    true. I 100% agree.
    but let's not forget, SRL did offer Pryor the fight. But he only offered Pryor
    500k...And Pryor felt like he was getting lowball...Considering how much money that fight would make and how much money he would recieve.

    Basically SRL was going to pay Pryor the Equivalent of a stay busy fight. and Pryor decided that he was worth more than that and turn down SRL offer.

    and the comparison between PBF vs. The "Juice Man" and SRL and Pryor.

    it is funny because both Pryor and mosley were considered cheaters.
    and both SRL and PBF are considered the best

      call it what you want, but pay days are apart of boxing, just as much as
      Promoters, referees, and judges are apart of boxing. And the faster you realize this, the easier your life will become.

        Fuck that ****. I want to see competitive fights and not these primadonnas like Floyd, Juan Ma, and Berto (We'll have to see if he gets cold feet too) ducking the best.

          SRL didn't treat Pryor fairly... just like PBF isn't treating Mosley fairly...

          and we (real boxing fans) are all poorer because of the greed / fear / risk aversion of 2 men.

            competitive fights?

            the problem is people want floyd to get into wars....and what kind of standard in it self is that to judge somebody on...?

            I mean Floyd is always in a no win situation.
            Why bleed and cut it you don't have too?
            I don't blame Floyd for not wanting to be punch drunk.

            Floyd is tryng to give us competitive fights..but his opponents dont have the will, skill, and courage to make it competitive...
            including the #2 p4p in the world

            Who fault is it that Maquez chose not to do what he said he was going to do. WHICH WAS FIGHT BALLS OUT AND THROW 5 AND 6 PUNCH COMBINATIONS.

            Marquez could have made his fight with floyd competitive by being a warrior and selling out like casitillo and chavez did..

            But he didnt... and tryed to box and got outclassed.

            Could you imagine someone like MJ dumbing down his skill level to make a bball game closer so people can see a more competitive game ?

            Allot of "so-called" boxing fans but really are just "FIGHT FANS" are always trying to force Floyd and other fighters that practice the sweet science to abandon their defense and put there chin in the air for there enjoyment.


            FLOYD is boxing at its purist form.
            So the excitement you should get is not Wanting Floyd to change his game up...

            But wanting to see if anybody will take the risk like Castillo did in order to beat Floyd.....Floyd shouldn’t have to change his style to accommodate FIGHT FANS like SOME OF you.



            BOXING FANS love his style just the way it is...

              how is Pbf not treating Mosley fairly in your opinion?
              i can understand SRL and Pryor to a certain extent...
              but i dont understand your pbf vs. mosley assumption

                  The haters dont want to hear non of this ,,,, I personal love skilled fighters and Floyd is one of the best Ive ever seen , its not a tough man competition its pro boxing at the highest level and a boxing fan can appreciate the different type of fighters for what they are , you dont have to win face first to be great .

                    floyd isn't treating mosley fairly.

                    first he tells mosley that mosley isn't a draw because he isn't loud and obnoxious like floyd. then when mosley gets loud and obnoxious, floyd says mosley's off the "hitlist". molsey can't win with floyd because floyd keeps changing the rules. that's not fair.

                      floyd's a great talent and a natural, but he isn't fightin the best WWs... that's all we want... for him to fight the best WWs.. I don't think that's asking too much.
