I decided to get some feedback from the hardcore FM fans instead of chiming in on one of the other threads. How do you guys feel about your boy honestly? Below is how I see it, now I know Floyd has been a very good fighter over the time he has been in the sport. IMO a couple of the decisions he got I didn't agree with, namely Floyd vs Jose Luis Castillo I , Judah & De La Hoya.
A note to all Mayweather Fans: FIND ANOTHER HERO because this guy is a embarrassment to all of his fans and the boxing world in general! If I were a FM fan I would never use his name again in public. He knew what a huge fight this was for all boxing fans, and to use the excuse, "I'm not thinking of boxing right now" is a wimp response. How about "I'm sorry to my fans, but I'm just not ready for a fight with the P4P king right now". At least his fans could respect that. Hey I would be afraid to fight Pacquiao too if I was Mayweather, but I would not slander the guy with "he must be on something to be that good" or "I am the best on the planet" or "the best ever" and then not back it up. Just find a new hero, like anybody, besides that wimp.

As a Mayweather fan, I didn't expect to hear him say that. But part of the blame has to go to Pacquiao for declining Mayweather's 50/50 split and 14 day cutoff for the date of March 13th. If he decides to wait untill 2011, then his skills would be diminished by then and I know he's gonna regret it. Mayweather has aleady showed signs of slippage, so if he was ever gonna get in there against Paul Williams, Martinez or Pacquiao, he should have done this as soon as possible.
Agreed. I am a huge mayweather fan and think he would beat pacquiao easily. But he was a bit slower of foot against mosley and not as sharp as he was against marquez even. This may all be a ploy to generate even more money in the future i suppose, which is still ridiculous, but he may be making a mistake, financially and legacy-wise. He is really pissing me off, especially as i have been telling anyone who would listen that this would be a done deal and little manny was about to get schooled. However, all that being said Pac vs Margarito is just silly. A few years ago it may have been a dangerous fight, but margs looked like crap in his last fight even taking into account the layoff. Mayweather has made my ignore list at the moment and i never thought that would happen. Pacquaio is also on it, so lets move on to some fighters that want to compete
