    Floyd has fought the top rated fighters in the division that he's been in, numerous HOF's and several guys who were in the top p4p rankings when they fought. If fighting the best fighters in the sport in your weightclass is cherry picking, then so be it, more fighter should do it.

    The problem with that is imagine if Cotto and Hatton accepted the fights with Mayweather at 140 rather then claiming they weren't ready. Imagine if Mosley accepted the fight with Mayweather as soon as he moved up to WW rather then claiming his teeth hurt. Imagine if Arum accepted the contract or if Margo accepted the Judah date that was offered after Judah lost.

    All these fighters had opportunities to fight Mayweather before he decided to retire. Y are they allowed have excuses to not fight Mayweather when challenged?

    They will never give you a straight answer because they can't. They will stick to their stupid ducking rhetoric because that's what Bob (yesterday I was lying, today I'm telling truth) Arum told them.

    LOL@ false beef. As if Bob refusing to work with GBP ex employee, and floyd as a coincident? mares vs donaire? Rios vs Lucas? Floyd vs Pac?

    It is called keeping the money IN HOUSE. Bob said it, Oscar said it, Don said it.
    Floyd doesn't need a middle man. Pac wants a middle man so who is the one setting up the road blocks?

    BTW, hows that outdoor stadium coming along?

    if there is a top fighter or 3 top fighters, and a guy picks the style which is best for him and the least good of the 3 that is handpicking. Hopkins last fight is a great example of handpicking. Mayweather picking Guerrero.
     

  9. What out door stadium? The one they would of built if Fraud had accepted the fight and terms. Its funny how Blinkered *****'s are:verysad

    How can you say a guy that's fought nobody until a past prime Casamayor Katsidis then goes life and death with the limited Berto a top 5 WW is beyond me he isn't top 5 anything.

    He hasn't even proven himself at 135-140 against the best guys let alone 147.

    27 pages of dudes trying desperately to convince themselves Guerrero is "worthy", even though he doesn't even pass the standards Floyd set himself.:hey

    LOL this is the problem with *****s, they seriously believe anything FLoyd says. Floyd Mayweather is a GBP fighter - he just has a special contract with them where he dictates the terms of the fights, but they then go off and make it happen. That's all...but Mayweather doesn't work without GBP, they are his promoters :patsch

    So this whole "Pacquiao has a boss" rubbish is just that, it's rubbish.
