    It's crystal clear that he really doesn't want to fight pacquiao even though that's what people want to see. He just made his steroid accusations against pacquiao all this time to escape from the fight.

    MAYWEATHER = ALL TIME DUCK :rofl

    His logic is severely flawed with saying Ali was pushed into certain fights because of the fans.

    But the part about believing Ali would trade that for his health, I believe he's right on the money. Pun intended.

    Ali says he has no regrets. Nobody pushed Ali into fights except for Ali (Maybe the NOI did, I'm not sure). It's actually the opposite that's true, though. His friends, fans, and some in his corner told him to stop.Told him he had nothing left to prove. What did he do? He took his shirt off and said "Look at me. I shocked the world then and I'll shock it again." prior to the Holmes bout. Ali loved the lime light and shocking the world. Floyd loves boring us with petty trite, and taking on low risk, high reward "challenges." Pac doesn't fit that equation, and that's why he insinuated to Bob Costas that he has to do him and worry about his own health, and Pac's high vulnerability in both record and health don't fit that equation. Apparently, taking on challenges is mutually inclusive with worrying about your health. Floyd fighting Pac contradicts his model of self-preservation.

    This is what Sr has been saying all along. He fears for his son's health. Junior finally confessed (obviously without him knowing it yet.)

    Now, move on everyone because after this another fuc%&#% revenue sharing roadblock, Jr can again come up with a thousand and one reasons to avoid fighting Pacquiao.:tired

    Floyd really is a dumb ****. Dude has taken very little punishment. Most of the punishment has probably been before, in training, but compared to others, he's taking very little. And he thinks he's really gonna get damaged from one fight? **** out of here. I'm not even sure he's scared of Pac, I think he schools Pac, but it seems more like "**** THE FANS".

    That's pretty much what he is saying "**** THE FANS". He already said it when they asked him about Margarito, there's a video of it.

    floyd has virtually insinuated that ali would have never taken all those tough fights with frazier and others if he knew that he would get parkinsons.

    You can't rewrite history and the past is the past. but you can learn from the past and do better now. Floyd is doing that, when you take a look at Joe Lewis financially and Ali health wise those guys are poor now. Floyd having done his homework not only on great fighter in the ring but how they lived out of the ring, floyd has leaned really well on the better life business.
    As an African America i will be glad when i show my kids tapes of the greatest fighter that did it in my generation and they ask where is he now. i can say he helping his family and friend live a better life, he is living comfortable on his fortune and health in vegas betting on sports and talking **** about the new flavor of the week in sports.

    I understand that as a sports fan that is very anti climactic instead of the 'ultimate battle of superpowers'. I also as a mayweather fan his is in no real danger of being damaged by Pacquiao. But if he can stand his ground and realize his dream of getting the highest payday in sports history I can't as a man and as a sport fan knock that. cause i know when talking about sports as a old man i am going to gloat about mayweather vs pac was the biggest fight and money mayweather made a billion $ off that fight and won a easy UD with one hand tied behind his back while argue with Larry merchant during the fight.

    i can't undertsand this question. ali took on the best. halved the record purse that time with frazier just to make the fight that the world and fans wnats to see.

    why can't floyd do the same? because he fears for his health in just one fight with pacquiao?
