I'm still a fan but this guy's decision making is suspect. He beats Hatton then retires...Cotto, Margarito were hot at the time. He comes back and fight JMM as a tune up fight on pay per view. Fights Shane, which was a credible win. I'm sure he fought Shane because he heard the media clowning & bashing him, plus they were not going to accept any other opponent. Then all of sudden he's not interested in a Pac fight anymore? I'm highly disappointed. For the time Floyd spent stalling & retiring, he could have fought Pac, Marg, & Cotto. Instead, he's chosen to not fight and let some of his skills diminish or stay the same instead of getting better.
Nope not even close..........
Pacquiao still doesnt have a fight signed. Floyd could be in talks with a fighter next month for all we know.
then that would be a straight duck , if he wants to take the rest of the year off to spend time with his family when a pac fight is on the table and then is in talks for another fight what does that tell you?
Of course. Everyone wants this fight to happen but still PBF is making things hard for this fight to be made.
I won't be a fan of him anymore because if I'm a cancer victim and his fan, and asked him to fight pacquiao as part of my wish, and he doesn't fulfill it, and waits, waits and waits till i give out my last brerath not even seeing that fight happen, as of countless of boxing fans hardcore or casual alike, then do you think i will still remain his fan?
I'm still a fan cause I don't get all involved on who, when and if he fights like some do. No boxer is paying my bills, when one does I'll start caring. In the mean time, there's plenty of boxing to watch.
Nah not rlly. My whole thing is at least he gave us his excuse. With pac it was all these charades coming from everyone but him. 1. First the needle theory, 2. then the blood too close to the fight, then the blood being taken at all.
Mayweather came out and said i dont wanna fight this close to my last fight so i can semi respect it. Am i mad that hes doggin this fight? Yes.
Now pac refused drug testing, that was the demise of the fist time. Mayweather wants time off, this is the demise of the second time. The third time we will see who the coward is.
The needle story was came from Arum's mouth trying to defend Pac who did not agree on Floyd's blood draining tactic because of the reason number 2 which came from Pac's mouth itself. Now it is very clear to all boxing fans Floyd invented useless 2 months OST in which he should be done all year round to be really effective catching a cheater. That was a ducking move knowing Pac will not agree into it. Now its already proven it was really a ducking move by any means when Pac now agreed to all of it then all of the sudden he quickly retired. :loser:
This is what ive been saying, Manny was to blame first time, Floyd second time.
its not manny's fault that the testing that is required of him by the commision does not make floyd's standards.
he had every right to refuse it, but he didn't. he was willing to be tested far stricter than what anyone has been before, without a shred of evidence of him being on the juice.
do i think manny should have taken the test? yes. he should have taken it, but he is not at fault for it happening the first time.
the ost is a stipulation that is out of the ordinary, like a weight penalty or catchweight.
the one who refused the unusual stipulation is not at fault, rather the one who is asking for it is the one to blame.
now, all of that is pointless cause it appears that the points have been taken out.
FLOYD SIMPLY DOESN'T WANT TO FIGHT.
he made this fight as hard as possible to make, and now he simply said he is not interested in it at all.
that tells me doesn't want to fight. not necessarily scared of pac, but maybe he just doesn't give a shit.
which makes it hard for me to respect him
My only problem with Floyd as a professional boxer has always been exclusive to the fact that he hasn't fought but once a year for a while,and I believe he has pissed away some of his prime in the process.
Of course,he can afford to only fight on occasion,but it would be nice to see him show off his talent a bit more frequently.
I suppose if I were in his shoes with a family,I would prefer to spend time with them instead of being in the ring anymore times than needed...
Not as loyal as certain fan groups, but I'm loyal nonetheless.
Yeah I'm the same, it's been nearly 10 years since Mayweather fought Diego Corrales and I thought my man Chico was gonna KO Mayweather!! fast forward a decade and the man still aint lost althought I thought he lost the first Castillo fight he's still undefeated.
Shane is 38, hadn't fought in 14 months and beat a guy who was mentally out of it due to plastergate.
What the shit?
First of all, I'm a Margarito fan. Legion of Doom co-creater. And I say this. How the hell was Margarito mentally out of it? Because his wraps were changed? Get out of here. Margarito was totally in it for the win and simply loss. Things like that are excuses. As for Mosley's age. So when Floyd fights him it's wrong. When Pacquiao was considering it, it's okay. When Margarito was lined up with him, it's dandy. When Berto wanted to fight him, it's great. Sergio Mora is getting ready to fight him, let's make headlines. That makes no sense.
Mosley isn't prime but he isn't shot either. He is in the same place as Hopkins. All that other stuff is excuses.
Otherwise, Floyd is old too. He shouldn't fight anymore. Compare him now to Pre-Baldomir. Not the same guy. He's 33, Pacquiao has no business fighting him in the first place. Floyd should just retire. Should we say that? He's obviously past it and he is gun-shy. He doesn't throw anything over 2 punch combos. If Marquez could hit him, then he must have lost a step.
Is it okay to say that then? :thinking:
You can find all my posts regarding that fight...I called it as a BS fight from the get-go, look my post history
Shane is 38, hadn't fought in 14 months and beat a guy who was mentally out of it due to plastergate. Mosley was/is done at the elite level and has been since the Mayorga fight. I never liked the fight from the beginning
I always said that Berto would have murdered Mosley..Luckily Mosley got sparked by Floyd instead of Berto because his career would have really been done. But anyways, I never liked the fight.
ahh good for you, youre really a boxing fan and floyd fan and not a nuthugger like the others.

He just fought Shane Mosley.

A guy that Roach told to his face was too big and too good to fight Pac.
Thats not someone live?? And you call yourself a Floyd fan? Who are you kidding bro.

I am...May hasn't really fought someone live in years...its always one thing after another and when the real big challenges come up...he makes excuses to avoid them...I love watching Mayweather fight, but this is getting tiring
Cotto - 2008 and Pac - 2010
Somethings gotta give, history will not be kind to Floyd Mayweather and it makes me sad

i'm confused.
it's like you're actually admitting that he ducked pac.
I have defended May, and praised his otherwordly abilities.
Not anymore.
If it makes money, it makes sense.
He's not paying me, so all I've got is common sense.
Common sense tells me he is a coward.
I knew he ducked Cotto and Margo. The Margo duck seemed bright nowadays, after the plaster incident. The Cotto duck I could forgive.
But Midget Manny?
I mean, one juices, the other Xylocaines. They are even.
