Floyd Mayweather Jr. Avoids The Best Fighters

[Everywhere]

Don't forget how ducked Floyd was coming up...Prince blatantly ducked him, and Casamoyer did the same...so while people accuse Floyd of ducking southpaws, in reality it was the southpaws ducking the hell outta him.

[WESS]

Barely.....

Just like Pac barely beat JMM... makes no difference he still won and at WW. It's not like it was hard for him to make it either.

Bottom line was, the Mayweather Hatton fight was a huge demand and was a great great fight and match up.

However, after Mayweather sent hatton on a date with that slut of a ring post, Ricky was never the same. His fans where never the same and even his long time trainer and team was never the same, Ricky fired them.

With his fans being homeless, it was hard times and it was just sad especially after Ricky openly admitted to crying for weeks on end as he knew he was done and beaten. Yet he still had hope, and relied on Mayweather Sr to teach him how to box just like Floyd Jr.... At that point, everyone knew that slutty ring post really did a number on him.

That ring post had no right....

yeh rite cool story brother lol

Ok...So lets look at it this way.

Was Pacquiao testing himself when he fought the SAME Ricky Hatton that Mayweather fought? Only not undefeated

Was Pacquiao testing himself when he fought the SAME Delahoya that Mayweather fought? Only Drained

Was Pacquiao testing himself when he fought the SAME Shane Mosley that Mayweather fought? Only OLDER and drained

See all of this would normally be ok, but when you are trying to stick up for 1 boxer, but the other boxer fights his leftovers it's kinda hard.

If Mayweather is a CHERRY PICKER...than Pac must be a SUPER cherry picker.

Was Pacquiao testing himself when fought the SAME 144lb Juan Manuel Marquez that Mayweather fought? Only OLDER

Pacquiao is a super duper cherry picker

[Everywhere]

yeh rite cool story brother lol

Steward didn't want to let Naseem anywhere near Floyd. Fact story bro.

Pretty old argument but cool

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

*Hatton fought only once before Floyd and he struggled thats why he goes back to 140 where he is destroying his opponents.

*pac make him look passed... while before the fight, they did not see that thats why dela hoya is the huge favorite?

*Mosely crushed margrito but was almost 2 years off in the ring..?

*Margarito and Cotto still active and Floyd still ducking them especially Margarito! Everytime Floyd see Margarito, he always pee to his pant! lol! Cotto is too far away!

Duck is a duck... not matter how floyd's fans want to defend it! lol

he showed up to berto-ortiz thinking berto would be the winner and that he would be a good comeback opponent

the better man (ortiz) won and floyd knocked him out

i dont think he's avoiding pacquiao. i think he's a businessman. risk against reward.
i think for a period of time both parties were guilty of stalling. after all, the originial dollar amount used to be 25-30 million a piece.
and it's now up to a 50/50 split of over 100 million dollars, and in the meantime they can fight and get paid extra for it because of the publicity of the fight that's not happening.

i dont think floyd would have a hard time winning a decision against pacquiao. i think he whoops him. i think the only way manny wins is via robbery.

floyd did duck margarito when tony was a darkhorse and a complete monster at 147. likewise with cotto. i still think he beats both (unless tony had some super plaster in there)
the legend is built on an offer that may or may have actually existed for floyd to get paid 8 million to fight margarito.
this was before floyd was a megastar, and that would have been a sizable payday.

Why you bringing up Pacquiao like I care? I stopped reading your post after that line. This threads about Floyd and him not fighting a host of fighters. It's not about Floyd-Manny

****, i'm not even sure Pacquiao would beat Floyd in the ring

What makes you think he would have fought Berto if he won? I don't think that was ever in the cards...IMO he just showed up to the fight and other people read all into it.

Not saying he would have ducked Berto...But, Berto is an Al Haymon fighter. And, going by that I doubt that fight would have ever been made even if Berton won.

However, when Ortiz won that's when he found the perfect opponent and credit to him.

I don't think Floyd or any Al Haymon fighter will fight a fellow Haymon ever.
