Comments Thread For: Mayweather Hints At Pacquiao Exhibition

[HandsofIron]

Absolutely.

Floyds last exhibition the arena was empty. Jig is up.

He needs a Manny, Canelo, or Crawford for people to even care at this point.

Problem is, outside of totally shopworn Manny, those guys hit back.

Out of those 3, only a Canelo rematch will do big numbers.

PacMay left a very bad stain on boxing and Bud Crawford, as great as he is, still is unknown among casual fans.

First sign of an ******? Speaks of themselves in third person. I’m imagining Floyd and Miguel having a conversation where neither one speaks in the first person form.


cotto: Miguel cotto loves Floyd because Miguel cotto is a warrior and Miguel cotto appreciates good boxing because you know Miguel cotto is a legend.

mayweather: “the TBE has always appreciated Miguel cotto because he gave Floyd mayweather his roses while he was still active and as the best ever Floyd Mayweather stands alone but appreciates Miguel cotto showing love to Floyd mayweather”

cotto: oh and look out for Miguel cotto’s promotion boxing club, cotto boxing.

Williams, Margarito, Prime Manny, Stevie Johnston, Winky Wright, Thurman wasn't avoiding him.

Place more Floyd excuses here:

Folks always leave winky out of the conversation like Floyd didn’t steal the testing stuff from him. To this day, winky caught Peter Quillin dirty and it cost him his career, Al Haymon wasn’t about to have that cloud over his stable. Anyone can talk shhh about wanting to clean up the sport but it was winky who really started asking the right questions and led us know, promoters control what their fighters actually get tested for and how they can make results vanish.

How do you figure that one when Mayweather requested USADA testing in 2009 and onward and Winky Wright-Peter Quillen happened in 2012?

I would have preferred to see Floyd - Margarito than Floyd - Baldomir in 2006. More interesting clash of styles. Some call it a duck, some justify it by saying he didn't want to work with Arum again.

Floyd said repeatedly he made "smart business decisions". I took that to mean: he got himself to a position where he could choose his opponents. His defenders praise him for that but simultaneously say he fought everyone he should have and if it didn't happen at the ideal time it was someone else's fault.

I found Floyd underwhelming. Still do. He made a lot of money. Great. I like boxing, not other people's garish ***ellery.

The most important frame in your post is " I took that to mean ", and that is where things take some very weird turns into personal agendas based on emotional conditioning formed by second, third, and fourthhand information, in which possibly none of them may be true.

A famous guy in his field once said to me, you know they can create lies out of thin air, accuse, condemn and sentence, then spread it around like Marmalade on toast to be consumed by a sea of fools.

I'm so glad Floyd beat pac all those years ago I remember the bs being peddled daily by pac fans who thought he would walk through Floyd easily.it made it hard to like pac when he is actually a great fighter and fun to watch

Neither of them was going to walk through the other I guess it was destined to be a dud fight. they were both so much better than the rest of their division so much so the ghost of pacquiao even beat a champion in this era Thurman pretty easily

I wouldn't mind seeing them have an exhibition but neither of them would treat it that way so I doubt it happens

Are you serious? Floyd took the fight after Pac was on the slide. Then when Pac said he had injured his shoulder - Floyd refused him a rematch. This is hardly warrior stuff. Ali makes Floyd look like a little boy. Guy took on beasts when they were beasts...

Floyd beat a novice Canelo, mocked him for agreeing to lose weight (Called him ******) then refused to rematch him once he got good

It's Floyd fans who are delusional. Guy was too scared to even fight Amir Khan when he still looked good. Khan won Floyd's *own* Twitter poll for next opponent. Watching Floyd duck out of it was hella funny!

You clearly focused on one part, which I explained. Winky started asking the right questions and showed us even Floyd’s testing was bullshhh and to this day still is. All testing implement by a promoter or boxer is bullshhh. Why? Because you get a checklist to select what you want testing on.

Not engaging this to that extent Floyd won and Floyd was older than pac when they fought and on the slide himself

Doesn't matter what you post the history books say Floyd beat Pac and theres nothing you can do about it

Oh, I get you.

Well in that case I understand your point.

But that would mean you're implying USADA are corrupt?
