Instead of hating who Floyd "wants" to fight, take it to the source.

      its as simple as that dunn.
      ok. if you want to see the best fighting the best than who? martinez? Bradley? Lara?

      Thats my point about feeling floyd could lose. Respectfully, how else do people judge whether a floyd fight will be "good" or "competitive" unless they think he could lose?

      would bradley? manny? JMM2? ghost? what fights are competitive IYO?

HBO will approve almost anything and that needs to be changed. the best way to do that is not to buy the PPV's and then they have to start giving us fights we actually want. im sick of this playground crap with certain promoters not doing business with other promoters etc etc. its just not good for the sport.
        That's the problem. Floyd is his own Bob Arum. Any fight that doesn't get made is on him as well.

        We all like to bring the Bob Arum/TOP RANK excuse, but did they not NEGOTIATE with him??? Did he not reject offers as well???

        People act like "Oh ****, it's TOP RANK, can't be done!"

          so if canelo is being saved for Sept, floyd isn't going to fight out of the ww division and I cant see why he would be expected to.
          thats the difference dunn, boxing fans shouldnt give a toss how much they are getting paid, how many bums are on seats. mayweather will be making millions regardless of who he fights.

          i just dont get boxing fans who stick up for certain guys who take the easier fights because they get more money, surely as a boxing fan, you would want to see the best fights!

            I'm willing to bet my bottom dollar, TOP RANK would sign off on a Bradley/Mayweather fight.

            Floyd's got it so ingrained in your heads that he can't do business with TOP RANK, so he can avoid damn near everyone.

              just want to see good fights dunn. its not about who wins or loses.

              bradley doesnt really interest me because he has a boring style. id pay for the manny fight yes. JMM 2? no im not really interested in that because its not a great clash of styles and marquez is a bit small. ghost? its acceptable but i wouldnt pay for it.

                  THANK YOU! Flowmos will come up excuses to the high heavens on why he didn't fight this guy at that time. Or did this during that time.

                  Stop it already, and admit that he's a fraudulent dude.

                    It's Floyd's choice. Both Guerrero and Alexander are world champions so neither is that bad of choice.If he does not fight Guerrero he should be striped of his WBC tittle though. He probably does not care about that.

                      Yeah, it's Floyd's choice, so why not go for the big dogs at 154? Why waste your time with some sparring matches?

                      He's got a few fights left in him, and he's going to waste his time with Alexander/Guerrero??? Are you ****ting me?
