Neither side wanted it. They both did things to stall the fight imo. And really who gives AF? They fought after their primes, it wasn't a great fight and Floyd won. None of the hypothetical stuff matters. Neither seemed overly jacked for a rematch and fans didn't even want it. Pac had his shoulder excuse and Floyd got a super shady post fight TUE and both those things make me shake my head. That fight is all that is wrong with boxing and why people don't care anymore. Floyd and Manny are both retired yet they dominate the chatter.
13 years into a career where he claimed someone else was doing things in boxing nobody had ever done before, while at the same time telling people he was the first to reach 5 titles in 5 divisions in less than ten years. It was all projection. Now consider this. His family had been in the sport for decades already. They knew the ins and outs of the entire system. Dad was a drug dealer. Who had more access to cheating the system than Floyd did? Nobody.
Yikes, These guy's are weird as far as to them mimicking Floyd's way of speaking ever since he said excuses over & over, i see these lame's & other nut huggers repeating what their lover says, sad.
They love repeating that Pac beat an old ODH Though he went up two weight classes by Oscar's demand & actually stopped him, Say Pac beat up an old Mosley though Floyd had only beaten him a year prior along with Manny being small in comparison to Mosley, defeating him in better fashion & without almost getting knocked out or by forcefully hugging Mosley like a *****, Infact Pac had Mosley on retreat the whole night just like he had Floyd being the bigger man running way looking frightened & silly while being on his illegal IV, Along with them calling Hatton done before Manny beat him, though in reality Manny beat Hatton at his preferred better weight where Pac himself had weighed in at 140 for the first time in his career & also stopping him in devastating fashion for the tip.
Exactly. You can't debate these people. They're not objective in the slightest. Like you were saying with Hatton. They can't accept that Hatton best optimal weight was 140lbs and that when he went up to 147 he looked poor against collazo (arguably lost) then went back to 140lb for two fights before Mayweather dragged him up back to 147lbs. At least Pac fought Hatton at his optimal weight. This alone says a lot about Mayweather and his tactics of picking opponents at opportune times.
But that’s not what happened. He agreed to Floyd’s cut off days, but then Floyd took them off of the table. Why did he do that?
You got this clown creating the same post regarding Pac at the Boxing Scene Forums in hopes to finding more to believe in his Floyd Worshiping Revision History BS, as it appears that he didn't like the answers he got here in this Forum, There in Boxing Scene lies a large group of TBE Ball danglers in comparison & are there to flood the message boards with their Bias and Pac hating soon as he is mentioned in any light, see it every time & I'm sure there's a couple of first bell posters that reside there also under different alias.
You don't like facts that's the problem with people like you. Pac did beat a shot and zombie version of Oscar those are facts. Oscar looked like death in that fight. Pbf fought and beat a much better Oscar. Hatton flat out refused to fight pbf at 140 back in 2005 after he beat zoo and pbf beat gatti. Pbf couldn't get him in the ring so he moved up and went after Zab. Hatton later moved up got a belt at 147 and proceeded to call pbf out after he best Castillo. Pbf was established at 147 as the lineal champ and was p4p #1 on top of the sport. Why in the **** would he move down to 140 after fighting at 154 to fight a man who ducked him earlier and called him out? No fighter would do that. So the fight was made at 147 where it should've rightfully been at. Pbf gave Hatton that work then after haters like you want to cry about well it wasn't at 140. Fool! pbf would've whooped that boy at 140 to back in 2005 had Hatton not ducked him. Also Hatton never complain about the weight and said it would be good for him because he wouldn't have to struggle so much in camp cutting weight and he could focus more on strategy instead. Anything else is an excuse not looking to give the man any credit. Pbf clearly beat the better version of Mosley who had just beat margo within a inch of his life and was p4p#3 Mosley also called pbf out in the ring and got that work when they fought. Pbf beat all 3 before pac and beat better versions of all 3. Hatton was coked up and got screwed over by Floyd Sr in his preparation for pac anyone can see that. Floyd Sr used that fool for a payday and didn't even train him. Pbf beat Hatton so bad that he went and hired his father to train him. Let that sink in. yet people want to say pac beat the better hatton?? Log off.
Not to mention that Mayweather called out both Oscar and Shane earlier in his career and they wanted no parts of him. Shane had to deal with a “toothache “ first.
How was it about drug testing when Floyd had ultra low T/E ratios (lower than 102 year old Larry Merchant) in multiple fights, ducked the gold standard in drug testing (VADA), and refused the $5 million dollar drug test penalty?
