I keep seeing the same idiotic posts every day on this forum. Does anyone understand that Floyd Mayweather doesn't do business with Top Rank? I mean, how hard is it to understand that he doesn't like BOb Arum whatsoever, he feels like he wasn't able to progress when he was part of the Top Rank stable and most of the attention in TR was given to the Goldenboy at the time when FLoyd was coming up the rankings.

You don’t tell a fighter to quit his promoter and then maybe you’ll fight him. That’s like saying, “I may fight you if you lick the soles of my shoes. On camera. Naked.” What he’s really saying is “I won’t fight you.”

When was the last time Floyd fought a TR fighter? It's been well over 8 years now. I think people need to understand the business aspect a little more as to the reason why Floyd hasn't fought Pacman, or Bradley or Ruslan or whoever else is in the TR stable.

Now if Floyd wouldn't fight the top fighters in the goldenboy stable I'd be a little cricitical of him. But he's been taking on the best they have to offer and he's wiped the floor with the entire GB stable. He wiped the floor with Mosley right after Shane just demolished the universally recognized WW champ in Margarito. He beat up on JMM when he was a GB fighter and considered the # 2 P4P fighter in the world.

He crapped on Guerrero who at the time was undefeated in close to 8 years and came off a spectacular win over Berto. And Canelo was widely considered a top 7-8 P4P fighter especially after his impressive win over a previously undefeated Trout.

Let's not pretend like Floyd is actually scared of Manny. He's bigger than him, has almost a 6 INCH reach advantage, is a MUCh better technical boxer and his defense is considered by many pugilist as quite possibly the greatest ever (can make a claim for Pep, Whitaker and benitez being in his league defensively.)

I'm a fan of both Pac and FLoyd, and at this point I'd just like to see this fight happen so Floyd can demolish him and I can come back here on ESB and see everyones pathetic excuses as to why manny got manhandled.

Some of Mayweather's fans are drinking the kool-aid... Wake up people, he is an extremely talented boxer, but he isn't interested in fighting the best. He is a top quality fighter with no will to fight. He doesn't want to be the best, he wants to take your dollar bills at the lowest risk possible. He doesn't respect you, he wants to use you. The Mayweather devoted are the fan equivalent of a battered wife, which is oddly appropriate with Mayweather.

Have you ever criticized a movie or a book? Have you ever directed a movie or written a book? You don't have to be a professional in an area to level criticism, just smart enough to see the angles for what they are.

Of course it's a joke but as Mayweather said, it's about working smart, it's about taking as little punishment as possible for the highest reward. i.e., it's about taking on a glass-chinned Khan who wobbles when the wind blows and not about fighting someone who throws 70 punches per round

wobbles when the wind blows

I thought Floyd didn't want to fight Pacquaio because of his terrible PPV numbers against Rios? I can't keep all of Floyd's lies as to why he won't fight Pacquaio straight.

As for the TS, Khan is absolutely no threat to Floyd. Floyd is feather-fisted above 135 pounds but Khan is going to make him look like a prime Thomas Hearns in the power department.

Bald_Toad · Dec 24, 2013

you're damn right he is, khan will solve the puzzle

lolercakes · Dec 24, 2013

Khan will have 9 months of training with Virgil come may 3rd. I won't be suprised if khan wins.

str1 · Dec 24, 2013

Yes, Khan is a threat to Floyd. Lol

Awesome post. Finally someone who understands...

Mayweather is a cherry pickin chicken and Khan can't take a punch. A match made in heaven I suppose, that will be sold to the ignorant public as an all-time showdown between two of the greatest fighters on the planet...:rofl

In the meantime, real challenges are ignored..:deal
