How bad is Floyd's legacy stained?

[Grimgash]

Pac walking is a rumor now? Haha! No the 3 failed is a rumor pac walking is a fact. Haha!

Go on dreaming and forgetting what really happened

Yes pac walking is the truth, it was published on plenty of websites, the drug test thing was a rumor, and to not get sued it says rumor every other line.

As for stained legacy? Both will be hurt by it about the same. You seem to think the board is the only thing that matters, when you talk to casuals a lot don't know why it didn't happen.

oh no I know this board is not the end all to this subject and i know the casuals don't know the truth like many on here don't or choose no to believe but I have said that both are going to be tainted by this.

What you quoted was in response.

Floyd's ducking legacy is irreparable. No amount of explanation will fix it.
It's indefensible. I could see many songs mocking his tainted rep.
You can't do anything about it. That's why I want him to stay ducking.

Uhhhhhh are you joking

"I'm not looking to fight 6 strong champions, you know what I'm saying?"

No I don't. Where is the proof? Plenty of people on this site scream that FMJ is ducking fighters. Where is the proof? Who did FMJ duck? Name a fighter and show some proof.

Maybe you are blinded by Floyd love?

Has Floyd Mayweather fought the best fighters available to him in the last 10 years?

Are you going to give some names or just beat around the bush?

This is a good answer..

Then explain to me why Floyd didn't accept Martinez' offer of a fight at 150.

It can't be because of the weight, as 150 is closer to 147 than 154. Besides, he's fought at higher weights 3 times now.

It can't be because of Martinez' lack of a fan base, as Floyd is currently considering fighting Maidana, and the same Argentinians that will support him would probably have supported Martinez.

It can't be because of Bob Arum, as Martinez doesn't fight for him.

It can't be because of money, as Martinez was offering an 80/20 split in Floyd's favour.

It can't be because Floyd had a better fight lined up, as his next fight was against Guerrero.

It can't be because Floyd wouldn't get credit for the win due to Martinez being old or drained, as Mayweather fought a 38-year-old Mosley and a drained Canelo.

It can't be because Floyd had to fight his mandatory, Guerrero, as he doesn't care about mandatories or belts ("All belts do is collect dust"). He's recently come out and said he's willing to give the belt to Pacquiao to avoid fighting him.

2004

Floyd fought DeMarcus Corley at 140lbs

Was this the best test he could have fought?

No better fighters were about that he could have fought. Tszyu, Hatton, Cotto.

Floyd would go on to fight Hatton and Cotto, but at higher weights (not peak weights) and incase of Cotto, when he was well past their prime.

2005

Floyd fought, Henry Bruseles, Arturo Gatti, Sharmba Mitchell, again none of them were top 3, who were Tyszu, Hatton and Cotto
