    Floyd has made a sh!t load of money off the gullible fans who paid it.

    But his legacy will be who he didn't fight.

    Can you imagine Ali ducking Liston, Frazier, or Foreman just because he might lose?

    Floyd is too old now anyway....and his legacy is permanently tarnished.....and a lot of fans really don't give a sh!t anymore.

    Bye Bye Floyd.

    Pac's legacy will be: "it's depends on my promoter, Bob Arum."

    floyd doesnt need pacquiao to seal his legacy its the other way about

    pacquiao has only really won against weight drained world class oppoents like cotto and de la hoya... floyd stepped up to 154 to fight cotto and de la hoya

    On PTI Floyd apparently said there is an 80% chance he retires. I am surprised no threads popped up on this. Is this true? That would suck if so. "5 fights." "I want Pac next." What the hell...

    Pacman has been ready to rock-&-roll numerous times.

    FYI, Fraud has recently been inducted into Ducks Unlimited Hall of Fame.

    I just hope in the future (if the fight doesn't happen) the general public consensus doesn't end up as "The man who didn't fight Pacquiao" i mean look what happened to Larry Holmes. :-(

    Both Floyd and Pac are going into the hall of fame. Pac isn't sealing anyone's legacy right now. He just lost to Marquez

    Agreed! and the age thing showed up on saturday as well so I agree there, and anybody who wants to blame this on Arum get your ****ing head checked.

    The fight can happen Floyd has to be willing to want the fight bad enough to allow Mannys team to be involved, but he doesnt want the fight he says testing now he wants all the PPV money, he doesnt want arum involved etc....

    Bottom line here is if you really want the fight Arum isnt going to be a factor, he isnt going to hinder your ability to fight is he? so whats the ****ing problem? you dont like him? big ****ing deal thats life

    No PPV Money for Pac? are you kidding me? the man carried the division and faced everybody you were expected to face while you got cold feet the man deserves his cut....

    Anyhow you are right the mans age has caught up to him Floyd is not the type of fighter to just stand there like that, and anybody who says he is changing his style for the fans STFU already with that

    LOL, not when he bows down to his white promoter who has no interest in making the fight, and refuses to man up and demand the fight because he is a puppet.

    Let him continue to make his measly purses while Floyd's sets records. Pac needs to get smart, leave Arum and start making some real money. :deal

    I believe it will quite possibly be the other way around, with top fighters lining up to take the tests.

    when future boxing people, not so emotionally attached to Pac Man look back at the list of excuses he gave to avoid taking one, it will speak for itself. IMO.

    Fraud has already said the fight is not going to happen.

    In 5 years nobody will really remember Fraud....whereas everyone will remember Pac kinda like Hank Armstrong for moving so far up in weight an kicking a$$ along the way.
