Why do posters continue to discredit Floyd's resume because he ducked fighters???

[JHAVIS]

The funny thing is that PAC wouldn't do the testing with Floyd but is testing for all his fights now but Floyd was ducking him. The fool also turned down a career payday, 40mill. If that isn't the biggest duck of all time!

Same excuses .... Instead think for yourself for once. Floyd didn't bring up roadblock #2 until Manny agreed to roadbock #1. Then Floyd moved onto roadblock #3 and #4 ....

BTW, Manny countered with a higher amount. So it was Floyd who never countered back, hmmm.

Floyd was called out by Sergio Martinez but we heard crickets from Floyd's side. He also avoided P. Williams.

"Arum took the $750,000 from Mayweather to avoid being in the way if De La Hoya came calling."

Don't twist it up now!!!!

Quote: "because Bob was going to line him up with tough fights."
Totally absurd!!!!

Floyd brought out his contract so that he would be in a position to fight ODLH, who at the time was also at odds with Arum. It has nothing to do with ducking any Arum contracted fighters. To state facts Floyd was walking through all of TR fighters at the time and Arum absolutely wouldn't support a match-up with ODLH.

"Arum gets along with De La Hoya the way colors do with Clorox. I swear, Arum would prefer to see a De La Hoya fight lose millions rather than make millions from a fight of his own. "

And even the article clearly explains the logic behind going after an ODLH fight for 23million+ versus hanging around with Arum and fighting Margarito for an alleged 8million of which 30% would go right back into Arum's pockets.

The above in not open to interpretation by twisted Floyd haters ... It is factual and easy to understand 23million > 8Million.

You guys must think all guys on the web are ****** and will believe any BS you scramble and collect from articles.

All the BS you guys post attempting to support your ridiculous claims can be refuted with actual facts easily. And the more facts are presented, the more ridiculous the attempts at debate become ......

SMFH!!!

WRONG, like usual.

Arum waited on Floyd to take on Margarito. It could have been a 1 fight deal but Floyd took on Baldomir NOT Oscar!!!!

If Cotto can go and come back to Arum then so could have Floyd. At least for one fight at a time. Floyd could have had the best of both worlds and make everyone happy but Floyd instead took on Hatton then retired instead of trying to get a fight with Cotto.

Bob had Margarito waiting for Floyd, Floyd bought out his contract because he didn't want to fight him, even though it would have been for his highest payday at that point. Its pretty common knowledge. Even the most ardent Floyd stan knows this and never really disputes it.

[AllBoxingAD]

Whats funny is that while people claim Floyd ducked Margarito, everyone forgets the fact that Floyd was trying to land 2 fights post-Arum.

Mosley in November and Hoya in May.

Mind you both of these guys are much better, much more accomplished and much tougher fights for Floyd then Margarito would have been.

Not to mention the fact that they would land Floyd a ton more money then Margarito would have.

People have made Margarito into something he is not, and never was, just so they can say Floyd didnt fight "the best".

[Augustane]

Because hes too calculated and methodical with his picking of opponents. He is fighting a guy who lost to Pacs sparring partner, whilst Pac fights Bradley, Floyds future superfight.

He lets Miguel Cotto fight Sergio when all this time people wondered when he was going to. Never takes risks. Drains Canelo, yet SSM didn't even feel the need to do that at his advanced age.

Too much about the zero and not trying to show how good he can be.

This post basically sums it up. It isn't the actual ducks, but the way he carried out avoiding the fighters. He was blatant about it. At least teams like Pacquiao's and Canelo's do a good job of 'trying' to justify their decisions.

[MurkaMan]

Resumes do count. It's one of the reasons why the Klitshchkos don't get the respect their fans think they should get. Re fighting more people - styles make fights and upsets happen.

If the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl III decided not to take on the Jets as a result of contract negotiations we all *know* that Green Bay would have won. But that's not what happened.

The fact that Mayweather didn't clean out his division counts against him in all-time rankings.

Resumes count, but your not going to sit and try to explain that he didnt dominate enough top tier opponents in shockingly onesided fashion enough to be the most skilled fighter in history. No fighter in history could take Floyd's resume, his power, and dominate them all without being grazed. It will never happen. He is probably the best ever based on skills alone, but no one wants to admit that.

Would you honestly work with a previous employer, that you had to sue in court for stealing your earnings ?????

Come on son ... Be real here!!!!

So why was he willing to work with him on the Pacquiao fight at first?
