    Took Pacquiao years to recover from the KO loss he suffered at the hands of Marquez, you can debate who ducked who from 2010 till the KO in 2012, but nobody was seriously calling for the fight after that untill 2015 when the fight actually happened, Floyd kept winning, Pacquiao got KOed and needed time to build back some momentum, can't blame Floyd for Pacquiao getting KOed and delaying the fight almost 3 years.

      Pacquiao shouldn't have had the JMM fight before the Floyd fight but Floyd held everything off because of his cowardice.

        I also remember the look on manny's face when Floyd stepped up to him at the bball game.

        manny's wife looked uncomfortable also.

        Floyd's symbolic gesture made the fight happen
        yea wouldve never happened without it...he pulled top ranks card and manny's

            Maxi constantly says Lara doesn't bring fans or worth money whenever its regarding Lil'G. But when it comes to Floyd, Floyd has no idea about money...

            Ironically Floyd admits size handicaps at his highest weights and started from 130, yet "Lara doesn't bring money" for Lil'G and fans, but Lil'G publicly admitted 154 for Floyd. Lol

            Floyd said to Abel and K2, fight Ward, and the fight will happen. This is even during retirement... "My focus jussss 160..." but, 154-168 since 2013 is easy..

            Lil'G is a fraud

                You can literally see the relationship between Mayweather and Merchant/HBO deteriorate over those interviews.

                A lot of these dudes wanted no parts of 'Pretty Boy' Floyd, but the haters on here only know 'Money' Mayweather.

                  yup...He and Roy used to get it from Merchant....George and roy often had to put merchant in line because he trolls guys,even after they win fights

                  often times floyd was respectful, megawatt smile, almost like Arum was promoting him to be a mini Leonard but you could tell it wasnt natural

                  Merhcant even said Gatti fight wouldnt happen after he beat a guy, forgot which fight


                  Their comes a point when you realize their is nothing you can to please certain people.

                  this didnt happen for no reason





                  if I got head butted like that I would have done the same thing and idiots who call floyd dirty would have too...boxing is a fight, not a hugging match...how many times does he have to apologize for something he did blatantly (ortiz)

                    When Floyd was at the bottom of the food chain....NOBODY wanted to throw him a plate....I remember Shane catching a sweet tooth, I remember Larry Merchant telling Floyd to his face that Prince Naz would never fight him....I remember Pacman catching needle phobia....as soon as Floyd became the banker, everybody wanted to see him....but when he was high risk, they stayed away...FACTS!!
