I agree, he really is a clever journalists dream. He's so obsessed with appearing flamboyant that he loses his train of thought and lets his mouth run away with him. Bearing in mind how (for want of a better word) political his standing in the Boxing world is right now, he'd do better to carefully consider each answer before giving it. He must realise Pacquaio can hurt him, this is Boxing; you can get hurt. The finance is really down to ego, he knows how much this fight is worth and wants to be paid what he percives as his value.
Floyd is already past his prime dip****. Fights w/ Frazier and Norton weren't the old, washed up version of Ali. Go read a ****in book.
This content is protected This content is protected With the exception of Hatton, Pacquiao hasn't demonstrated that he's a huge puncher in the division. Oscar quit on his stool, but would have survived the 12 rounds standing. Cotto could have heard the final bell, but Bayless mercifully stopped the bout. Those 2 stoppages were due to speed and accumulation, not brute force. Clottey, Margarito, Mosley, and Marquez all heard the final bell. There is NO QUESTION that Pac's power at welterweight is not as great as it was in the lower weight classes, rendering Floyd's accusations bull****. Why the **** is Floyd scared? :think
I agree with you. But in a nutshell, he's ****in everyone over on the biggest fight of our generation, over money. Despite his being paid more then ever. I think that's the case, but I also don't think he's as confident vs. Pac as he is over others. Considering Floyds legal problems, which can hurt his # of days left in the game. Hindering his ability to earn, for a fight he claims is easy, a fight he'll make more money then ever, he's just NOT eager at all to do it. PAc seems to be the only one wanting to make it on good faith.
fans didn't force ali to do ****. ali just wanted to show he was the greatest and had balls the size of watermenlons.
u meth head *****. i said WAAAY past prime. learn how to read. Floyd is nowhere near shot and can still school these youngins u dumb****. are u insinuating lil pacman, the guy that took a beating from the lightweight Marquez is the guy to do it? meth head please
This fight will never happen, and the debate between fighter extremeists will never end. If the fight is some how made then it's a watered down version of what we could of got in 08. The Pacquaio who destroyed Cotto, the Mayweather who picked apart Marquez, that was the super fight we wanted. Blame lies between Mayweather, Arum and Pacquaio, regardless of what extent people attribute to who.
I disagree, Ali's ego blinded him to the fact he was far from what he was. He was addicted to the adulation, never has a Boxer courted attention like Ali did.
get out of the sport and go out on top. Larry Holmes didn't give Ali Parkinson's..boxing gave Ali Parkinson's.
He doesn't drift away from it. He flips it back on to the person asking another question and intimidates that person. And then he gets defensive if somebody really probes in on him.
Easy money. Ortiz and Cotto will go down as the easiest fights of his career. Floyd also makes it look easy though.
ok but he still was willing to get in the ring that still some guts and the fans only force him those fights like you said because of adulation. his fans didn't make him fight those fights but he was hooked on the fans adulation when he fought.
Blame is 90% Arum and Floyd. 60 Floyd, 30 Arum. Maybe 10 Pac for not jumping through hoops IMMEDIATELY. Pac has jumped through hoops only to have Floyd hold up another. Not sure how anyone cannot see that. How can people say Arum did NOT want the fight when he was willing to get a major stadium built? A stadium to get more fans in to watch what most consider today's BIGGEST fight? Makes no sense. And remember, Floyd had jailtime looming ahead. hHw can one get investors for a fight when one guy might not be available. And remember again, it wasn't until Jan 6 of this year that we all thought Floyd would be in jail, until it was postponed. BTW, if you think Floyd's legal team didn't know that in advance, you're fooling yourself. Makes Floyd's tweets even MORE empty then they already were.
