Old Bobs a bit of a lad isn't he...After Floyd has fought Maidana he should then fight Manny in September no one wants to see Mayweather Collazo and only the sad and ****** could ever wish for a defence against Amir Khan!

You care entirelyyyyyyy too much about what fans of another man say or think..you like Floyd, you think he's TBE then care about that only...I felt about Roy Jones like many of ya'll feel about Floyd...that too will come to pass and another man will rise in their place. It's boxing bro...the end of the road is near for both...let's just be happy we had two quality warriors in our generation that helped us survive the death of the HW division.

Dude, I've always been respectful towards you. But lately, you've developed an annoying lil habit of putting words in my mouth. I never have, and never will say Floyd is TBE. Matter of fact, I don't really even believe in rating fighters from different eras. Man to man, I really wish you would stop that.

damn i guess another rematch is on the way.

If this is the case, I'm really pulling for Alvarado. I'm done with the Pacquiao-Marquez chapter, there's not enough time left in Pacquiaos career to do another one. Let him mix it up with some new blood.

There isn't a fighter south of the middleweight division that could win more than two or three rounds against Floyd. That's even more evident after the events of last night. I think his PPV numbers will probably start dipping low enough that after next May, Showtime may be looking for a way outta the last fight of that deal.

Yes Don King has but anyone who has been a fan of boxing longer than 20 years knows how King did his..via insane contracts which is not the case here and how many of those fights that King made had Arum behind them..a shhhh ton. I'll put it this way "Rumble in the jungle" would've not have been Rumble in the jungle without Bob Arum on a number of levels..it's well documented. Yes we evolve and rightfully so after all Arum is 82 and on his way out of the game. Yet let's not act like the last 5 years are the definition of what arum has contributed to this sport. GBP themselves has taken the TR blueprint and improved on it..which they've admitted. There is a reason Oscar has the respect he does for arum.

No doubt Arum has contributed but so did Babe Ruth to baseball, Kareem to basketball, Ali to boxing, etc. but now athletes that couldn't tie their shoestrings are making far more money then the greats which means this is a new day. Oscar learned from Arum and when he did he got far away from him as quick as possible and earned money he never would've earned with him. Manny after generating millions of dollars is in debt ****ing with Bob Arum. Of course we respect the pioneers but life is about making things better which is why we have smartphones, electric cars, etc.

I'm a big fan of Pac's and I think he has earned and Floyd fight and deserves a Floyd fight and the public would like closure. However, my pick of Floyd has widened. At one point I saw the fight 116 to 114 but after last night, I see 118 to 110 for Floyd. Pac was having difficulty connecting when Bradley was there to be hit. Think about it this way, Floyd's style is built for greater longevity. But aside from that, both in their prime it would have been a scintillating fight with Floyd clearly winning. Now, the fight has no more appeal. I did not see the old Pac last night, I saw an old Pac.

So U think Pac is RIPE enough, that FRAUD might Stop Punking Out???

Stop being dramatic. Mayweather-Collazo will never happen. There's a good chance that Floyd might fight Porter in September if for some reason he doesn't take on the winner of Cotto-Martinez. People needs to move on when it comes to Mayweather-Pacquiao, the ship has sailed. Manny is satisfied being with Top Rank and fighting the same opponents over and over and will extend his contract to two years with TR. Floyd doesn't care one bit about team Pacquiao and will continue to fight GBP fighters until he retires.

I am the only one who is sick of **tards/diots defending these blood sucking promoters? For the record I've always been a bigger fan of Floyd but I love the skills of both and by the day respect the humility of Manny more! How can guys defend these leeches on both sides? ...... Floyds record is tainted without Manny - to make a case otherwise is blind ignorance! In days gone by these ATGs would have fought at least 3 times and we are reduced to bs pseudo arguments. It is an embarrassment that Khan is even mentioned as a possible opponent for Floyd!

How long did it take for Leonard to fight Hagler, or for Patterson v Liston, Holyfield/Lewis v tyson. This always happens. I hate when people are nostalgic for something that never existed.
