Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Will Retire Undefeated, Says Morales

[hitking]

The reason for this is, Morales was not in strong contention at the time. It was Hamed, Marquez, Barrera and Pacquiao at the top of that division. Floyd called out Hamed, but Hamed ducked him. Barrera went on to destroy him while Morales went on to destroy Pacquiao. Barrera and Morales tangled while Floyd was off getting championships. Floyd was always focused on big names, and I firmly believe if Hamed had not ducked him, Floyd would have destroyed him instead of Barrera, and he would have targeted Morales after Morales destroyed Pacquiao. Morales/Mayweather would have been, at the time, a beautiful fight, with El Terrible getting outclassed to a stoppage.

First off, I don't think its fair to say Hamed ducked Floyd. During that era, it was Hamed, Barrera, and Morales who all ducked JMM. If memory serves me correctly, Hamed may have even dropped a belt to avoid JMM because Juan was his mandatory. The Barrera-Morales rivalry started at 122, I believe on the debut of HBO's BAD series. Manny really wasn't even in the equation. Once Pac hit the jr featherweight division, I believe Barerra and Morales had already moved up to 126, with Barrera's classic embarrassing of Hamed. And it was after the Barrera-Morales rematch that Pac got a shot at Barrera. And Pac actually moved up for that fight. It was almost a stay busy fight for Barrera. I have always respected Pac for his next move, which was giving the longtime avoided JMM a shot. He didn't have to. He just man'd up where Barrera, Morales, nor Hamed would. Then after the draw with JMM, Pac moved up to 30 and lost to Morales. To say Morales destroyed Pac is an overstatement.

All in all, Floyd was never really seriously considered as an opponent for any of those guys. Floyd was calling out the DLHs and Mosleys of the world. Even when they were fighting as welterweights and he was a jr lightweight. Hell, he almost signed to fight Winky Wright at 54 when he was still fighting at 30. The only fight Floyd kinda left on the table at 30 was 'Popo" Freitas, who had just beaten Casamayor. But by then, I think Floyd was having trouble making 130 and moved up to fight the top guy at 35.

It a ****** statement that has zero merit. Half of the so-called people he "ducked" actually ducked him. Who are these so called "plenty of people that are involved with the sport" that say this? You know what's funny? cotto who probably ain't even a top five win for Floyd would looked at as by far the greatest win on 33 year old GGG's resume .....a guy who **** 99% of nsb loves to suck.

HAHAHA!!! Daniel Geale is GGG's best win in a decade. Hell, him beating Geale, Rubio, and Amada warrented him being the fighter of the year according to these ass clowns on here. But I've learned since being on this site. "Plenty of folks" means the other 15 obsessed fux on this site to these mutant, inbred piles of dog****.

He's not wrong. Haha dumbass floyd fans. Its not enough floyd is retiring undefeated but you don't want to admit he cherrypicked his way there? Ok fine. All of floyds opponents were in their prime. Happy?

Marquez was the WBO mandatory.

IIRC, Team Hamed petitioned the WBO 4 times to request a deferment.

Actually, whats up with that ?

If I recall correctly, Morales was one of the few fighters who gave Pac a chance to beat Mayweather?

Morales was either wrong before the fight, or he is wrong now.

But, he is a legend, so I support him 100%

Moron, now Pacquiao was in his prime when he fought Mayweather? Pacquiao has been done since after the Margarito fight. You're a joke. Can't take you seriously as a boxing fan. If you can't see Mayweather picks his opponents at the right time, than you're an idiot, straight up. Why did the fight take 6 years to make. Back in 2009 Pacquiao was destroying guys, funny how they didn't fight till 6 years later. I wonder why.

Your the joke.. Your a "real" boxing fan? When i read your post, real is not the first thing that comes to my mind.Your post seems like the excuses from a common fanboy.. I feel for you, your love and hate dictate your emotions,your not a "real" fan, your not even a real man.

[Rolaz]

Let him announce his retirement now, he can't even put down a defenseless dummy...with a slap? can't punch?!
