Comments Thread For: Larry Merchant on Floyd Mayweather, History and Legacy

[waxfondler]

We have went over this a million times. Floyd called out mosley after the ndou fight. Does shane's tooth being loose ring a bell. How long have you been watching boxing?

dude, there will be no end to the "who called out who" debate... so you say floyd called out shane in late 2003 after n'dou???? youre telling me shane ducked floyd to go on to fight winky wright in early 2004???? lol. he dodged fighting a smaller floyd to fight a bigger and more dangerous winky??? please....

if shane initially ducked floyd, floyd continued to duck shane.... based off of "not a PPV draw", "already has losses", "i already called him out"... anything floyd says, floyd boys jump on it and repeat... do you guys also believe floyd gave oscar his biggest payday??? cuz thats what floyd claims. LOL. last time i checked, floyd was nameless before oscar and got the poor man's cut of the money.... dude, and floyd ultimately fought shane anyway... either way, you guys could keep looking up youtube snippets if you like.... beating a dead horse, fight is finished.... on to the next one.

My view will be if this fight don't go off it will be that of May did not want it.Making Mosley take the test is one thing Mosley admitted to using PEDS before.Manny never was suspected or accused of being on anything so were did this Manny being on Peds come from?I like both these fighters but truth be told I don't believe Manny is on anything and if I was him I would not take the test.Having said that I hope he takes the test so we can All see history.There is no fight bigger or better then Pac vs May IMHO.But i have to agree with The Legend Merchant if the fight don't go off it will be look at as May's fault.

oh he is suspected, please believe it. Now a bunch people are looking at him with skepticism. If manny don't take the test, he is a cheater and fraud. He don't want nothing to do with the Money man aka "dragon"

******* means your in love with Pac, but i didnt hear his name once in the article...

And to actually say Mosley ducked Floyd is one of the ******iest things ive ever heard.....EVERY single person including you knows Shane had been calling Floyd out for like 5-6 years during his Prime. If you didnt know that then you just started following boxing.

Its funny how a guy whos been in boxing for 50 years tells the truth about your fighter and you get real defensive

Get off Merchant's **** for a second. Its funny how several fighters have told Larry he doesn't know what he's talking about. Lennox, George and RJJ. Emanuel Stewert and Jim Lampley are always wondering what the **** Larry is talking about. Just because you've been around boxing for 50 years does not make you a know all or your thoughts any more relevant than those of us that have watched it since we were 5 or 6 years old. ?You assume what he said was the truth just because you agreed with it? Just because people perceive something to be a certain way does not mean that is the way it actually is. One could argue that because I boxed for 4 years in the military that I know more about boxing than Larry because he never laced up the gloves. I would love to see the Floyd-Pac just as much as the next fan. I feel that if Pac and Roach thinks Floyd does not want the fight and is using the blood test as an excuse, if they really wanted it they would call his bluff. Why are they hesitant if they have nothing to hide?

Come-on man why is he suspect because May said so?You have to be real I like both fighters and my favorite fighter is Mosley I have no stake in either guy.but I'm not gonna say Manny is dirty just because he does not wanna bend to May's demand's.They are both draws they are both superstars.No one should have to bend 50/50 split lets get this thing on.

How about those?

lol....1 of those is Klitschko. in everyone those videos, Floyd was already scheduled to fight oscar or JMM. before oscar, Shane had a chance to get his fight and Mosley said I'ma go get my tooth fix and go on vacation. But yet Floyd ducked Shane!

[Miburo]

He's wrong about Mosley - Mayweather was calling him out constantly when he was in his prime, so how can you blame him for snubbing Mosley in return years later.

Because it's giving May a mental edge in the fight.And just like SRL vs Hagler mental edge could be the difference between winning and losing.

Your sig basically somes up this whole subject for me - maywesthers detractors don't like his personality, so they can't accept how good he is. simple as that.

No. Because manny and his team spent 2 months trying to convince us he had good reason to refuse OSDT. Giving every excuse from scared of needles to blood drain and a loss to erik Morales as to reasons why he could not do these test.

I am no fan of Pacquiao...I almost dislike the dude about now. he doesn't deserve 50 - 50, he doesn't deserve any demands. If floyd gives him somethings, then great. But IMO the lil chump can't demand anything!
