gotcha

i dont care what he said. i care about facts. facts are floyd was offered a career high payday to fight cotto and he didn't take it. also what did floyd himself say? how come you go by what arum says but not floyd? floyd says cotto lives too far away so he couldn't fight him. why don't you get on floyd for saying that nonsense? has love blinded you?

Offered by who? Cotto dont even remember this, considering Cotto himself stated he never attempted to make a fight with Floyd at that time

[MR PUNCHOUT]

His whole career consisted of him carefully selecting opponents to further his career. Floyd is now finally facing a legit threat in canelo, which he was cornered into making by SHO. Floyd thinks the 152lb catch weight will save him.

He made a big mistake. Canelo ends hype-job

Sooooo him calling out mosly, cotto and dlh when he was on the come up was carefully selecting opponents even though all of them ducked him when he was destroying people?

The only fights that Floyd has taken recently that I have issue with were Guerrero and Marquez. Other than that, he's doing fine in my opinion.

Still should have fought Pacquiao, though.

Guerrero was his mandatory why would you have a problem with that? Marquez was a good opponent, pac had so much trouble against him and then he was finally knocked out! Mayweather made him look like a scub when they fought the same would have happened to pac!

Can you name the time and the duration of all Floyd's fake retirements..plural?

yes, he retired after the oscar fight,,,

then cameback after hatton called him out after the JLC win,

and then floyd retired after beating hatton......

So that is 2 retirements, or fake "retirements" as i like to say because they most def not were for real like lennox lewis or even george foremen from the 70s, at least he was retired for a decade,,,, Doesnt bother me when a guy retires and comes back,,,, but dont fake retirement till big payday fights with little risk are involved, while ignoring major fights that could have been made

Considering he fought Hatton the same year he fought Oscar, only a few months later...are you actually going to call that a retirement?? And that somehow is going to count against Floyd? Really, are you that petty a boxing fan to even bother mentioning this?

they can never answer that, floyd called out hatton and cotto both said no!!!!

floyd called out mosley and odlh when they were younger both said no!!!!!

floyd agreed to all manny demands and only had one manny said no!

the only guy they have a point with is margarito until we find out he's a bricklayer.

jmm was a bad fight imo and guerrero was just a tune up like bringer said i hated those two fights.

other than that he's had legit comp since he came out of retirement.

And if you notice none of them are criticized for ducking Mayweather, on boxingscene its okay for fighters to turn down a Mayweather fight but its not okay for Mayweather to turn down any fight.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

If anyone thinks that jmm is a legit opponent for floyd you must be completely ignorant on the sweet science,,,

1. Did anyone really think jmm had a chance vs floyd,,, really i want to know,, did you think jmm was going to outbox floyd or ko him

2. jmm is a great fighter but he is a counter puncher that excels vs aggressive come forward fighters like diaz, manny, katsidis,, and jmm doesnt excel vs actual boxers like chris john, mab, casamoyer....

3. Did you really think floyd would lose to a guy that is older, smaller,slower handspeed, slower footspeed, shorter, weaker, shaky defense, and counterpuncher,,, do you really think that guy is going to outbox and outcounter floyd joy mayweather jr

4. you have to be a complete idiot to think jmm stood a chance in that fight,, but the funny thing is that people actually brag about the jmm and compare it to manny's fights with jmm, ignoring the fact that jmm and manny are about the same size, and floyd is bigger than both,, and that floyd is a slick boxer, whereas manny is an aggressive puncher, tailor-made for jmm counters, thats why they have great fights together,,

5. if you cant understand that, then you should just log off and pick up a new sport

How come we never phrase this as Manny should of fought Floyd? Cause last time I checked Manny walked away from the "Test" and he walked away from "40 million" so yeah, Manny should of fought Floyd. Now when Manny presents Floyd with a contract to sign like Floyd presented Manny with a contract to sign let me know

Yes Manny walked. But still, Floyd doesn't get a W on his record because of it.
