[The Gambler1981]

What a clever and inventive thread, with all sorts of new people sharing fresh and new takes~

Manny not worth that much anymore he is played out now Mayweather vs Canelo is the fight

Floyd will be satisfied with his handpicked opponents! He'll stay from danger, Canelo will not be next! it will be Alexander next!

Pac will be back!

Floyd obviously didn't fight everyone he could of,discuss

Floyd rates himself but is the joke of boxing. He is as far removed from being a throwback fighter as its possibly to be. If the olden day fighters are the yardstick for all that is good then Floyd is totally opposite.

Many people have called Floyd out, and Floyd puts his hand up talk to the hand as the face aint listening. Canelo, Sergio, Pac all feel hard done by as they called him out but no answer from Floyd, he is discrimatining those boys must feel rejected like a man trying to make a pass at a woman, and FLoyd is in boxing terms a little womanish.

But his excuse for fighting and bloating jmm up was you called me out. So full of lies and excuses is Floyd, just like his fans.

Im sorry to say its been a lot longer than just a couple of years. Never fought the guys us fans wanted to see at the time. So much skill, so much talent yet he fought for a paycheck and not for a spot as an ATG

To some extent he fights for the money because if he had fought Pacman he would have made double that any fight possible and now if had fought Canelo he would have made more that Guerrero.
So I think he's just ****ing with us

I used to be the main one saying floyd was a cowardd and ducked everyone. but he has been getting better about it ever since Marquez.. I was shocked he even took the marquez fight at the time.. Now, Floyd is a very good boxer but I think his uncle saved him a few times. One that stick out in my mind was vs zab judah.. Early, zab was getting to floyd with his lightening speed and staying on the outside.. At this point mayweather was befuddled to an extent. Rodger than said walk him down.. When rodger said this floyd looked like he was going to cry. He did not want to walk zab down but he did and it work out brilliantly .. This is just one example. I think rodger is a bigger asset then most realize.. Or at least he was. Now that floyd is older he may not need rodger as much.. sorry for the grammar..

Oh, and how did I miss the most obvious one?

Mosley in 2010 (Coming off one of the best wins in his career)

You'd have to be the biggest fool on the planet to think he would take that fight. You see how scared he was when Mosley confronted him face to face?

I think that everybody agrees that Floyd didn't duck before fighting Jose Luis Castillo in 2002. Furthermore, I think that most also agree that after he split up with Top Rank in 2006, Floyd's selection of fighters have been a long run of ducking the best fighters.

Here are some avoided fighters since 2007...

The three best were avoided in 2007
1.Antonio Margarito at 147p
2.Paul Wiliams at 147p
3.Miguel Cotto at 147p

The three best were avoided in 2008
1.Paul Wiliams at 147p
2.Antonio Margarito at 147p
3.Miguel Cotto at 147p

The three best were avoided in 2009
1.Manny Pacquiao at 147p
2.Paul Wiliams at 147-154p
3.Miguel Cotto at 147p

The three best were avoided in 2010
1.Manny Pacquiao at 147p
2.Paul Wiliams at 147-154p
3.Sergio Martinez at 154p

The three best were avoided in 2011
1.Sergio Martinez at 154p
2.Manny Pacquiao at 147p
3.Erislandy Lara at 154p

The three best were avoided in 2012
1.Sergio Martinez at 154p
2.Manny Pacquiao at 147p
3.Erislandy Lara at 154p

The four best seem to be avoided in 2013
1.Sergio Martinez at 154p
2.Erislandy Lara at 154p
3.Manny Pacquiao at 147p
4.Canelo Alvarez at 154p

Imagine Floyd meeting…

Antonio Margarito, 2007
Miguel Cotto, 2007 and 2008
Paul Williams, 2008 and 2009
Manny Pacquiao, 2009 and 2010
Sergio Martinez, 2011 and 2012
Erislandy Lara, 2012, and
Canelo Alvarez, 2013 and 2014

…he would have been a Top 5 ATG on all cards, even with a few losses.

However, because he ducked all these fights, the boxing community will judge him hard and now he is seen as a coward, and not even Top 50 P4P All Time because he didn’t care about his legacy. If it wasn’t for him Dancing With the Stars and Wrestling with Big Show, he wouldn’t have anyone watching all his fights fighting nobodies.
