Does Pacquiao fighting Foreman give Floyd an excuse..

[-Antonio-]

to fight Malignaggi? Remember this is the same guy who retired when Cotto was at the top, stayed retired when Marg got through with him, STAYED retired after Mosley's big win. And when Floyd did come back, it was the same nonsense about Mosley either not being a draw or JMM being a tune-up.

When does he lose the benefit of the doubt? Did he lose it when he retired? Remember he was supposed to fight Oscar in a rematch before that.

The big thing with Floyd before he retired was the fact that he hadn't faced an elite Welterweight. He fights at Welterweight, he called himself the lineal champion, yet he has yet to face an elite natural Welterweight. If and when he faces Paulie, that will still ring true.

Does the money excuse matter now? Paulie is not the draw that Mosley, Cotto, even Margarito is (in LA or Vegas at least). There is no way he brings more money than the names mentioned.

Does the win/loss excuse matter? Paulie was beaten up by Cotto and humiliated by Hatton already.

Can he call it a tune-up? Maybe if he were planning on making an appearence on the Jersey Shore it'd be a tune-up for something. As for a tune-up for a bigger fight? Been there done that with Marquez.

So if this fight doesn't get made and Manny goes on to face yet another difficult task in Yuri Foreman (laugh all you want, Foreman is a natural boxer and a lot longer than Pac, he has the style to give him fits), while Floyd fights Paulie, will you give him the benefit of the doubt, or will it just be another weak Mayweather excuse?

No! Fug that! Tired of PBF stayin' safe and takin' it easy...I wanna' see him fight somebody scary! I still haven't given up on the Pac fight but failing that, the winner of Mosely/Berto! Joshua Clottey! Somebody badass enough to stretch his talents a little...

Don't get me wrong. I think he beats all of the above, but I wanna' see Floyd full-****ing-on! 'A+' game, lemme' see-ur-war-face, full-tilt-boogie, fightin' his ass off!! We've made him rich and put up w/all of his moronic, whiny rants and embarrassing antics, haven't we?!!! Cmon' Floyd!!! Give us a career defining, bar-raising performance!! Fight somebody for real this time and really add some weight to your legacy!! The same way that Manny should agree to any testing regimen to clear his name, Floyd should fight a series of legit threats to clear HIS name!! He owes us, the fans, that!!


Cmon Floyd...GIVE IT UP!!! We know you got it in you. We just wanna' SEE IT!!

to fight malignaggi? Remember this is the same guy who retired when cotto was at the top, stayed retired when marg got through with him, stayed retired after mosley's big win. And when floyd did come back, it was the same nonsense about mosley either not being a draw or jmm being a tune-up.

floyd sr., floyd jr., haymon, ellerbe or roger has never mentioned paulie as an option. Cotto and arum were never serious about offering floyd a fight..and they never did. There was no contracts and no serious fight talks. Floyd said "i'd love to fight miguel cotto". Floyd dint want to work with arum.

Floyd was retired when marg beat cotto.....and when mosley beat margfloyd said he was staying away for 2 years. He fought a tune up because he took 2 years off. Why would he roll out of bed and fight the number 1 ranked ww...he fought jmm to shake off 21 months of ring rust.


when does he lose the benefit of the doubt? Did he lose it when he retired? Remember he was supposed to fight oscar in a rematch before that.

no one with a sense of boxing knowledge wanted to see a oscar re-match.....

the big thing with floyd before he retired was the fact that he hadn't faced an elite welterweight. He fights at welterweight, he called himself the lineal champion, yet he has yet to face an elite natural welterweight. If and when he faces paulie, that will still ring true.

isnt he trying to fight thee elite ww and p4p number 1 fighter in the world???....manny pac?

does the money excuse matter now? Paulie is not the draw that mosley, cotto, even margarito is (in la or vegas at least). There is no way he brings more money than the names mentioned.

if floyd and pac are fighting in march it will be light touches so nothing goes wrong for a show down with pac and floyd. Foreman isnt a draw either.

does the win/loss excuse matter? Paulie was beaten up by cotto and humiliated by hatton already.can he call it a tune-up? Maybe if he were planning on making an appearence on the jersey shore it'd be a tune-up for something. As for a tune-up for a bigger fight? Been there done that with marquez.

this post right here is bull****...pac/roiach and arum are all on record saying they weant to fight paulie..what is paulie to pac?

so if this fight doesn't get made and manny goes on to face yet another difficult task in yuri foreman (laugh all you want, foreman is a natural boxer and a lot longer than pac, he has the style to give him fits), while floyd fights paulie, will you give him the benefit of the doubt, or will it just be another weak mayweather excuse?

foreman is a ****ing bum. Hes the weakest 154 pound champion..pac chose him over martinez, spinks and dzindiruk. Floyd and his team never mentioned paulie....where was you when pac was being mentioned to fight paulie???

read the bolded.

Manny fighting Paulie is a joke as well. it's actually an even bigger joke because he has more options that Floyd. JMM/Mosley/Berto/Foreman even Valero are all better options and reasonable options for Manny.

I know the Money/Malignaggi fight is still hearsay at this point. I did read on ESPN that they were exploring the fight.

Attempting to fight a guy doesn't count as fighting him....

Foreman is not a bum. He just easily beat a solid title holder in Santos. Pacquiao belongs nowhere near 154 anyway so fighting there is a huge jump in itself. It is still, to me, a reasonably risky fight, while Malignaggi is a walk in the park.

Foreman and Paulie will be walks in the park.
