    Manny was nowhere in the picture

    It took Floyd almost ten years to fight/beat two fighters who would have got the most respect for beating instead he gets no respect for beating far lessor versions

      Manny just wants to fight he don't want to be questioned about Floyd's domestic court issues
      Ahh got it. So Floyd paid off the courts to keep his fight schedule. Wait you just said it was a trick. Make up your mind idiot.

      If Manny just wanted to fight, then agree to fight and say no comment if asked about Floyd’s issues. Isn’t that hard.

      You’re not making any sense with these made up excuses for Manny ducking in 2013.

        I said it's in his best interests


        That's a Floyd problem

        Good that Manny doesn't associate with convicted felons who dabble in bribery

          We’re discussing 2013. Manny avoided the fight again. Cotto stepped up thus proving your excuses about tricks etc false.

          It didn’t take that long at all. Manny kept ducking. Nothing you can do when a man doesn’t want to fight you.

          Cotto moved up and left TR after Bob drained him to get manny a cw title. When the fight came his way he took it and fought admirably.

          Unlike the coward Manny that fought like he was just there for the check. But we’ve beaten that horse dead.

          kudos to Cotto for 2013 and being willing to fight the best at a full 154.

            ok so this is a passive way of admitting manny didn’t want the fight. Again you’re blaming g Floyd for Manny’s cowardice.

            Floyd had no problems. They were addressed. The only issue that prevented the fight from happening was Manny suddenly getting fake stitches.

            Him being a felon has no bearing on them fighting in the ring. You need another excuse. This is boxing. Felons have historically fought.

              Just like if Floyd wanted to fight in 2009, don't try to stick in unheard of osts at the last minute

                Like how Floyd passively stuck in osts at the last minute in 2009. He was scared

                    Both boxers were taking ped tests. Not a big deal. Certainly not something to duck the fight for.

                    well unless you have needle fear.

                    But that was then. This is about 2013.
