Dan Rafael with that ETHER.

As for why he mentioned it damaging Floyd's legacy (while it clearly damages Manny's as well), I think that's because Floyd is undefeated and constantly talks about being the best ever whereas Manny is far from unbeaten and has several blemishes on his resume'.

Dan is a Floyd hater so this is pretty typical of him. But I don't understand why Manny and his team carry no weight for this fight not happening with so many proven reasons. Dan's statement goes both ways also. I'd argue that Dan is not a Floyd hater, he goes back and forth on it. One on hand, he clearly seems to blame Floyd MORE for the fight not happening (though often saying that both are at fault, which of course is truth). On the other hand, he has often dropped thinly-veiled hints that he thinks Floyd would have won the fight without too much difficulty. Then, there was his nauseous praise of Floyd during the build-up to the Canelo fight. So he likes to be on both sides on the fence.

Not falling for the alts bait. Pacquiao fights like 100x more than Floyd, and has a style that ages him way more than Floyd. Sit down, and learn something. What happened when he accepted the CUT OFF DATES? Done talking to alts. I've had this name since 2010, it's the only one I use. The first time when Pacquiao was "prime", that fell apart because Pacquiao. The other times, maybe not.

"Prime" Pacquiao? He's still younger than Mayweather and the "prime" Pacquiao didn't want to get drug tested in 2009. Mayweather's tweet spoke for itself and it got Dan butthurt.

I am not a big Dan Rafael fan. Some aspects about him I like, others I despise. But one thing you can't say about him is that he's a Floyd hater. He is a RIGO hater. Exactly. When the hell has Dan flat out hated on Floyd? I've been following the guys Twitter for years, and he never hates on Floyd. Typical Floyd groupies with their, "he hate Floyd doe!"

Fixed that for you. You must not know much about their careers if you think it's so clear-cut in Pac's favor. You must not know much about boxing if you think it's not obvious that Pacquaio has a greater resume.

its not really an insult to floyd. he probably takes it as a compliment while he carries his man purse while clubbing with chris bosh.

Don't you guys get sick of this argument, same sh*t same threads over and over we should just boycott Pac's and Money PPV this year. Forget Manny vs Bradley or Money vs Khan when these fights take place keep your money and tweet that their both *****es, maybe they will get the point.

Truer words have never been spoken. Sure Dan, and I'm sure it's all about Floyd's legacy while Manny's is safe is that it? Rafael is a pathetic hater, so for Floyd the bar keeps moving, he's the biggest name in the sport surpassing all records but he should lament not beating a prime Pacquiao that was under the thrall of Bob Arum? Yeah right. So now that Manny's broke and still defers to his promoter its Mayweather that should lament a fight that was never going to happen, ever? I think Rafael believes because he works for ESPN it makes him immune from the charge of complete and utter stupidity, he's really wrong about that.

Wow new article up at TMZ - sheds light on Money May Floyd "Money" Mayweather to lead Duck Dynasty By Al Bundy, CNN updated 10:35 AM EST, Sat December 24, 2013 http://s14.postimg.org/lsrzlk3jl/image.jpg (CNN) After Duck Dynasty leading star Phil Robertson was suspended following his gay slurs, A&E scrambled to find a replacement. The search didn't take long after A&E reached an agreement with Showtime, to co-star boxing super star Floyd "Money" Mayweather. Showtime, tired of Mayweather ducking Manny Pacquiao and costing them millions of dollars, found a marketing miracle with the suspension of Phil Robertson. Mayweather the superstar boxer who is more concerned about his health and image outside the ring rather than his legacy inside the ring, was ecstatic with move. The constant ducking he has done through the years has taken a toll on him. He was running out of opponents to duck and Showtime director, Stephen Espinoza, who orchestrated the signing of Mayweather was reportedly in line to get axed after costing the network millions. With a strike of marketing genius, he has struck gold. Mayweather released this statement. "First of all I want to thank god. Without him this wouldn't be possible. I want to thank my team, Al Haymon and Leonard Ellerbe. For making this next fight the biggest of my life. I want to thank Showtime, A&E and Duck Dynasty for keeping my legacy alive and going. You know, I'm an American. I represent the red, white, and blue. Duck hunting is what America is about. As a PPV boxing superstar i've ducked all my life and made millions. So I know how to duck. But now I will do the hunting. My experience will help us Duck Hunt. I know how to spot a duck you know. I make millions you know. I sold the most PPV ducking, people loved it you know. It's a business. You know Pacquiao, he's a great champion. My hat goes off to him. But me, I am my own boss, he has Bob and you know, Bob isn't going to let him duck. Me I duck who I want and when I want baby." Mayweather is scheduled to appear on next season's Duck Dynasty which premiers on the 4th of July. Guest appearances by Adrien Broner and Justin Bieber are rumored. Look for a celebrity stacked season opener.:usa2:

Good point. Fine, it's common sense To Me to recognize that Pacquaio has an overall better resume and more impressive achievements than Mayweather. Happy? Fixed that for you. You must not know much about their careers if you think it's so clear-cut in Pac's favor.

Fact? All resume discussions are subjective. Good point. Fine, it's common sense to recognize that Pacquaio has an overall better resume and more impressive achievements than Mayweather. Happy?

Poor Floyd, his Pac meme only backfired on him.

I don't think so. Barrera I was a superb win; two heavily-disputed wins over Marquez; two wins over Morales after he lost to Raheem; and a great Cotto win. Much of his career above 130 has been smoke-and-mirrors. I will co-sign this. 130 down - Manny has a great resume. 135+ - smoke and mirriors.

Sorry Dan, but Floyd already has a legacy(although not as good as Manny's), but still good enough and a win over Sergio at 160lbs for the WBC Middleweight belt would be the icing on the cake. the problem doe is even sergio is done as a fighter already has too many injuries lately i guess its floyds fault for always waiting too long to fight a top A fighter

Pacquaio has a better resume than Mayweather, that's pretty much fact at this point in time. Fact? All resume discussions are subjective.

I don't think so. Barrera I was a superb win; Two heavily-disputed wins over Marquez; Two wins over Morales after coming off a loss; and a great Cotto win. Much of his career above 130 has been smoke-and-mirrors. Pacquaio has a better resume than Mayweather, that's pretty much fact at this point in time.

Truer words have never been spoken. There's stronger Ether in this thread than fat ass Dan's tweet. Pac will be remembered ducking that test, then looking crappier and crappier as each fight went by ending in him getting KTFO by the superior boxer, Juan Manuel Marquez. JMM put a halt to that Manny train. :boxing:

i'll start this by saying that pacquiao does have a better resume than mayweather, but i'd still pick mayweather to beat him at any weight in any fantasy matchup. his arms are too long, and he counters too well, especially with the right hand. fanboys are not going to last that long. in 25 years floyd will be remembered first for how good his defense and technical ability was. i've never seen a fighter who was that sharp on defense. there aren't even all that many fighters whose defense comes close to mayweather. not fighting manny will be part of his legacy, but it won't cloud the fact that he's one of the best pure boxers of all time. I don't think so. Barrera I was a superb win; two heavily-disputed wins over Marquez; two wins over Morales after he lost to Raheem; and a great Cotto win. Much of his career above 130 has been smoke-and-mirrors.
