Floyd says Self Preservation comes FIRST

[Spoon23]

self preservation after a hall of fame career>>>>>>haters sitting on a damn computer hating....

What you floyd lovers should do is push him to fight the fights that will define his career. The fight that matters. Don't be a kissass and follow everything he tells you to. You should be enraged as a fan for showing you guys he ain't after the glory of the sport. He has a chance for greatness but he doesn't want to prove it. Aren't you frustrated that he keeps on harping he is the greatest, but he doesn't prove it to you guys. His loyal fanboys. I say you guys go on strike and push him to give you the fights you guys want.

Sergio and Pacman should be next, if he puusies of again. I suggest you fanboys should tell him to retire completely. This is not wwe were he can entertain through fake fights. We fans want the real fights. The best fight the best.The nba finals. Anyway. Hope you get the picture kid.

"self-preservation" is Floyd-speak for avoiding heavy hitters who have a solid chance of beating him, ie. Manny Pacquiao

that was short and concise.

[Spoon23]

I'd say that self preservation is almost the opposite of boxing.

Preservation shouldn't belong in the mind set of a boxer.

Larry is going in on yall....its easy to talk that ***** on the sideline. It's not that he avoids "heavy shelters"...the style in which he fights that makes it hard for guys to hit him is self preservation. While other guys ride off into the sunset broke and with health issues, Floyd wants to ride off rich and able to hoop, party and run around with his kids with no problems...if that's bad then I say F*#K IT...LET IT BE BAD!! Just because a guy chooses a dangerous profession doesn't mean he has to accept the horrible physical fate that many others have lol for the sake of whatever glory u guys want to give him. All people do is ***** on fighters anyway so why not do it the way u wanna do it and laugh all the way to the bank??

And I guess you should do Floyd a favor and tell him straight up he should retire. He has no business in the ring if he is for self preservation. Fighters who go in the ring every time is prone to dying. they risk their life every time they enter it.

warriors are supposed to live for the moment, not for their retirement

********s: floyd said Floyd said Floyd said Floyd said..... Then in the same topic a ******** says Floyd lies, or says it doesn't matter what Floyd says...

Yet this thread starts out with but but but but "Floyd says"... lol you ********s hate life with a passion..

Why does Floyd run you're lives... I mean I've been to the Philippines so I actually understand why, but really come on fanboys... your time is VERY limited, at least go out with dignity...

Also, why hasn't this thread been deleted? Isn't this like the 10th thread where a ******** has said the same exact thing? Its not even fair to Pac to have so many threads about Floyd...

Case in point of a whining floomo tard who can't defend his boy with a legitimate excuse. Geez how sad to be a floomo nowadays. No bullets to fire back, just whining and whining hehe!

[Spoon23]

Just when i think pac-tards can't get any ******er, they prove me wrong yet again. If any man on this forum can actually claim that they live their life without the preservation of themselves and their family in mind at all times is talking out of their *******.

Let me guess, mayweather should care about his no. 1 status more then his own wellbeing and the wellbeing of his family, explain that mother****er to me please.

Hey kid read this article so you can understand how much of a sissy girl your idol is. This comes from an unbiased writer.. Btw, I ******** and a fllommo means their Idol has to win all their fights. I'm neither. I'm a guy who wants to see these 2 fight. I don't even care who wins. That my friend makes me a rational boxing fan

Read below and understand. Hope it's not too simple enough for you hehe

Read this article from a writer might help you understand how much of a sissy your girl your boxer is. From an unbiased writer.

MAYWEATHER-PACQUIAO: WHO IS REALLY AT FAULT?
By John McCormick

Hint: take a look to the left

Being a loyal fan of any sport isn’t always easy. It sometimes seems natural for a fan to become apathetic when their favorite team is having a burdensome losing streak or athletes are caught using performance enhancing drugs or in some other type of scandal. However, most sports have a light at the end of the tunnel. Baseball has The World Series; The NBA has its finals, the NHL has the Stanley Cup, and so forth.

In a basketball fan’s mind there is no doubt who is the best team in the league at the end of the season. Why? Because the best have played the best. One would have to think that would be the objective in sports in the first place and in most sports it very well may be. Boxing however, is a completely different story as the word “legacy” seems to be a meaningless, empty word that has taken a back seat to the almighty green piece of paper.

Ever since Manny Pacquiao’s brilliant annihilation of Miguel Cotto in November 2009, the demand for a mega-fight with Floyd Mayweather has been in high demand. Unfortunately, the demand hasn’t been met with supply. The first round of negotiations failed due to Mayweather’s drug testing demands. Several members of Mayweather’s camp claimed that Pacquiao’s accomplishments seemed unnatural and impossible for a clean athlete. Floyd stated that he wanted OSDT (Olympic Style Drug Testing) to be implemented throughout both fighters training camps. Team Pacquiao refused to do the testing, initially claiming that Manny was superstitious about blood testing so close to fight time. They also cited blood testing as a main reason for Pacquiao’s 2005 unanimous decision loss to Erik Morales. Eventually Pacquiao relented to most of Mayweather's testing demands, but that was not enough. The result was both fighters headed down different routes with Pacquiao fighting Joshua Clottey, and Mayweather facing off against Shane Mosley.

Although many blamed Mayweather for the first round of negotiation failure, hindsight is nearly always 20/20; Pacquiao, or at least the people calling the shots for Pacquiao, seems to be at fault for this fight not happening in early 2010. Nearly two years later, Team Pacquiao claims that OSTD is not an issue and they will agree to all terms of drug testing but they must be met with a 50/50 split of the fight’s revenue. Why was drug testing a major issue two years ago and now it is not? On the same hand, in early 2010 Mayweather and Pacquiao both had agreed to a 50/50 split with the OSTD being the main reason for the fight not happening. Now two years later, the 50/50 split seems to be the problem with the OSTD falling into the shadows.

I refuse to chronicle the dramatic tale of the failed Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiations in between early 2010 and now so let’s fast forward to the present. From an unbiased eye, it would seem as if Manny Pacquiao and Bob Arum were to blame up until now. That no longer seems to be the case. In January, Mayweather placed a call directly to Pacquiao in the Philippines. During that conversation, Mayweather offered Pacquiao $40 million, while Pacquiao demanded a 50/50 split. The conversation ended, and subsequently so did the brief spark of life to the ongoing negotiations. Pacquiao went on to choose Timothy Bradley as his next opponent, whereas Mayweather chose Miguel Cotto.

Sometimes in life, the things you are looking for are clearly in your vision. You just have to seek them out. While at the Apollo Theater for the Mayweather-Cotto NYC press tour stop, the answer to who was to blame for the mega fight not happening became evident to me. It is Mayweather. During his time at the podium, Mayweather claimed “Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter but he should take the test.” Yes, Mayweather pulled the good old, “take the test” trick out of his hat, a trick that never seems to fail the media or the fans. It seems as if Floyd has an arduous time keeping up with what excuse he is currently using for the fight with Manny not happening. The week prior to Mayweather saying this, Pacquiao told multiple boxing writers, including myself that OSTD wasn’t an issue and that the fight with Mayweather fell apart due to Floyd denying him a 50/50 split in revenue. According to both men, the fight isn’t happening on May 5th because they couldn’t come to an agreement on money, not drug testing. Yet, Floyd still disingenuously claims Manny should “take the test”. Mayweather then went on to claim that Pacquiao would never get a 50/50 split. “Nobody will” he claimed. What a tangled web we weave, when at first we plan to deceive.

If you are a boxing purist, it would be nearly impossible to not be a fan of Floyd Mayweather. In the ring he is brilliant. For two years now, I have defended him and took his side, telling others that he would easily beat Pacquiao, and I still believe he would. But, obviously we will never know due to the internal insecurities that Floyd has. All of the calling out via Twitter didn’t happen in 2009 after Pacquiao destroyed Miguel Cotto. It happened after Manny nearly lost a close decision to Juan Manuel Marquez last November. Floyd Mayweather is a coward. The sad thing is that he has no reason to be afraid, as he has all the tools to clearly beat Manny Pacquiao. Instead, he will tell Pacquiao to “take the test”, while Manny has already agreed to do so. You can blame Bob Arum, You can blame Manny Pacquiao, and you can blame whomever you want to blame.

The real blame should rest directly on the shoulders of Floyd Mayweather. It is evident in his actions that he doesn’t care about his legacy or his fans. He refuses to fight fighters’ in their prime, when the demand is in. Floyd is a business man first, Manny is a fighter first. Perhaps, that is the reason why Pacquiao was named “Fighter of the decade” and Mayweather wasn’t. Fight fans should take a look at Mayweather’s inconsistencies, which far outweigh those of Bob Arum, and blame him for the mega fight not happening. After all, it is not like he cares what the fans think of him anyway.

----you just can't accept that your boy is at fault for being a puuussy.

no glory in being handicapped for the rest of your life.all you who claim they are so great wont give them a damn dime for their hospital expenses...so who gives a damn what you think??

[josenoway]

That is the single dumbest thing I've read in a long time.

Preservation shouldn't belong in the mind set of a boxer.

[SixFootGiant]

Honestly if I was a fighter only 3 things would matter to me

-Winning
-Being healthy
-Cashing checks

F**k everything else. Boxing is a 1 man sport, look out for yourself first and foremost damn what another ni**a gotta say or think.

[eklok]
