Must Floyd Stop Maidana To Receive Significant Credit

[Fooliun_Smaxon]

B level opponents for the past few years. He's coasting. He doesn't test himself.

Most overrated boxer in the history of boxing.

If Floyd would have fought the following fights, no way would Floyd not get credit. Floyd would have had new fans and get his old ones that he lost back:
- Margarito in 2006
- Cotto in 2007/2008
- Mosley in 2007
- Manny in 2009/2010
- P Williams in 2009-2010
- Sergio Martinez 2010-2013

Note: Floyd didn't even have to have fought all of the above. Cotto, Manny and Martinez and Floyd would not have been called a cherry picker or ducker by anyone.


.

And people still bring up that loser, cheat, disgrace to boxing Margarito. YOU know for sure why the first 4 fights did not happen, you will probably blame Floyd for each instance, but.............

You wasn't even watching boxing then.

[Jack Napier]

no, it's a legit fight to unify a pair of belts
so long as it's not a robbery, Floyd gets the right level of props
and Floyd hardly needs any help to beat Maidana, expect a shutout

[SplitSecond]

that'd be cool

know one is ever expecting floyd to stop anyone, just box to a decision

Arum wasn't about to put Cotto in the ring with Mayweather after he beat Gatti. He called out Mosley several times, not his fault the fight didn't happen back then. He and Pacquiao couldn't agree on the drug testing, blame one, you must blame the other. The other guys you mentioned, no negotiating even took place for a fight to happen.

Mosley cheated to.
Floyd used XYLOCAINE before a fight to get an extra advantage that he would not have otherwise.

What does that have to do with anything? You guys make the dumbest excuses in the planet as to why Floyd should not have fought fights ... just incredible.

Let's start with this fact that Floyd and his fans keep on saying.
FACT: Floyd was his own boss from 2006 to 2014.

Ok, so why didn't Floyd fight all those fights? Let's hear all the dumb excuses ..... GO!

Can you guys please stop with that nonsense?

Cotto
- In 2007, Floyd said that he was not interested in fighting Cotto.
- Cotto has fought everybody. So stop it already!

Mosley
- In 2006, Mosley was fighting at 154.
- From late 2006 to 2010, Mosley called Floyd out to fight at 147. Floyd said NO until Mosley was OLD and inactive for 16 months!
- Many interviews of Floyd saying NO to a fight with Mosley.



Manny
- If Floyd really wanted the fight, he would not have accused Manny of taking PEDs with no proof. Floyd, Oscar and company got sued.
- Floyd has said on several occasions that he is not interested in fighting Manny but then went on the fight Maidana .... what???
- Manny is NEXT .... I NEVER SAID THAT!! - Floyd Mayweather

Excuse of the year by a Floyd fan "Those other guys never negotiated with Floyd" ..... Really? I wonder why?

some people will never give floyd credit. he could build a hot tub time machine and beat prime versions of robinson, griffin, napoles, leonard, duran and hearns all in the same night. all people would do is find some lame excuse to discredit the accomplishment then make gay jokes about his time machine being a hot tub.

he will never, ever get credit.. period.

as far as reasonable fans go he will get credit, anyone who is reasonable can see he deserves it. its not a major accomplishment on its own, but its another top class fighter defeated. a world champion with one punch KO power in both hands, he is dangerous. not a career changer but another solid notch on his belt and another belt in his trophy cabinet.
