Fighters know deep inside when they cannot beat somebody.

Floyd thinks that he cannot win.

That's the only sensible answer man. I've always thought Floyd would beat PAC but his refusal to fight him, or even discuss him, has made me second guess my opinion. The last quick fighter he went against, Judah, looked great for four rounds until he disintegrated mentally, as usual. Floyd knows his limitations and won't fight outside of that realm.

this avatar could use a bro or two. just sayin.

Why? His choice.

No external pressure??? That fight got more mainstream attention than most of the regulars on this site have seen any non-heavyweight recieve. As opposed to now, when there's pretty much an indifferent attitude towards it from the masses.

As for the Showtime contract. I still don't understand why if they're losing so much money on Floyd. And a Manny fight is the only thing that saves this thing from being a colossal failure. Why hasn't anyone at Showtime come out and said it? What do they have to lose by coming out saying, "this thing has been a disaster." And, "the only way we won't look for options to terminate the deal is if Floyd fights Manny." And, "we are perfectly willing to work with HBO and Bob Arum to make it happen." But they've basically backed Floyd. To me, it just doesn't make sense to help someone lose you money.

it is called corporate image or say corporate dignity, if one can call it....

sho will grin and bear any losses but won't put themselves in a very embarrassing situation...

any moves on floyd vs pac will be done very discreetly at first until a final contract is a done deal....

Or its called, people outside of executives at Showtime have no clue WTF they're talking about. And get on the internet giving their opinions, and try and pass them off as facts.

Thats about right. Lenny and his dad want him to fight Manny, so floyd fires them! Hahahahaha. Floyd literally has no testicles.

Someone better.

Someone better get a handle on it home boy. You're career is going down the shi**er. You get no respect, you deserve no respect, and 80% of your fans do not by the PPVs, they shoot people, do drugs, beat women and donate ***** to every beyotch and ho who lets them park in their garage. I would rather be me than FMJ any day.

jesus the guy is absolutely terrified of Pacquiao. How can anyone defend him?

I can safely say I've never seen a top fighter so terrified of a potential opponent as floyd is of pacquiao. It's weird cause most people would probably have floyd as favorite if they fought. but I guess floyd isn't one of them.

The end of Gayweather Jr's career is he's going to be dead-broke... Al (Hymen) Haymon, is going to be ******-rich when he's done with Jr.... Hahahaha!

I'm curious homie. Why was Roger's job never publically threatened when he was head trainer and mentioned on several occasions that Pac wad the fight he wanted most for his nephew? And this was at a time when people actually gave a **** about the fight happening.

Thats what I ment by that you answered your own question.

[bigjavi973]

He didn't say he planned to negotiate a fight or wanted a fight either. HE said that he was never offered and never pushed for a fight. So how does he want the fight, when he does absolutely nothing to make the fight at anytime? Cotto said himself, if it didn't happen, then it wasn't the right time for his career. So now you know better than Cotto too huh? Let me guess, cuz it makes Floyd look bad?

Wow you are dumb. Cotto was in position for a mayweather fight after his victory over mosley. The reason why mayweather fought mosley years later was cuz mosley was ranked number 3 after he beat margacheato. Margacheato got that position cuz he cheated cotto. Again, cotto was in that position to land the fight after his victory over mosley, but a month later in dec, after his hatton fight floydie "retired". YOU CANT NEGOTIATE OR TALK ABOUT A FIGHT WITH A FIGHTER THAT "RETIRED".
