    You can blame Floyd for not budging if you want, I blame Pac/Arum for not accepting. Bet Manny wishes they hadn't passed on the offer
    Took JMM 4 bites at the apple to finally get a win ROFL. Who did Floyd think he is to make demands. Pacman has a political career in the Philippines to think about, your really think he is gonna allow someone to DICTATE TERMS to him and make him look like a beta? You must be ****** then if you think that.

    Floyd tried to play Manny like he was some punk ***** and that isn't happening. *****s act like Manny needs him.

    Money May flossin rides and cash while Pacquaio rolls with a private army. Who the real baller LOL.

      Oh and for the record Floyd just fought a prime Canelo, Guerrero and Ortiz are in their primes as well so I dunno wth the OP is talkin bout. I may not like Money May's antics, but I respect his boxing and how great he is.

        Yeah, I guess beating Andre Berto is the path to a Mayweather fight.

        Guerrero - slow as ****, not even technically great, sloppy fighter
        Canelo - lol catchweight for lineal fight. Worst stamina in boxing, only good win is Trout and it was close. He's greener than grass
        Ortiz - quitter, was doing best of all vs Floyd and then jk headbutt, jk sucker punch. Only one I see who had a small chance and he got sucker punched LOL..

        Mayweather is good, but why u guys acting like any of these guys in there primes could ever compare to the likes of Pacquaio, Mosley and De La Hoya... they would all get trashed

        Anyways, mayweather dodged margarito too, it's just how he is, all brains, no heart.

Pacquiao's unofficial win against prime Bradley is better than any win on Floyd's resume from the past seven years. now I understand why they call him a cherrypicker look at his resume, full of inexperienced and shot fighters.
          I wasnt won over by the promotions for the Canelo fight. I was won over by Floyds performance.

          Yes, he chooses his opponents wisely from a business point of view. But i think all fighters who reach the top do the same.

          You are never going to choose to fight the guy who has no following and has a style which could be trouble. You choose the guy who is popular and you can whip.

          I consider Floyds resume very good, but its his performances that have made him great.

            The OP is a walking contradiction. His handle contradicts his posting. He's been shown to contradict himself over the Canelo posts and he states Mayweather doesn't fight "legit" prime opponents and would only respect him if he fights Pacquiao........ who isn't in his prime?

            Must try harder.

              How in the hell was that a cherry pick? Guerrero wasn't shot or green. These haters are so ****** that logic simply goes out the window with them lol.
              This is true, but is seems that most boxing fans don't think Guerrero is worth ****. Which I don't understand, Guerrero is a workhorse, a warrior and a winner.
              In his next couple of fights Guerrero will get back to winning and it will be a bit harder for people to hate on the guy. But for now he was a big loser who never deserved the fight.

                How you going talk about Floyd when you got Golovkin in your avi and sig, Canelo, Ortiz and Guerrero are more respectable for a 147 pounder than Rosado, Ishida and Macklin are for a 160 pounder. That's the thing about you Golovkin fans you love to insult other fighters resume when your guy fights ESPN level talent.

                  Private armies are common in the Philippines, otherwise your entire family could be massacred, I'll take the million dollar cars over needing mercenaries to protect my family. The Philippines have many political killings, it's like saying a you would rather run the Mexican Mafia them be Floyd, Manny rolls with that army cause he has to.

                    And none of them more impressive than the name Guerrero. Also, Guerrero looked like a full grown welterweight in his first fight in the division. Your argument is beyond weak. Everyone on this board was talking about how Berto was going to knock out Guerrero and I told everyone who would listen Berto was in for a beating. Guerrero was a legit top 5 opponent at WW in his prime. Period. Re write history in whatever way makes you feel better.

                      Weak bro. Oscar was still viable, Cotto didn't look shopworn at all, and Floyd fought him at 154 not 145, Mosley was the guy Pac refused to face because Roach said he was "too good." Talk all the **** you want about Marquez but Floyd put the stamp on that fight in one showing and didn't need four fights to proven the inferior fighter. *Yawn* I hope Many and Floyd do hook up so everyone can shut up about who the best fighter of this generation is.
