He's a con man who suckers buy into because he has skills. Brian Kenny didn't need to do it, but he exposed him yet again as arrogant and ****y. I don't like ****y show off nobodies on the street who think their **** don't stink because they have money. I certainly can't respect a man with more money than he can spend telling his fans and the public "I steal money". Fighters like DeLaHoya and Leonard were all about money too, but they took on the best fighters regardless. floydv has established his dominance at 135 and below. Titles or no titles, as long as he's been at 147, he hasn't done that. He's a professional wrestler with boxing gloves...a phony.. a hustler...and a **** talker who's bottom line isn't the fans or boxing at all, only his bank account.
    That's not the reason you hate Floyd

    Because there are guys at 135 Manny didn't....but you still love him.

    Roach ADMITTED they took the Oscar fight after seeing he couldn't "pull the trigger anymore" at 147...but you LOVE Catchweight Manny.


    Pac is NOT fighting the best..He still has unresolved issues with JMM but he PUNK-OUT on the trilogy.

      So what?

      David Diaz was exposed and KTFO by Kendall Holt.

      Why didn't Manny fight Nate Campbell?????????????????????????????????

          kendall holt fight was at 140. he lost but he dropped holt too.

          wouldn't call that exposed since his biggest wins came afterwards and he won a belt.

          nate campbell didn't become top ranked at 135 'til after he beat diaz.

          that was in march of 2008. the pac-diaz fight was barely 3 months later.

            i appreciate his skills but he is no very entertaining is he.

              Its exactly the reason I don't like Floyd.

              Because there are guys at 135 Manny didn't....but you still love him.

              Manny had one fight at 135 before moving up. Its not like he's been in the division 3 years without facing the best fighters there.

              Roach ADMITTED they took the Oscar fight after seeing he couldn't "pull the trigger anymore" at 147...but you LOVE Catchweight Manny.
              Oscar was the golden goose, no more no less. Its funny you criticize Manny for taking a monster payday, but you will hang from Floyds nuts when he demands 20 mil garuanteed. Pathetic.

              Pac is NOT fighting the best..He still has unresolved issues with JMM but he PUNK-OUT on the trilogy.
              He fought the best at 126, 130 and 140 as well as grabbing a trinket on his lone stop at 135. Pacquiao has shown a total willingness to fight the best fighters as he's moved up. You can't say the same about your hero.

                Diaz was the weakest Champ at 135...you can't argue that.

                      people that dont think floyd is entertaining dont know and appreciate boxing. yes the baldomir fight got a little boring, but thats nothing less than a testament of floyds skill
