    Because he knows Paquiao would beat him obviously. Floyd doesn't fight great fighters when they're in their prime because there's too much inherent risk in doing so. He shouldn't have deliberately chosen to take the path of least resistance if he wanted the accolades and plaudits that go hand in hand with true greatness.

    Dude stop the conspiracy excuses. "But but but, he really didn't wanna fight him". These Mayweather-Pacquaio negotiation conspiracy nuts kill me. NOTHING is ever real to you people. Look man, when Floyd didn't want to fight someone (ie margarito, thurman) he ignores them completely, he doesn't negotiate with them and devote time and resources into pursuing that person. He pursued Manny and even called his phone once. But he is scared of PAC? He came to the negotiation table and even agreed to the 10 million per pound penalty which is unsanctioned. So once again, how is he afraid of Pacquiao but tried to negotiate a fight with him and agreed to everything? He called Manny on the phone, once again why call someone up that you fear? And what road blocks are you talking about? The drug test? Mayweather is not in control of Manny NOT taking that test. Manny is a grown ass man, stop absolving him like he's a kid. He and his team made the decision to oppose the drug testing that's not in Mayweather's hand. Plus Manny is a chicken for trying to sue Mayweather in court for deformation of character instead of taking the test and whooping Floyd in the ring. Those legal lawsuit threats is a bigger ***** move than anything Floyd has EVER done. If you are so mad about being accused of roids, then take the test and whoop him. How Manny got away with that ***** move is insane. That ***** move was an even bigger ***** move then Floyd letting Antonio Margarito walk up on him in public.

    You guys think everything surrounding the negotiations was a conspiracy. Fukc that, one guy tried to get around drug testing and set up cutoffs and it fell apart simple as that. I've asked you Mayweather-Pacquaio negotiation conspiracy nuts time and time again how is it possible that Mayweather could possibly know in advance that Manny would not take the test? I've not gotten an answer in 4 years. As if Mayweather is such a close intimate friend to Manny that he knows what Manny will and won't do or that Mayweather is some magical Illuminati reptilian shapeshifting mind reader who figured out Manny Pacquaio. Please, Floyd Mayweather doesn't know **** about Pacquaio and probably met in person less times than you have fingers. One guy walked away simple as that, and his fans are trying to save face for him. Fighters duck fighters by ignoring them. But of course, the negotiations were all a conspiracy and you can't convince people who think everything surrounded Pac-Floyd is a giant conspiracy.

    My questions remain.

    1) If Floyd is scared of Manny then why did he negotiate to fight him?

    2) Who walked away from the drug testing, Manny or Floyd?

    3) How would Floyd have known in advance that Manny wouldn't take the test?
    A) Tarrot Cards B) Illuminati Mind Control C) Voodoo Magic Spell

    4) Why did Manny sue Floyd instead of fighting him in the ring?

    5) Why is the blood testing a "roadblock" but not the $10 million per weight penalty?

    Guest appearance is naive. It's called a bluff. Pac called his bluff and floyd made another excuse.

    Meldrick Taylor and Chavez in the first fight did a lot of in-fighting and it looked somewhat similar to Armstrong when he is in close range. It's not as simple as burying your head in their chest and wailing away

    Floyd really should have no reason at all for not fighting Pac.

    He gets to take out Arum's cash cow.
    He gets to set a new PPV record.
    He gets to beat his rival and the guy who is seen by many to be the greatest of this generation.
    He gets to make a lot of money, more than fighting any other opponent.

    So why not? Doesn't make sense...since he could beat him so easily according to many fans.

    Pac on the other hand has a reason to not want to fight Floyd. He is the underdog and may be walking to a loss, who wants to lose? However since Floyd is incapable of losing to Pacquiao, whats the fuss?

    Let's not forget that it was Tyson would paid Lewis $4M not to fight him when both were much closer to their primes. :deal

    As for Mayweather's refusal to fight Pac, it's because of the combination of his speed and power. If he didn't have power, he'd have fought him, if he was slow and predictable, he'd have fought him, but having both, presents a real danger to his "0".

    I think you might be confusing the concept of being one-dimensional with being unrefined. Armstrong didn't really have that many dimensions to his game. He almost always pressed forward and looked to hit the guy as hard as he could and as often as he could.

    But it would be a mistake to say that his style wasn't refined. He used head and upper body movement to avoid a lot of shots, positioned himself pretty well on the inside to give himself the best angle to punch, and always seems to be able to counter when an opponent catches him. Plus, he never really mauls or wrestle inside. He actually works in close. You don't really see fighters working in the trenches as much as he did these days, so maybe the game has changed.

    I think an argument for Mayweather beating Henry would likely be credible, to me, if it centered on the fact that Floyd has more than one dimension, and an underrated ability to work inside. If he were somehow able to put Armstrong on the back foot, or at least stay even with him, then yeah...I could see him maybe holding Armstrong off and shading him on the cards. But it would have less to do with any of Henry's supposed flaws, and more to do with FMJ's versatility and talent.
