That’s the attitude of boxing fans that don’t like Floyd. Any non boxing person can say anything negative about Floyd and it will be posted here and agreed upon by trolls and people who don’t like the way Floyd talks and acts.

Monte Cox is a bit of a hack. Honestly, find me a boxing historian who isn't. From Richard K Foxx and Nat Fleischer to Burt Sugar and Tracey Callis, basically everyone I've ever run into in any form always alluded to having some special, secrete, information no one knows about.
Crack their books, read their articles, trace their sources, then tell me the primaries they source themselves say what they claimed they said.
I spent the vast majority of my historical fandom putting down their lies and laying to rest their rumors.
I don't have any issue with the point of this thread, just, **** Monte Cox.

This is Monte D. Cox. Member of IBRO. Not an MMA guy at all.

And ducking Pacquiao, an opinion of his. Like Floyd was supposed to know Pacquiao would reject a 50-50 split because of blood tests. Sure, yeah, the truth is that Floyd ducked everyone, period. No matter what, end of discussion. Right? Every fight that didn’t happen when fans wanted it was his fault. Mosley’s toothache and Pacquiao’s fear of needles. Top Rank’s smear campaign over Floyd is only believed by those who don’t like Floyd for their nationalistic/racial/cultural differences. If you’re just a fan of the sport and are giving every fighter the same benefit of the doubt you give your own favorite fighters then yeah, this “historian” is full of crap.

Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.
Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.
"That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."
And Shane Mosley? All of those excuses on why he wouldn’t fight Floyd at 147 in 2006.
“I have a trip planned”
“He needs to fight Margarito, then we can fight.”
“I have to fix my tooth first”
Pacquiao in 2009-2010? “I’m afraid of needles”, “No random drug testing 30 days before the fight”, “Talk to my promoter, Bob Arum.”
Come on, this is all old stuff. Every duck that a fighter committed on Floyd is documented.
