    He'll go down as one of the biggest What Ifs in history

    As somebody who claimed to be the GOAT, and probably had the talent to be that great, but lacked the balls to prove it in the ring

    he'll also be remembered as The Man who Ducked Pacquiao and will be forever reviled for denying us fans one of the most important boxing matches in history

    Ducking Pacquiao precludes him from being a tier 1 ATG. Doesn't matter if he would have won the fight hypothetically, his refusal to pursue the fight counts as a default loss. Interesting how most of Mayweather's accomplishments exist in the realm of hypothesis.

    Business is business Floyd would want to bigger share, "the biggest share" win or lose. He wouldn't agree with this kind of proposition.

    It ain't about a legacy..it's about getting paid, but if Floyd wants to be remembered as one of the best he has to fight pacquio, it's simple as that this fight has to happen within 1 year ...people say Floyd doesn't need Manny but if they don't fight he will always have his doubters over time, and the fact manny wants the fight and Floyd doesn't creates controversy, I'm not pacquio or mayweather supporter as I basically support Australian fighters, but to me and what I read it comes across in plain English that Mayweather's team are not chasing this fight, if he did beat pacquio he would be worth so much more globally I don't really understand the economics of it.
    I guess team mayweather are happy playing the risk and reward factor game

    That statement in simply wrong. First off, you don't make the rules. And your rule of a default loss is pathetic, even if it were true he ducked him. Second, Mayweather did pursue the fight. I thought, with Mayweather's ego, the biggest obstacle with the fight was going to be the money split. Mayweather offered 50/50 in the FIRST negotiation. If he really didn't want the fight then, he would have offered something ridiculous like 75/25 knowing they'd never accept that. He was very reasonable in the first negotiation. Even with the cutoff date of 2 WEEKS before the fight. That's plenty of time if the blood test actually does affect him, which it probably wouldn't. The fight didn't happen because Pac refused a simple blood test. Deal with it.

    Floyd will be remembered in the same breath as Wlad Klitschko imo

    As the dominant fighter of his weight class during this period of time, but without a single outstanding W on his record.

    The difference is Wlad never had much of a chance due to the lack of quality opposition at HW.

    Floyd had his chances, he just chose not to take them


    Yet Pac accepted random urine tests at any point, and to be blood tested immediately after the fight. If Pac was juicing, there's no way he could have cheated the drug test. Deal with it *****s, the tests were just the excuse Floyd was looking for so he could duck the midget.

    Void, Sr. said that Void, Jr. would never fight Pac, he said that right after Pac stopped Cotto, something that Void could not do..................Void is extremely afraid of Pac and everyone knows it. Pac Vs. Void would be the biggest PPV event ever, but Void is too afraid.................Void is void..........

    I'm not a ***** and again you're wrong. Why be reasonable and negotiable on EVERYTHING, including the drug testing, if you're trying to duck someone? Makes no sense. And think about it, all Pac had to do was say YES TO A BLOOD TEST and the fight would've happened. Wow, when you flip it like that, Pacquiao ducked the sh!t out of Mayweather.

    Except Pacquiao eventually said YES TO A BLOOD TEST and the fight still hasn't happened.
