A big problem now is the alphabet soup of belts that hold fighters hostage and create undesirable match-ups. News flash!!!!! He thinks he can beat anybody. Isnt that the mark of a champion? Im seeing a much bigger picture and the steps he is taking for himself will spread to other fighters and allow them to control their own in the future.
    He does ponder over losing, thats why he's ducked so many fighters and keeps going on about being undefeated.

    News Flash!!!!! He doesnt think he can beat anybody. You watch too much 24/7. If he did he would have fought them all by now, not duck, retire, wait till their old, fight smaller guys.

    Like Dan Rafael said after 6 years being WW champ it's about time he faced a top contender in his weight class.

        he’s the most talented fighter of our era what’s a belt got to do with anything you guys need to stop searching for different things to hate on Floyd for im not a fan of how he conducts himself out of the ring but if you don’t admire his undoubted talent there is something wrong with you you must be blinded by hate. As for the blood tests and what not I think they should have been introduced a while back cleaner sport equals a better sport

He only wants to pick and choose who he thinks he can beat - this is not the mentality of real champion.

          Floyd Mayweather is a *****hole.
          dont get me wrong here because i think he should atleast fight for the belt just for the sake of winning the belt if he wins the fight but i dont really think his mandatory wba defense would be a fight anybody is going to get excited about. if mayweather was fighting anybody in the wba top 10 right now he would be taking heat over it for not taking a dangerous fight. im not really trying to stick up for floyd on this but just look at their rankings, their might be some up and comers but i think floyd is on another level.

            i gotta say, floyd not fighting for belts serves 2 purposes. he doesn't have to pay sanctioning fees and he doesn't have to fight the mandos.

            hopefully floyd don't cherry pick anymore

              Well if thats true.....(sigh) and thats a big if then he is successfully doopin the whole world and winnin in the process. Somewhere somebody thinks he is the truth in boxing. You just have a strange chip on your shoulder for a guy who dont give a **** about your silly theory that Floyd retired to hide. If he was waitin for somebody to get old then he coulda waited another year to make it look good and it would have still had the same buzz. You gotta do better man. You sound like you are repeating somin you heard not facts.

                Why do you guys think Floyd would have to fight a mandatory? You realize we're talking about the corrupt ass commissions here, right? They don't want 3% of say Mayweather/Zaveck, they want 3% of Mayweather/Pacquiao or whatever other fight that's gonna generate the most cash. Again, I don't blame any high profile fighter for not surrendering 3% of his purse for a belt that means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

                  So Floyd fights a legit opponent the next angle people are attacking him on is the fact that he doesn't want his opponents belt to be on the line.

                  Get the **** outa here.
