- Mosley vs Berto
- Winner vs Winner (Cotto vs Mosley) or (Pacquiao vs Mosley)
- Floyd left out in the cold
I don't think that Floyd deserves to come back and get that fight when guys like Mosley and Cotto have been doing his dirty work for the last past two years or os. Especially when he retired and pulled out on Oscar due to negotiations and the split for that fight. It is clearly his fault that state of boxing is the way it is. he let Manny in. If he had fought Oscar when he was supposed to Manny would have never fought Oscar and the flood gates of all this would have never have been opened. Blame Floyd for Manny becoming the cash cow that he is right now....Lefty

LOL, who are you to say whether Floyd deserves to fight these guys or not?
If a fighter beats cream opponents he always gets another shot at another cream fighter.
And please dont start with all that Floyd didnt fight the welters because there were only 2 welters that people wanted Floyd to fight and they were Cotto and Margarito. Williams and Clottey werent no where and Mosley blatantly ducked a fight 6 months prior to Mayweather-De La Hoya.

The cash cow came calling and he answered the bell and fought Oscar at 154lbs won a title there. Went back down to 147 to meet Hatton for another big pay day. All along people were calling for him to face legitimate 147lbs like Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, Williams and Mosley. I understood business is business and if made sense to bring in those dollars.
Now whether it be due to negotiations his hands the WWE giving him millions to sign a contract with them he retired. Personally I think it had to do with the amount of money he made and the fact his hands were hurting him. he took a breather announced his retirement from the sport. I hold no grudges for that every man is entitled to call it quits when he feels he has no desire to continue. in our sport when you lose the desire to fight you often get hurt inside the ring.
Fast forward to 2008 Floyd is in trouble with the IRS. His real estate investments have gone sour. he is robbed for over 7 mil in ***els. it seems the so called king might be prime for a comeback. Is it $$$ motivated fans and critics ask come fellas with Money Mayweather it is always about the money. So it is rumored he is in the gym training again and might be coming out of retirement to take on the TOP P4P fighters and earn himself a few nice paydays. Allow him to settle up with Uncle Sam and make a few margin calls bail out some real estate debts and so forth.
I can't hate on him if you need to work then you need to work right? Bring on Floyd lets get him tuned up against a fighter and then throw him back in the fire with Cotto or Mosley....Heck lets see him get in their in a rematch with Hatton if he wants it......Manny is ripping through everyone I want to see who is the P4P King once and for all. bring it on i was thinking to myself. So here it comes May 2nd Pac vs Hatton everyone has been drooling over thr fight now for a few months and boom the announcement. the King is back!!! Floyd is coming out of retirement to fight JMM because sometimes you get what you wish for.
Now I am thinking to myself I was hoping to see Floyd come back and fight I know JMM is no slouch but what happened to Cotto, Clottey, Mosley heck even get in there with Berto or Collazo for that matter. Ok so I swallowed that pill and accepted it I said to myself JMM is no slouch you can never measure the size of someones heart and JMM is a true warrior. Floyd is coming of a 18 month layoff and this will be a decent fight. Guess what?
Boom Cotto defeats Clottey it seems tickets sales are down for Floyd and apparently there is an injury to Floyd ribs. What now possibly no fight on July 18th. I see some interviews past and present I watch a few old tapes of fights and honestly I am completely turned off by this hoodwink of a crook. I can't help it fellas I know the man has talent but he irritates me to the core. he talks out the left side of his mouth and sits on his brains. he tells so many lies and has so many excuses for not fighting this guy and not fighting that guy it is awful.
he tells so many lies he forget what he said. i can't see how anyone would like someone who claims to be the best but is so reluctant to prove it. Tossing money at the camera's and into crowds come on. Like I said before if Floyd took on 3 top WW on his supposed hit list and Manny and went 2-2 in those fights but fought and gave us what we wanted I would remember those wars and think 41-2 all the titles and he fought this guy that guy and this guy I would look back and remember that instead of remembering the fights we didn't get.....Lefty
2. The Marquez fight is POSTPONED, not cancelled
3. Margarito was overrated
4. Baldomir was considered a legitimate 147 pounder until Floyd gave him a boxing lesson
5. Yes Floyd contradicts himself all the time which is why should speak on what he does in the ring not what comes out his mouth
**** Floyd said Leonard lost to Camacho...as if it was prime Leonard

There are many more like me who feel the same way. When Floyd held all the cards he put them down to go do some WWE and dance and make public appearances and run a record label now he is in debt and needs moeny and these guys who have been cleaning up should drop everything they are about and hand him a piece of the pie? Let him set a plate at the table because he is rady now to mix it up. What about when they were looking for a plate to be set and he took two loafs of bread and ran into retirement with themm under his arms? You don;t see the big picture my friend the best thing any boxer can do for one antoehr is too fight them. That is how boxers feed themselves and their loved ones. If they cannot get fights then they can;t earn. if we can;t get good match ups and card then the sport dies. He thought he made enough and left these guys out in the cold. oscar held it down for one more year past his prime. He handed the torch to Manny now manny is holding it down. Floyd don;t deserve ish in my eyes. Let him fight a tune up or 2 and then we see where we are at.....Lefty
Why you critisizing Floyd for handing the torch on to Manny? One minute you say you breath boxing the next you critisize Floyd for ****ing boxing up. Theres nothing wrong with the sport at the moment. What you blaming Floyd for?
The sports doing incredibly well. How many big fights have we had this year?
And you critisize Floyd for having a life outside the sport. You should hear yourself. Dont you have other interests outside your working life?
Plus you must have forgotten how Floyd was doing the dance with the stars and training for the Hatton fight simultaneously.
This threads pretty bull****. Your basically critisizing him because of Manny's spotlight at the moment.
