Just like Floyd wondered how Manny could walk away from $40 mill, now I wonder. If Top Rank made a legit attempt to meet halfway in the negotiations to make the BIGGEST fight in the HISTORY of boxing happen then I would expect Mayweather Promotions(Golden Boy..lol) to do the same. In conclusion, If "Pound for Pound" gets scrapped due to any "diva"-like request or demands,then NO! Floyd Mayweather Jr. will Not be considered the top boxer in the world to me.
I'll never question his skills, but he NEEDS to fight and beat Pac, period. Right now he's at the top of my list, but he'll have no choice but to go down in my eyes for not taking that fight, unless he fights Martinez at 154-160 which would redeem him in my eyes. That said, Pac fighting either Cotto or Margarito isn't on my happy list either so he won't gain much in my eyes either. He'll just take the top spot by default.
what type of question is that? floyd fans are fans for reasons beyond logic. they are sucked into his bullshit. so with all the bs he's already tried with previous fights. why would they care about him fighting an opponent that could test his skill? he's about the money.....oh yeah he's not going to sign the richest fight in the boxing history.......so it's about the legacy? oh yeah definitely not about that....maybe the fans? nope he doesn't care about you dipshits either? so i don't really think there should be logic put in front of you fans.... have a great day. your idol is #1 ducker once he announces he is retiring on friday ;)
manny hasnt signed either..people keep over looking that
True. the title of the thread is a little misleading but i explained what I really meant after that. I just wanted to get to the point in the title
No doubt in my mind that this fight will happen...but i believe it will be both boxers' last fight and i dont think either of them are ready to hang 'em up yet...so to answer your question: yes...floyd>>>manny>>everyone else

You havent seen the contract,wait until we hear what's in the contract.The reason why Floyd will have refused is the thing we need.Make no mistake,Floyd's not scared of Pacquiao,that guy is a knockout waiting to happen.Floyd will beat the Congressman.With Mosley it was better because Mosley went and hid under the bed,Pacquiao will be so embarassed but what will he do?
I would love Floyd even more. He didn't falter to Arum and Pac demands and he stood his ground like a true champion. My respect and love for Floyd would be greater than any fight he wins.
Signed,
Loving Flomo
