Why do people demand Floyd fight the toughest opposition out there but not Pacquiao?

[-Kev-]

Brook is being mentioned, by Top Rank.

Khan, Thurman and Maidana are Haymon fighters and Canelo is too big.

Compare Brook being mentioned for Pacquiao as his next opponent, who "won" the Mayweather fight, to Golovkin being pushed for a Mayweather opponent, who was just "beaten" by Pacquiao. And yeah, once you start to actually think about it, it sounds pretty stupid. Like actually say it outloud, "Pacquiao beat Mayweather, he should fight Brook next while Mayweather shouldn fight Golovkin."

Disclaimer, Mayweather beat Pacquiao 9-3 imo.

The above doesn't get you to be considered anything except for being delusional or you don't know boxing.

For one, remember where the above names were at the time they fought Floyd.

They were better and not CWed than when they fought Manny but you danced in the streets then .

Youre such a whiny back peddling fckhead

There is a difference yet Floyd fans do not get it.


How dumb does this sound?

"I will be ecstatic if Floyd goes for another belt at 160 against Cotto." - Floyd fan

"Why do you want Floyd to fight GGG, you haters" - Floyd fan

You did the dancing here and you know it. Does one need to explain everything to you?

Asked you this in the other thread because you didn't bring up how CWs are evil. What if they fight, Floyd vs GGG, and Floyd demands another CW? How will you consider Floyd with yet another CW to drain his fighters?

compare brook being mentioned for pacquiao as his next opponent, who "won" the mayweather fight, to golovkin being pushed for a mayweather opponent, who was just "beaten" by pacquiao. And yeah, once you start to actually think about it, it sounds pretty stupid. Like actually say it outloud, "pacquiao beat mayweather, he should fight brook next while mayweather shouldn fight golovkin."

This isn't the 1960s-1970s...

Except Ali didn't just say it, he went out and backed it up. Actively challenged the best of his day, called out Foreman when everyone said George would hurt him, possibly kill him.

Floyds career is so calculated even in a weaker era. And outside of his hardcore fans he is the only calling himself TBE. Good marketing tool...maybe. But the point is he is the one that put it out there, he and his fans can't get made when people expect him to back up his words.

Ali could fight every fighter in the Heavyweight division back then. He didn't have any "roadbocks" in the way like these fighters now have.

Even with that being known, Floyd has fought every fighter that people have wanted him to fight (Oscar, Shane, Pac, Cotto, Hatton, Canelo) and beat them all. Who else is left? No one.

Floyd won't be fully appreciated until he retires for good...I feel that people don't give him credit because he hasn't lost to anyone yet...

[Chrismart]

Probably because Floyd calls himself 'TBE'.

If you say you're better than Ali and Sugar Ray..people expect you to prove it somewhat. Every time.

What I've learned is that you can indirectly tell who somebody thinks highly of, and who somebody is not so confident in. When fans want to see somebody challenged, it's because they think his skill level is out of this world.

When fans make excuses for a fighter not to be challenged, they fear that he might lose.

[CHOWWOKKA]

Yup this post was ether, but you let yourself down here lad.

But in all fairness, I've never heard Pac claim to be TBE or compare himself to the greats. I guess Floyd brings extra scrutiny towards his career when he proclaims accolades like that.

Manny has said he thinks he is the greatest, like I'm sure every professional fighter at one point in their career. Floyd haters like to run with it because they need w.e ammo they can gather. Can't wait to see how they spin this one. The humble, Manny Pacquiao thinks he is greater then Sugar Ray Robinson??
