Floyd - why did he retire for 2 years?

And if and when Pac and Mayweather finally do meet, people will try to moan about it still after the schooling occurs

'pac slowed down, he's on the decline', they're already getting their excuses in now

 

They all take a vacation after a fight. Both if Floyd takes one he is up to something.

 

For 16 months?

 

Even Manny's own trainer says Pac will lose to floyd after he saw Marquez schooling pac. These trolling nut huggers flipping the script and accuses floyd when their fighter is far more guilty far more suspicious.

 

That issue is different from the retirement issue.

But my personal oppinion is this:

Best possible scenario would be that Floyd retired. Pacman conquered the no 1 spot. and had many think that he was the best. Then Floyd comes back and after some time and smack talk back and forth.. they would make the fight happen. The fight would now after all this build-up be one of the biggest ever.

In order to be considered a great it is important to let an arch enemy emerge. Just think of SRL's return and many others as well. Going through all contenders without letting any of them get a name.... may seem like a good idea, and the fans demand it... but then after you beat all of them... the fans will ask "who did you really beat?" Just think about Wlad or Tyson. If they had 'avoided' the second best for a few years and let him build up a considerable number of title defenses.. then he could be a legacy-fight.

This is what floyd knows... and tried to do. The plan went well. But in the last year or two something went wrong with the plan - and I am not 100% sure if the fault is with Pac or Floyd. But some of the schemers and moneymen behind the plan are not liking it. Or perhaps they are havign second thoughts. Perhaps Arum was happy with it at the beginning because his man would be built up as well and he would earn a lot from a mega fight. However, now that he actually earns a lot no matter who Pac fights.. he might be reluctant to follow through and loose that continuous income for the sake of one big bang.

 

Why not? He can't make the fight with basically the last guy around his weight that is worth a damn and he is making 40+ million a fight, so whats the hurry?

 

This

 

People do realise Floyd is the one make offers to Manny not the other way around?Ye might think Floyd is being unreasonable with his demands but at least he tries.Pacquiao and his team just keep fighting without trying to make the fight but somehow avoid blame.

 

So far everything that FLoyd has done can be justified. Want more than 50% when he does pull in more money. Wants a drug test to ensure fair play and Pac/Arum is the ones who are saying no but somehow is FLoyd's fault. When every bigger draw demand more percentage, including Pac who pitched a fit wanting 70/30 against Hatton or no fight but somehow when FLoyd does it.. he is an *******. When Floyd ask for Drug test bc his record is on the line, he is scared. How you u like it to be in the biggest fight of the century and possibly lose bc ur opponent is possibly on drugs?

 

my point is he quoted "im not even thinking about boxing" literally a few days after pac sign with marquez mayweather returns.
The day he returned from his 2 year retirement was the day before Pacquiao v Hatton, why didnt he wait 1 day but no he signed a fight with marquez.

all seems a bit suspect. I dont even believe pac will beat mayweather so im no fanboy.

 

Is call mind games. When he was actively calling out fighters when he was coming up in weight, Shane, Tsyu, Oscar, Hamed, Cotto want zero part of Floyd. Then He acted like he didn't want to fight Oscar after he KO Mayroga and he got the fight. He acted like he didn't want to fight Hatton he got the fight, he told everyone who is shane mosley and then he fought him. Get the public to demand. trick the fighters to call him.

Ex:
A: Oscar finally calls out FLoyd after Mayroga
B: Hatton finally calls out Floyd after he ko castillo
C: JMM calls him out after DIaz
D: Shane calls him out after Floyd beat JMM
E: Floyd show up to upstage Pac. WHY? to get him to call him out.


After Pac won against Marquez 3 you can tell from his face that he was reluctant to call floyd out. He didn't even sound confident in what he was saying. His coach says no, Arum says no but is Floyd fault.

 

All these people accuse him, he fought them even though he expressed no interest.

The facts is that he fought Oscar when Oscar was on the top.
fought Jmm coming off wins
Fought Hatton coming off sensational koing castillo
Fought Shane after he brutally kos margarito.
Fought Cotto after he got his margo revenge.
Fought Ortiz coming off his biggest win of his career.

What did Pac do?
The effin opposite.
Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, Shane ALL CAME OFF LOSES. And he drains them.

Wake the hell up people.

 

To give his hands time to heal.

 

The weight was irrelevant in this fight, similar to Pacquiao vs Bradley.

 

I don't even really want to put Pac on blast like this for he is one of my fave despite his teams' tactics but Floyd haters has been annoyed the hell out of me everyday for the last 6 years with their ignorance.
