    Why should the boxing world bend over for Floyd?

    He goes into retirement after TKOing a guy that clearly was never meant for the 147lbs division in Hatton. It was clear as day after Callazo nearly had him out. He was smart and returned back down, only to go back up for the paycheck with Floyd. Now Floyd thinks he has the upperhand and that we REALLY need him back. Exactly why? Is it just because his mouth is more entertaining than his fights? I don't see how a man can go into retirement, avoid all the challenges at his weight this way, see how things play out, and then come back when he can find the least dangerous route but biggest pay. I mean, how are ATGs defied this way? They shouldn't be, and this is why boxing is so wrong. It needs to be played along a definite ranking system that means, if you beat boxer C, then B, then you face A. And in that order with no way of skipping or jumping inbetween. That's why it loses so many casual fans because they only tune in to these supermatches.

              threadstarter., get the blindfold off of your puny little eyes dumbass. boxing needs and really wants mayweather back, and don't blame him for everybody mentioning his name, because he is still considered the best of the best, and he is. him beating hatton, while on dancing with the stars only enhances his God given talent, he is the most skilled fighter of his generation and still is today, bar none. get the **** over it. boxing wants floyd, whether to bash him or praise him. they want floyd back really bad. also, the fighters want floyd. blame them, not him. they know who the best is, and it is still clearly floyd. ****, this forum alone makes a poll about who should be favorite in a pacman/floyd fight, and they floyd is the clear winner. why is that? a guy who has been retired for over a year, is still considered the favorite over the number 1 p4p fighter in boxing. all of a sudden, he needs to fight floyd to really be the best, because floyd is the best of the best, and why not blame boxingscene.com for still having his face on the main page tab. everybody in boxing is bending over for floyd, and for great reason. he is the face of boxing, period. whether baby face of villian--he is the boxer to beat, deal with it.

                MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, tell the fighters, Promoters/Mangers, and Trainers, to stop mentioning a retired fighters name.

                I'm cool with him out and no need to keep calling him out.


                If you want him to come out, you're going to have to pay him.

                Freddie actually made a good point in one of his interviews. He basically said, I want Floyd but I don't want to call him out because then Floyd will want all the money...I want him to come to us.

                Either way, you are bringing up his name and for Floyd, who is retired, to hear his name still being mentioned with fights, is probably flattering but at the same time ****ed up.


                Also, remember in regards to Hatton vs. Floyd: Floyd was fighting at 140 and offered the fight twice to Hatton; Hatton refused, Twice...so Floyd moved up. When the fight was finally made, it was at 147, true, but unlike Hatton's weight of 158 come fight time that tired him out, he didn't make the same mistake again: Hatton would come in at his usal fighting weight when he fights at JrWW; this way his stamina would be there.

                Using a certin logic:
                And, Pac is now fighting Hatton. Pac looked Great at 147 yet he is going to fight Hatton who didn't look great there. Great matchup.

                    YOU ARE A MORON.


                    I read your other reply in a different thread about how Floyd should be Figher Of The Year 2008.

                    I'm not even going to bother reading this trash I quoted. I just wanted to let you know that you are truly an idiot.

                    Get Floyd's nuts out of your mouth.
