    I am an adult. I understand not everyone likes Floyd. My only problem is the constant backtracking aand revisionist history when Floyd wins a fight posters said he wouldn't.
    I thought you were going to tell me all the sht I was talking in the lead-up to Mayweather-Mosley where I supposedly denigrated Mayweather and hyped Mosley. I didn't ask why Berto-Mosley didn't happen I know it's because there was a natural disaster in Haiti where Berto lost family, what I asked is why Mayweather-Mosley didn't happen straight away. So lets go over it again.

    1.Sht I talked and who I picked to win (I'm curious of this one) Mayweather-Mosley.
    2.Why didn't Mayweather-Mosley happen right after Margarito.

        1. where did I post that? I already made the point about how we view the shane fight. The revisionism is my issue.

        2. floyd was "retired" when shane beat margs. He came back in Sept 09 to fight jmm. fought Mosley in May 2010 after the Jan 10 berto/mosley fight was postponed.

          If you think floyd won that fight then that tells me all I need to know about your boxing knowledge and lack of ability to bypass your bias, you should also have realised I meant Castillo, but you didn't even pick that up nuffy, so who is the casual ****head, there is your bottle to suck on

            oh yea...thats right, the guy who never beat Marquez clearly once and lost to a past prime erik morales in the decade.......

            the guy whose trainer received undeserved accolades as well....trainer of the year but lost most his big fights that year...it was 2015 and i think 2012

            ."save your pity for the weak!!"

            that award was just as pitiful as ronda rousey getting fighting of the year when mayweather had beat Manny that same year

            anyone with a brain know these accolades are popularity contests to many outlets.

              Let's look at the background to floyd, called pacquaio a drug cheat, was taken to court, as soon as the judge agreed to floyds drug test results being admissible floyd paid a mountain of money to pacquaio to settle, then has a dubious IV right before their fight, only fights in Vegas because that's the only place on earth that allows him to inject his hands, refuses to come out and fight maidana until he changes his gloves from horse hair to pillows, come in heavy against Marquez to get a distinct advantage, have you guys all forgotten all of this

                  Knock him all you want, but he was voted fighter of the decade.

                  In that decade Pac fought more fights, fought and beat 3 ATG's, and fought through more weight classes than Floyd. Meanwhile, after a great first half of the decade, Floyd coasted through some decent wins and a 2 year "retirement" while his weightclass was stacked. In other words, Pac provided more of what the people wanted than Floyd and he was rewarded for it.

                  For someone whos trying to play like that award means nothing, you sure seem emotional about it.

                      Pacquiao is fighting guys like Jeff Horn and Chris Algeiri yet you want to criticize Floyd for fighting Berto? When Berto has accomplished more than either of those guys?
                      Come on son... just stop.
                      Barera was prime when PAC beast him. That version of barera was just about AS good as barera ever was. Having wars dfont make you poast prime. It means your experienced a d ready for anything in future fights. Which barera was against PAC. That version of barera is better than anyonee Floyd ever fought anyway.

                      How many fights had PAC had when Floyd beat PAC?
                      PAC had been koed 2 fights prior sand was gun shy when he fought Floyd. Was SSM prime when Floyd beast him? Was dlh?

                      You can nit pick PACs career. But after you've done that, PAC is still greater than Floyd. He's more memorable. More exciting fights, trilogiues. You name it, PACs given you it.
