Originally posted by Deevel916 View PostIts funny how the Floyboys try to change Floyd's interpretation of "self preservation". Its clear as day what he was referring to. He clearly used it in reference to what Floyd claimed Ali is now going thru do to him being forced into fights that the fans and not he wanted, therefore using that as an example of the entire world calling for a showdown between him and Pacquiao. "Self preservation" means just that. Preserving thyself.
self-pres·er·va·tion (slfprzr-vshn)
n.
1. Protection of oneself from harm or destruction.
2. The instinct for individual preservation; the innate desire to stay alive

what has leonard and hearns got to do with mayweather? nothing.
i have not mischaracterized anything. i dont need anything to "fit my opinion"
making things up!!!!!!!!! have you even watched that interview???????????????
pac fought mosley at nearley 40 also (after he lost and then looked terrible against mora), fought marg after he was suspended for a year for allegedly cheating then comes back n beats a guy who isnt even on wikipedia and gets a liscence from bob arum to fight pac for a championship???... he beat cotto which was somewhat legit but at a catchweight...Last edited by jtiger777; 03-12-2012, 12:40 PM.

The statement was a silly way to justify his desire for getting a larger purse split. Your interpretation is just as ridiculous IMO.

and i think you will find cotto was rated the number 1 welterweight when mayweather "retired". then margarito was rated the number 1 welterweight when he beat kneeguel.
and thats a cracking excuse that is, i cant fight you because i dont like your promoter!
