    I'm a fan of Mayweather btw, just not a nutthugger, just wanted to see what kind of response I would get on a thread like this.

    Like a survey, if you will.

        Pacquiao had no am career, his early pros was his am, thats why his early losses should have no right being brought up as a bargaining tool now in negotiations.
        you are reaching with this sir. you really are. I've never been at a negotation table, but I would imagine ALL KINDS OF STUFF IS BROUGHT UP FROM BOTH SIDES.

            im pretty sure a lot is brought up. But can you quote me ONE thing MANNY has said to critisize Floyd? Just ONE thing. Not Roach, BUT Manny..cause we all know what Floyd Sr and Roger have said...

            I mean Floyd wont give the guy credit for any of his accomplishments....sounds to me like Floyd doesnt wanna fight.. He usually disses someone he doesnt wanna fight

              For the last time, Mayweather was talking about size.

              SIZE.

                Headgear is nice and all..but you can still get knocked out wearing it. Or have the fight waved off pretty easily.

                In the Ams you only have to be caught with a few flush shots and some refs will call it off.

                The last amateur event I went to a little over half the bouts ended in KO or TKO.

                Olympics are the same way... Ams are ams...

                Though, Olympics aren't as quick to call a fight off, true.

                  It can't work ****ing both ways Floyd.

                  1995 U.S. featherweight representative at the World Championships in Berlin.

                  * Lost to Nouredine Medjihoud (Algeria) PTS (6-8)

                  1996 Qualified as a featherweight for the United States Olympic Team.
                  * Lost to Augie Sanchez PTS (11-12)

                  1996 Featherweight Bronze Medalist for the United States at the Olympics in Atlanta.

                  * Lost to Serafim Todorov (Bulgaria) PTs (9-10)

                  There might be more, haven't worked it out exactly, But it's UNFAIR that Mayweather gets the best of both worlds.
                  I don't know if that is a comparison that Pac fans will like. Floyd has close decision losses (if your info is correct). PacMan has KO losses.

                  But I agree. They were both at 106. They are both at 147 now. They both have losses over that time.
