Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather May Think He Will Lose, Says Merchant

[TboneNYC09]

The whole idea why floyd jr came back from retirement was to get back what Manny Pacquiao took.Floyds #1 spot as the best in boxing.If Floyd jr was so concerned about being undefeated he would of just stayed retired.If you dont fight,you cant lose.
Come'on Larry,your supposed to be a pro...I could deal with people on these boxing sites saying that BS but from a pro analyst?

HBO's expert analyst Larry Merchant has once again discussed the ongoing saga to make a March super-fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. This time Merchant spoke with AOL's Fan House. Merchant has been around a long time and he's seen a lot of tough negotiations for fights. He never saw anything like the Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiations. He still doesn't fully understand the logic of Mayweather's position to demand random Olympic-style drug tests. That sole demand has destroyed the negotiations and caused Pacquiao to sue Mayweather, Golden Boy Promotions and others. [Click Here To Read More]

Larry is misguided if he thinks Floyd can lose.Manny is VERY EASY TO BEAT,I REPEAT VERY EASY TO BEAT.Anyone with a boxing brain knows how easy Manny is to analyse and Mayweather will be too much for Manny.Manny has 2 key positions he uses when fighting that's why anyone who moves is difficult for Manny.Manny has 2 shots from 2 positions.Everything else he does is geared towards landing those 2 shorts.Time will not allow me to go into depth but Manny Pacquiao is a very basic fighter.Apart from Marquez everyone else who lost to Manny should fire their trainer.They have ******s in their corner because Manny is a very basic fighter

this ***** backs mayweather 100% and pac too. that old ass merchant thinks that a loss is more important than 40million dollars and he said that floyd believe that he will win but is concerned that he may lose.this old chump has been around to long.this is a business not the old days larry.

I never thought Floyd ducked Cotto I think he really did just want to take some time away from the sport... Floyd an Roger are very good a analyzing boxers and they without a doubt would of seen what i saw that Cotto poosed aboslutely no threat to Floyd if they fought... Even that undefeated 2007 version of Cotto would of taken a one-sided schooling by Floyd
