YOU are the one ignorant of the situation, so i suggest YOU find out if floyd ducked in prime ATG bona fide hall famers while he was fighting. hell we dont even have to go IBHOF status, we can just go with threatening opposition.
the answers are obvious (considering floyd has a reputation for cherry picking fights, protecting his undefeated record) but i guess not obvious enough to some people. YOU.
I already put up links so do your own research on it bud. It's not hard to find. It's even a recurring thread on this site and when the truth comes up, the Floyd Boys either make excuses or disappear.
Floyd ducked Winky Wright back in 2005. It was a 50-50 split then Floyd came at the last minute, wanted a higher split and the fight was off. Bob Arum actually did the dirty work for Floyd.
Your boy Floyd long before backing out with Manny, had a pattern of backing out of fights against fighters who posed a higher risk. Winky Wright, Margarito, Prime Manny.
He would go through the motions and act like he wanted to fight these guys, but the truth is he didn't want that smoke.
I got nothing against Floyd though, and c'mon, the man was great, and had IMO an undeniable impact on the sport. Being Money was part of it. Why bag on the retired guy?
Fighting Manny again would be less disgraceful than most of the exhibitions he's done lately, but the man is in it for easy money, and more power to him if he can make money for the guys he's doing exhibitions against lately. Manny is probably too high risk, even if it were higher reward.
