Agree! There's a reason Mayweather Won't Fight Manny & Made Cotto Wait 10+ Years

Floyd made Mosley and Cotto wait for more than 10 years; they were too dangerous in the past. Same reason Floyd is avoiding Manny Pacquiao NOW. For more than 3 years, Floyd has had every opportunity to get in the ring with Manny, and the thought of losing his "0" is to great of a risk to take against Pacquiao. Manny offered Floyd 45%/45% split, with the WINNER to get the EXTRA 10% for a grand total split of 55% to the WINNER vs 45% to the loser... and FLOYD MAYWEATHER SAID "NO". That's not a "business decision", that speaks VOLUMES to Floyd's concerns in losing to Manny Pacquiao. So don't tell me what an "All Timer" Floyd Mayweather is. He's gutless. Do you think a Ray Leonard, or a Marvin Hagler, or a Tommy Hearns, or a Roberto Duran, or an Alexis Arguello, or an Aaron Pryor would avoid fighting the best of the best, IN THEIR PRIME, win, lose, or draw... for fear they might get beat?!!!? Floyd Mayweather needs to grow a pair!

I got my money's worth from Cotto-Maywe. At least both of them tried to impress.

In Pacman-Bradley fight I won't be satisfied with anything other than a KO.

This has to be the worst, most uneducated post I have ever seen.... Boxing Scene let's people like this get away with this??? Disnt you just read the article on this website a few days ago where Cotto said he never wanted to fight Floyd back then because he felt Floyd was on a different level?? Why do you say things so "matter of factly" even if they are not true?? You just drink Bob Arum's kool-aid.... For all you know you have no idea ehat was really agreed to and what wasnt considering no contracts have been signed.... You basically just chose a side and chose to believe what ever that side says....

Floyd no All Time Great?? You mentioned it clown, no one else so what does that tell ya?? "Whatever you resist persists"

Since you take whatever Bob Arum says as gold, than take the link below to tbe bank where out of his own mouth he calls Floyd the best since Ali, and puts em above Sugaf Ray and and Duran....

Here, eat your heart out clown and wipe that KOOL AID and BALOOT from your chim

Roach made very good points on how to beat Mayweather, but he's overlooking 3 major traits a fighter must have, outside of being active for 12 rounds.

1. Size. Manny doesn't have the size to push Floyd around the ring.

2. A Jab. Manny does not posses a quality jab to disrupt Mayweather's timing. *Manny does, however, have a sneaky good lead left that could be a substitute.

3. Footwork. Manny has fast feet, but average footwork. He cannot cut off a ring to save his life.

Mayweather will have an easier time following the blueprint to beat Pacquiao than Pacquiao will have trying to execute the game plan to defeat Mayweather.

And btw.... One more thing before I send ya on your way chump.... Who was Pacquioa's first choice for his fight on Jun 9 th?? It was a "weight drained" Miguel Cotto AGAIN! Can you frickin believe how small the balls are on your guy or what??

This guy wanted Cotto on June 9 th but wouldnt fight unless he "killed himself" to get back down to 147...

So let's get this clear... Cotto is the champ at 154 (one of em), and Pacquioa wants em to "weigjt drain" all the way down to 147 even though Pac wants to fight him for his fight on Jun 9 th....unbelievable.... Was it because a "non confident" Cotto at that time happenedto bust Pacquioa's ear drum and wrapped em like a mummy even though he was weight drained to 145?? Of course not huh?? What about how a "weight drained Cotto landed more 70 plus more punches than he landed on Floyd??

Dont sit there and talk about Floyd avoiding fighters 10 years ago when it's not true and stands on merit where Pac just AS A MATTER FACTLY avoided Cotto for his Jun 9 th fight ... You make yourself look ridiculous and embarrass yourself...

Lastly, they say Lamont Peterson just tested positive.... Now I see why Pacquioa has a defamation of character suit against Floyd (IMO) ...

Floyd only weighed 151 at the weight in and during fight night came in at 147, but didn't have any excuses about fighting world champ in his weight class. If you are going to fight someone for a title in a particular weight class. Your opponent should be allowed to make that weight class LIMIT regardless of what weight you can make.

Do you honestly believe this??!!! Is this really documented? Or it just came out from 50cent's ******!!!

Why isn't Manny Pacquiao a part of the VADA program like his boy Amir Khan? I believe that the OSDT protocol will out more fighters who are using the sauce to give them an edge in the ring. I'm shocked at Lamont Peterson and I think he should get the full brunt of punishment. If it means he gets banned for life, so be it. I don't care who it is. You cheat, you pay. He must pay and he must pay dearly. Pacquiao, join the club so if you are doing something illegal, you will be ousted. Even the most stand up guys in boxing could be guilty of using PEDs. Pac's no different than any other fighter. His past is not 100% squeaky clean and he's not above cheating to gain an advantage. Pacquiao, take the tests. Stop ducking the tests. Even if he never fights Floyd, he still must participate. What kind of example is he setting? A guy who's being called the commander in chief of boxing won't let someone take his blood? He bleeds in the ring and doesn't claim to feel weak. He bleeds in the ring and still fights hard.

All in favor for Olympic Style Testing in totality say "I".

Peterson was caught with a URINE TEST, just to inform you...
