Mayweather's stock just went through the roof!

Anybody that thinks history is going to show that because Floyd didn't fight Manny, that it is a blow to his legacy, is a wishful thinker. In reality, it will be remembered that the most lucrative fight in history was never made, despite the fact that Mayweather was clearly the superior fighter. The reasons will be debated: refusal of testing, purse disagreements, Bob Arum. Pacquiao is tarnished not just by last night, but by the two fights before it as well. People will look at his catchweights and the condition of the fighters on his resume at the time that he fought them. I doubt they'll be as kind as some of you think. Manny still kicked a lot of ass no doubt though.

but but...you're a Floyd fan...as the uninformed would say :lol1: I've been getting the "You're a Floyd fan stuff lately". I don't know where this is coming from :lol1:

Floyd ain't nothing but a marketing ploy. Never fights the best, avoids undefeated fighters (only has fought 2 his whole career) and barely fights. If Manny would fight once every year handpicking his opponents he would be undefeated too. Floyd is a joke to boxing. He got skills but avoids anybody in their prime or undefeated young fighters.

Knocked OUT by a 39 year old fighter lol What an embarrassment :bottle: The man destroys fighters that's tailor made for him

Manny is the cnt , he drains fighters on purpose for advantages Roach has said so , Floyd is just an arrogant prick but he fights fighters when healthy and beats them , Pac fights smaller guys healthy and gets his ass handed to him . Triangle logic. Manny posed a threat with being able to quickly dart out that left. Ray loses to Duran, Ray KO's Hearns, Hearns flattens Duran. You HAVE to attest for styles and attributes in boxing. It's all about the match-ups. It's the opposite if anything, Floyd's fear of PAC has cost him a chance of being remembered as one of greats and beating him now won't mean much. Two posters who know what they are talking about and one fanboy who thinks Mayweather just KO'D the pacman.

Floyd's desire to not make Arum richer was much greater than his desire to make a ton of money fighting, Pac. That's why the fight never happened and truthfully, I was over the fight a long time ago. Floyd is fighting twice next year which guarantees a great 2013 for boxing. Canelo, Guerrro and even Bradley are interesting match-ups that I'll watch. When and IF Floyd loses it wont be by a brutal KO from any of those guys.

I don't need a triangle theory to know Manny was never on Floyd's skill level and neither was Marquez. I watched Floyd live dismantle Dinamita using only speed and skill. Marquez said himself he nor Pac could beat Floyd and IF Marquez calls out Floyd again (doubtful) it'll be another near shut out for Floyd. Only guys who are much bigger than Floyd have a chance to beat him ala De La Hoya and maybe Martinez if they fight. Pac fans have this thought burning at the back of their minds constantly. It pops up every now and again when Floyd is not in the spotlight. Most only wished Manny would take and passed the tests and make Floyd and his family and fans eat their own words after a spectacular KO win. That's too bad.

Manny is the cnt , he drains fighters on purpose for advantages Roach has said so , Floyd is just an arrogant prick but he fights fighters when healthy and beats them , Pac fights smaller guys healthy and gets his ass handed to him . Funny you should say that because Mayweather only beat Marquez because he made him jump 2 divisions and weight cheated him on the scales. He was soft and flabby in that fight. Sorry but Marquez isn't giving his victory to Floyd. Your hero is still a cherry picker sitting on the sidelines preserving his health.

I have Marquez ahead of Mayweather, especially since he's the one who knocked Pac out and Floyd avoided the fight. but but...you're a Floyd fan...as the uninformed would say :lol1:

This is what Pac will be remembered for

boxing is wwe to Floyd fans. what they saw last night was a two on one fight. I'm just wondering what rounds they saw Marquez tag Floyd in. the 2nd? maybe the 4th? which guy delivered the crushing blow to end it all? do they each get half a w and half a Ko now?

he should still fight Pacman. Put it however you want. He ducked him. And although he will probably be considered as the greatest of this generation his name will not be equal among other greatest champions. He didn't fight the biggest fight he should! No money will buy him that legacy! It's amazing how these Flowmos share Mayweathers mentality. Marquez beating Pac does not give Floyd a victory over him just like Margartito Mosley didn't give Floyd a victory over Margarito except in the eyes of the stan. Mayweather is still a cherry picker who avoided his threats when they were threats and nothing will ever change that. He will never have a rivalry because he will never fight the best guys when they're the best.

Finally the truth is replenished. Since the media and the STANS elected Pacquiao as the #1P4P i was skeptical it was a ploy to force Mayweather in their agendas. Mayweather did the smartest thing and fought the better fighter - Marquez and shut him out 12 rounds, dropping him in the process. Now Pacquiao just got KTFO at the same weight by a near 40 year old Marquez. SUCK on it agenda boys and boxing media! What's UP now? How are you gonna imply someone else is the man but Floyd? Floyd talks dumb to bait you but he acts TREMENDOUSLY smart. Try demanding 50% now Pacquiao. I kinda feel sorry for the Pacman but I feel so happy for all the agenda people (not in the phillipines or Manny true fans, but the suckers with agendas trying to downplay Mayweather's career CONSTANTLY, either in the media or the internet). A big bowl of CROW to you. EAT IT. Floyd is still an idiot who threw away a 100 million dollar pay day by sitting on the sidelines as usual. Pac was not the only reason mayweather is called a cherry picker and he didn't get the KO. Mayweather looks like even more of a coward because Pac didn't refuse to fight Marquez after he hulked up like Floyd would have.

Pacman will be remembered as a warrior, unlike chicken Mayweather.

It might not be a win for May But its damn sure another loss for Pac haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahaha http://thebiglead.fantasysportsven.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/pacquiao-ko-marquez.gif

this thread is absolutely ridiculous. Floyd ducked Pacquiao like the plague and waited for someone to do the dirty work for him, he will be known as the guy who dodged his biggest rival

This is a childish and idiotic thread. Floyd must be the only fighter out there that can get victory in the eyes of his fans in fight he's never been involved in. I always backed him to beat Pacquaio, but this triangular logic nonsense is pathetic. This is about as accurate a statement as you will see in this thread.

Floyd's stock is doo-doo, he should retire.

Without a doubt. Now even Pacquiao fans know for a fact that if Marquez decides to mix it up with Floyd, even as Marquez has grown into the weight division, he may as well just hand Floyd the title before they even step in the ring because Floyd is leagues above Marquez at this moment in time. Even Freddie and Arum know Pac never had a chance against Floyd even WITHOUT random drug testing.
