Once again the fans & media gave Floyd a easy fight!

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Yes it is, because HYPE means money, with the exception of the Pacquiao fight that is lol.

Take Shane Mosley for example, he was always a easy fight for Floyd, but people started with "O Floyds scared" and boom, you got a UD shutout.

Floyd follows the hype, because hype brings money.

What hype was there for ghost, or ortiz, or even jmm, or shambra, gatti, brusceles, sosa or n'dou

I agreed with a lot of what you said but any version of Angulo gets whooped by Floyd all night long. That guy is a walking zombie, he telegraphs his punches and plods a long like an 80 year old arthritis patient.

I agree and disagree,,,

Angulo's size and pressure would be the toughest thing floyd had seen,, just based on size and strength alone,,,, obvious floyd has alot more skills than angulo, but size plays a huge part,,, floyd wouldnt hurt angulo, so angulo would never backdown and cause floyd alot of trouble just because of his size,,, That is why they have weightclasses,,, if size didnt matter then floyd would be a mw or lhw

He has incredible stamina, very good work rate and it's difficult to hurt him, and unless you can hurt your opponent enough to make him think twice it is very difficult to keep them at a distance. Lara is a very good puncher but he couldn't hurt Angulo enough to keep him away.

Also imagine Angulo pushing his weight on Mayweather, Floyd would probably get exhausted quickly with all that weight being pushed on him.

Floyd is not the cherry picker here, you guys do it FOR HIM!! You hype up all these guys off of popularity instead of skill or how their style matches up against Floyd's style, instead we of the normal you scared, he's ducking..to dangerous comments...of guys that Floyd would beat easily.

Instead of hyping up the Canelo fight, you guys should have been hyping up Austin Trout Vs Floyd Mayweather after Trout's win over Cotto.

Instead of hyping up Ortiz you should have been hyping up Lara Vs Mayweather.

Instead of hyping up Delahoya you should have been hyping up Paul Williams.

My point is, the most dangerous fights for Floyd stylewise is usually not against the most popular guys.

Hyping up Paul Williams for what? Name one thing Paul Williams does great? Nobody got behind Paul Williams because he never improved as a fighter. He made the same mistakes in his biggest fights that he made when he was a prospect. Serg kept tagging him with the left hand in their first fight. Put him to sleep with the left hand in their second fight. The very next fight Lara tattooed him with that same left hand. You see there was never no growth in his fight game. That's why there was no hype.

Oh I didn't know that Floyd fight whoever the fan chose .

If I remember correctly the fans wanted Floyd to fight PAC but Floyd cherry picked Josie.

[The Big Dunn]

All of that was before floyd became the biggest draw in boxing,,,

the cotto not ready stuff was from 2005,, Cotto was ready by late 2007 and especially in 2008,,,, but floyd was having a fake retirement

Manny did finally agree to floyd's terms and floyd changed the money split on manny,,,,
Shane would have fought floyd after the oscar fight, just like how he fought cotto later that year,,, Floyd was the biggest draw in the sport and brought the biggest check.....

So its hard to make fights when you dont really want them,, unless shane is coming off 17 month layoff and floyd had just fought jmm, and cotto was a complete shell of himself after the margs and manny beatdowns,,, he struggled vs yuri, mayorga, and one-eyed margs, but then floyd wanted to fight him and even claimed that cotto was undefeated, and that he doesnt do catchweights..
but then the next year floyd doing catchweights,,,,,
Floyd is a hypocrite and a very careful selector of his opponents,,, that is the main reason every ATG resume you can think off craps on floyds resume

We agree floyds retirement was not real. Niether was srl. Does he get crap for waiting 2 yrs for hearns or 5 for hagler? Of course not. Manny finally agrees-4 yrs later- and that's floyds fault. Wow.

Floyd said he considered cotto undefeated because margs cheated and manny fought him at 145. So what floyd says to hype up the cotto fight has an impact on how you see his resume? That's doesn't make sense.

Hypocrite absolutely. careful selector is an excuse becsue he hasn't lost. And if you truly believe it then you are suggesting when he asked for prime shane, prime odh and then prime manny in 09 that he was doing so only because he could beat them. Yet each of these men and prime cotto turned the fight down.

Why did they do that? Why if they could beat floyd did they say no to a fight?

[FrankieClutch]

So people are complaining about May vs Canelo?? Maybe it's just me, but I'm expecting a competitive fight

[Verstyle]

With Floyd no matter who he fights people will just bring up who he did not fight,if he Fought Margo,Lara and Williams..then people would just say he ducked Ortiz,Oscar and Hatton

Floyd ball washer to the rescue! Haha damn larold get a life mang!

Floyd has always ducked his biggest challenges. The last one he took was against Castillo. He lost the first one the left no doubt in the rematch. Floyd needs to grow a pair

SRL didnt make Hearns wait,, he fought a prime undefeated hearns at his peak, and srl got his eye destroyed from it, hence the long layoff for SRL, When was floyd's eye destroyed,, hatton fight was it or maybe the oscar, floyd ducked out into a fake retirement, SRL had a legit injury

No it just makes what floyd says useless dribble and nonsense

FLoyd got fights turned down pre-oscar fight, not when he was the biggest draw in the sport, floyd brought no money to the table in the early 2000's and that was when he was calling out shane and oscar, oscar gave him his shot and floyd capitilized on it and became the biggest star in the sport,,, then he could have fought shane, cotto, manny but he decided to go into retirement, and wait it out till everyone was old and shot,, He could have easily made the manny fight,, and like you said manny agreed 4 years later, then why didnt they fight,, he agreed to what floyd asked, should have fought him in 2012 when manny agreed but floyd changed the terms of the deal once manny agreed,, I dont see who you can think floyd would want that fight if manny finally agrees to everything floyd asked for and floyd changes the deal once again
Why did they do that? Why if they could beat floyd did they say no to a fight?

They said no to the fights before floyd was a major star,,, none declined him once floyd beat oscar and became the biggest star in the sport and brought the most money,, nobody was rejecting a fight then,, yet floyd wouldnt offer them the fights and "retired" till shane was completely old and coming off a 17 month layoff, and cotto was completely shot... Do you see the difference in people rejecting floyd in 2000-05 when he brought zero money to the table and had no name outside of hardcore fans, and then people wanting to fight him post-oscar because floyd brought the biggest paycheck... but did floyd make the big fights everyone wanted to see,,, nope, he didnt, he chose fake retirement and b-level opponents and old shot fighters like cotto and shane
