    we know the testing was just a bluff though. history bears that out so you dont have a leg to stand on there. basically what you are saying is that floyd would have done something completely different then he did in reality. in reality he didnt fight manny when he got everything he wanted. in reality he changed the money from 50-50 to a comical 40 million no ppv. does that sound like a guy who wants the fight? its easy to put up roadblocks but when those roadblocks are removed and you still dont fight. you dont get to take the high road of saying i wanted the fight. you just dont.

    go look up the floyd vs winky negotiations. literally the same exact thing happened. this was his MO. he never thought winky would agree to a rehydration clause...oh sh-it he did...I WANT MORE MONEY! why live in an alternate reality?

      So TS says if you say:

      It just proves Floyd is TBE because he's always the favorite in every fight, then

      You might as well say GGG is also the best ever.

      I see the point.

          ggg was so good he was the favorite in all his fights. thats what they are saying. oh sorry thats what the people who said ggg wasnt a risk taker because he was the favorite in all his fights are now saying as a counter argument to why floyd was also the favorite in all his fights. thats much easier than simply writing they. i dont want anyone to get confused here

I haven't even put forth my own argument. I'm just exposing a bad one and yet I'm a fanboy for exposing other fanboys bad arguments? it was a silly argument thats all. it doesnt mean you cant love floyd. you still can. dont worry
              Debating what argument you have no argument to back any of your statements, he was not betting fav in all his 49 bouts, but when he became betting fav it was because he was an exceptional talent in the making.

              With Mayweathers record to say there were no risks is stating he was head and shoulders above the rest, I dont think he was that good just a head above the rest of his era, without a doubt in my mind and Ive followed boxing for 50 yrs Floyd was the best of his Era.

              And it happens to be during the dawn of the internet era where every moran beats a drum, Leonard Robinson, Ali, Duran Hagler and all the rest of history's greats would all be normalised loved and hated in this very same internet era, greatness will forever be distorted when the masses have easy access to gossip.

              There is a Ward tube where Andre goes on about how if Floyd cannot get his dues after what he has done what hope does he have, its an interesting video touching on the real side of fanboy thinking in the internet age.

              Youre a fanboy that hates people you will never know, I like boxing the sport and I look at fighters based ONLY on there ring showings I just dont get the hate from you guys, I just dont get it, I can only take it that 98% of you have never boxed.

                    enter the mind of a floyd boy...

                    person A "hey ill give you a hundred dollars if you mow my lawn"

                    person B "no, thats ok i dont like those terms"

                    person A the next day "hey ill give you a hundred dollars if you mow my lawn"

                    person B "ok"

                    person A "oh i meant ill give you 5 dollars."

                    person B "..."

                    floyd fans empathize with person A here. the grifter. the liar. the cheat. they think person A would have given person B the money if person B had just done it the first time!

                    I feel bad for them and their lack of understanding of human behavior. i think they are susceptible to a lot of scams if they really believe that. i hope they dont get any emails from nigerian princes!

                      floyd changed the money. do some research please. also research the winky fight so you can see the same pattern. you dont change the money from 50-50 which would have netted both guys 250 mill plus to only 40 million no ppv if you are serious about making the fight. you can not dispute that. you have no answer for that. that was a fight killer and you know it. instead you chose to focus on things that happened before floyd killed the fight pretending like they mattered when you know what floyd did afterwards yet ignore it.
