Originally posted by therealpugilist View Postwhen did he test positive for a banned substance?.....source, article, and date please....If you cant supply that, it just sounds like a bunch of sour g****s your way bro.
Catchweights have been around over 100 years so he didn't do anything out of the norm and he has only participated in a couple
OOOOOH I get it, you don't like his personality.....are you a female or a sports fan, who cares how he acts outside of the ring. Nobody on this earth has to right to judge another person's character or life
When Floyd retired Manny wasn't even fighting at welterweight, Williams moved up in 2008 and lost to Quintana in 2007 when He fought more known proven hall of famers ODLH and Hatton
Margarito lost to Williams in 2007 as well he had no momentum and ODLH was a more dangerous fight at a higher weight
Mayweather left Arum in 06....in O7 Cotto finally was getting some buzz but do you really think he was gonna put the fighter he was building up in with a prime Floyd Mayweather....yea right
Were you even following boxing in the mid 2000s or are you just regurgitating some BS you read or heard....if you actually followed the sport you'd know these facts
Those that Floyd felt the risk was too high, Floyd avoided or avoided until the risk was relatively lower.
Floyd just didn't want to take the risk Floyd. That is why he avoided fights with Williams, Martinez, pre-promoter and retired Oscar, pre-old inactive Mosley, pre-Marquez Manny, pre-Margarito and pre-Manny Cotto and so on .....
What Floyd did is calculate:
"Who am I sure to beat and why? With relatively less risk? Then he is my next opponent.
But just in case, lets stack things on my side
(AKA -get help from USADA, NSAC, judges, ref, .... gloves, CWs, renege on contract, put weird clauses in contracts, plan for an IV and get it, plan for a TUE and get it after the fight.) "

Originally posted by TrueBoxingFan23 View PostLMAO �� Floyd came out of retirement not Marquez! And Barrera and Morales were not prime they were at the end of their career! Marquez arguably beat Pac at least twice before the KO! Now what prime Welters did Pac beat? Not at 144, not at 145 but at 147lbs. I tell you one thing it wasn't Floyd because Floyd got Pac on his resume! LMAO
End of their career? LOL barrera was about to rematch erik morales for their rematch until pac pulled an upset i didn't see anything that morales and barrera were out of their prime. and marquez beat pac twice? GTFO here.

here is what really changed/corrupted the sport.....
They shake your hand and they smile
And they buy you a drink
They say we'll be your friends
We'll stick with you till the end
Ah but everybody's only
Looking out for themselves
And you say well who can you trust
I'll tell you it's just
Nobody else's money
Money changes everything
Money changes everything
We think we know what we're doin'
We don't pull the strings
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything

You think people weren't watching the lower weight classes prior to Jr? The only reason there was MORE attention these days is because the heavyweight division blows. There was plenty of attention on them in the past if you by the history of the sport, and the mere fact that there is practically no heavyweight division anymore is why people turned their wallets towards lower weight class PPVs and focused on the fighters down below.

Originally posted by Chuckguy View PostIn hindsight it's different at the time he ducked them. He held a belt at 154 the smaw belt he defended against Canelo years later. Oh but he couldn't fight them because they were making a name for themselves. Guerrero can't even sell out a bane yard in Gilroy but Floyd had no problem
Fighting him-he undefeated doe he has a belt doe
GGG is ducking Ward and once GGG moves up he will fight degaele no problem then when GGG murks him you will cry that he was a bum.
PAC is way too small that was obvious in the Floyd fight. Floyd looked like a me compared t packy.
Get your sh it straight man.
But Pac was so small right?

Why did Canelo vs Cotto only do less than half of what they each did against Mayweather in ppvs?
And why does May appear 4/5 times in that top 10 with his name holding down all three top 3 spots?
Lol, stay salty, but your lies will always be transparent.

An alleged drug-cheating, ducking and non-entertaining fighter is the envy of all professional boxers and MMA fighters.
If a fighter is as terrible as you claim and makes that much money, then he has changed the sport!
