    Good observation. This is how good PBF's plan is, even his most ardent fans don't realize what he is doing.

    I've always said that while you may admire PBF's ATG skills, talent and boxing smarts you should also face the fact that PBF stopped fighting top fighters and started cherrypicking after his rematch with JLC. I think this was the turning point and the exact time he became the smartest man in boxing.

      how about you stop assuming youknow people based on how they are in the media.

      the media makes people look the way they want to, just like when it comes to bulding a fight Floyd plays a role like an actor.

      you have no idea what hes like in his personal life. if he was like his media persona. he wouldnt be the father he is and cherish his kids.

      the way you read someone and see their true character is by the little and subtle things they do, the things they arent conscious of

            it doesnt matter the profession.

            at the end of the day its about money not FANS. if it was all about fans or whatever you claim, why dont you box?

              well first. alot of your smartest or most intelligent people in the world dont articulate themselves very well.

              not everyone who is smart is articulate and not everyone who is articulate is smart.

              hell pimps, hustlers and thieves are some of the most articulate manipulators in the world. some are really smart most arent, thats why they get caught

                  Very simply, Floyd has played everyone. He's as good at self promotion as he is in the ring.

                    Boxing is a dangerous sport and we all know that bad things can happen in the fight game. I think Floyd just wants to be able to recognize his kids when he's fifty. More power to him for protecting his life and continue to provide for his kids. On the other hand, if you are PBF fan, please accept that after the JLC rematch he became more cautious in his career and this is a fact.

                    At least, before JLC II, we saw the brillance, the heart and the greatness that was always predicted of him after turning pro. Pre JLC II, Floyd was one of the best that ever was. After that, it's debatable. However, if he beats JMM, Cotto, PAC, Mosley and PWILL, we shall have seen one of the most amazing, entertaining, unique, and brillant fighters ever to lace em up. I highly doubt he'll take such risks. I think his last fight would be Manny for the P4P title and then retire.

                      i also think that cherrypicking is one of his strategies. why? cause people buy his fights to see him get his ass whooped and of course, those who he cherry picked(floyd pick fighters he can generally beat style wize) wont be able to beat him so people would only hope to get his ass beat in the future. so he will cherry pick again, people will buy his fight, then he will win. same cycle over and over. though i think people today doesnt buy his crap anymore cause he talks like hes gonna beat the hell out of his opponent but he dont. look at the disappointment in oscar-pbf fight. with that being said i expect pbf-jmm ppv numbers to be pathetic
