    If Paul fights Paul or Martinez, will you guys still consider him a coward after this Pacquiao Fiasco?

    Please Vote.

    And explain why you think he didn't fight Pac then end up fighting Williamns or Martinez for less Money.

    Poll Options Mistake:

    Yes: It took balls to fight those two.
    No: He is still a coward for not fighting Pac

    Does it matter since he WON'T fight either guy? But if he did, it would be much easier to forgive him for duckin Pac.

    Of course not, but he's not fighting a smaller man for $50M+, you think he'd fight a bigger man for $20M? Not happening.

    If he fought them at 154, then yes no doubt. He'd be taking a much higher risk fight for a lot less reward.

    But also for that reason, there's not a chance he's doing that.

    Not sure if fighting those guys would interest the "type" of casual fan that bashes or blames Floyd for the Pac fight.

    I don't see Pac fighting Williams or Martinez either...He's getting ready to fight ANOTHER ko'd guy:roll:

    Pac won't even go NEAR a winning fighter:deal

    You could argue Martinez and Williams at 154 is a tougher challenge.

    I think he would, maybe more likely if they were top rank I know pac gets stick now for the fighters he fought. But at the time, Cotto, Hatton and DLH were considered big risks due to the size advantages.

    Pac is the one that has proved he's not afraid to give up size advantages.

    SFTU idiot... Floyd's fought guys who had been KO'd. Mitchell, Judah, DLH, Gatti. This might surprise you, but most fighters have fought guys how have been KO'd previously.

    Next time you think you;ve made a point, just STFU and log off...

    Why would he fight just as risky fights for less money when he can fight an easier one for more money first?

    Why won't the great Pacman fight Martinez...since Floyd is sooo scared???????:think:think

    That would be better than fighting Tony or Cotto...now wouldn't it?

    Apply the same standards to Manny that you do Mayweather...and you'd see how hypocritical you are.

    Sergio has to get KO'd before manny goes near him..that's his M.O

    Those are about the only two guys I'd give him credit for fighting. Maybe a tiny bit of credit for Berto, Bradley or Alexander but not much. Pretty much anything outside of those guys, and I'll probably save my money.

    After a frustrating negotiation and the trickery and lies done by Team Floyd in the last few days, there's no forgiveness. Floyd is and will be labeled a coward liar.

    Fans want to see PAC vs Floyd fight now. If this fight materialize (not sure thing tho), that's the only time Floyd will be forgiven.
