Are Floyds fans scared to put him in with Manny?

[djtmal]

Then explain why PAC was the one to walk away after getting everything he asked for?

I don't know...maybe his health was more important..?...lol

I like Floyd just as much as I like Manny and I always try not to be bias but come on Floyd fans.

Every time somebody mentions a fight or makes a thread about Pac and Floyd fighting you guys talk like you don't want it to happen.
I don't care who you are or what side your on, you have to admit a victory over Pac would complete Floyds legacy.

If Floyd doesn't fight Pac a lot of boxing fans will hold it against him and it will be written and talked about forever. There is no other fighter that will have that affect on Floyds career.

Another thing is this...If not Manny then who? Like it or not Manny is the biggest threat and stands the best chance of beating Floyd.

Lets stop making excuses for why Floyd shouldn't fight Manny and lets start demanding it for the good of our beloved sport.

I'm a Mayweather fan and I would love to see the fight.
Beating Rios who is slow and not very skilled didn't scare me.

Rios hurt Pacquiao in that fight a few times.
He also hit Manny whenever he did let his hands go.

Now.......can you imagine if Mayweather fought slow a$$ Rios?
He wouldn't land a glove on Floyd.

If Rios can hit and hurt Pacquiao then i'm more than sure Mayweather could ko Pacquaio.
Pacquiao still makes alot of mistakes.

People have to remember one of the biggest obstacles in making the fight is Floyd's pay structure and the fact that Top Rank has to pay Golden Boy a portion of all Manny's purse...

Fans are sick and tired of speculations, white-paper match ups and barbershop pitting of fighters. This is the thing, back in the good ole days of boxing it is about the FIGHT at all, people actually look forward to see the fight.

Nowadays, it is about whether the opponent is worthy to fight another and boiling down to being either OVERLY MATCHED or MISMATCHED.

Who cares....just fight!

This I agree with 100% and it's the same thing Floyd has done before.
He is really good at avoiding fighters when they pose a threat and then when somebody else exposes their weakness he don't mind getting the fight made. I believe that is his plan with Manny. Just keep waiting, the longer he waits the easier it will be. I still think Floyd had a better chance of winning even when Pac was at his peak. I would say the fight was 55/45 for Floyd.
Now it's maybe 60/40 for Floyd but still nobody else is going to even get close to that. Pac is the #1 opponent for Floyd.

You owned yourself with this crap post.

Really good at avoiding fighters when they pose a threat and somebody else exposes their weakness?????????
This my friend sounds more like Manny Pacquiao.

Mayweather vs Delahoya (delahoya was 154 champion)
Pacquiao vs Delahoya (delahoya was weight drained at 147 and lost to mayweather)

Mayweather vs hatton (hatton was 43-0)
Pacquiao vs Hatton (hatton coming off a ko loss to Floyd)

Mayweather vs Cotto (cotto was coming off a margarito win)
Pacquiao vs Cotto (cotto was coming off a loss to margarito)

Mayweather vs Mosley (mosley was the champ coming off a margarito win)
Pacquiao vs Mosley (mosley was 40yrs coming off a loss to Floyd)

Mayweather vs Marquez (mayweather toyed with the great marquez)
Pacquiao vs Marquez (well you know what happened there)

Also......Ortiz coming off his best win and was champion( mayweather) Rios coming off a loss (pacquiao)

(Fights that are Even)..........Canelo/Bradley ..........Guerrero/Clottey..........

Bravo....great speech....

But if you know boxing.........there are Promoters/Tv networks/Managers etc that can get in the way.

It's not always the fighters fault.

Public demand can trump all of that imo...

I don't think Manny has any fear of Floyd. He fought Margs and Floyd didn't dare fight Margs @147

We already know Manny would fight Floyd tomorrow if he had to. He is no shot caller. Bob Arum is the shot caller and Arum already decided Pacquiao's next date as April 12th even though we already know Floyd only fights on the Mexican holidays.
