How can you cherry pick a top fighter in your division?

:!:

have a nice day :hi:

 

Okay. So Floyd said in an interview that he cared more about his health than fighting someone (who he believed to be juicing). I get it. It sounds like he's scared. Maybe he was/is. I understand. That's what Floyd did.

However, you can't just ignore the other side's actions as well.

manny and his team did DOZENS of interviews in which they admitted they refused drug testing because:
1. manny's afraid of needles
2. giving blood weakens manny
3. manny/roach didn't want Floyd to dictate terms (he's not bigger than boxing) [FYI: manny/Roach made demands which superseded the commission the same way Floyd's drug testing did]
4. manny won't bend to Floyd's will. He won't do OSDT.
5. manny will fight Floyd if he doesn't go to prison, but he likely won't be available for May.
6. manny can't fight in May because his cut needs time to heal
7. We need an outdoor stadium
8. We need a 50/50 split

If you want to look at what they "DO/DID" then apply that to BOTH camps. They're equally guilty of being yellow. It was mutual fear and nuthuggery/avoidance.

 

You stopped at 8 this time. What happened to the other 30?

 

The above is not an unfair criticism of Floyd.

Floyd is, after all, his own boss.

He fights who he WANTS to fight!

He can CHOSE to fight certain fighters and not others.

Of course -- as fans of boxing -- we would naturally want him to fight the best possible competition.

On the other hand, just because we are fans doesn't give us the right to dictate how he should conduct his business.

At the end of the day... when Floyd's bills come in... they have his name on them ... not ours.

... The choices are Floyd's.

 

I'm done with this goddamn saga. It's a ****ing bad soap opera series which has been discontinued. BJL12 IS OUT OF THE MAY/PAC WHINERY.

There you go.

 

This was a dominant performance. :hi:

 

PPV power? You think floyd needs an opponent to sale a million PPV?

also he's fighting his mandatory and a guy who is ranked top 3 at WW.....stfu and kill yourself hater

 

Oh, I remember you. You're the poor dumb ******* who has issues with reading comprehension. Yes, PPV power. This is supposedly one of Floyd's reasons when choosing opponents. And you call yourself a fan. TMT would be ashamed of you.

 

Honestly, the boxing world's level of expectation for FMJ is so much higher than others...

Partly, it is because of his undefeated record, you're expected to defend it against extraordinary odds in order to PROVE to others it isnt a fluke

The other part goes kind of hand in hand. The haters crank up the level of expectation beyond reasonable, BECAUSE they are looking for him to lose against a stacked deck. AKA fighting at 160 or he's ducking. Nevermind he really has a body of a Light Welterweight but fights in weightclasses 1 to 2 above of what he should be competing in. Even fighting full-sized 154'rs at the champion level is asking TOO much IF you're looking for a fair fight...

 

+1 Keeping It Real

 

No one cares about Guerrero. I wanted him to fight Alvarez but have to settle for this ****. If Floyd struggles against a limited fighter like Guerrero then my standards will drastically lower

 

I wish I was as literate as you ?! No doubt you are sick .. Did you actually read the posts ? I am the one out to discredit someone ? because I don`t agree with someone`s opinion on Floyd ? Lacking facts ? When someone points out Hagler bear blown up welters, I respond by naming off the top of my head, some of the tough middles he did in fact beat ...Given your use of language the dumb mfr comment kind of says it all . . .

 

SRL ducked Hagler ? Where did you ever read that ? SRL was incredibly talented, and I didn`t want them fighting because I didn`t know who to cheer for. They were two of my favs...As for the insults about Hagler, it figures. Classy...

 

Because there are at least 5 better fights that could be made.
