Mayweather just repeated the SELF PRESERVATION line with Canelo

[Fetta]

And here comes Floyds fan base in attack mode to defend his cherry picking



Pro tip self preservation means he fears the boxer and the possibilty that he may lose.

Then maybe you can post the full quote. Since you obviously have heard or read it all

[A-Wolf]

look man, Floyd is gonna avoid all the tough fights and cherry pick... Showtime is getting milked

Showtime got instantly owned by making that deal.

I Don't even like hopkins but I respect that he's out there fighting young challenges. Ward, pascal, cloud etc.

I Don't even like hopkins but I respect that he's out there fighting young challenges. Ward, pascal, cloud etc.

Maybe because he is self preserved. Like i said those that dont get hit alot have long shelf lives and are self preserved. More meaning to that phrase then what you think

Now what was the quote since you know what he meant by it

FLOYD MAYWEATHER: "I HOLD ALL THE CARDS...NO FIGHTER IS GOING TO GIVE ME AN ULTIMATUM"
By Ben Thompson | March 13, 2013

"Listen, I worked hard already early on in my career. Now, it's about being smart, so now I'm at a point to where I hold all the cards. I'm not picking and choosing. Guerrero is my mandatory. I'm the WBC champion, so he's my mandatory...If I fight Canelo, I'm paying Canelo. No one is giving me an ultimatum. So once again, I'm closer to 40 now than 21. If I wanted to pick and choose opponents, should I be able to? Absolutely! I earned my stripes. You don't just get to a power position by not fighting nobody, so if I wanted to pick and choose, so be it, but I'm not. I'm fighting my mandatory. No fighter is going to give me an ultimatum. How can a fighter that ain't never been on pay-per-view without me give an ultimatum," stated undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, who talked more about his upcoming May 4 title defense against Robert Guerrero, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, Andre Ward, Adrien Broner, and much more. Check it out!

here is the quote

I don't see the "Self preservation" line there.

[hugh grant]

So what floyd is saying is that he took a few risks when he was a no name fighter, trying to make a name for himself. But once he became a name, a somebody in boxing he took it as easy as he possibly could get away with.

No you shouldnt be able to cherry pick and choose opponents, cos as far as everyone is concerned youve taken career breaks and layoffs and retirmeents, while Pac was cleaning out boxing beating everyone left right anc centre, getting shop worn in the process.

Youve taken your rests and breaks and now its time for getting down and dirty.

I don't see the "Self preservation" line there.

I guess if you wanted to stretch you could jump on the "pick and choose" line, but that's if you wanted to stretch.

Don't see anything wrong with that quote. He just said Alvarez shouldn't be giving him ultimatums, which is true.

[Jack Napier]

doesn't matter what Floyd says, Alvarez is his next fight
he's just doing his part to start his end of the hype
Alvarez will whip Trout's ass, and Floyd will take care of Guerrero
Floyd's not afraid of Alvarez, he has 0 reason to be
