[QUOTE=jonesgotti;11965812]Everybody said Floyd was scared of Mosley, especially after Mosley entered the ring and called Floyd out, until Floyd beat his as$. People said the same thing about SRL. He was scared of Hearns until he beat his as$.QUOTE]One problem, THOSE guys fought in their 20's. Pac and Mayweather are in their mid 30's and there is NO sign the fight will happen. No one wants a Senior Tour Nostalgic fight between them!!Last edited by richardt; 04-03-2012, 10:54 AM.Comment

I'm not a Flom0 man, never have been.
I can't stand Floyd haters or Pac haters, or their lover boys. You'd fall into one of those categories though.
My "god"??? How old are you???
Pac and Floyd are both great, but until they fight, and they have to keep winning going into their fight, neither will elevate themselves higher up on the ATG list than they already are. The only way Floyd can is if he fights Sergio Martinez, which I doubt happens.
The problem with people like you, and the bias fans of each guy, is that hardly anyone is OBJECTIVE on here. That's the key to not sounding like a moron.Last edited by 4Corners; 04-03-2012, 10:55 AM.Comment

He is an ATG no question but that dont give him the right to act all hollier than tho when someone puts a mic in his face. Like he didnt help start the PPV movement. His team openly admited to delaying the Hearns fight for a year to let the hype build up. Now hes all Mother Terissa like he dont know the business end of it all. Hypocrites all of them.
The only one whos kept it real the whole time is Floyd. He wanted a blood test then, he wants a blood test now. These other lames keep filling the public with BS for days. Like superstitions, afraid of needles, dont know who to contact from Floyds team, drawing blood makes me weak, building out door stadiums. Yet all the blame goes to Floyd. Its a joke seriously.Comment

Floyd and Manny are BOTH at fault for it not happening yet. If it happens in 2013 and both have kept winning, it'll still mean something. Both are where Leonard and Hagler were in their careers, past their prime-still good, still some of the best in the world. The fight should have happened in March 2010. Manny was at fault for refusing testing for 2+ years, but Floyd is at fault for backing off on the 50/50 split, which they agreed to in 2010. Manny also didn't do himself any favors by saying he'd take less money.
Until they both get their s**t together, hopefully in 2013, I don't give a f**k about the fight. It's unrealistic at this moment in time.Comment

I'd rather see Floyd fight Martinez next and Manny rematch JMM again. This bout has lost alot of its luster.Comment

Leonard turned into a cherry-picker later in his career. But he fought prime, or near-prime versions of Benitez, Duran, Hearns, and also Kalule. He admittedly waited until Hagler slowed down, although Ray himself was a smaller man and also past his prime.
Pryor even admitted after fighting Blackmoore that he turned down half a mil to fight Leonard, by contrast he had made only $50k a few months earlier to beat Pambele for the title.
But that's what happens when you actually bother to watch fights, read stuff, and learn the history of boxing instead of believing the excrement spewed on HBO documentaries when they want to bend the truth for dramatic purposes.
HBO should not make those episodes anymore unless they cut out the
revisionist history which pollute boxing forums with gems like "no one would come close to Pryor" or "Taylor turned into a scrub overnight after Chavez".Last edited by Thread Stealer; 04-03-2012, 11:08 AM.Comment
