Comments Thread For: Mayweather To Arum: Why Do Business With a Coward?

[turnedup]

We love you Floyd but everything that comes out this dudes mouth is money and business these days...for a guy who is arguably the best of his generation he sure has stopped talking about legacy the last few years...it went from wanting to be the greatest to the richest...well you are the richest now...what's left but legacy? People can argue Arum this and Haymon that but this fight didn't happen because of the promoters..both sides. The two boxers don't get the gravity of the situation but they will once their careers end and there are no new highlights coming in. Once the years pass and the luster of those early career wins fade, the flavor of the belt, the flavor of being champion..when all that's discussed and it lands on the flaws of their careers not fighting each other will be it.

Yes, Floyd, because Castillo not fighting somehow means something about the first fight you had.

You can argue about the 1st castillo fight as to who won. The 2nd fight was never in question as he scored on castillo in a relentless manner. To bad pac cannot say the same to jmm lol

Ever hear of James Buster Douglas, Leon Spinks, Iran Barkley or need I say more?

Sturdier stuff? Kid, we all here should know that styles make fights; this is boxing, not wrestling.

Styles do make fights but Mayweather has shown he can adjust to any style. If Rustico Torrecampo (KO Loss), Medgoen Singsurat (KO Loss), Agapito Sánchez (Draw),Juan Manuel Márquez (KO Loss), Érik Morales (Loss), Timothy Bradley (Loss) can adjust to the invincible Manny, what in heaven's name do you think Mayweather would do to him? I don't get why Manny's fans are still so ignorant to the reality of Manny's career, they're trying to pretend he isn't sliding and that he didn't get put to sleep two fights ago.

Now that's Mister Rogers for you, the land of mother****ing make believe....

Sorry, bro. You're using the triangle theory. You know styles make fights and Floyd avoided serious threats and waited for other big punchers to take them out. At least we can say Broner never did that by facing Maidana. Broner went up 2 weightclasses in the same year at 24 yrs old to face a big puncher like Maidana. Floyd may be smarter about choosing opponents, but Broner deserves more respect than Floyd.

Broner made a moronic move up in weight, something a responsible corner would have advised him against. Broner gets no kudos from me for being a ******. The fighters you listed were "serious" threats in your mind, but we've all seen time and again what Floyd does with serious threats on the regular, right? You been paying attention there guy? You say to me "You're smarter than this?" Well bro you're as dumb as a bag of used condoms.

You can go up to bat for your boy all you want. The excuse he had for Margarito according to Kimosabe on this forum was his hand was injured and wanted to be 100% He wasn't even talking that smack about doing business with Arum. Arum just had too many threats in his stable for Floyd. Floyd was going to fight Manny before Manny was scared of the tests, right? All that not wanting to do business with Arum is bogus. And do I get out?? Are you ****ing kidding me?? Ey fool I live in L A the city with no pity. You get your hand shook and your weapon took. Don't know where you from but with weather like Southern Califas, you're smoking crack if you think I don't get out.

Arum's got a crap stable or regurgitated round robins, all with significantly less skill than Floyd, and all would have lost. The thing about fights not happening is that we can speculate either way, but the fact that Floyd is still fighting and winning at this level and the fact that the dangerous stable of TR has gone the way of the Do Do says something no?

Ill make it short and simple. We all saw how much of a lying piece of **** Ellerbe is, come on man. Didn't you see leading up to Canelo vs Mayweather. Ellerbe was caught in a big ass lie saying Canelos team offered for him to drop a few pounds making it a catch weight. In reality, that was Mayweather's request of Canelo. You can quote all you want to on Ellerbe but that worm lost the last credibility he had left in our eyes. You come across like some boxing professor wanna be. Or you are from little Floyd's camp, with all that inside info. Either way, Kimosabe, Floyd is the biggest ducker dodger sucker puncher in the history of the sport that you are claiming to be master of. Keep selling, but no ones buying.

Bottom line is no matter how you wanna slice it and dice it and flip upside down, Floyd is still king of the PPV box office today. And that's even AFTER he took a couple of breaks of close to 2 years when all Pac fans missed him and started calling him back because they can't sleep without Floyd fighting.

And that's AFTER Pac fans predicted he was slow-footed, and shot, and would get KO'd by Oscar, Mosley, The Tree, Cotto, The ghost, and Canelo,

So sit back and watch Floyd become the greatest to lay on a pair of boxing gloves.

doesnt matter where you're at now u ducked the fight then when margarito was peaking. most boxers have short peaks when they are at their best and history shows when they are u avoid them at all costs. thats prob why u are undefeated but we will never know.

Oscar De La Hoya 154 > Antonio Margarito 147. Arum said along time ago that Floyd would have fought Margarito if Arum made the Oscar fight but Arum being Arum didn't want to do business with Oscar so Floyd left Arum and made the fight. Something Manny has yet to do.

[IST-ra-GLEr2]

yaaawn. typical floyd and his girlie feelings. LOL

Oh, you're one of those types that likes to talk in circles.

This is my whole problem with people who go out of their way to defend Floyd; it diminishes your opinion to unbiased onlookers (same goes for any fanatic).

I've saw both Floyd & Manny demolish some of the best boxing had to offer, in their own fashion; and as a traditional fan of the sport believed (& still believes) that they should lace 'em up and settle their differences like the two great warriors I believed them to be. And as a traditional fan I could care less if a fighter experienced a brutal loss or if he isn't as sharp as he was in his prime (neither of them are); won't be the first & won't be the last. Naturally you would want to see the greatest fighters of your generation go at it.

Now that in combination with what I said in my last post makes me find it hard to see the logic or reason behind your argument. Anyone who knows & respects the history of boxing would just think you're a fool.

Edit: Castillo arguably bested Floyd in their first fight, Cotto roughed him up, an old Oscar applied pressure that he just barely dealt with, an old Mosley rocked his world .. Let's stop acting like these guys are invincible or untouchable cause they've both been shown to be vulnerable.

[al-Xander]

Straight from the horse's mouth. Why do business with a coward?
He won't fight at any term, anyway. It's a royal waste of time.
It's not like it's Arum who came up with these tons of excuses.

[-Makunouchi-]

ATG ducker of all time. Non compared! Lmao, I really laugh when floyd opens his mouth and show his cowardness thru his words and actions.

Nothing new! Floyd is a duck!

[AlbanianTruths]

I had to... Lol

"Quack quack quack, quack quack quack Pacquiao quack quack quack Arum quack quack quack i call the shots quack quack quack PPV NUMBERS quack quack quack..." Blah blah blah... Make the fight happen or shut the **** up and retire with the asterisks *Never fought Pacquiao*

Enough with the Bull**** already.. You're a fighter, your job is to fight. To be the best you have to beat the best and continue to move forward.. You NEVER heard of the true legends
ALI, FOREMAN, LEONARD, HEARNS, DURAN, LEWIS, HOLYFIELD, HOPKINS etc... never duck a fight, they fought the best to prove they are the top guy in the division and the sport...
