    WTF are you talking about? My point is that Mayweather himself never wanted these challenges. His actions prove it. Dude, what other fighter as good as him, in the history of this sport, has been branded a "cherrypicker"? Magazines, TV, Articles online, forums etc etc. Even Spanish media. Everyone says, he likes to choose his opponents. This is about HIM. This is how HE THINKS. You're a perfect example of the fan, who is in denial and wants him to be something he's not. This is not about me wanting him to go to the "trenches". He doesn't believe in himself. He wants the easy route. We would all take him to win vs MOST fighters but he doesn't believe that. After the Cotto fight, he's talking about "Damn he has me thinking of retiring" lol! Are you serious? Is that what he thinks is a war? He doesn't like to be roughed up. It's that simple. You can't carry these fears if you want to be "the greatest".

    Honestly, I don't even know what the hell you're talking about bro :lol:

    the more $$ that is involved in pro sports, the more you are going to see things you dont want to see
    and you know what i'm talking about...dont take the dismissive rout unless you are afraid to lock horns and debate your point of view

    Actions speak louder than words bro. You can say what you want but I've studied him for many years. He isn't who you think he is. Actions speak louder than words.

    floyd, like hopkins, talks a lot of **** - but he still makes all his opponents look second rate

    it would be epic.

    But i hate when people think everone hates on floyd, and will continue to hate on him.

    Its simply not true, i for one am a big floyd critic because he doesn't dare to take the risks that would make him one of the best of all time.

    For instants he has a chance to do something special against alvarez, but i expect him to do what he alwas has done, and find his way to avoid this challenge.

    SR already willing to shoulder the blame.

    "I'm the one that suggested it!"

    ...

    "At this particular time my father thinks that..."

    If Mares and LSC are on there again I'd probably get it. I don't care about the money or Floyd getting paid or the "business". I don't give a ****. But I'm a boxing fan, and this is such a ***** move from one of my all-time favorite fighters that all I can do is laugh at this cooch fest. What a mess. Gasnelo, man. Gasnelo. :rofl

    The phrase "grasping at straws" comes to mind :D
    They wouldn't blatantly lie with no comeback from Mayweather's camp - in this case I tend to believe that the demand of 147 from Mayweather is true and it's consistent with the demands he makes from fighters he doesn't want to fight

    The fact that Ortiz and Guerrero may not have had enough experance going into their Maywether fights. Maybe an indactation to Alvarez and his team that they need more experance before a Mayweather fight.

    I find it funny though how pacquiao fights at 154 (catchweight 150) then says never again it was too big for him.. nobody says a word and says fair enough. Floyd says he's staying at welter now because at his age 154's too much and then everybody cries because canelo wants to fight him.. how does a 22 year old guy make all the demands against a guy whos been world champ for 17 years? If you can't make a guys weight class don't fukin call him out :S Just like in haglers day.. you wanted to fight him you ent to his weight simple as that

    Yes it's speaculation on my part, never claimed any diffrently. Maybe the reason we haven't heard from the Mayweather camp is that negoitions are often a priviet manner. What demands has he made. PED testing? Has he ever demanded that only his oppoents take them? Maybe your going to say he asks for the lion's share of the purse along wiith a % of the gate and ppv? He has every right to do so. Dose he make oppoents fight at catchweights for their championship? Than thrown a nno rehydration clause? What demands dose he make?
