Comments Thread For: Arum: I'm Not Sure Floyd Mayweather Will Fight Again

[megadeth]

yes i do blame him. Itys called Legacy. Its more than just money. Just with Floyd it became easy money. When you been hand picked your opponents and marketed this way its easy to have his attitude. His handlers recognize his lack of passion and big headedness. He was forced to take this fight. Manny is the cash out for Floyd. They know Manny will beat him. Its time to say bye bye to Floyd. Thats why he doesnt have it anymore.

Correct. Vegas will fleece him. And he's got such a bad persona, no one will want to see him once he's out of boxing. And good riddance, too.

I'm with his haters! Floyd Mayweather has been hand-picking world champions off career defining wins for YEARS and, frankly, I'm tired of it!

He didn't stay with Bob Arum and fight Margarito. Duck!
He didn't fight Cotto back when Cotto's team wasn't ready to offer Cotto up. Duck!
He didn't fight Paul Williams. Duck!
He didn't fight Pacquiao five years ago and went on to fight Mosley, who Bob Arum, himself, said was a bigger challenge for Floyd. Duck!
Um...Kostya Tszyu. Duck!
Ricky Hatton at 140. Duck!

I don't care if there are always a large group of people that honestly believe that the next fighter is going to be the guy to knock him out, I don't care if some of those people talk about how they feel Zab Judah beat him and I don't care if these people make entire "what if" scenarios off single punches that landed in 12 round fights, they are right: Mayweather didn't fight EVERYONE! And, if he did fight them, he obviously didn't fight them at the right time or he would have lost!

And, if he beats Pacquiao, despite much of Roach's game plan seeming to depend on his legs "not being what they were", then this Pacquiao fight doesn't count and he's clearly ducking Amir Khan, GGG and Kovalev. And, maybe, Andre Ward.

I am not a Mayweather fan, and Mayweather doesn't always take the toughest challenges; but to say that he's ducking GGG and Kovalev and possibly Ward is quite laughable. How does welterweight duck fighters who are middlewts, super middlwts and light hvywts!!!
Did he miss some big fights - Margarito, Williams, even a fight with Martinez4-5 yrs ago would've been doable, as Martinez was a small middlwt; but to say that hes ducking 168-175 lbers? Have you ever heard of weight classes? is he duckin Klitchko??? lol

LOL hand picked so they sad that Diego Corrales was a top fighter that was suppose to beat Floyd then there was Gotti at the time was a top fighter then you had Baldimire that no one wanted to fight because the was knocking people out Zab Zudda that was considered as a top fighter Ricky Hatton undefeated Oscar in his prime and at his original weight not DRAINED Canelo just a list a few and you consider those as Shany Mosley hand picked? LOL so why did Pacman go behind him and fight Oscar DRAINED Cotto DRAINED Maragerto DRAINED and then fight Brandon Rios lol and the Model Chris Algieri come on man stop hating

You are right about Mayweahter!

Imagine what terrible things people would say about Pacquaio if he: handpicked Genaro Hernandez when Hernandez was the world champion at 130; handpicked Diego Corrales when Corrales was an undefeated wold champion at 130; moved up to 135 and handpicked Jose Luis Castille after Castille won a world championship at 135; called Ricky Hatton out at 140 when Floyd knew Hatton wasn't ready to fight him, even though Hatton had 30 fights at 140 at the time and Floyd had none; handpicked world champion, Arturo Gatti; called Cotto out at 140 when he knew that Cotto wasn't ready to fight Mayweather, despite having spent his entire career at 140 and holding a world championship belt; handpicked Carlos Baldomir after Baldomir won the 147-pound lineal championship from Zab Judah; handpicked Oscar De La Hoya at 154 pounds and earning $20 million instead of fighting Margarito at 147 for $8 million; handpicking Ricky Hatton, who was by then an undefeated world champion at 147; and then, the kicker..... retiring when Cotto's team and fans decided that he was finally ready to fight Mayweather.

What a bastard!!!! If Pacquaio did all of this instead of fighting world beaters like David Diaz and fighting six rematches against opponents that he had already fought, I would hate his guts too.

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

Floyd will retire when his contract is done arum stop worrying about Floyd and worry about pac getting his ass kicked

You forgot, handpicked Judah after he lost to Baldomir, who had 10 losses.. and It wasn't DLH instead of Margarito.. it was Baldomir instead of Margarito/cotto/cintron (believe was a champ not sure) Williams/ Martinez..

Gatti was well on his way out.. forgot handpicked marquez and forcing him up 2 WEIGHT classes and didn't even make the contracted weight, forgot he handpicked Guerrero, handpicked Victor the quitter Ortiz, he handpicked Maidana after a Broner win..

good business moves is all I say!

Wait, so you're saying Floydie isn't the biggest ducker ever? Yeah, others have chosen opponents, but no where near the level of ducking Floydie has done. Not even close.

So it's levels to ducking lmao?
