Yea in the initial contract there was a list of fighters Floyd agreed to fight
Fighters like Angulo were on the list

Now they exhausted those options

Floyd PAC will happen because Floyd fights for money .

People say this fight is too late. 5 years too late. That's true from the perspective of is fans wanting to see prime vs prime versions versus one another. But this fight is now bigger than ever. Floyd said it himself - I don't need to fight PAC - I get 40 mil fighting someone else. 40 mil was the figure back then . Now it's triple that. Neither fighter is scared. Nows the time.

Agreed......

Look at the amount of fights both have... Their are threads everyday ****ting on everything money has done. My point was that Charley burley was robinsons best possible opponent in his prime....IMO better than everyone he ever faced just like some will say pacquaio is for floyd. The fight never happened though times it was close to happening.


Either way people don't try to take away from his legacy stop trying to it with modern guys



Regardless if may n PAC fight money will be the favorite.... He has more skills, on the same level as PAC athletically, but his drive ability to bite down when he needs to and feeling black balled in his era when guys he is better than are more beloved like Manny, odlh, and gatti

That mental edge is the difference he doesn't get rattled and he adapts...pac has those attributes but to a lesser degree.


We can agree to disagree....but please bro can you let that SRR thread go

Maybe you missed it but Reed told us to stop the SRR discussion in this thread.
