    1) Liking Manny more than Floyd does not make me a ******* ball licker. I haven't bought a PPV from him since 2010 and didn't even see his fights against Margarito, Mosley, or Marquez III. I like him, but I am not some superfan of his.

    2) If you look around, I have done NOTHING but trash Pac for taking a 4th JMM fight. It's a huge waste of time.

    3) Floyd, IMO, is holding up the fight more than Manny. Floyd wants all the money to himself and I think that's unfair. Manny even said he'd do a 55-45 split. Where has Floyd been since Manny said that?

    I want NOTHING more than for Floyd and Pac to fight and give my generation the best megafight of my lifetime (to this point).

    He said he wants to fight to the age of 37 and retire.

    He's out of his god damn mind. It was even to Floyd being the slight favorite when they entered the ring. :yep

    Because Cotto gave him a hard ****ing fight? His reflexes and speed must have been ****ed up and deteriorated when he fought Jose Luis Castillo too right? Or how about when Judah made him eat several stiff counter left crosses?

    I LOVE Floyd Mayweather, but don't overhype him and credit him for a resume that he DOESN'T have, and he DOESN'T have a Top 20 ATG resume so gtfo

    Cotto would have given him hell in 2008 as well, so **** off. Its 2012, Floyd is still around because he didn't care to take the hardest road boxing had to offer throughout his career. Had he done that, he would have been MORE respected, ranked HIGHER, and he'd be retired already, because he would have done what he should have done 5 to 6 years ago.

    Completely untrue. Hernandez was at most barely a 2-1 betting favorite in the fight when the odds first came out. :bart It didn't take long either to get down to pretty much even.

    If he walks away from the sport now. He's had a very good career. When you compare what he's done in comparsion with other all time greats. Not much more can be asked of him. There is a however with Mayweather. Even at 35 he's still at the top of his game. He should be favored against anyone at 147 & 154. He should also in my opinion take his chances at 160 soon.

    After 20 years Pac and Floyd will be both comfortably outside of the top 20 ATG don't worry.

    I don't think he was 3.5:1 but he was Floyd was the underdog vs. Genaro. Something like 1.5:1.

    :good

    His resume isn't WEAK, but it is not as STRONG as it can be. That's all I've been saying about Floyd.

    If were talking pure skill, that's different. He'd be up there, but overall career and top 10-20 ATG. Not a chance.

    While i do believe that Floyd can still fight on, bc even at 35 he is favorited to beat basically anyone below 160 and that is just insane if you think about it. However, Floyd haven't look remotely close to which i think was his peak at 130. While his prime seem to last forever it is clear that the guy peaked early at 21, he looked untouchable. Seem limitless talent there. 130-to maybe 140, i don't see anyone beating him period.

    Present day he looks good but his armour is falling off. His legs is stationary, reflex is visbly slower. His punch output was 50%, His willingness to get in range is not there and it pisses me off bc i know he ruined his hunger for the game. He is just relying boxing IQ and counter punching now. I know he is Floyd but he is NOT pretty boy floyd.
