    If these very knowledgeable boxing people keep saying this thing and i think everyone knows and will agree that floyd will only fight if all the terms and his demands are meet and also pick the the right timing when to fight that opponent.

    Is this type of boxer what you call a natural cherry picker?
    What did he say? It's not about working harder but smarter? He had every right to pick which battles to choose as he got older because he no longer had anything left to prove.

    As he became older, he became more of a celebrity/television personality and a savvy businessman rather than a boxer. Which is how the Money Mayweather brand was born.

      If every fighter could do what May did, they would. FACT

      No one turns down $100mil paydays and no one is going to hand out those checks to Pac. Not without May.

      Pac fans are obviously bitter about their hero playing 2nd fiddle. If May comes back tomorrow, he will once again be the face of boxing. Pac won't even be an after thought.

      I would respect them more if they were less obvious with their agenda.

        It's so true. Floyd was more concerned with leaving this sport with his health in tact and with a lot of money. Which makes him a very wise businessman in my book.

            No doubt; It's a fact as Floyd gotten older he took fewer risks because he no longer needed to. He was already a pay per view draw and had his choice of any opponent because his guarantee was etched in stone since he fought and defeated De La Hoya in 2007 and also with his six fight $200 mil dollar deal with CBS in 2013.

              People say Pac is great -
              Allowed himself to be robbed by a teacher !
              Face planted and died for 2 minutes vs JMM !
              Needed every advantage vs DLH and Cotto !
              Won titles vs Margarito and Lucas ?!?!?!?
              Keith Hurtman was a solid win (7). Had Hurtman been in better condition health wise, who knows ?
              Bradley was a good name as well, if grossly out powered. Nothing Timmy did was going to faze Pac. No need for 3 fights.

              Pac's entire WW resume is shady.

              No one Pac faced would stand a chance vs May and Pac fans hate it.

                I agree. He started cherry picking every opponent when he become a welterweight. Floyd has fought guys when he see it as a beatable high reward fight. I was actually a fan of floyd before he became a welterweight.

                  To Floyd's detractors every opponent he faced was either past his prime or before his prime, and yet they act as if Floyd's prime lasted his entire career. The truth is, Floyd was already washed up himself by the time he fought Shane Mosley. His hands were brittle and he had already lost a step, but he kept on winning.
                  They hate Floyd, it’s as easy as that, and the TS is a pinoy who thought Manny would beat Floyd.

                  Pac should fight Canelo, because Floyd beat Canelo, and let’s see if PAC can do it too!

                    Pac fans isn't bitter at all because pac was more recognize by the people as the greater boxer and his accomplishments are so ****ing unbelievable.
