    I dont think it has nothing to do with Floyds recent comments , For quite some time Roach has mentioned that Floyd is not the same fighter he once was , i could be wrong but i believe he first said that after that Mosley fight .

    He said the same thing about Cotto "not the same fighter" after Margarito which is why they jumped on that fight..

    Whether or not you agree with the judges is irrelevant. Just go back to all the drivel written on the net in the build up to that fight. Aside from ******* vermin, the general consensus was Pac was gonna do a number on Bradley, and either win by a wide UD, or possibly stop him late on.

    So if he isn't past his prime and visibly declining, how the fvck was Bradley still there, and still strong at the end of the fight?

    Again aside from ******* vermin, who are totally insignificant, and make feeble excuses like lucky punch, JMM was on the juice, and he was about to stop Marquez, ( all bollox by the way ) if he isn't declining rapidly, how come the Mexican constantly hurt him with body shots, and right hands throughout the fight, culminating in the Goodnight Vienna shot?

    I'm not saying Bradley beat him, Pac lost a close fight. Just like JMM lost a close fight on his 3rd with Pac. Fighters can't claim robbery every time they lose a close fight. I had pac by 2 rounds but that is close enough to go the other way.
    I had JMM by 2 rounds over pac but he did not get the win.
    It is part of boxing that is why we don't always agree with the judges.
    I guarantee that fights like Floyd vs Guerrero no one questions the decision.
    Bradley does what judges like to see and gets the benefit of the doubt. Look at fight with Provodnikov, Very close fight that Bradley got the win. Easily could have gone the other way.

    When will you worshippers finally see through that punk Mayweather.
    He blatantly ducked Manny, he made every excuse in the book plus a few more not to fight him. He blatantly ducked Tony Margarito .After Floyd saw what Tony did to Miguel Cotto he had to change his underwear . he fought Baldomir instead for less that the $8 mil offered by Margarito. He refuses to fight outside of his hometown Las Vegas where he knows he has the commission & their officials in his pocket
    Mayweather an ATG ??? ROFLMAO No Way Jose He bragged the other day he wanted to fight in England Against Khan???? just another piece of Floyd's BS .
    Of the two I still believe Manny Paquaio will be regarded as the man that scared the crap out of Floyd Mayweather jr

    I scored it 116/112 for Pac . So in my eyes it was wide . I had a pretty good feeling Pac was not going to stop him though . Bradley proved to the world in that fight that he could absorb Manny shots and how great his chin is . Manny has declined YES .

    Any Pac fan who says Marquez was juicing needs to stop acting ignorant and deal with the fact Pac lost fair and square , Manny was caught with perfect punch , thats kind of thing happens in boxing from time to time .

    Any one who thinks Pac got robbed needs to rewatch the fight. He coasted in several rounds and gave the fight to Bradley. He was in control of the fight and took his foot off the gas because he believed his own hype.

    Very true, he fought for a minute in each round. I said that in my RBR shortly after the fight.

    No, he did not.

    After Manny beat Hatton, a Floyd fight was on the radar.

    When Manny destroyed Cotto, the Floyd fight seemed the natural next super fight.

    However, when Pac destroyed Cotto on the heels of Hatton, Floyd began to get little rumblings in his colon. From that point on, he was determined not to face "the midget."

    He knew he himself was the better boxer and had the edge in most categories. But he just couldn't shake the images of Hatton laying comatose on the canvasand Miguel doing the chicken dance.

    In short, he feared Pac.


    And so he made allegations regarding PEDs and made demands outside the usual scope of boxing authority protocols.

    And it worked.

    The fight never happened.

    (Floyd was sued for slander. The suit was carried and Floyd had to pay an undisclosed sum to Pac, and agree to refrain from any further baseless allegations of PED use by Pac.)

    But Floyd was successful in derailing the fight on account of his unwarranted demands.

    Everybody in the sport know this. George Foreman has said as much.
    So has Marvin Hagler, Roberto Duran, Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones Junior, Sugar Shane Mosley, DeMarcus Corley and numerous others.

    Lately, even Floyd's good buddy 50 cent has admitted that the man was scared to face 'the midget.'


    Floyd ducked Pac when it mattered.

    Nobody doubts that.

    Secretly, even the *****s know their man came up sort here.

    Floyd's not washed up. He's still operating at a high level...No longer in his physical prime...not quite as fast, but his experience level makes up for what ever he's lost, physically. Floyd is still a ****in' problem for anyone he's fighting. Not that he can't be beat....but what can I say...he's got mad skills.
