in his interview with sky sports news he talks about how he's in a no win situation because if he beats pac then he won't get the respect because he was supposed to win.He also says how everybody is building up pac because they want to see mayweather lose and that pac will not officially say he wants mayweather next.He makes a good point because i think mayweather will pick pac apart and still won't get respect.Everyone wants to see him lose(i might be one of them) but pacquiao just isn't the guy who can beat floyd imo.........oppinions???????
How is it a " no win " situation for Floyd? even if Floyd loses he'll make millions, MILLIONS! that's allways a win situation for someone who calls themself "MONEY".
If you listen to the hopkins interview, he is right on the money when saying Floyd is the type of guy who has to talk himself up to get confidence. He wants to believe pac is scared so he can hype himself to fight him. Pac is the type of fighter that lets his team put who ever is next. Win or lose pac ain't scared he just loves to fight. pac's been in WW how long and has already fought one of the big names. floyds been there years and yet to fight MC, SSM or AM.
If its a no win situation then fight Mosely and shut up about it. Fight Collazo Cintron Williams Fight all big guys .
Man please. FMJ called out Mosely and Mosely ran. Now that Shane is divorced and his career was two steps away from skid row, now he is ducking? Rewind the history. When Shane was in the spot FMJ was in he did NOT give FMJ a shot. Why does he deserve the same? Then you list a bunch of fighters who FMJ would handle all day? Collazo and Cintron? Really? The only dude on that list that is a threat to FMJ is Williams. He is a threat to ANY true welter. I don't see ANY welter calling that freak out. And by the way, I like all those guys on the list. I just remember the history.
“That (a fight with Hatton) is a possibility,” Pacquiao said. “If I win this fight (against De La Hoya), maybe Floyd Mayweather will come out of retirement looking for a big fight.” http://sports.inquirer.net/inquirers...ton-Mayweather Pacquiao already said he will fight WHO EVER his promoter puts in front of him. Arum is open to the fight and Roach wants the fight. Pacquiao doesn't need Floyd, his got RESPECT.
If he fought him before Manny annhilated Cotto then yes, but now he won't be questioned for beating Pac.
Exactly...he goes around bragging he is better than Leonard, Ali. Prove it Floyd. "I'm not fighting for legacy". "We're not fighting to prove to boxing fans, who the best is?" then say "I just want to be the best".
I agree with every word he said there. If he doesn't take the fight with pacquiao people will say that he ducked Manny because he was scared of him. If he does take the fight, he will dominate manny and make it look easy and people will say that he opted for the big easy payday against the smaller man instead of going after someone like Mosley or williams. In terms of legacy he is in a lose lose situation but I guess he can console himself with the $30 million that he should make for an easy fight.
The truth is some people will refuse to give him respect no matter what he does (the same applies to Pac). It's just how it works. Having said that, the Pac fight is THE fight to make and Floyd will receive far less criticism for it than if he chose Mosley or Williams. Pacquiao right now, smaller or not, is well above these guys. Mayweather will only be in a no win situation if he refuses to fight Pac.
You are wrong here. Mayweather is the one crying about all of this. he built this maze that he cant get through. It doesnt matter who Mayweather can " handle all day " Its about fighting people . ANY ****ING BODY but JMM . How the **** am I supposesd to believe that the self proclaimed p4p crem de la crem needs a ****ing tune up fight with ****ING JMM ?!?!?!?! He could take the tune up with Collazzo a good guy in the sport who DESERVES the pay day:deal Him standing in the ring with him alone just standing in there , is more credible to me for the p4p, than JMM . Mr " Im going to retire from boxing , boxing is not going to retire me " crying and **** just because a media guy ask him to fight ANYONE with a pulse!! And then he decides to come back and now he is crying some more. If you are a boxer why not fight people? People that the media is asking about? the meida is triny to speak for fans and get fans excited about the sport , but Mayweather shits on everyone like no one is worth his time. Well if no one is worthy then RETIRE AGAIN . PLEASE !! " you boring cant engage with JMM even when you said knocking him out is the plan and he would be dissapointed if he couldnt. " Well guess what? He couldnt
