Mayweather Has Made A Huge Mistake

[Reloaded]

This is a huge mistake on his part. Huge in terms of his legacy and it's all his and Arum's fault.

If Pacquiao shows any vulnerability against Margarito, he will get no credit before or after facing and beating Pacquiao. People will say he was already slipping and that's the only reason he fought him, etc. He better hope Pacquiao looks as invincible as he has in his last few fights.

Good thing he doesn't fight for legacy though.

Its a calculated risk by Floyd , every time Manny fights its a risk , if Manny gets beat Floyd lost the chance but Floyd knows Arum is going to keep him winning , Manny keeps winning and Floyd beats him you watch what that erases in Mannys legacy and it what it does for Floyds you will be suprised , it aint over till the fat lady sings boys , Floyd will come out on top before its all over you wait and see

It wouldn't matter either way. Floyd just fought Shane Mosley 4 months ago, becoming The WW champ and today is called a coward. Floyd beats Pac and Martinez and it still won't matter. He'll get his praise 20 yrs from now, no time sooner. The posters in this thread were the exact same people that said Floyd wouldn't fight Shane. IRONY.

20 years from now people will say floyd ducked pac

It will... unless the winner of Cotto-Chavez Jr. wins impressively. Another lucrative, 'safe' Top Rank opponent opens up for Pacquiao. If Jr. win it's the best case scenario for Arum.

Arum is the key, he actually has to want to make the fight for it to get done.

Why'd Arum step aside and let Duboef negotiate the Pavlik-Williams fight? Because he wanted to make the fight, but knew he couldn't negotiate with Al Haymon without blowing a gasket.

Why wouldn't he do that for an even bigger fight in Pacquiao-Mayweather?

give it up. floyd don't want nothing to do with pac. he's shook. the whole mayweather fam is shook.

what does it matter? for every floyd victory there's a hundred excuses as
to why he won....

maybe if floyd didn't do so much ducking and dodging boxers that the fans want him to fight he wouldn't get so much criticism.

Like Floyd says if it dont make dollas it dont make sense. Im just wondering if Margarito wins what Floyd will do...obviously try to fight Pac, kinda like when Zab lost to Baldomir who does he fight...Zab

Pac needs to be a shot fighter in order for him to be accepted by floyd, floyd said this is not the right time for the fight to happen because pac was still in his prime.

floyd wants pac to lose. that way he doesn't have to fight pac. why? cause floyd always win fantasy fights. floyd will say "I don't have to fight him, I'd beat him anyways." and *****s will swallow and regurgitate it.

Basically. If Floyd beats Pac, he would had just beat an ex flyweight, and is ducking Mike Jones. Pac beating a 5'11" Marg in any way would actually make a Floyd win over Pac better IMO, as it dampens the "Pac was too small for Floyd" that would inevitably come if Pac lost.

Boy got shook what can you say

[AKATheMack]

If Margarito wins how does Floyd look? That will be the second time Margarito dispatched of Floyds perceived biggest threat. An undefeated Miguel Cotto and this version of Pac would have been the 2 biggest names on Floyds resume and Margo has the opportunity to claim both.

People hate Floyd so it doesnt matter if Pac beat King Kong, Floyd's gonna get criticized either way. Some have already said Manny is too small, Manny himself said Floyd is too big. When Floyd beats him, you will hear alot how Manny started at 108.

Couple of problems with this logic

1.Mayweather is older than Pacquiao so if he beats Pac the past his prime excuse wont work because Pac would have been younger. Plus Mayweather is past his prime.

2. Mayweather is a Part Time fighter

3. Mayweather is all ready ATG.
