At first i would say that Manny was the one who was preventing the fight by not taking tests but we all could see now that Floyd just dont want no part of Manny and will even go as far as to stop fighting all together to avoid him. Whatever happend to Floyd's hitlist? As we can see from 2 examples when Floyd is backed into a corner and the public demands he fights someone who at the time is considered a major risk dude goes on vacation or retires.
    If arum was about money we would have had the Floyd fight in march. It was arum who f-ck that up. He even lied about what was going on in the nego. even when they had a second party to try to bring the fight together.

    And if you believe bob wanted to make the fight in nov you are a fool. Bob wanted Marg/PAC. I won't just blame bob tho. Floyd should have spoken up. If he knew they didn't agree to what he wanted he should have said something. Not wait until after the fact.

    With that said I did want to see the Cotto fight. That would be the only fight I would have loved to have seen. **** I would still like to see it even now.

      I dont know the details of the negotiations but i do know that Greenburgh from HBO has said that the Mayweather camp wasnt truthful and there was negotations. The fact that Mayweather even demanded testing in the first place is kind of suspect because in reality Pac never failed any tests and the only thing he did was look too good against Cotto. Im not going to get into this debate because it has been done to death on this site but i think we can just agree to disagree.

        Same with Clottey and Mosley.

        Floyd has been at 147 for 6 years and only fought Baldomir. No wonder Floyd ducks Pacquiao since he's been doing this before with Cotto and Margarito..

        Floyd vs Cotto never happened
        Floyd vs Margarito never happened
        Floyd vs Pacquiao will never ever HAPPENED

        Pacquiao vs any fighters out there will happen but not Floyd because of his continuous ducking and vacation
        cause wifebeater is a cherrypicker and ducker.

            Cotto, Margarito, ODLH, and even Hatton were all coming off a win. Mosley is off a draw if that counts, LoL...

                been saying that. Pac-mosley-cotto-margarito-clottey almost all fought each other now. Floyd only has fought Mosley after 5 years at WW. pathetic.

                  The four kings, SRL, Duran, Hagler, Hearns.

                  The four kings, Pac, Cotto, SSM, Margarito

                  Dont think FLoyd has any kind of legacy.

                      The problem is Floyd's travel agent, he keeps on booking him on year or two year vacations, which makes very hard to negotiate fights.
