nice. another thread that has nothing to do with what is blocking the fight now..... its only a money split now, which floyd isnt budging on......which is what i said would happen when you start to agree with his other "requests" such as extra testing.. "whats next" if they agree on a money split...it will probably be something.....**** is boring.....if floyd wanted this fight, it would be in the record books already
You are smoking crack if you think Barrera was in prime when he fought Pac, coming off brain surgery from blood clots and countless tough battles. And who the hell know JMM in Pac I? who knows Pac at that time too? Yea he was in Prime but he was no ATG at that time and it took 5 years before they rematched. so gtfo with your nonsense.
who? no one gives a **** about him....he should be seen in not heard and quit trying to be an attention *****
Mayweather told Brian Kenny on ESPN that he was coming back "to steal some more money"..don't know why he would say something like that when he knows boxers earn their pay more than anyone..guy had a plan to make as much he could taking as mininal risk as possible
Ariza the man that rubs Manny down. The man that Manny didnt listen too so Marquez got in that ass here is a picture This content is protected
Dodong and fighting pride. You two better check yourself before you wreck yourselves. You two are obvious not equip enough to be arguing me with me about Boxing. How the hell you going to accuse of Floyd's competition and then put Pac's on a pedestal? **** doesn't even make sense. Barerra was already being written off as a shot fighter by boxing experts when he got beat pillar to post by junior jones twice and then lost to a hard brutal battle with Morales. not to mention that he almost died from a blood clot from brain damage. AND YET you have the nerve to say he was in Prime. And then you have the nerve to say that Marquez was already an ATG when he fought Pac. Who the hell did he beat to be consider an ATG at the time or the second time????? Please answer me that. After that Draw, he lost to Chris John, and beat a over the hill Barrera. SO ATG worthy already? In prime? Both wrong fool. You might know some of what i'm talking about if you actually folllow boxing instand following Pac's nuts. Unlike you guys. I like Floyd and Pac even though his fans are one of the most dumbest posters on ESB. That is not going to influence me and I still respect Pac as ATG fighter. You guys are so crazy that just bc Floyd is Pac's rival you guys feel the need to bash one of the greatest boxer that we got. Why don't you guys just go ahead and say that all current boxers is **** except for Paciqauo and get it over with?
Marquez and Barrera will be ATGs, lower level sure, but I expect them to make most people's top 100. The Marquez that Pacquiao fought from 126-130 was his prime years, he just wasn't as hyped as Morales and Barrera were, and that is why they didn't want to risk fighting him, too much risk for little reward. He certainly was not prime at 144, and at 135 was fighting past his best weight and physical prime.. And you trashing Barrera like that shows you don't know what you are talking about. He was coming off the Hamed schooling and two great fights with Morales and had re-established himself as a P4P top 5 fighter. The metal plate myth is just that, a myth and an excuse. I remember they were saying this before the Hamed fight, when he was the smaller guy moving up, as if it was a ready-made excuse. If you believe the rumors he was fighting with a metal plate in his head since 1997, and that includes the Morales and Hamed fights. If he had a blood clot from brain damage, he would never have been allowed to fight, atleast not under the major boxing commissions in the US and for his two fights in the UK and would not have passed every single one of their stringent physical tests (eg. Joe Mesi) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JzeOPOi8w8[/ame] As for Mayweather, he has not fought elite fighter with ATG ability who was not shot or old, and him refusing to fight Pacquiao confirms to me he's never wanted to. I didn't say anything about Pacquiao's fights or put him on a pedestal. Mayweather constantly shitting on Pacquiao's achievements, he brings such criticism on himself. Mayweather's record is very good, but his resume is not as great as he makes out and he certainly is not the greatest fighter ever like he claims. He refuses to prove he is the greatest today. The way he rubbishes Pac every chance he gets to prop himself up in his media propaganda campaign, it seems he wants Pac to just go away. How can we know how good he is when he avoided the greatest fighter he ever encountered for 3 years now in being in the same division?
Hatton gasping for his life, scared the crap out of him. He was all excited to fight Pacquiao before that happened. Remember he came out of retirement right after Pacquiao DelaHoya, announcing it's time to make a lot of money, as he said. Then he came out and announced his opponent as Marquez the day of the weigh-in of Pacquiao Hatton, trying to upstage Pacquiao. Then lo and behold silence after the fight. Then the PEDs talk started, first with Floyd Sr., then the rest of the Mayweather clan, Floyd jr. joined in, so did the GBP boys. What was the question again? Is he scared to fight Pacquiao? NO, HE IS PETRIFIED!!! Oh just to validate that, remember Floyd complaining about how important his health is, don't force him to fight fighters he doesn't want to fight. Says family is important than anyone else. Says no one is going to pay his bills if he gets crippled. Says if Ali can take it all back he will. Uses Pacquiao's name to promote his fights like "yes Pacquiao you're next", then after the fight, "i never said that". But it's the result of the Pacquiao Hatton that started this dog and pony show. The answer to your question is yes, yes, yes.
