    Yes you can keep calling Pac out. Because Pac is the fighter of the decade, a wrecking machine (back in 09) that can't be stopped, and is widely viewed as the best offensive boxer of the weight classes that Mayweather was a part of.

    Lets imagine for a second that a real brave man, like Bernard Hopkins, was in Floyd's position. Bhop would
    a) burn the flag of philippines in public, demanding a fight
    b) constantly go on record calling Pac a coward
    c) take a smaller cut of the pie, and agree to all conditions, just to show Pac who's boss.

    And that is because Bhop has an atg mentality, and he is much closer to TBE than Floyd will ever be. EVER. Because I am a boxing fan, not a fighter fan. And boxing as a whole does not need men without ambition, without drive to prove themselves against the best.

    It just shows how much of a nut hugger you are :lol:
    Floyds scared of an Asian midget I cant see him fighting the greatest midget of all time.
    You think Floyd would dominate ATG Henry Armstrong by running away from him :rofl Do you think with all those fights he's had he's never been in with runners :patsch Flyd isn't even a runner. He's a hider :hey

    there u go overrating the oldschool. like i said before, henry is slow, flatfooted, HE THROWS ONE LOOPING PUNCH AT A TIME, and he's short. floyd would make very easy work with him, he'd beat him worst than marquez

    Hank was not flat footed or slow, stop talking ****.

    You just described Maidana bar the hight :rofl All the *****'s talking **** about Maidanas slow feet and wild, looping hooks. Him being limited, etc, etc. Then Floyd goes out against Maidana and gets worked. He just won that fight like he did Castillo l and ODLH. Floyd doesn't like pressure, those guy's proved it.
    Armstrong was small but that was his advantage. He was all pressure. He beats Floyd all day long. Maidana is like a bigger, poorer version of Hank with less mobility and pressure. Hank would pressure Mayweather up against the ropes all fight, missing loads and landing loads. Floyds problem in that fight would be his low work rate and lack of power. Defensive pot shooting would not be enough.

    You should know by now that any past great will forever be better than current and future athletes in almost any sport.. So we have to wait until Floyd is an athlete from the past to give him his props.. I say about 8-20 years after retirement...

    Well when negotiations first happened Mayweather did concede basically all conditions, did go on record calling Pac a coward after he signed to fight Clottey only for them to still say no. I don't act like everything Mayweather does is great I try to keep it honest with the facts presented. Between the two of them Pacquiao has been in with 1 top 2/3 fighter in 6 yrs every fighter Floyd fights is top 2/3.

    Up til KO6 Mayweather's side says they won't fight him without drug test, Pacquiao's side says we aren't trying to fight

    I would say that Pac's resume until 140 lbs was better than Mayweathers. Keep in mind, Pac fought Barrera AND Morales when they were still very good (not prime, but very good) and he fought Marquez in his prime age, prime weight. 140 and onwards Mayweather's resume trumps Pacs.

    As for the facts presented, this has been discussed time and time again. Mayweather wanted Pac to take a smaller purse, and to do tests with his own testing agency, something Pac was not willing to do (I am convinced Pac AND May are both on peds, but thats beyond the point). Who said when and where was debated till the sunrise on these forums, I still maintain that to be TBE, Mayweather had to make the fight happen, by being more flexible and by forcing Arum into a dead end, without giving his a great number of ways to escape (60-40, drug test with usada, cut off time etc).

    Of course, you could say "hey wait a minute, why the hell does Mayweather need to put in all that work, shouldn't Pac do his part?". The answer is NO because no one is calling Pac a TBE, Marquez put a big fat end to that.

    Floyd has all the God Given natural talent to make him one of the best ever BUT Talent alone is not enough Floyd lacks the courage, integrity & OK I'll say it THE BALLS of a champion. He doesn't mind beating on women in front of their children but balks at fighting legitimate opponents on a level playing field. In other words all he is is a Very talented COWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
