    This is the problem with this fight. Its going to bring in alot of people who dont know **** about boxing like fatboy WilTom. Then when Pacquiao gets stomped out, they'll be dissappointed and call Mayweather boring and move on to whatever other athlete they wanna suck off. It really does nothing for boxing in the long term.

    So he's waiting until the last day to sign? You're confident he will still do it?

    And what does that have to do with a trailer trash lay about calling a professional fighter a coward?

    And how do you know he's not going to sign? Hasnt there been a supposed media blackout for this fight?

    If floyd gets a reasonable contract and says no, what will you think?
    Be honest.

    If he doesn't sign he basically is a coward.

    Don't matter what they know. It is what they represent; ESPN and their exposure and influence on public opinion. Maywether is pretty much going to look like the sucka in this one. It is just not Wiborn but many other outlets now blaming Floyd and labeling him a coward.

    I'm leaning towards no. But I don't know his reasoning, or the contract, so really, I'm not going to comment. If the contract is perfect for Floyd, and if he goes on to sign a fight with someone other than Williams or Martinez, then I'd think he's worried about losing his 0 to Pac. But maybe he wants to take some time off. Like I said, I'm not Mayweather, I don't know what he's thinking.

    And I think Haye is clearly ducking Wlad. But I'm not going to run into every thread calling him a coward and a *****. He's his own man, and he can make his own decisions. Who the **** am I to tell them what they should do?

    This is the kind of media that will force Floyds hands. Whther you like Wilbon or these analysts or not for their lack of knowledge, they have covered boxing longer than ESB has existed. I cant recall anyone in the media calling out a fighter like they're calling out Floyd. I cant fathom Floyd not signing, whatever the fck is in the contract. Imagine publicity like this for the next 6 months??

    You wouldn't blame Mayweather if Pac offered to fight for free and he turned it down. Let's be honest here. You are lining up an excuse.... :yep

    So a fighter who's leaped 5 weight classes fought the very best from all over the world since he was 6 years old, been in the ring with the likes of Diego Corrales, Castillo and Shane Mosley is no suddenly a coward? Scared of another man? :rofl

    There could be a myriad of reasons floyd hasnt signed yet. even arums team stated they think Floyd wants the fight next year. Hell we dont even know the terms of the contract yet.

    If you say you're going to beat a man's ass and how shitty he is, even to the point of creating a t-shirt with you decapitating him, then you openly duck him, you are absolutely a coward.

    It's like being a bully who runs when someone fights back.

    Don't say manny pacquiao is an easier fight than marquez, is 1 dimensional, and over rated if you aren't even willing to back it up when it's your time to do it.

    This isn't some ploy by boxing fans to get floyd in over his head. He already sold the fight with all of his **** talk towards Manny.

    He pushed a smear campaign of cheating and steroids on a dude who was becoming a legit threat.

    He is a ****ing coward.

    Uhh where on you from? VEry few of these men cover boxing. Both Wilbon and Kornheiser both admit they havent cared about boxing since the 80's.
