this is a hell of a post man, mad props...

secondly, people say pac is losing because he is making less without floyd.

well apparently it means more to him to make less than to give floyd the satisfaction of dictating and impressing unheardof rules upon him....


having said that, i still cannot figure out why pac just didnt take the test and get his chance to whoop on floyd...

I mean, I understand why he didn't do it. He knows May just cares about money. Would you give someone who slandered your name and legacy an opportunity to make a career high payday when all they care about is money anyway? I think the only reason are so su****ious of Pac walking away is because there was a lot of money on the table. But if they both stood to only make $500,000 would people still feel the same if he walked away? My opinion is no. Which is why they bring up the money when questioning his reasons for walking away. Many people forget that Mayweather walked away from the de la Hoya rematch because he couldn't get the bigger split even though he won, but that still would've been a record payday for him even though he would've gotten the smaller split. So who was disrespected more in their respective negotiation process: 1) Mayweather in the de la Hoya rematch, or 2) Pac in the Mayweather fight?

In that case how do you like your crow? lol

No ebeef here my dude I do the man thing when I need to but when you call me a groupie I gotta respond to that. If legacy wasn't important Floyd wouldnt be Floyd so that's clearly all slick talk. You have to be a special MF to be a pro boxer and a 5 division champ gotta have love for the game. We're fans because to us it's what he does in the ring and not his mouth but at the same time Floyd (unlike Manny) is helping dudes see their biggest paydays. Try telling a broke ass former champion it doesn't matter and he'll be ready to fight you. I overlook dudes ignorance and look at his professionalism. He is the perfect role model of the sweet science inside the ring. Aint nobody on his **** no more than they were on Jordan's, Ali's or any other great champion. We know Floyd aint the most articulate dude in the world but he aint 40-0 for nothing that's why we're hear having this discussion.

You keep bringing up money. Who cares. These boxers will be making more money than I will after I graduate from college and get a job. If he was helping some poor downtrodden kid go to college by sponsoring scholarships, I would give him kudos. You forget, boxing is their job. Some people do the 9 to 5 thing, these folks chose to box. I don't feel sorry for them when they end up broke anymore than I feel sorry for some 9 to 5er who blew their money wrecklessly and now their screwed. I don't feel sorry for people who have money and end up broke. It's shameful and disgraceful for someone like Tyson to have made around $400 million and be completely broke now. Those kind of people get no love from me, because they didn't handle their responsibilities. Money isn't hard to understand. If you spend more than you make, you end up broke. Easy as ABC, 123. Calzaghe retired undefeated. So what? Who's on his resume? Names are what make up legacies. Right now, Floyd doesn't have enough of them. When your best win since way back when is Carlos Baldomir and you're clamoring about how great you are, you deserve to get ethered. I don't care about belts because I know the politics and the ******ity of those organizations.

no i agree, completly.

at first i thought what is pac hiding.

see floyd is all about the money, no matter what, money first.

pac has enough money and is fighting for competition and passion.

i can understand your point, why give mayweather a payday, think about it

pac and mayweather are polar opposites...pac is humble, spiritual and respectful

floyd is a bigmouth, disrespectful and dont care about nothing but himself

Money only magnifies what you are and that aint gonna change if your a f'd up individual unless you wise up. I think Floyd came back to make money but also to add to his legacy cause contrary to what people think he didn't have to fight Shane but I know Shane was part of his comeback plan. Unlike Calzaghe Floyd is back with a vengeance which is clearly evident with him fighting Shane. You think Baldo was Floyd's best win? LOL. Your more of a hater than I am a fan my dude. Floyd is fighting Shane!!!!! How can anyone hate on that. Manny wanted no part of Shane!!! No matter what nobody says Marquez in his 1st fight back then Shane is a very good look especially if it's about names and resumes like you said. Another reason Manny is suspect is Freddy just said on Road To Dallas that Manny is a light-wt who has to continuously eat to maintain welter-wt. So what he's really saying is a light-wt is knocking out natural welter-wts. Something is seriously wrong with that picture that is why Floyd is absolutely right for demanding random testing.

Let's not get crazy May is fighting moses cause it was the biggest money fight out there and the meadia and public demaned it.Pac took on clottey who is a good welterweight and the names being toss around for may next fight was less then exciting.Name me one fighter he would be in this same postion with?

[Cash Cow]

ODH is right. Its the jab, but not any old jab a good strong authoritative up-jab. I just posted this for my potna Rome who asked me this very same question. It's alot of reading but here it go if ya'll wanna read it. Feedback is more than welcome as long as it aint that name calling mess ie. Gayweather, *****, *******, Roidhead. I dont get down with that ****.

The key to beating the Floyd we know now, is a fast strong up-jab, behind a tight guard from the southpaw stance. You also cant be scared to hook off the jab. Floyd has a few different gears he uses in the ring depending on his opponent in regards to the use of his jab(when he uses it)

LMAO..that was funny..

what southpaw with a strong jab has even came close to beating floyd?

as a matter of fact, what fighter with a STRONG JAB has come close to beating Floyd?

Damn man you just made my night with that
