Mayweather played this all out nicely

[Johnny Rebel]

I hate Floyd as a person as much as anybody, but to deny his talent in the ring is beyond ridiculous... I will be rooting (hoping) for Pac to KO PBF but IMHO Floyd is just going to potshot and counter Pac all night long if they should fight. Floyd will win (steal) 7-9 rounds and NSB we be filled with threads about Floyd "running" from Pac because Floyd will never engage Pac and the fight will probably be boring, similar to Whitaker/JCC, IMO.

Then he fights Pacquiao.

and if he wins plenty of people will remember him

doubt it.

just because you beat a guy doesn't make you automatically the better fighter with the better resume.

not how it works.

[shogunn]

He let all these top guys eliminate each other.

Now he will fight Pacquiao, and if he wins it will be like he also just beat Cotto without even beating Cotto.

Not the most courageous move, but smart none the less.

what a clever way of saying he ducked threats and picked on lesser opponents.

floyd and his dumb fans think alike, theyre almost extensions of his vagina

[Jiddu Dali]

One of the ******est quotes I can remember. Mayweather is already on ESPN's top 50 all time greats. Mayweather will be remembered as a 6 time world champion (assuming he does not win another) and he will be regarded as one of the best pure boxers of all time.

is Pac on there?

[Bigdaddy_Vh]

floyd needs to beat Pac and Shane to be where pac is right now.

[Bushbaby]

Wait a minute,wait a minute,so some people are actually giving floyd props for taking the easy road??Wow,that is shameless for real!!

[boxing2106]

well hel get credit but not full respect for still ducking fighters in the past.. hes gonna fight pac cuz he has too.. too much money at stake.. boxers are more respected for thier legacies then thier pay days

[RodBarker]

How is that smart...............he will be barely remembered when it comes to boxing.

Who are you kidding , he beats Pac he will be remembered for a hell of a long time ,,, not like say Calzaghe who wont be remembered in as soon as 10-20 years
