    I'll pick quality over quantity. Floyd's last few fights involved good opponents and he beat them impressively. Fighting once a year helps him stay ahead of the pack in terms of revenue and limits wear and tear on his body. I'd like to see him fight more but it's really about whom he beats that counts the most from here on out.

    Leonard had problems with his eye.

    Floyd had problems with his vagina.

    Leonard had a legitimate reason.

    Floyd didnt.

    Floyds ducking of Pac and quality opposition on a regular basis is shameful and will be remembered as such

    Pac coming up with a hundred excuses will be remembered while he would rather fight drained fighters and guys coming off of brutal KO's,as well as Floyd's leftovers..

    "It's like he wants to see how Floyd does with the guy,then I'll go head and fight him after he beats him"-Floyd

    Not trying to be sarcastic but is that why he ducked Aaron Pryer? Was the eye the reason he chose not to fight him?

    leftovers?

    ok let's see floyd's last 4 fights in the last 5 years:

    2008: vacation
    2009: marquez - coming up from LW to fight at 144 catch only for floyd to cheat him on the scales. pacquiao has fought twice before and already beaten.
    2010: mosley - coming of 15 months of inactivity and is confirmed shot
    2011: ortiz - overhyped quitter who beat another overhyped boxer in berto
    2012: cotto - pac's leftover

    so for the last 5 years, floyd has fought 4 times and two of them are pac's former opponents that he already beat or stopped, one is against an over-hyped quitter and one is against a shot fighter.

    How was Mosley proved shot? Dude was the number 1 WW in the world (Pac ducked him) and the number 3 P4P. :rofl

    Now after his lackluster performance with Mayweather, and a gift draw with Mora, Pacquaio decides to fight him. Can you explain why?

    Easy on the old chestnuts there.:roll:
    Pryor was offered a career high purse in preliminary negotiations with Ray.He chose to knock it back and that's been covered a million times on this forum.

    mosley was shot. dude gassed in the 3rd round even after his best round. it was proven in the mora, pac and canelo fights.

    It's bullshitters like you who give sensible Floyd fans a bad name.No wonder people call me a ***** and think we're all the same when you post shite like this.
    I'm not even gonna attempt to **** your argument up the wall because anyone with half a brain already knows that one has **** all to do with the other.
    If you insist on dragging it out,I'll be happy to put it to bed when I have more time later.

    he's soundly defeated everyone worth defeating his size in his generation and hasn't lost, not one fight. money is economic like that. yes, even the pee pee mouth fight which is a masterpiece that ages well. through that fight money has exposed dapidroid altogether without risking himself over a cheater.

    Thats because this is a boxing forum, not the financial review.

    Generally, boxers box. I don't give a **** how much money they earn.

    I watch the fights to see great fights, not to dirty about PPV revenue sharing and contract clauses.

    The day boxing fans discuss "maximizing revenue" is the day that

    1 - people should stop pretending they know about things they don't
    2 - boxing as a sport is so dead, we're reduced to talking about things like that.
