not only idiots but so gullible you swallow all floyd's cum.
Why anyone would throw 40 million dollars in the trash can over some blood is still beyond this writers imagination.

The bold part applies to both of them.
One could have said " gimme the test, I still beat your ass"
The other could have said "okay I'll stop with the blood test shit and beat you anyway"
Both of these guys and their handlers let boxing fans down. I repeat BOTH OF THEM.
