They also have prerogative and freedom to do so. So whats your point?

Forums are for debate they can criticize who they want presenting their opinions.

As what I am saying, can at least give me a logical reason why is it not to use the word coward on your boy floyd?

Instead of Defending him not fighting Pac, why won't you campaign and tell him to shut the Midget inside the ring and not be a ***** on twitter/fb/internet name calling the midget.

If I undertook that campaign I still can't make manny agree to the offers he has been presented. Everytime manny refuses the fight posters like you don't get mad at him-you get mad at floyd for the way the offer is crafted. That is illogical and isn't something rational, normal people do.

Like I said, I don't care what you call floyd. It just seems coward is used whenever someone criticizes manny.

It is kinda funny your join date is during the peak of Pacquiao's career

Maybe I should've joined NSB is 1982?

Floydiots working overtime justifying their beloved rich coward's rants. Easily the most deluded fanbase out there.

If Sugar Ray Robinson can Rise up from the grave, He will tell floyd your making blacks look cowards boy.

WTF! Boxing has change these days because of you floyd!

You walk the talk and fight like a man.
I faced the best to be the best and your simply an embarrassment to us.

Granted everyone has the rt to their opinions & the topic of mayweather is no different. He has his supporters and he has his detractors. I don't necessarily think he's "changed" boxing. He's simply the sport's current cash cow which was the case w/ de la hoya, mike tyson, ray leonard & even ali. In the sense that he's decided to be his own man & call his own shots is more a testament to his success as well as being the 'face' of the sport. You may have boxers you like or respect more but no one in today's crop of fighters generates the same level of interest (be it praise or scorn) than mayweather and the numbers reflect that. As for the ray robinson comment, his accolades in the ring are unparalleled but he died broke. Joe Louis died broke. Mike Tyson & Evander Holyfield made millions only to lose most or all b/c of various circumstances. Boxing is both business & sport. I realize the average boxing enthusiast doesn't care about the business aspect. They only want to acknowledge what occurs in the ring which is easy for the person who doesn't have to place themselves in harm's way. Its no different than a player refusing to report to training camp b/c of contract disputes or strikes taking place in major sports. As a fan, you may not appreciate it but the business/money side of professional sports can never be downplayed. As for him being a "disgrace" to the sport or giving a "bad name" to black folks, is quite the opposite. I for one can respect any young brother who managed to escape a poverty stricken, drug & crime infested environment while becoming a self made millionaire based on hard work and talent. Mayweather is actually an inspiration to many inter city dwellers surrounded by a constant barrage of negativity. Lastly, I doubt any one who fights for a living is "scared" of his fellow peers. Floyd is simply going to fight his way and on his terms. Unfortunately for him (although I doubt he cares), that mindset doesn't translate well w/ some boxing fans who prefer not to see the business side spill over into the spotlight.

base on your statements it's all about the money now.

Pac is money and Pride and also legacy for floyd and he refuses to fight him.

So from all your statements collated it only justifies the word "Coward" is right for floyd

[Evol]

just like what i was saying yesterday on the other thread. floyd is gonna play with pac. its funny because i dont recall pac begging floyd for a fight and begging floyd to throw any offer at him???? all pac said was he would like to have a future fight with floyd if thats possible but i thought he's been saying this for the pass 3-4 years already? so now that he's in some type of trouble his words gets twisted and now he's a begging for a fight?

[The Big Dunn]

since 2009 dunn? have you given credit to Pac and Other boxers?

Of course I have. and I have been critical of floyd, just not to the degree that I have been critical of manny.

The point I raised is valid. Posters like you attack any fighter, manager, promoter or poster that criticizes manny. You use the exact same criticisms whether they apply to the individual or not. You place blame on anything and everything but Manny.

If thats how it is fine. But think about it-why is criticizing manny met with such ferocity?
