Larry Merchant: "Floyd retired cause he broke both hands patting himself on the back"

[DuttyAlacrity]

I agree with most of the article, PBF is definitely not the greatest of all time... I'm thinking top 20 or so
However, why do people keep claiming that floyd ducked mosely?!? Sugar tooth Mosely ducked floyd twice

Manny is a HUGE Floyd hater.

I wouldn't call him a "hater" but he is obviously not a fan of floyd... I think it's because Manny feels that floyd doesn't respect the former greats

[niceguy45]

yup, we can't max kellerman to relace larry;
mayweather is overrated that punk

[DuttyAlacrity]

It appears Rafel is forgetting that Floyd chased Mosley for years, and Shane avoided Floyd like the plague.

THANK YOU! Why are people suffering from this selective amnesia?!?

Yeah I don't understand that. Floyd challenged Mosley twice and once was after Mosley knocked Vargas out, but Mosley said he wanted the rest of 2006 off. Dan Rafael is full of it and that proves it

How do u call someone out AFTER they state that they will be taking the rest of the year off, then claim that they ducked u. If u call out a fighter after he retires, and he says "no", is that ducking? When Mosley returned from his break, who was the first person he called out? Floyd, thats who. What did Floyd say? "i dont fight sparring partners"

ok... how do you explain the toothache excuse?

[deevel79]

They are both guilty of ducking eachother.

Well if you anlayze it Shane smiles a lot. And he smiles very hard. So maybe that's what caused his tooth ache.

if there were any guidelines that determine what is a duck from what isn't I would think that after one fighter called out another on 2 seperate occasions and was turned down (especially with a toothache excuse) that fighter should be justified in saying that the other fighter lost his opportunity. *I hope that all makes sense*Which is what floyd said. He said Mosely lost his opportunity along with sayin that he's just a sparring partner
