Will floyd back out or be a man and stand up?

youre missing the point. You said MOST experts favored mosley. It turns out "MOST" to you is maybe 5? 4? by process of eliminiation its possibly 3. Also, still ignoring the fact that the odds makers had floyd up at least 4 to 1.

If you look at it objectively without any biasism involved, youd come to teh conclusion that floyd was heavily favored.

Floyd was heavily favored for sure. More "experts" picked Hatton, dela, and almost every other fighter.

The oddsmakers are trying to bring in even money for the house. I'm not ignoring them. Please see my post just before yours. I checked my favorite sights and you were correct!

wow, even more than hatton. I think I gave hatton more of a chance probably more than mosley now that i think about it.

His team have agreed the terms including testing which means everything he wanted has been given a thumbs up by manny, its clear to everyone manny wants the fight but what about floyd?

The way i look at it, what else is Floyd going to do?

[tacoboxer]

Floyd facing someone who, once upon a time, could have posed a challenge. Not when Mosley was close to 40 though.

Then why did Freddie Roach say to Shane when he came to the Wild Card Gym that Pac wouldn't fight Shane at 147... because there wasnt enough money and shane was too good? (see quotes 7minutes into video)

Im all for you pulling for your guy but you cant have it both ways......

On record...Freddie passed on Mosely as a Pac opponent because he was too much for Pac at 147...(by the way Mayweather did just fine financially fighting Mosley)

So who is right you or Freddie Roach?

Seems to me that Freddie knows a little more about boxing than all of us combined!

Its just as annoying to hear you and other fans constant say this sort of remarks over the last 6 years:

He doesn't want the fight. Every other boxer out there would relish the chance to prove to the world he can beat Pac, but not Floyd. He just can't be troubled. He must first go over his options between the semi-retired, geriatrics, and no-chance-in-hell challengers.

Do you really think he doesnt want the fight? You really think he's scared? You really think he doesnt want to make the biggest money he can make in one fight? You really think a boxer at this level are scared of each other? Really?

So many of "us fans" feel this way. I suppose it's not by Floyd's own doing, and just our own right? "Us" fans, with expectations too high, and understanding too low...

Get real. Floyd's always finds a way to justify himself. He's not kidding anyone.

[S.G.]

We don't know if that's actually the case. I suspect it's just Arum putting some public pressure on Floyd to cave to his demands. If they have really resolved both the purse and testing issues though then I expect Floyd to sign in due time (you know he will make everyone sweat before he signs just because he can).

[norrin]

wrong, tahts not the case at all. Everyone knows Manny vs Floyd is the biggest fight that can be made in teh past decade, and probably the next. You bring up shane mosley as if anyone cared.


whyre you downplaying the signifigance of floyd and manny fighting each other? I have no idea

Yeah, it is going to be a big fight but I actually think it will be boring. I don't think PAC is going to be that big of a challenge for Mayweather. I thought Mosely was the most dangerous opponent for Mayweather not PAC.

if you are a true boxing fan you wouldnt even listen or believe a word arum says.
id be more confident if gbp confirmed this..meaning shaefer not that joke oscar.

I think too many of you follow the same narrative becasue you don't like floyd. You are not required to like him. But when you act like floyd fought all bums and then HBO rewarded him with $20 mil then you deserve to be called on it.

Yes floyd does have a way of making it about him. Is that his fault if the media and casual fans pay attention?
