    "You can tell Floyd Mayweather that Bob Arum says he's delusional. Floyd is not the attraction. Manny is the attraction." - 06/02/09

    "Even a 50/50 split with Mayweather is nonsense." - 5/31/09

    "He's just a problem and a head case and it'd be very, very difficult to put a match together." - 09/10/09

    "People don't want to spend money watching a defensive fighter. That's the problem." - 09/10/09

    "Mayweather will not engage his opponent and that makes a stinkin' fight." - 09/10/09

    "People know Mayweather now. They know the son of a gun doesn't fight. He fights scared." - 09/10/09

    "The fight that should be made is Mayweather and Shane Mosley, but Mayweather won't take that fight." - 10/7/09

    "Cotto probably beats Mayweather. I think Manny probably beats Mayweather and I think Mosley beats Mayweather." - 10/7/09

    and just think that Mayweather swaolled his pride and made 50-50 when Bob wanted more for Pac, agreed to 10 mil every pound over, man one of the biggest ducks ever. and thats coming from a Pac fan

    Haha. True, true.

    I was actually just thinking about the way JMM knocked him out. He set him up to jump into it.

    Mayweather is the master at that. Look at Hatton, for example.

    I just want Mayweather to fight him already and cement his legacy.

    There is a lot of people on both side of the fence. Didn't Larry Holmes say Money is scared of Pacquiao.

    Obviously, there is people who truly believe that. That should serve Mayweather as motivation.

    I posted these quotes on another thread


    The excuse Floyd fans make for him are insane !

    George Foreman
    Mayweather Jr. has also been scrubbing for some easy opposition to face and make his millions. Fighting Ortiz was something Floyd should have been embarrassed in doing. No, not because Ortiz is a bad fighter, but because Mayweather Jr. is in an entirely different league.


    It turned out that his friend's daughter bumped into the former heavyweight boxer George Foreman while they were inside an elevator in Texas. When asked about what he thinks of the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight, Foreman reportedly said: 'Mayweather is afraid to fight Manny'

    Larry Holmes
    “Pacquiao did all he can. He did all I would have done. I think Mayweather just got a little too scared if you ask me. If he thinks Pacquiao is taking drugs so what, he should just say: ‘You take it, you kill yourself that isn't going to help you, because with my talent and ability I believe I can still beat you.' But he was scared to take that challenge. If they never fight it won’t be Pacquiao's fault. Every time they came round to fighting Mayweather put his excuses in,” Holmes said.



    Bert Sugar

    I think the blame lies entirely in Floyd's corner. Manny has never had anything to do with steroids, not only as he says, but as the tests show as administered by the best boxing commission in the U.S., the one in Nevada. Floyd considers himself the greatest fighter ever, having never lost. He says he's better than Sugar Ray Robinson, because Robinson lost a fight or two. He has tried everything and anything to get the better hand, call it oneupsmanship, in a fight. He has dictated terms. He has pushed envelopes. He has demanded things of his opponents, even going so far as to get medical records of his opponent before a fight. In the buildup to the fight with Pacquiao, he pushed everything he could to get the better of weight, ring size and use of gloves. He also tried to get something that has never been done before - random blood testing. Calling for Olympic random drug testing. What he has done is listen to his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr. Floyd Sr. is positive that because Manny started at 106 pounds and is fighting at 147 (of course he forgets his son did the same thing).


    Emanuel Steward
    “On the other side of the Pacquiao-Mayweather situation, Mayweather is scared to death of losing his unbeaten record, totally petrified. I never thought he would do that. I really only see a 50/50 chance of these guys stepping into a ring to fight each other.”

    I think he's just stating the obvious. Floyd is a level above the the pack. Including Manny of then and now. I do think Manny of old would of been an interesting fight, but he would of still lost. Let's be for real people. Fighters less then Floyd have beaten Manny. Marquez fought Manny then and now, and gave him all kinds of problems before laying him to rest. Marquez is no where close to Mayweather level. He takes more punishment, he's not faster or a better counter puncher. Yet he beats Pacquiao. People quick lying to yourself. Despite how you may feel about Mayweather outside the ring, he's still better then most including Manny inside the ring.

    Yes you do need to be informed.. If you knew anything about the past of Floyd, Oscar and Arum , you would know why they do not do business together. The only way you would not be aware of this, is if you just started following the sport with in the last 2 years or never followed Floyd's career at all. If you're to criticize, or accuse the man of being a coward at least know a little about his career.

    AS far Marquez vs Pac . Marquez did ask for testing, but because Arum and Pac where running the show the request was denied, up until Pac got KOed holding his dick, then and only then did testing become an issue with Pac .

    Which bring us back to Floyd, Arum and Pac .. Floyd is not going to Allow Arum to make a dime off his name PERIOD.
    Second Floyd is not going to allow Arum or Pac to dictate negotiation fight, money or promotion and vise versa !

    I hear where your coming from, but what would that really proof now. Pac is not the same he used to be, and Floyd still has not declined. Floyd will get nothing but back lash for beating Pacquiao now. Every bias and hater alike will pull the same card. Floyd waited for him to get old or some BS like that. Even though it was Pac who stopped the fight from happening when it should of happen.

    A fight with Manny is better than anything that is being proposed ..Floyd is more to blame with his constant excuses .This is the only guy left for Floyd to face that the public cares about ..The fight should have been made already. People are going to be giving more backlash too Floyd once he fights either of these two guys because they don't elevate his legacy .A win over Manny does.

    Look!
    Your a dumb ****ing *******.
    Floyd fights who he wants and when he wants.
    Pac has got to earn it, which up till now he hasnt.
    He has got to beat Bradley, which is a going to be tough.
    Bradley is real good and has more tools than Pac.
    If Bradley wins, then its Floyd vs. Bradley in September.
