    Why would anyone duck Floyd? He was a guaranteed big pay check from about 2006 onward and a guarantee of very little damage.
    If you were 100% unbiased you'd post the truth-that he brought out his TR contract because Arum wouldn't give him the purse he wanted for cotto nor try and make the ODH fight. He fought Baldo ONLY because Baldo upset Zab, whom floyd had a fight already signed with. He made more for the Baldo fight.

    What floyd didn't do was avoid the guy who beat zab, unlike Manny that avoided Raheem who beat Morales when he had a fight with Manny already signed.

    Ask those fighters on Twitter or Facebbok why they made the decisions they did. My guess, they would lose by a wide margin in a way that might make fans not want to purchase future fights. I am sure that is why Manny walked away. I agree that physical damage was not a major worry.

    Why do you think they made these decisions?

    just be 100% unbiased and post the facts.

      Post the video of Floyd pissing his pants when Margarito confronted him and getting real pissed off when talking about the size of Manny's head lol. Floyd's a vag man, those are the facts. He has taken fans on an absolutely appallingly boring ride.

          if you truly believed this you wouldn't spend so much time on NSB talking about him. Truly boring fighters are not discussed on NSB.

            Toney's win over Nunn was an big upset, Floyd has never been that much of an underdog to any opponent so he couldn't have a "better" win.

            The truth is Manny, Corrales and Mosley were rated as high or higher than Nunn was when floyd fought them.

              No that's not true at all. Manny maybe, because he is who he is. The others, absolutely not.

              None of them were coming off the wins against the level of Tate, Kalambay, Curry, Starling & Barkely IN SUCCESSION.

              Not even close.

                He is totally objectively a boring fighter. And people are aggrieved towards him because he has a huge proportion of the spotlight undeservedly. Limelight which should be for more exciting fighters that give more to the fans in terms of excitement.

                Mayweather is boring man, it's just the way it is, facts. Boring as fook! You people defend him because people attach themselves to winners in sports and other areas to bolster their own lagging self confidence by revelling in their supportership.

                  It's not about upset. Leave the concept of underdog/favourite at the door. We are talking about quality of win here, irrespective of who the favourite was.

                  Michael Nunn was a beast and peaking when Toney fought him. One of the top 3 boxers in the world in an unbelievably talented era. He was just behind JCC and Prime Pernell Whitaker in the ratings, let that sink in! Are you trying to tell me broken down Pacquiao with half his prime punch out-put or Diego Corrales (lol) can compare to Michael Nunn in his prime? Really? Come on boy! 100% biased fool you are! Old Mosely thrown in there too! lol

                  You are not to be taken seriously you 100% have Floyd scrote slapping of your perineum daily.

                    So let me get this straight . . .

                    Are you implying that the 2010 Shane Mosley, Corrales and 2015 Pacquiao were on level or higher than was Nunn at his peak? That their skills or resumes from recent fights & results before we're on par or higher than Michael Nunn's?

                    Please tell me you're ****ing just kidding around?

                      Tate, roldan and then Kalumbay were dominant wins. Starling and Barkley were like SD's they weren't blowout wins IIRC. Also,curry was 1 or 2 fights removed from losing to some French dude.

                      The point is Nunn was a damn good fighter, but he was wide favored to beat Toney. This fight made Toney. Floyd, unless you count Genaro, never needed a fight to "make" him.

                      I am in no way disparaging the Nunn win for Toney, but a huge upset is always bigger and better than non upsets.
