    I'm not so sure Khan see 12 rounds with Matthyse. And I understand styles make fights but what's so troublesome about Thurman's style?

    He hits hard. Ok. Floyd has fought tons of those guys. Thurman does not dance around the ring all night long. He likes to trade blows and would get picked off by Mayweather, imo...

    I don't see how he troubles Mayweather anymore than Canelo. Ppl act like Canelo fights like Baldomir or something. SMH
    I'm talking about how a Floyd/Garcia fight would play out. Not how Garcia/Matthyse played out. Danny is slow and flatfooted. He's had success by swinging with his opponents. I dont see how this would be effective against Floyd. Especially when Floyd knows that there's 1 punch to look for. The left hook.

      Got it. Thanks for the schooling.
      Yes there's no denying what occurred. He can be 100-0 and still not have all of the respect of other ATGs. I bet if he had just 1 loss, half his fan base would be gone since that's all they hanging on to. He's not a very likeable guy in and out the ring

        Oh really? Shoot us the details of that contract that Pac signed. I can pull up all the details of the one Floyd signed. Lets lay it down side by side and see which one is more reasonable.

          I wouldnt say it was the case for all his fights but there's no denying that he didnt receive some ref assistance in his fights with Hatton and rematch with Maidana.

            Is it not obvious by now the A side being May has been calling all the conditions already?

              "A source with knowledge" claims he signed. I have a video of Mayweather saying he signed that contract. I've also got links that say not only that he signed the contract, but that the contract was retrieved by Yahoo sports. If Pac signed that contract, there would have been a fight.

              http://www.examiner.com/article/mayw...fight-pacquiao

              The two sides had a contract drawn up that both sides that nearly got signed before Pacquiao balked at Mayweather's testing requirements.


              The video is of Mayweather saying not only that he has a copy of the signed contract, but also showing off the gear that he had made ready for the Pac fight. It's common knowlege that Pac backed out because of drug testing, so I don't know how this "source" claims he signed that contract.

You gotta be kidding....only Floyd fans can turn a blind eye to those shenanigans. Those are not the tactics of an ATG.

                If any of you have played Street Fighter...it's like being thrown every time you get close to your opponent. Super cheesy.
                There is nothing cheesy about throwing in Street Fighter. I never understood why people get whiny when I throw them.

                  Even the game developer knew it was cheesy....i mean there was even a different icon awarded for wins with a throw.

                    "On December 5, 2009, ESPN reported that Pacquiao signed a contract to fight Mayweather on March 13, 2010. Shortly afterward, Pacquiao denied ever signing a contract to fight Mayweather, telling FanHouse, "There are still some things that need to be negotiated."

                    Shortly after, he agreed to fight Clottey. Guess that "source" was full of ****e.

                      He disagreed in the window for drug testing I believe. However he has since agreed to Olympic drug testing
                      Of course once that is agreed upon, May come up with fight must be signed thru TMT, no Bob Arum, feather gloves, in MGm grand, Kenny Bayless officiates, yadda yadda yadda. It never ends.
