Mayweather would have NEVER taken such a risk

    Thank you. Of course JMM accepted the extra money. He has a family to look after. Let’s not forget when Mayweather offered more money to Maidana to NOT USE horse hair filled gloves for the rematch.

      Well, Ggg is a good boy and wasn't ducking everyone in his division like floyd routinely did.

        GGG was calling out Ward yet when Ward said let's do fight GGG wants to stay at Middle Weight. Then he turned around and offered to move up and fight Froch. GGG fought no one until he fought Jacobs.

        Tell me please who did Floyd duck ? He fought more champions than anyone. Let me guess.... he waited until Manny was old to fight him. Yet Floyd is older than Manny. How does that work exactly ? He waited till Shane was old... Floyd called out Shane in his prime and Shane could not answer because his tooth was hurting. It is strange how no one remembers these things yet called Floyd a cherry picker.

          Thurman, spence, brook, bradley. These guys were all in the same division as floyd. Can you please tell me how Floyd didn't manage to fight one of them please?

              I remember when Mayweather came back from retirement in 2009, he told everybody a bunch of names he wanted to fight. Lots of clowns said he would never fight those people. But he did, and he won. And still here we are with threads like this

              If people thought Floyd Mayweather Jr. was going to return for a payday or two and then head back into retirement, they are very mistaken. Mayweather returns to

                Spence and Brook both no belt and no ranking they were not even where Virgil Ortiz is now. Floyd was fighting champions or fighters coming of well regarded wins. No reason to fight them and if you remember Brooke was very lightly regarded he was an under dog against porter and not even heard of here in the states.

                Bradley they did not fight because of promotional issues and not to mention Bardley got a boxing lesson from Manny and Bob Arum robbed Manny to build up Bradly because Manny's contract was up. How did you get beat up so bad your sprain both your ankles and still get a decision. I am not sure how you could even mention Bradley with a straight face.

                You still have not answered my question about GGG and Ward. Do you consider that a duck or not ? I mean he will come up in weight to fight Frock but not for Ward.

                  Winky Wright ? Please tell when Winky Wright was ever a welter weight I will wait while you go look that up.

                  Paul Williams had no title so what does Floyd earn from fighting him ?

                  Margarito, Manny, Cotto all with Top Rank and Arum would not put his people in with Floyd not to mention Manny was scared of needles.

                  Prime Shane in my previous post I explained that Floyd asked a Prime Shane for a fight and Shane refused. he couldn't answer that question because he had a tooth ache.

                  Khan ? Didn't he get starched by Breidis Prescott ? Then he got knocked out by Swift Garcia. He stood no chance if Floyd fights him that is a cherry pick for sure.

                  Thurman had not earned it yet.

                  I know you guys just want to bring up whoever he didn't fight. Why don't you look at who he did fight and look at their credentials and the wins they were coming off of.

                  You guys seem to just hate the fact that Floyd created a great legacy for himself and you refuse to give him credit.

                  Another thing Floyd is older than Manny how does that work exactly. Seems like it would be worse on Floyd if he waits because he is older.

                    You mean like when ODH paid Floyd to wear the gloves he wanted. Right?? Or is that different?

                      the fact that this thread is still on page 1 shows Floyd's hold over boxing

                      He dominated many people's favorite fighters

                      and they still can get over it nearly a decade later
