    Whitney Houston wasn't "hurting" the music industry by not releasing an album for ten years. Barry Sanders didn't "hurt" the NFL by retiring in his prime.

    You "hurt" the sport by taking opportunities away from other people. You are spectacularly aggrandizing the issue.

    He was at home for two years. Pretend he doesn't exist.
    Michael Jordan "hurt" the NBA when he retired in his prime to play baseball. The NBA finals between the Rockets and Magic generated the lowest ratings for the nba finals in the past 25 yrs previously.

      Besides the MILLIONS of $$ that such Mega fights would be GUARANTEED to generate?

      Besides the massive exposure the sport would get when these fights are made?

      Besides (the obvious of) the best fighting the best creating another chapter in boxing history for decades to come?

      Mayweather has skills to be the best, but by depriving the sport of some of it's greatest fights he is not doing boxing any good by fighting a no name prospect instead.

      I think even you are getting tired of Floyd's antics. You are grasping at straws here. How did Whitney Houston* get mentioned in this thread?

        Floyd fight in Mexico?
        This is Alvarez, he's only 19 and everybody in Mexico knows him, all of his fights are on National TV, and Televisa is turning him into an Idol.

            I had commented after May/Marq that Eric was yelling for Nacho to stop the fight around R 10. And Eric was very upset w nacho afterwards.
            That guy wouldnt know the difference between boxing tactics & a fish taco.

                  Barry Sanders 'hurt' the Lions organization by retiring in his prime. Barry Sanders 'hurt' his fans by retiring in his prime. Barry Sanders hurt Lions fans by retiring in his prime. And, you are wrong at that time it hurt the NFL ratings for Lions games. It hurt the NFL at the time cuz one of their big time players was gone from the game. Of course in the long run it didn't hurt the NFL. No player is bigger than the NFL.

                  And, Floyd is not bigger than boxing. However, to say that the face of American boxing not fighting top fighters do not hurt the sport is ridiculous bro. In the long run in won't hurt. Boxing will move on. It always dose. But right now it hurts. Mayweather vs the winner of Cotto-Pac, Mayweather-Mosley, Mayweather-Williams that would help the sport. And, if you not helping the sport you are basically hurting the sport.

                  If this fight happens. It will not be good for boxing. And, again no true boxing fan could defend him for taking this fight. BTW I don't think it would happen. But, if it dose it won't help the sport. And, if its not helping the sport it is not helping boxng. And, if this goes through I don't see how any so called boxing fan could be ok with it.

                  But, you right in the long run it will not hurt. But, right now today the sport of boxing would be hurting.

                    Sorry, man.

                    If Floyd's business was hiring, this kid's resume wouldn't even be considered based on the excuses Floyd has used to duck other fighters.

                    What's the kid's PPV numbers? Who has he fought? Is he a draw?
