What if Floyd Mayweather said.....

[Left Hook Tua]

Using your logic Pac, Cotto and Maragrito call outs of Floyd was BS too right? Considering Arum is a "rival" promoter?

Lets be consistent.

it doesn't matter who calls out who.

you can't fight everyone. sometimes a fight just can't be made.



all one has to do is look at the fighter's resume.

make 1 list of fighters he should have fought but didn't and make 1 list of fighters he should have fought and did.

forget all the politics , propaganda , pr , excuses......

when you make both lists , compare them.

if the guys he fought are better than the ones he didn't , then the guy did his best fighting top opponents.

if the guys he didn't fight are better , then one could say the guy avoided some fights.

[-Kev-]

He didn't fight any of them tho.

What?

From the list he fought DLH, Corrales, Mosley and gave Castillo his rematch. What do you mean he didn't fight any of them?

[Prime 407]

Floyd says a lot of things, he is known to contradict himself over and over so this means nothing.

Thats fine but the thing is I can make a list for just about every fighter. You cant fight everybody I agree.

Some people on here act like this is fight night round 4. This is real life. There are guys every fighter shouldve fought but didnt.

let me explain it to you.

hamed is nonsense. not even worth talking about.

freitas and casamayor are iffy but i give mayweather the benefit of the doubt because i don't think freitas and casamayor and their people really wanted floyd at the time. floyd wasn't big money back then.

plus floyd took on a much better opponent in corrales and moved up to 135 to fight castillo. no knock there.

kostya is not really floyd's fault. by the time he got to 140 kostya was a part time fighter. i think if kostya hadn't beat hatton we would have seen a mayweather fight.

mosley is tricky , when floyd wanted the fight at 135 , mosley already planned on moving up and floyd was still a nobody back then. floyd also wanted a fight later on at 147 but mosley was coming off a loss and didn't want it. at the same time mosley also wanted to fight floyd at different times and floyd turned him down as well. so it goes both ways.

margarito and cotto at 147 is not excusable. period.

they were the top 2 guys in his division. okay to fight delahoya and hatton for big money but to retire when he's done with the big money fights and the 2 top guys are waiting is inexcusable.

i'm not even gonna bother with pac-may. i'll wait 'til next year to judge who is in the wrong in that one.

What?

don't even mention mosley.

that's different.

dlh , corrales and castillo were very good wins though.

[Allucard]

That was the Floyd that put a target on any and every fighter worth a damn, he was taking no prisoners at the time and wanted everybody to enter the ring with him

That Floyd is gone though, he changed a lot ever since his first big money fight against Gatti.....still a very good resume but he could've had an even bigger one

Impossible without some major screw ups in money and unfairness. Like Toney said when promoting his MMA fight: "Boxing has allot of cowards". The cowards aren't Floyd or any other older fighter trying to get the most out of their last years. The real cowards are the guys behind promoters, who are young and able but STILL don't fight the best, who happen to be guys around their own age. Do you see Bradley, Ortiz, Khan, Maidana, Juanma or Alexander, who are all in the hottest division right now, calling out everyone like Floyd did? Those guys have "match ups" fighters who they can beat and others who they will struggle against. Floyd, in his prime, knew NO LIMITS, he could beat everyone, in fact, he couldn't lose a single round. That's the difference. You'll see who has had a better career when those guy who we compare Floyd with, are well in their 30's.

[pasawayako]

I want to fight Kostya Tsyzu.

I want to fight Naseem Hamed.

I want to fight Oscar (Prime).

I want to fight Mosley (prime).

Id love to fight Miguel Cotto.

I'll fight Margarito when its a bigger and better fight.

I have no problems rematching Castillo.

I want to fight Diego Corralles.

I want to fight Popo Freitas.

I want to fight Cassamayor.

Not only do I want to fight Manny, I want to kick his ass.




Oh thats right he did. So lets not act like Floyd is the only reason some of this didnt happen.

That's where floyd is the best, He talk the talk but run from the walk.

[Equilibrium]

Doing something >>>>>>>> Saying you want to do it.

[bojangles1987]

It's easy to say you want to fight someone and kick their ass. When you don't fight any of them saying you want to doesn't mean sh**.

Khan says he wants to kick Maidana's ass, but he isn't fighting him.

Haye said he wants and was going to decapitate the Klitschkos, and he is ducking them at all costs.

A video of Floyd saying he wants to fight a bunch of people is proof of nothing if he never ends up fighting any of them.
