I dont understand Floyd's reasoning of fighting the guys he does.

    Floyd said in a pre-conference for the JMM fight, that hes not fighting Pacman because he never called him out and anyone else that wanted to fight him by using the excuse Hatton and JMM called him out so they got the fight.

    Hatton said

    "We seen more action in these 4 rounds than in all of Mayweather's career"

    JMM said

    "We decided to move up to up in weight and fight Mayweather"

    Does that sound like guys calling out Floyd to you all?

    But then you get fighters like Margarito and Mosley going out of their way to tell Floyd in front of his face that they want the fight.

    Floyd is telling these guys to keep winning and they'll meet on later in the ring for a big fight, what Floyd is really telling these other threats is to destroy each other while he takes on the easy fights while waiting and fight the winner when he looks weak/war torn. Hes currently doing it with Pac/Cotto right now, and doesnt want Mosley since he looked fresh against Margo.

    The fact is you dont get the fight if you call out Floyd, you get the fight if you have PPV value and dont seem like much of a threat. I expect Mayweather to stall negotiations with the winner of Pac/Cotto until early December, then try to fight Khan in the UK, on the premises that its a tune-up for Mosley and because he promised the UK fans he would fight there once after the Hatton fight.

    This has been said a million times. He uses excuses NOT to fight certain guys to his advantage, whether it's saying they aren't big enough a name, have too many losses, don't deserve a fight, nor he already tried. And since he doesn't get called out on that enough or has enough ass kissers who already think he'll beat them, he doesn't need to. He's wasting greatness on protecting a "0". Too bad in the end people care more about fighting the best then they do about being undefeated. Floyd seems to think being undefeated is all he needs to do. Kinda sad how his ego and constantly being defensive has warped his sense of reality.

    Every guy FLoyd at 147 was practically suppose to be a tune-up for something big, the only one legitimate fight on his resume above 150 is DLH at 140. Who is suppose to be his defining win at welter weight....Carlos Baldomir?

    Horrible logic, Floyd is claiming to be the king of a division but doesnt have to fight guys that have been there for their entire career?

    :huh Nice attempt at a point. Fail though. Floyd moved up to WW over many years. And Floyd was never a FW as a pro.

    Typical argument from a Floyd nuthugger. "Floyd does not need to fight X fighter cause he will beat him so it's a useless fight, there's no point" :rofl. Not for JMM though huh?

    I dont, the way he chooses who he fights from his own words and whom he acutally fights doenst make any sense.

    Are the Joyboys going to back up floyd's gospel as fact or use it as a smart lying strategic business ploy.

    Void is still running from Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Pac and anyone else who can fight. Void is void. A fake hero.

    you seem to forget an awful lot of things

    are you saying that you think margarito and floyd is a mismatch or a close fight ?

    you have a point why hide it

    or did you forget it
