I am not talking about him ruining stuff for fighters. Floyd is not taking money from fighters. Floyd is not taking food out of any fighters plate. But, Floyd is hurting boxing. Again if you not helping boxing Then you are hurting boxing. I could care less if you and Mangler agreed. I don't agree. Floyd vs Pac-Cotto winner, Floyd-Shane would be huge boost for the SPORT THAT I LOVE. He is not giving us that. You right Shane can fight somebody else, Pac-Cotto winner could fight somebody else. And, still make millions. But, if the face of american boxing fights Shane, Cotto, Pac it would do a lot of for boxing. But, he is not willing to do that. If he takes this fight he will be hurting boxing. He would not be hurting the fighters or anybody individually. But, he will be hurting the sport. In the long run the sport will be fine maybe even better when he leaves. But, in the meantime as the face of american boxing and is not willing to fight the best. Hurts boxing.You are reinforcing my point... but you're slightly off-base.
Floyd 'hurts' Team MAyweather if he doesn't choose to fight. But he isn't hurting the sport. Similarly, it hurt the Lions org, but not "the sport", when Barrry retired.
Floyd's career and legacy is his. Solely. He can do what he wants with it. For any fan to get angry is ludicrous. I am not one of the fans - of any sport - that feels an athlete "owes" me something. Honest performances in the ring. That's it. If John Daly, who is very talented, wants to drink his career away...HIS career. There will be someone else to take his spot.
Floyd isn't taking anything away from anyone. Not licensing fees, not WCB or BAD dates, not promotional budgets or efforts, nothing. Floyd's imprint is such that you should be able to strike a line through his name and it not affect anyone else. That is essentially what happened the past two years.
He tells Shane. "Not interested. Do you". If Floyd strung Shane along "I'll fight you...wait...wait...wait". And then he pulled out, then yes. That would be jacked up. He isn't doing that. He told all those guys to go do their thing.
Mangler and I had this discussion earlier, and it is one of the few "Mr Boat buyer" things we agree on: Floyd isn't ruining anything for anybody.
I hate Oscar but I will admit that his overrated ass helped boxing. When he was the face. He helped put Pac on the map, Floyd on the map, Tito on the map, Mosley became more of a household name fighting Oscar. If he never fought Floyd, Tito, Mosley bro that would of hurt boxing. Just like Floyd would hurt boxing if he takes this.
But, you keep going and try to defend his actionsComment

I get your point, really, but the problem is that I LOVE THIS SPORT and the best fighter don't even care for us, the fans or his legacy. I consider Floyd the most talented boxer since prime RJJ, and I even think that he would beat everyone right now but he won't do it and I find that really frustrating.Comment
