Based on his recent comments is Floyd ducking Manny?

[BUNGALOWS]

Poll is at 23 to 3, right now.



Yeah, he's a ducking *****.

Mayweather is absolutely ridiculous. De La Hoya made the fight with Pacquiao and Mayweather easily. Pacquiao had many fights against golden boy fighters with ease before as well. And what was the difficulty in making the De La Hoya vs Mayweather 2 rematch?...Mayweather! He "retired"

Whats the reason for Golden boy and Top Rank beefing?...Mayweather!
Whats the reason for HBO & Showtime beefing?...Mayweather!
Its all his god damn fault why there's a division. He is really the next piece of >>> i hope gets KDd, loses or KOd after all his b.s. antcis. i wouldnt even mind it if Khan does a 3x Hail Mary ko punch

With Mayweater it was easy.

With Pacquiao it was very complicated, the fight actually fell off. Pacquiao wanted a bigger split than what Mayweather got for DLH.

And the reason why DLH made the Pac fight is because GBP and TR still worked together in 2008 and even early 2009(Pacquiao-Hatton). Also, DLH was not advised by Haymon. Since then, you'd be hard pressed to find any GBP vs TR fights. It's not a Mayweather-Arum thing, it is now a full blown Schaefer/DLH/Haymon/Mayweather vs Arum/TR/HBO thing. Which is why we would never see fights like Garcia vs Bradley, Matthysse-Provodnikov, Thurman-Rios etc. When people realize this, how bg the feud is, and stop acting like it's strictly a Mayweather thing, they will stop b-tching about who's fault it is.

You can make this poll in espn and the results will be the same. The overwhelming majority of people who watch sports, including boxers and other athletes, see Floyd as the one who doesn't want the fight.

They are not wrong.

I disagree, I would have to see that poll to believe it, and even then, espn? Boxing aside, they are extremely biased and unknowledgable, when comapared to other sports networks like MLBNetwork, NFLNetwork, CSNs, Showtime, etc. The only boxing opinions I tend to respect from ESPN usually come from FNF, but that's just me. Atlas is the man.

If I vote yes does that mean that I'm a p@ctard?

Of course not. The only thing that makes you a "p@ctard" is believing Manny would ever have more than a punchers chance to beat him, any version, ever.

[PAC-BOY]

yes !

[-Kev-]

lol, thats not why Floyd fought him. Floyd fought Cotto because he was already past his prime and KOd twice.

That's your logic.

But in reality, Floyd fought Cotto because he was out of Top Rank and was the biggest name/money fight that could have realistically been made. <---That's sensible fan logic.

Dude, you can put that poll anywhere, and the results are going to be the same. lol "atlas is the man". Thats the same dummy who said he had emails proving Manny wanted to know about positive tests. When the time came for him to provide them, he balked. Same as Floyd. When the time came for him to provide testing results, he paid money instead.

Sensible fan logic, Floyd only fights young, inexperienced fighters, or fighters on the downside of their careers.

Never a prime welterweight. "I don't want to fight no welterweights". Guess who those welterweights were?

Cotto, Margarito, Williams.

i don't fight to prove who's best

who said this?

I know where Floyd is coming, I understand his attitude towards TR fighters are only to be spiteful against Arum, and him not wanting to fight any TR fighter is to be spiteful against Arum. Floyd hates the guy and would never work with him and doesn't want him earning a penny from him. That's why he has that attitude when asked about Pacquiao. If Pac was not a TR fighter, he'd give Pac nothing but praise. In fact he had nothing but praise for Pacquiao back in the day when he was in TR.

People think it's ducking, but it really goes beyond anything about Pac or his accomplishments. Deep inside Floyd respects him and knows what Pac has done deserves praise. But just to be spiteful against Arum he won't fight Pac under TR, and he won't praise Pacquiao while he's under TR.

If you take off your troll goggles, you'd agree with what I am saying.

[TGD]

100% yes. The excuse changes every time. Funny thing is, I believe Mayweather beats Pacquiao.

Not forgetting he has previous, when he 'retired'
