Steven A Smith beef with Floyd...how can you take Floyd's side here?

[GoldenGloveLove]

What Stephen said made no sense. Think about it. What about the fight not happening now makes it any more proof it's Floyd's fault than the fight not happening at any other time? If BOTH camps can't come to terms ten times in a row, and nobody really knows what's up but them, then how come you gonna blame one of them for the eleventh time BOTH camps can't come to terms? Nothing's changed. It's just not going to happen between BOTH of the camps. Mayweather can not snap his fingers and fight anybody in the world no matter who the fighter is, what channel they on, who their promoter is, who their trainer is, who their manager is, etc. Makes no sense to up and blame Floyd now if you didn't before.

I don't agree with smith with the canelo rematch, that is only a money grab, Carnelo was none competitive and Floyd pot shot him all night long, flat footed and can't pressure Floyd. I agree with a cotto rematch but Floyd won't, he openly said cotto hit him hard to the body and was his toughest fight, cotto revived his career under roach, and made him more aggressive, Floyd don't want that especially how a less aggressive cotto was able to give him trouble.

I personally want to see Floyd versus khan if no PAC fight happens, I like styles, and we never seen Floyd fight a mover with fast feet and hands, khan would present a style match that could give Floyd trouble. We only see Floyd fighting tailor made opponents.

Khan could beat Floyd by flurry in and out, khan has crazy work rate and speed combos.

Floyd is the draw, he's the money. He's lebron james.

Whatever fight he wants is the fight that gets made. Pacquiao vs Mayweather is a gold mine of revenue. That fight is guaranteed money.

All that needs to happen is for Floyd to green light it and it will sell itself. There are no obstacles because everyone involved will make millions, guaranteed.

There is no other fight out there. Once Pacquiao and Mayweather retire, boxing will probably be dead for a while until another box office superstar shows up to carry the sport. They've been grooming Canelo for that spot, but it has yet to be seen if he can sell a million by himself.

Maybe if he annihalated Trout and Lara, and did better against Floyd(or beat him,) the public would take notice, but that's not what happened.

[jqSide]

He's already assuming Floyd would take Khan next and avoid rematching Canelo and Cotto. Where is he getting that from?

[hypodermical]

Wrong; I'm a huge Floyd fan but he has been acting like a nut lately. This incident is just dumb, Stephen A Smith has always rode for Floyd and now he says one thing that Floyd doesn't agree with and Floyd acts like that???? Man listen his act is already old and whack to me and as big of a Floyd fan that I am, I just want these last two fights to be good so he can GO...

Floyd has been like that through out his whole career/life. Everyone respects his boxing skill and of course he's cool with that, but any time he gets criticized about anything, he goes on super defensive mode gets super agitated. Even when the ones criticizing him are huge flow mows like Stephen A.

He's unprofessional. Thats just the way Floyd is. He's insecure and can't handle criticisms correctly. He can't even fake it in public.


This story makes me laugh though, knowing how big of a Floyd **** rider Stephen A is/was. Skip must be enjoying this so much.

Floyd is losing the plot as many people with considerable power in the spotlight end up doing.

Recent events;

1) Court case and going to jail
2) on going public dispute with 50 cent
3) Ms Jackson episode and now lawsuit
4) Ongoing criticism about his choice of opponents and boxing style

He's become paranoid and seems to think the whole world is against him including those who have supported him from day one. Someone needs to sit him down and have a word because it's only going to end in tears.

[Mr. Objectivity]

floyd is a certified B1tch...........he is a pvssy ......his fans deserve him no doubt...........

[StefanTosic]

Anyone who thinks Floyd is in the right these days is not a boxing fan. Anyone who thinks Floyd in the right is simply a Floyd fan. Those people DKSAB.

Well that's true, seeing that there is Floyd's hardcore supporters even on this board who acknowledge that Floyd is being crazy lately, however there is still some cult followers who can be seen over here, still defending him after all because they aren't boxing fans but formost floyd fans and cult followers with Floyd as their leader, and they are just casuals in this boxing game. Don't get me wrong I even saw a few irrational pac worshipers on NSB, they exist for sure, and I hate them as much as floyd worshipers, but here we are talking about Floyd being on his pre-menstrual period and these guys are so ****ed up, ****ed up to that point that they are still defendin him...

[bluebeam]

Cotto Canelo still a better choice than....

so you would rather pay 70 dollars too see Floyd fight 2 guys he already beat over 70 dollars too see Floyd fight somebody new?

im not saying Floyd should fight khan next, im saying that he should fight anybody not named canelo or cotto next

[bluebeam]

and a khan fight benefits him how?

nobody does anything for Floyd except manny pacquiao, yet the fight still hasn't happen. so if it's not pacquiao next, then who?
