Yes the irony:
Before the Manny vs Cotto fight:
"I thought Clottey beat Cotto" - Floyd Mayweather
Before the Floyd vs Cotto fight:
"Cotto is an undefeated fighter"- Floyd Mayweather
The above is not coming from a poster but Floyd himself ......Oh, the irony!
So is Canelo an undefeated fighter?Comment

Did you just join here? We are not talking about current Martinez but the one from when he was still considered a legit 154 fighter. Floyd has fought at 154 3 times now that proves that Floyd can fight at 154. He even has titles and is considered the best 154lb fighter.The P'Tards will literally say anything to deflect criticism away from Manny. There is no logic to be found in anything they say. They will criticize Floyd's choice of opponents, while failing to mention the cherry-picking and stipulations that Manny has become accustomed to.
Floyd beat Cotto @154, Pac wanted to drain him down to welter for a potential rematch. Mayweather gave up 15lbs to Canelo, while Pac fights guys who have no business at welter, or who can't punch at the weight. They claim that Floyd is ducking GGG or Martinez (who are much bigger than him), yet their hero won't even entertain the thought of fighting a legitimate welter. Lol
See, Floyd fans keep on bringing up weight and CWs but forget this:
Before the Manny vs Cotto fight:
"I thought Clottey beat Cotto" - Floyd Mayweather

"Cotto is an undefeated fighter"- Floyd Mayweather
So is Canelo an undefeated fighter? .....Comment

Manny has nothing left to prove now. Marquez and Floyd is all that is left. If Marquez doesn't want it then Floyd is the last fight out there that means anything for Manny.
So that is all that means. Fight Marquez then Floyd or just Floyd.
What you forget is that at least Arum is saying that he wants it. Floyd is continuously saying "I'm not interested in a Manny fight" He said it in 2010 and recently. Also said "Health comes first"Comment

Your logic is wrong and here is why.Not to Floyd. People hate Floyd and in turn hate who he fights because he beats them. Bob was not going to allow Pac to be beaten by a guy that always wins which makes the fans hate who he beats. Bob needed a winner with the perception that he could beat him without ever putting him in the ring with Floyd.
I mean come on, they wouldn't even put pac in the ring with WW Champion Mosley until he was losing. They wouldn't even put pac in the ring with and old De La Hoya at 100%. They wanted him at 147 where he would be dead. Yet YOU think Bob would put him in with Mayweather????? lol Maybe if Floyd was losing...
1) Arum has put his opponents in with fighters where they were heavy underdogs
Arum put Chavez Jr with Martinez where everyone knew the odds were heavily in Martinez's favor.
Now he put Cotto in with Martinez. Cotto is the underdog.
2) Oscar: Manny faced several opponents where he was not heavily or actually not favored to win. Oscar had just fought at 150 so the consensus, including Oscar himself, was that going down 3lbs was nothing. Especially when you compare that to Manny who was one fight away from being at 130. Nobody was giving Manny any chance. Roger Mayweather was interviewed and said it was a joke of a fight because Manny stood NO chance of winning.
Weight issue was never made to be an issue until after the fight. Furthermore, Oscar held all the cards and thought going down 3lb from his previous fight would be a non-issue.
You know the above but pretend to forget the truth about everything going into the fight.
3) Mosley: Whoever Manny picked, it was to be his first fight against a true WW. Fighting the guy who beat Mosley in Cotto, was an excellent pick and an obvious one and you know it. Besides being the guy who beat Mosley, the reason is that Cotto was a TR fighter and brought in more money than Mosley.
BTW: In 2009, Manny fought Cotto while Floyd fought a Marquez who had never fought at 140 nor 147
When was the last time that Floyd attempted to fight someone where he wasn't favored? He had that opportunity against Martinez but ducked that one.
Again, Manny has lost before and a loss to Floyd would have been just another loss BUT Floyd's thing is that he doesn't want to risk losing a fight. If he did, Martinez and Manny fight would have already been put into the history books.Last edited by ADP02; 04-14-2014, 12:13 PM.Comment

Ironically, a fighter who isn't even in Floyd's universe defensively (Bradley) made Pac miss 10-12 punches at a time

Oh, really? I think you left the part where Manny denied the reports of ever wanting to meet Floyd. Let's see how you try to twist this one.A few months ago, Manny was ready to go meet with Floyd. Floyd said that he was not interested in Manny ..... so in summary, the initiative was there but Floyd, like usual, and in so many different ways, has told us that he was never really interested in fighting Manny. Floyd said it in 2010 then again 2013/2014
“I have no plan to go to the US to talk to Floyd. That’s not true,” he said.Comment
