As i mentioned before. Floyd career ended with Berto. Floyd had no belt going into the Connor fight. We knew it was an exhibition disguised as a prize fight. Floyd came out of retirement for the fight went right back into retirement after the fight. That was a money grab. We knew why Floyd as well as Connor wanted it sanctioned, and that was to hit the magic "50-0".
Manny Pacquaio is a legitimate champion in a legitimate division surrounded by no shortage of fighters. I have no problem with Pac retiring and do what Floyd is doing. But, to stay in the sports, hold a belt and do this, is unacceptable. By all means, join Floyd, Mike, Roy and those guys doing exhibitions. Don't hold a legitimate strap and do this.Comment

Now, you have legitimate fighters (Ryan and Manny) doing exhibition fights and holding their respective division hostage.Comment

This Ryan/Manny possible fight highlights everything that is wrong with the mindset of posters who are fans of very popular fighters.
The guys that are ok with this fight have spent the better part of a decade complaining about ducking, mismatches, meaningless fights, guys not taking tough fights, and a whole host of other things that in their opinions hurt the sport. Yet once again when popular guys do these things, the same guys will find a way to be ok with it.
If the ryan/manny fight happens-Manny will be ducking Spence and Crawford, Ryan will be avoiding Haney and Tank, and we will have a meaningless fight that stalls 2 of the most prestigious divisions from moving forward.
Come on guys, if you have real issues with things you need to have the same issue when a guy you like does it. If not, just admit that every pro is out here trying to make as much as possible and fights for money over legacy.
Stop trying to make a couple of boxers virtuous and the rest bad. The guys you love are just as greedy and self centered as the guys you hate.Comment
