Comments Thread For: Ray Leonard: Mayweather, Pacquiao are Hurting Legacies

[tomhawq]

you know, if people are truly using their brains this ducking thing happens everyday in their lives. when a person is reluctant to do something, he/she would start demanding things unrealistic. if he/she is willing to do it for simple reasons as he/she might enjoy it, he/she will even do it for free.

you don't have to look no farther is what i'm saying. if it looks like a duck, it's a duck. that's the first impression when people heard of this ped issue. of course, at first they kept an open mind with the possibility of the accusations being true. man, three years later, people can't possibly keep their minds open that long. there's simply nothing there. first impressions do last. floyd is still seen as the guy who ducked this fight.

Thats why people loves mexican boxers!

They put their heart and soul to a fight ! and its always about LEGACY first and Money second! CHAVEZ, FINITO LOPEZ, MARQUEZ, DE LA HOYA, NAPOLES, AQUINO,SANCHEZ, ARCE,And i could go on and on about the list ! always crowd pleasers ; gave the boxing fans want the came to watch and never dissapointed Mayweather is a bad ass , no doubt about it ! the best boxing today and he is one of ATG ; but money comes first , and IMO he already made too much and its time to give back ! SO GIVE US BOXING FANS WHAT WE WANT ,AND WE WANT YOU TO FIGHT PAC!

Yes Floyd is a duck too. But why the HELL would Pac say he would take less and then not be willing to do it? He said he would take less, Mayweather offered him less and he declined. Mayweather had no business offering less than 50-50 but Pac baited the offer! Like I said, both are Prima Donna's spoiled by their success and ego.

less can mean 49.009/50.991. floyd is offering something like 80/20. it's a duck move. clear as saran wrap.

again, floyd has spoken. these are all unimportant now. he finally admitted it's all about self-preservation. he's afraid to end up like ali.

ax costas. he'll tell you.

It is true but SRL has many questionable moves in his career as well. He was a also a diva ( similiar to pac/pbf ) in case people forgot. Fighting Hagler 3 yrs after "retirement" ( many already saw a decline in Hagler after the mugabi fight ). Then when called for a rematch, he declined as he needs to take a break. Then just a few weeks after Haglers retirement, announced his next fight. Then, forced Lalonde to a lower weight then have both LHW and SMW belts on the line.

Mad respect for SRL ( I'm also a bigger fan of him than Hagler ) but I think it is a bit hypocritical for him to be speaking against pac/pbf. But kudos to him admitting that Hearns deserve the decision. And even though it is a bit late, he still fought the best out there.

Also, I think, this pac-pbf story is similar to srl-hagler.... 3yrs is just about up. Lolz.

What do you call it when manny turns down a very fair offer over testing for both fighters?

According to Hagler himself; Hagler = Pac and SRL = Floyd Jr.

Really? Last I heard, BOTH camps acknowledged that testing was a non issue.
