First of all. I am a grown man. The only person I ever have to answer to, is my Daddy. It was "Dead" that made a comment because I said Floyd doesn't have any balls and doesn't challenge himself. Keep in mind that I wasn't even talking to him and don't know who he is. Unlike Floyd, I'll fight ANYBODY. I am not a professional fighter but I can fight. Sparring sessions with strangers can be dangerous for both parties. Boxing is not a game and just because someone challenges you, doesn't mean anything. This is just an example of men being men. If you comment me with respect, I give respect. If you comment me calling names and being disrespectful, you are going to get disrespected back. PERIOD.First of all. I am a grown man.

Okay.
What are we fighting for, again? It was you who disrespected me over a comment I made about Floyd? And it's true, too! You have more balls than Floyd, even. He may be one of your favorite fighters but he's making his fans look bad, man. Fight the best or stop all of this TBE garbage. Anyway, Floyd fans always wanna "fight". Isn't it ironic.Comment

This is what kills me about this board. A man fights fighters coming off fight of the year candidates, career defining wins, top 3 in division, and champions, yet he doesnt challenge himself. But in the same breath will praise Manny for fighting a guy 2, 3, and 4 times even though Manny never lost to him. So Manny is challenging himself by fighting someone 3 times who he has never lost to?First of all. I am a grown man. The only person I ever have to answer to, is my Daddy.

how is that the same. so if you made a million euros/pounds/dollars and everybody around you took it before you could spend 1 euro/pound/dollar is the same as you spending all of the million euros/pounds/dollars on whatever you wanted? in the end you may be broke but at least you had fun with what you earned spending it your way vs. others spending it for you.Spending all your money and having other people take it from you is essentially the same thing.
I have to admit I find this particular type of topic pretty boring and irrelevant, mainly because I am British not American.
However...
I think Floyd will eventually run out of $$$ if he maintains his current spend.
I didn't realise he had his own private jet, that type of extravagance hits really hard.
The reason why rock stars and actors maintain a huge lifestyle is because they have a) A much longer career b) Have sustainable income from royalties and c) Generally have better advisers d) have more expenses paid for them.
I don't think Floyd will ever be short of gas money, but he may find it harder to maintain his current lifestyle.
Pac man is different - he is clearly less materialistic, and may have a income form his other interests, also his lifestyle in the Philippines is much more easier to maintain.Comment

You're just some keyboard warrior on here constantly talking ****. I'll beat some humility into your ass. You're always running your mouth on here. You also have made the dubious claim that you are African-American in an attempt to give credence to your pactarded ramblings. Hell, you want a few weeks to train or something? I can even direct you to the nearest reputable gym by where you live.What are we fighting for, again? It was you who disrespected me over a comment I made about Floyd? And it's true, too!

It's a difference........
Floyd is a special fighter. Manny is a special fighter, also. it's been proven that Manny WILL fight anyone. That cannot be questioned. Can you say the same about Floyd, honestly? No you can't. He's a prize fighter, not a legacy fighter. Manny was a HOF'mer before he moved up two divisions to welterweight. It was that run that made him a legend. He's a junior welterweight fighting bigger guys and not folding but getting the better of them. To me, he still hasn't lost clearly since the first Morales fight. He beat Bradley both times. Roidquez is all of a sudden, bigger and stronger at his advanced age. So those fights don't count in my book. Floyd's win over Canelo was a legacy fight BUT Floyd had to drain a fighter in Canelo, who was muscular and didn't have two pounds to lose. He lost muscle. It wasn't fair. Floyd would've won with his experience anyway, but the power and speed of Canelo, made him do the catchweight. Let's see how both fighters finish their careers. Every opponent Manny faces, can beat him. Every opponent Floyd fights, he has to have some type of an advantage. What does that tell us about him? He's a bully and not good for the sport. Does he really think he's TBE? Or, is he a bit insecure about his own abilities? I just want to see the best fight the best. My favorite fighters take challenges. They take fights not worrying about losing. And for the record, I respect Floyd. He's a great fighter and HOF'mer.Comment

The bolded, underlind, and italicized has not been proven. Manny has fought 4 fighters for a total of 10 fights. Now if you want to give him credit for "names" he has fought, sure then he has fought any and everyone. But its not always about who you fight, its also when you fight them![B]Floyd is a special fighter.

Keyboard warrior......
This is where you're wrong. I beat people up on the street. I don't mess with anyone who don't mess with me. Be careful what you wish for "Dead". I don't understand fear so you could've kept that comment. You do not scare me and I can fight. If you ever hear me "talking ****", it's because somebody talked **** to me, first. I don't care if you're the President, I don't tolerate disrespect and I am one of those guys you don't want it with unless your will can match mine. Like I said, what are we going to fight for again? Floyd's honor? **** Floyd and I am sticking to it.Comment

This isn't about Floyd dumbass, its about you constantly namecalling and other **** on here you coward. The only thing you've ever beat is your meat lil' girl. You can put your elite streetfighting skills to the test against a decade of kickboxing training.This is where you're wrong. I beat people up on the street.

Lmao look at this little p*ssy running away saying "I can't fight you because I'd beat you up too badly." This would be in front of combat sport professionals with headgear, mouthguards, sparring gloves, and properly wrapped hands. It doesn't get any safer than that. Keep hiding behind that keyboard Sally.Comment
