    If floyd fights anyone other than pacquaio then he only earns
    more $ but doesn't further his legacy. As of right now, floyd
    would only go to canastota just as every other fighter that
    has gone in.......as a HOF'er. Not an ATG. If pac retired tommorrow
    he would get inducted as an ATG. That will never change.

    Floyd to fight khan or alvarez on may 5th is my prediction.

    Its like nobody is seeing how silly this is.

    Mayweather has a time, and a place, for Pac to show up and fight him.

    People can say this n that, but at the end of the day, thats the bottom line to me.

    Exactly this. If you are a Floyd fan, from your stand point, this may sound okay. But try and reverse this. Say, Arum has a time and place for Floyd to show up, would that egoistic maniac bow down? This has already happened before, Arum scheduled Nov 13 for Floyd to man up, but Floyd rejected it.

    Neither.

    Back then testing was the issue. Thats Floyd's thing. The date and venue is now Arum's thing.

    For me, if Arum has other plans at another date, he can just say so. If he doesnt have other plans, then whats the problem? Why throw out hypotheticals? What purpose did that serve?

    Imperial Dictator Mayweather has declared a time for the little peasant to show up.

    WRONG. They didn't say anything about drug testing back then. It was NOT the issue. They were saying they rejected it because there were NO NEGOTIATION.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=5393522

    So, if it's true that there were indeed no negotiation, Floyd is right and how dare Arum reserve a time and place without even consulting Floyd.

    I agree with what you are implying here.

    I also remember you calling Floyd a coward for ducking during that same debacle.

    Will you now call Pac and Arum cowards if their reject Floyds offer to present the fans with the fight everyone wants to see.

    The hell it's not. Floyd's only demand still wasn't agreed to then

    do you have short term memory? Floyd announced his fight with Ortiz weeks after Paquiao set his fight with Marquez. Plus they were still BSing on testing then.
    Arum just yesterday said they agree to test under USADA
    I and most Mayweather and neutral fans have no ****ing problem with what Floyd did. Pac's and Floyd's team were both sitting with their big egos not willing to start the negotiation so Floyd's team did it first.

    And to show he was really serious about fighting, he even picked the PERFECT setting

    EXACTLY

    you're a pretty good poster :good

    Can you show me the link to your UNEDITED POST where you said Floyd is a coward for rejecting the Nov 13 date? I think you're talking out your ass.

    They said, they rejected the offer because there were no negotiation. Or are you the one with short term memory? They didn't even brought up the drug testing issue back then. They were all insisting that how will they agree to Nov 13 when there were no negotiation. Did you missed that part when they said that? :huh

    Just yesterday? What the.. They've been saying for months now that testing is no longer an issue. :huh

    Floyd's team did what? Reserve a date and venue without consulting the other party? That's some nice negotiation there. :happy Negotia.... Oh wait, that's NOT negotiation. :deal
