    I won't even bash Mayweather. I just want to say that the fans of the sport some casual some who love boxing more than anything have saved the day.
    I did not believe that so many writers and fans and even great legends I admire like Foreman would come out and openly say they believed Floyd has indeed ducked Manny. The rant was the icing on the cake and spoke volumes about the attention Manny has received.
    Pac has got the attention for only one reason and that is his work ethic and willingness to leave it all in the ring.
    Fans want quality now and they are apparently well equipped to call out the "frauds". This only helps bring boxing back to the days before HBO went all in on one fighter and fans had tons of legends to equally chose from.

    In retrospect maybe it was better Floyd ducked Manny, I am sure there will be a better candidate to face Pac in a fight of the century or at the very least Mayweather apparently does not deserve that accolade.

    The only ducking floyd will do involves a skillet, a philippino and some peking sauce.

    Yet you and the rest of the world is stuck on Floyd. Are you aware that Manny is not on vacation and actually has a fight set up?

    Floyd is just too nasty. Greatest fighter to ever put on a pair of gloves, or not to even wear gloves.

    Of all the fighters that existed and all the fighters who would have been, floyd is the GOAT.

    That is a fact.

    lol at the "fans calling out the frauds". like a bunch of sweaty, overweight virgins spending every waking moment of their life behind the keyboard are the ones who call world class athletes putting their life on the line every time they step in the ring frauds. yes maybe floyd is being a little *****, maybe pac is being a complete diva as well, and yes the best dont fight the best as frequently as they used too. but what these fickle, bone headed fanboys do is no different to what they usually do, bash and disrespect fighters they personally dont like. you think floyd and for that matter ANY boxer gives a **** about what some twit who's never laced em up and eats twice his bodyweight in cheetohs and hot pockets has to say about them?? i sure as hell wouldnt.

    You just seem to leave out the fact that he believes he is the greatest of all time as do his fans. Like it is not important to fans and great fighters struggling to make ends meet to get that disease as far away from boxing as possible. Just either fight Manny and get the knocked the **** out or continue getting abused from the boxing community.

    Floyd has said a few times that he fights for money not legacy. It's no secret and the real fans of the sport struggle to accept that mentality, especially when you look at the true greats of the sport who strived to be the best.

    I'm not the least bit surprised the media is sick of him, he gets old very quickly in terms of his personality and he is just milking the sport for whatever he can.

    Putting their life on the line? You have a better chance dying in a car than you do in a professional boxing ring.
    Wipe the cheese of your keyboard it is messing up your spelling.

    yep, easy thing to say when you've never stepped in the ring your entire life. do you remeber the reason why championship bouts have been shortened to 12 rounds? you couldnt have proven my point any better with this post. fans like you aren't saving boxing, you're ruining boxing. i may not be the biggest fan of certain fighters, but if its one thing i have for all of them is RESPECT. so take your own advice and proceed, and say hello to your parents for me when you come out of the attic to restock on snacks:hi:

    No surprise why MMA and UFC are so successful. Hype Jobs can't survive.
    Floyd should have been dismantled by Kosta or Casamayor pre 2006.
