    If floyd lost a fight early in his career, he would have taken a lot more risks imo

    In your own post you exposed the type of can't win hatred that Floyd is up against. Floyd was called out by everybody for not fighting Mosley, so then Floyd fights him and then the excuses Fly. The same thing happened with Baldomir and Hatton. People claim Floyd should have fought tis person and that person, but 1) it wasnt Floyd's fault that certain fights didn't happen 2) they just would have made excuses anyway and not given him any credit.

    I find it interesting the relationship between Floyd's perceived cowardice and the growing magnitude of this fight (historically, financially, etc.).

    People all view things as fans and not as boxers. A guy like Mayweather doesn't look at fighters and marvel at a guys hand speed or punching power. Mayweather is strictly is about technique. As Mayweather would say, its not a weight lifting contest or a speed bag test. Hand speed, power, angles can all be neutralized with proper technique. He is a master of technique to go along with great physical traits. Which is why when he sees guys like Margo, Cotto, Mosley, Pac he will see there flaws and think about the technique to capitalize on them. He doesn't see those guys and think wow they hit hard. That's what you are thinking as a fan and attaching it to how you think Mayweather would think.

    now im sure you dont know what hes trying to say. i dont either, because he isnt making sense to me, but i dont pretend like i do. explain to me what he meant so ill know if im too dumb to understand his line of reasoning or you are too dumb to recognize when someone isnt saying anything. explain this relationship. or you could ignore the call out and change the focus of our exchange to avoid proving the obvious. that is a method i understand and expect from certain fans.

    Why don't you give it a shot? :think

    Let's eliminate obvious responses, such as "he is afraid of losing his zero", "he is a coward", "he always fights smaller men or old fighters", which I've come to "expect from certain fans".

    But, first figure out which poster you are addressing...the person that wrote that post or the one who gave it a :thumbsup.

    see, now this kind of dodging and shifting of focus is more of what i expect. i didnt really expect a straight answer from you sinse i dont think you know what possible relationship floyd being called a coward and building up a fight that aint happening could possibly have. watching you try and avoid the obvious is fun though.

    Only person avoiding something is you. I've already made the statement, take from it what you want. If you don't understand, just say you don't or ask that it be explained further. But, in an attempt to mask your own ignorance, you've insulted the intelligence of two posters. :bart

    If this were the case, he would have fought and beaten all of them already.
