    I'm tired of seeing Floyd topics here. Especially tired of reading about his rivalry with Pacquiao. He's retired and he's ancient. He should be discussed in Classic forum.

    Bull****. It was the other way around. Example: "afraid of needles" to avoid testing. Pac was into heavy steriod use.

    You do realize that Floyd had...

    ... ultra low T/E ratios consistent w/ PED use, RIGHT?

    ... and was the one using needles and IV fluids, a known method of masking and flushing PEDs, RIGHT?

    ... ducked VADA testing and a $5 million positive test penalty, RIGHT?

    Two A side boxers wanting their own way, be that purse splits, drug testing methods etc etc, hence fight not made when it should have been, not the first and it won't be the last.

    Business comes first, the sport of boxing is very much second.

    1. He wasn't. Neither of them were afraid of the other.

    2. At this point, moderators I vote all Floyd threads be moved to the classic section

    Just like now with Crawford and Spense. Both fighters didn't seem to want it that bad.

    Too much credit for Pac. He was a talk to my promoter type fighter where Arum decided and he fought whoever he was put in the ring with.

    Floyd is the one who came up with all the roadblocks cause like everyone he couldnt believe a former flyweight destroying much bigger opponents.

    If he was as confident in himself as his fans are then he would not have put up obstacle after obstacle to duck that fight.

    Floyds always been safety first as hell. The type to wear a helmet and kneeprotectors in a car.
    His whole money scheme was based on his zero and he surely wasnt risking it vs the monster that Pacquiao was in 09-11.

    Was that Monster Manny the inspiration for Inoue's Current Nickname?

    Funny cause he seems humble but then has that nickname, probably someone on his team who started it.

    The idea of Floyd being scared of Manny is laughable. They both are ATGs. Floyd new the long the fight was pushed the more it would be worth. Risk vs. Reward. no use taking the risk until the reward is at its max. Floyd was about the money not the glory. Prime Pac was a whole different animal, and that risk was not worth it at the time. I am sure i am in the minority but thats my opinion.

    Condidering him high risk and ducking is being scared though?

    Im not a fan of ducking being disguised as smart business.
    No boxing fan should care about it either. We dont care if Floyd or whoever makes more money to by another Jet. We just want the biggest fights at the right time.

    Same with Spence vs Crawford which already past the ideal date imo.

    I agree 100% on as fans we dont care about that. We want to see the best fight the best at their best. That was just IMO why the fight happened when it happened and not when it should have happened.
