Why In The World Should Floyd Fight Shane "Now"?

[andrewcuff]

yet, everybody calls his ****ing name out when they win their biggest fight don't they? why blame floyd fans and not the fighters themselves? huh? i bet you can't answer that one logically woithout having to bite that little tongue you have and agreeing with the fans. i mean, these fighters are calling out floyd, floyd's not calling them out, he's happily retired. his haters and the fighters themselves call his name because they know that in order for their favorite fighter to truly be called the best, they have to go through the very best, and that's floyd, period. face it crybaby.

Completely irrelevant. My point was that fighters always have to be somebody else before they can fight Floyd. Cotto will have to beat Mosley again, then rematch Margarito. Its always a case of PBF will fight A, B, or C if they beat the winner of D, E, F. Blah, blah.

To be the best you have to beat the best (quoting Floyd here), which Floyd is amongst. I just don't understand why top fighters like Cotto, Mosley, Pacquiao, Williams etc aren't able to get a fight without beating all other opposition first. Its always if he beats so and so PBF will fight him...

hopkins also said "i'm only fighting if its calzaghe"... calz = retired.

get the similarity?

Less than 2 weeks after Calzaghe's retirement, he has also said that he would entertain the notion of fighting Dawson, so...

"I'm retired" doesn't leave you much wiggle room.

"I'm only fighting if..." leaves you some room to work, because people do realize that can be a bargaining chip. Being retired for over a year, and turning down a rematch with ODLH means he is pretty much for sure retired.

Hopkins hasn't announced officially announced his retirement like Mayweather or Calzaghe has.

People stay on Mayweathers **** the fact is the guy is retired. Get over it haters.

no, not irrelevant at all. the fighters call his name. he's called out mosley, wanted cotto at 140, idk about williams and margarito, but maybe except williams, all of those fighters have called out floyd recently or had their team do it for them. i mean, what's that's saying . i see your point about beating the best and alphabet theory. unfortunately, it's always been that way. many fighters would dream to have that happen to them. they would dream to have the distinciton of having people claim that so and so has to beat him and him and the winner gets that fighter who is the best. floyd's so good, like leonard was, like robinson was, like ali was, like jones was, like whitaker was, like louis was, like tyson was, like lewis was, that people want to see that one fighter emerge to be the one to beat him. the fighters are only enhancing this theory by calling him out, and he's retired, yet, their making offers to his camp. why is this happening. why arent's you criticizing the fighters who feel they need ot beat him to truly be the best, because once again, they know who the best is, and it's floyd, bar none.

The ironic thing is, I think Floyd can beat him now.

I mean Mosley looked good against Tony because Tony was the first fighter Mosley faced that didn't even put up half an effort to move out of the way out of those loaded hooks. Tony just stood there taking them, he didn't bother ducking or even attempt to pick em up visually. He just covered up and ate em.

I doubt Mayweather would be that willing to eat those shots, **** Luis Collazo wasn't even that willing to eat those shots.

I wouldn't be suprised if Mosley enters the ring not looking nearly as good as he did for the Margo fight. I think Mosley's ideal opponents would be Cotto and Berto, both of em are kinda weak.

u floyd fan are something else. yall give a 1000 reasons why not to fight a top fighter & ur only reason to fight him is $ like u getting some of it. if i gotta pay to see a fight i want the fight to be 2 top dogs not 2 top paychecks.

floyd could probably always beat mosley outside of 135 lbs... i give mosley a great chance to beat floyd there.''

its true margo's hittability made mosley lood great though.
