Contenders that Floyd Dodged

lol! These statements made in 2005? Only one of them made before Tszyu lost to Hatton? Isn't that a little dated, Dios?NUMBER ONE:
May 19th, 2005:
- Is there anybody out there that you want to fight after Gatti?
- Like I said at my last fight when I called Kostya Tszyu out. I called him out. Kostya Tszyu don't never call my name out. Every time they ask about my name, he try to duck and dodge the question and go around my name. I am not like any of these guys; I got a chin, I can give it and take it, I can box, I can fight on the inside as well as the outside and I am smart. He knows I am an intelligent fighter. Smart fighters know smart fighters.
NUMBER TWO:
The Las Vegas Review-Journal is Nevada's most trusted source for local news, Las Vegas sports, business news, gaming news, entertainment news and more.
"I can't make these guys fight," said an exasperated Mayweather, who had hoped to face Wright in what would have been one of the year's most intriguing bouts instead of what will turn out to be nothing more than a glorified exhibition.
Former lightweight, welterweight and super welterweight champion Shane Mosley was offered a bout against Mayweather, but declined.
Mosley said he wanted a couple of tuneups, but said he'd fight Mayweather next year.
Kostya Tszyu isn't sure he'll fight again. His conqueror, Ricky Hatton, turned Mayweather down before money was even discussed.
Oscar De La Hoya has mentioned Mayweather, but said he won't consider him until late 2006.
That's around the time when Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said he'd be willing to put young and promising Miguel Cotto in against Mayweather.
NUMBER THREE:
Jan, 2005
http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxin...yu-hoya-cotto/
Today’s sensational 140-pound crop includes universally recognized champion Kostya Tszyu (31-1), his next challenger Ricky Hatton (38-0), Mayweather (32-0), and Cotto (22-0).
Gatti (38-6), resurgent recently, has a big following, and adds steam to boxing’s best division.
It all sounds great until the socio-political stuff factors in. Tszyu fights for Showtime.
Mayweather, Cotto and Gatti all fight for HBO. It’s a highly unusual situation that the smaller of the two subscription-cable boxing giants holds sway over a division populated by so many of the larger network’s fighters, but that is the position.
"I would love to fight Kostya Tszyu,” Mayweather said. “If the money's right, I'll go to Russia to fight him. I just want to show I'm the best. But with HBO and Showtime, I know it's going to be hard to make the fight."
Mayweather’s first order of business is a June pay-per-view fight with Gatti, which is a long, long way from a done deal.
He would like Tszyu after that, unless Oscar De La Hoya wants to rumble. Mayweather still craves that fight, though De La Hoya consistently has remained three weight divisions heavier. But if De La Hoya drops back to welterweight as advertised, they will be separated by just one division and seven pounds.
"It's part of history. My uncle's a two-time world champion, we've got a lot of controversy with my dad and my uncle, two fighters from the same family, one training the Golden Boy (Floyd Mayweather Sr.) and one training the Pretty Boy (Roger Mayweather). It's a fight I think should be made,” Floyd Jr. said. "I know at the end of the year, it's going to be me and Oscar. We've got to get it on. He can't keep ducking and dodging."
NAME: DIOS DOMINICANO
OCCUPATION: EXPOSING WILEY HYENA'S LIES
Google Tszyu. There are a number of articles in this regard. I will not find them for you, but you are so adept at this kind of thing I think you can find them on your own. There is one interview with Tszyu wherein Tszyu specifically mentions fighting Floyd in 2007, in another Tszyu mentions coming out of retirement to fight Floyd if possible, in another Tszyu mentions Floyd along with Sharmba Mitchell during the 2003-2004 time period.
How do these articles account for the fact that all Floyd had to do was force a mandatory by staying in 140? How do these articles account for the fact that Floyd reasonably had from 2003-2005 to get a high dollar fight with Tszyu, yet no serious inquiries were made. How do these articles account for anything during the time which Floyd was fighting the "5 bums". The bottom line is these articles do NOTHING but cover Floyd's ass, because he knows he never had any serious intention of fighting Tszyu while he was still formidable. How do these articles account for the fact that neither DLH or Mosely went after Tszyu either? Is this just coincidence? I do not think so.
Your articles may buttress up the Mayweatherites on this issue, but they do nothing to alter the facts.Comment

Dios ETHERING that windbag Wiley Coyote again... You keep on bringing up this ****, time and time again. About who Mayweather ducked...about who's "resume" is better. You just keep spewing bull**** Coyote. And it's not like you have history on your side. Or any "facts" that you can pull up. It's simply haterade. I'm not making threads on "Mayweather is the greatest of all time", or anything related to the sort. YOUR making threads on "who did PBF duck?" Who gives a ****. 38-0. THATS what you need to realize. Come Dec 8th, its going to be 39-0. And thats whats getting the sand in your vagina irritated...Comment

No lies. God, Dios, that doesn't respond to what I said at all. Respond to it if you can. Is it just those articles, all published in 2005?? I mean, IS THAT IT? IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT???
lol! If so, then that is an absolutely pathetic job of lawyering, Dios.
But, on a more serious point: Where is the list? Up until now we have Tszyu and Margarito. Is that it?Comment

Listen, your argument that PBF ducked ZOO has already been dismantled in TWO other threads.No lies. God, Dios, that doesn't respond to what I said at all. Respond to it if you can. Is it just those articles, all published in 2005?? I mean, IS THAT IT? IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT???
lol! If so, then that is an absolutely pathetic job of lawyering, Dios.

Don't you feel PATHETIC in starting ANOTHER new thread, hoping that people will not bother exposing your bull****?Comment

That's the problem. The argument was not dismantled at all in my previous thread. And in case you didn't notice, this thread inquired as to who Floyd dodged and was not specific to Tszyu. This is a valid question because the non-Floyd people insist that Floyd cherry picked opponents. Honestly, I would think you would feel rather encouraged by the fact that up until now only Tszyu and Margarito have been mentioned.Comment
