Can you really blame Floyd for being a ducker?

I know Pacquiao isn't held to the same high, lofty standards that Mayweather is, but he has been every bit the cherry-picker that Floyd has been over the last five years or so. The fight with a totally shopworn Tony was a complete farce, and the fight with Mosley was a complete and utter disgrace (:lol1: @ the pact*rds that mock Mayweather for fighting an old, decrepit Mosley.) Even the third Marquez fight - very few wanted to see it. I did, because I knew the whole notion that Pacquiao was this all new and improved fighter was complete bollocks and that Marquez would still trouble him. But I was in a very tiny minority on the message boards who didn't consider it a mismatch. Hatton? Very very true.

come on guys, all of you know the fighters you love declined to fight floyd when he was high risk, low reward. we know manny refused to fight in 2009. can you guys at least come up with something factual or honest.

He ducked Pacquiao, no doubt about that. So yes, he ducked at least one.

if floyd sucked, i wouldn't blame him...he's made a lot of money but the problem is he doesn't suck...he has true atg skills that he never bothered testing against the best in his era if i had that much ego and skill, i'd want every one to have no doubt on who the greatest of this era was this.............

The same old wack threads on this forum....why do you people recycle so much on here...you all must have OCD. over and over and over and over and over and over and over with the same threads and posts stuck on repeat.....come with new material.....

Stop making sh*t up bc Diaz, Dlh, marg, clottey, Mosley and hatton weren't the best opposition when manny decided to fight them. Dlh, marg, clottey hatton and Mosley were all wtf moments. Even morales the second and 3rd fight weren't the best Hatton?

yes you can he became a big star and was WW champ when 147 was hot had he ran through Tony, Cotto, and Williams, what could anyone say? "retiring" at that time then coming back to fight the LW champ was BS then the whole moving the goalposts with Pac made it worse Floyd's still an ATG, but seriously, fuck him

Ggg? Give me a break. Y'all want Floyd to take a no win fight with someone as big and powerful as ggg to get respect? Ha. F*ck your ridiculous opinion ???You sound like you have floyds lovestick soo fare up your butthole that you cant tell were floyd begins and ends Floyd have fought at 154 before, and GGG is not a HUGE 160, make the fight at 157, problem solved. For someone that claims to be the best fighter ever!!!!!!!, its not a unresaonble thing to ask, Unless you are a stupid punk ofcause

With or without the plaster because he has no ko's without the plaster over anyone considered good. Margarito has 8+ losses with Plaster, without the Plaster he might have 20+, dude is a over glorfied bum but gets a pass just because he's a supposed "Mexican Warrior"

like if Floyd was Berto and got away with these antics...i wouldn't blame him for sh1t...but its Floyd if Floyd wanted to go on a legacy rampage, there woulda been no retirement on his resume woulda been Tszyu, Casamayor, prime Cotto, Margarito, prime Mosely, and Pacquiao NOone would have been able to say sh1t but no...we got Bruseles, Baldomir, Ortiz, Guerrero and Sharmba Mitchells on that b1tch Yep in other words exactly the opposit of Ali, and the reason why Floyd at this moment cant and should not call himself the GOAT Floyd need to fight somone really really dangerous, like formann was for ali, he should take on GGG that would make even the most synical floyd hater take there hat off

Floyd makes insane amounts of money. You think he's going to risk losing his 0 on the most dangerous fights? Like I mentioned earlier, if he loses, the total money he makes per fight will go down. His whole gimmick is based on the fact that he's undefeated unlike the fighters you mentioned, & many people want to see him lose so they order his PPVs. That's right. Once he loses, his money-making fights are over. People who want to see him lose drive the PPV numbers. How many of those would want to see a comeback fight? They already saw him losing his zero. That will be enough. And how many of them would want to see another boring comeback win?

Well, the difference is Floyd makes way more than those guys did with the exception of De La Hoya. http://i.imgur.com/AYZ3vrN.jpg You're serious with this reply?

Ali was in Floyds position. Is known for taking on the best possible opposition time and time again. Ray Leonard was in Floyds position. Is known for taking on the best possible opposition time and time again. De La Hoya was in Floyds position. Is known for taking on the best possible opposition. Manny is in Floyds position. He is known for taking on the best possible opposition. Nah. Most fighters don't do that. Well, the difference is Floyd makes way more than those guys did with the exception of De La Hoya.

Margarito 2007, 2008, knocks Floyd out.With or without the plaster because he has no ko's without the plaster over anyone considered good.

Exactly what I bring up all the time and this prime bs is just that bs! Any dumbass who puts margo in the equation is just a really stupid person smh! Margarito 2007, 2008, knocks Floyd out.

Ok I'm just curious if Floyd is such a ducker, why didn't cotto Mosley, katayzu, I can keep going not want to fight him when he wasn't a big money draw? Were they ducking too? Also if he is such a duck other than jrmw's, and mws, aka size advantage not skill advantage, who would you favor to beat Floyd ww and jrww? I mean lets be real if Nelo was a ww no on would think he had a chance. Uh, he actually was a welterweight.

It hurts his legacy completely, & makes him look scared, but most fighters would do the same if they were in his position. It's definitely lame & I disagree completely with it, but I can't exactly blame him for going for easy fights. He makes insane amounts of money regardless of who he fights. If he decided to fight someone like Andre Berto next if he beats Canelo he would still make 25-30 million total for the fight. His whole gimmick is based on being undefeated, so he knows a lot of people order his PPVs to see if he loses. If he loses once, I guarantee that the money he rakes in per fight will drop & his PPV numbers would drop. He picks fights where he knows he's the huge favorite because it's easy money for him. He demanded the Canelo fight be at a catchweight so he knows it would be easier for him to win. But can you blame him when he's making all that money based on being the #1 P4P fighter, & raking in all that cash regardless of who he fights? Ali was in Floyds position. Is known for taking on the best possible opposition time and time again. Ray Leonard was in Floyds position. Is known for taking on the best possible opposition time and time again. De La Hoya was in Floyds position. Is known for taking on the best possible opposition. Manny is in Floyds position. He is known for taking on the best possible opposition. Nah. Most fighters don't do that.

yes leonard hand picked the lineal champ in a bigger division who was also a slick southpaw even though he had never fought a good southpaw his entire career. you know boxing sir! it's strange how everyone knows kalule was hand-picked yet you don't know floyd hand picked bums like baldomir, ortiz, and guerrero.This did catch my eye, lmao. You see, it's just not your fault that you weren't around then. You're trying to say anything...maybe because I disrespected you. You can't google or Wikipedia boxing history with those who were in the moment. that's why I pick my arguments when it comes to talking about fights before me. How do you equate what Floyd did to what Leonard did when Floyd gradually went up 3 weight classes to Leonard going up to sww for 1 fight and going back down to ww? I'm not sure, but Leonard did not even face Hearns yet. The sww division had a lineal champ, true..now I have to give you that. Peep Kalule's resume, and you tell me if what you're saying is sound. It's right, but is it sound, lmao? And why would you even mention Baldomir, Ortiz or Guerrero in this comparison. Oh, the hand picking part is identical I guess, lmao. This is why I rarely address anything that you have to say about the sport, lmao. This ish was hilarious, truly!
