I swear you get a different thing from him every week. First he says Khan has a good following and that fight makes business sense but with the Canelo fight he was all about giving the fans want they want. So is it giving fans what they want or is it about making business sense?
Also he said that Pacquiao fought a blown up lightweight and Rios should have got a tune up fight first. Well didn't he fight a blown up lightweight in Marquez? At no point do I ever remember him saying Marquez needed a tuneup fight first.
A guy who failed to make weight twice in a row at 135, then moves up to 140 for two fights, then goes up to 147, and on his first fight there takes a diuretic to make weight, is far from a blown up lightweight.
I also recall JMM coming back down to 135 after fighting Floyd at 147, and staying there for two more fights without failing to make weight.

Khan has Pakistani fans and fans over in Britain so how is he lying...
Secondly neither Khan or Maidana really have a chance but Khan has a bigger chance than Maidana whos flat footed come-forward with no thinking gameplan would surely only get him outpointed and completely schooled for 12rounds!
The last part you're talking about fair enough.
for the past 5 years he has been making excuses and spouting rubbish to avoid pac and discredit him
the sad part of all of this is you actually have some idiots who believe him lol

I love Floyd but he's hilarious. He really does contradict himself constantly. I'm never sure if he does it on purpose like a troll or because he straight doesn't realize it.
He deserves credit for his fighting abilities but the guy Is a walking contradiction and he doesn't do well In the arguing department as I believe most people that heard the radio show with rude jude would attest to.

The thing with Floyd is that he knows a lot of people dislike him, so he doesn't give a **** what he says. He's basically a businessman first & a fighter second. That's why he said it's not about working harder, it's about working smarter which means he picks the easiest fights for the easy money.
He keeps driving the point home that Manny is 1-2 in his last 3 fights but how many times in the build up to the Khan fight will he mention that Khan is 2-2? Zero! He will say things like he is a true champion b/c he was knocked and got up.
not at or under the lightweight limit...saying rios is a lightweight is like saying pacquiao is a flyweight.....sure they fought there at one time but could they realistically/safely make that weight again? NO.....
uhh not exactly but I see your point.
the larger point was floyd contradicts himself dozens of times. when he does-it doesn't necessarily mean what he is saying isn't true.
how much does he weigh in the photo.

lmao rios was anything but blown up..if anything he was fighting at his close-to-natural-weight class against pacquiao....when people say that rios is a lightweight i can't help but laugh.....and rios had already fought twice at 140 against alvarado...
this is a lightweight rios......failed to make lightweight TWICE and ended up looking like a skeleton each time....

There are a ton of contradictions in his statements. That said, does that make what he says false?
Pac did fight a blown up lightweight in Rios. Floyd did fight a blown up LW in JMM. Perhaps Rios needed a tune up b/c he lost his previous fight while JMM didn't.
Yes he said these things about Khan and Canelo. Does each fight have to be made for the same reasons?
SO its clear floyd contradicts himself often. Its also clear that posters treat every floyd fight as the same set of circumstances whether they apply or not.

It's so funny!
You are asking for the guy to exercise a logically sound and coherent discourse?
Funny indeed! :D
Hold on guys, I got the answer for you. I left my graphing calculator at home, so just hang tight. I'm going to have to graph some functions and use the fundamental Theorem of Algebra to solve this one. even albert Einstein himself couldn't figure this one out in his head.
Difference is, Rios wasn't a lightweight anymore. he was already at 140 where Marquez never fought.
but you already know this.
