    Okay then, someone else said cowardly, I'll just go with that then, cause it's more accurate then your reply is.

    Fact is Floyd's ranked in the low 30's and higher by most knowledgeable boxing fans. But his talent is probably more like top 15-20. There's a reason for the discrepancy. But don't blame the messager for telling it like it is.

    Well except for Pac they're not out there.

    But Pac was there to be fought. Look I wasn't trying to say he avoided those type of fighter because but for Pac they're not out there.

    But as I did say, Pac would have been the test and rather than step up to the plate and take the test, he found away around it. Fact is, if Floyd wanted that fight, he would have made it happen. Can anyone truly doubt that?

    Well I gotta admit there really isn't any relevancy, but the same answer applies to your response.

    Really? Because this:

    sounds EXACTLY like that is what you are saying.

    :nono


    Sounds like you're talking about Pac here. He's the one who dipped on a 50/50 split and 14 day window to take less money and fight Clottey.

    there was more to the story than drug testing. if drug testing was the only issue, then this fight would have been made years ago, so stop talking out of your ass "sweet" jones
