    Very true sir. You see kiddies. Pacquiao/Marquez are the type of fighters that garner respect among their peers, predecessors, and succesors. They're the type of guys that can sit back and have a cold beer with any legend of the past, and shoot the **** about the wars they've been in.

    Floyd on the other hand, is the type that couldn't look another legend in their eye, because of the cowardice and disservice he's done to the sport of boxing. He's only comfortable around his worshippers, and yes men.

        Floyd Mayweather will be remembered as the smartest dumbest fighter of all time.

        Smart....because he made millions without taking too much punishment.

        Dumb.....because he never fought Pacquiao in a fight that would have cashed out $100 million for Floyd and also closed the book on his legacy.

        Smart......because he didn't fight Pacquiao 3 yrs ago when most people thought Pacquiao was on the juice.

        Dumb.....because he didn't fight Pacquiao after Pacquiao agreed to all of his terms and a 55/45 split after the bradley fight.

        Floyds fights lacked drama.
        Credit Floyd for being so skilled that his fights look easy for him.

        But there is not 1 legendary fight on Floyds resume.

              Not a coward. But in the context of last night's fight, utterly meaningless. That should have been Floyd in there with Pacquaio, giving us the defining fight of this era.

                Last night reminded us how mega fights should be. I don't think Floyd could ever deliver such drama in the ring, nor will he ever get a warrior's type respect.

                You have to remember. Marquez had to go through the fire to deliver his shots. I think that's the #1 reason why he doesn't want any parts of PAC man. It takes a true warrior to want to fight Manny 4 ****in times. That's nutso.
                It doesnt take a warrior to see that I'll make the most money against Pacquiao. JMM is a warrior but not because he fought Pac 4 times. And when it comes to Floyd "NOt a Warrior" = doesnt get punched in the damn faced repeatedly. Its easy to see if Mayweather handles Pacquiao like the rest threads and posts would read: "I knew it would happen but why is he ducking Golovkin". I know the haters remember saying "He'll never fight Mosley". "If he does I'll give him respect". Fast forward and here we are having the same conversations with different names.

                What style of fighter is that? Mosley-power punching slugger or Marquez-counter puncher with great timing or maybe Hatton- fleet of foot pressure mawler no no no You mean he keeps picking ones like Cotto-well schooled vets at higher weight classes. Thats not it. You mean Ortiz- A youngster coming off the best win of his career. Its always a dumb ass excuse because Pacquiao is the most taylor made for Floyd. He's smaller, He will attack Floyd and tends to lead with his face. Almost none of Floyd's opponents are alike. Unless youre saying Pacquiao has the only mystery style on the planet. Explain yourself. Now damnit. LOL.

                  The man that fights very so often, while actually staying in shape during his time off, will never go down as a warrior. Him not getting his has absolutely nothing to do with it. It's his mentality on the game that will always stop him from being a true warrior/legend in the game.

                    A lot of Pac's fans are salty as **** today. It isn't Floyd's fault that Manny got KO. Manny could have won all three of his last fights, and the mega fight wouldn't have lost its relevancy even though it wouldn't quite been as popular as it would have been back in 2009. Marquez deserved all the props. I don't like how some of Floyd's fans are vicariously piggyback off of Marquez's victory as if it was Floyd who did it. It's quite pathetic, but not to the level of some moronic fans saying this fight weakened Floyd's legacy.
