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

    There you go again with your moronic imagination... Ask the Admin and MODs here if we are the same one person...

    As long as I can continue criticizing Floyd's undesirable actions here in the forums, it doesn't matter to me if Floyd will continue fighting for most money and lesser risk, it's his ***** choice...

    Floyd can continue milking his moronic fans/supporters like you to pay for his high priced disappointing mismatch PPV fights... It's his moronic fans' choice to be continually fooled... No problem at all...

    Anyway I didn't pay a cent on any of these disappointing Floyd mismatched fights...:hi:

    This is sad, but true.

    But to say Mosley won't bring money to the table is stupid. He still chose JMM over him and even after that fight he still won't fight him...

    I think in this instance it wasn't Margo but Arum, I dont think Arum wants any dealings with Floyd so I guess that could explain why that fight would not have happened even if there was an offer on the table and why would Floyd make an offer if Margarito is already scheduled to fight, simple because even he knows that Arum would not release Margo to fight Floyd at that time. If he really want to fight Margarito he would of made an offer at a better time, the same logic can be applied to Margo offering a fight to Floyd when Floyd claimed to be holding out for a shot at Oscar.

    I mean if you look at it from an unbiased standpoint it does look like Floyd was just throwing names out with no real intention on wanting to fight these cats.

    If it's easy money anyone would do it.

    Making 10 million to fight a guy so overmatched offcourse sounds good to anybody.

    DLH made it clear that he wanted Cotto to win far more than Margarito because that fight would have been a mega fight for MANY reasons, a fight with Margarito wasn't going to be as good considering Marg has losses he showed no interest to avenge and DLH SAID THAT. It's you guys who ignored it to continue making him look bad.

    Obviously it did MUCH better for boxing than others expected. Let's say he fought Margarito and lost that fight only to see Margarito caught/suspended for loading his gloves. How good was that going to be for boxing?

    You know that if it wasn't for the DLH fight Pac would still be at 135 and we wouldn't have Hatton/Pac, Cotto/Pac soon and possibly Mayweather/Pac, right?

    If you can't see how that fight did FAR better in boxing you must have issues or just playing stupid on purpose, any logical fan can see that turned out to be great for boxing.

    My fav getting paid has nothing to do with this, I mentioned that when Pac won and the Hatton fight was signed. My fav returned the night Pac fought Hatton. Hey, Pac is also a fav of mine rated, for me, right next to Mayweather as my two #1 favorites in boxing right now. "Favs" mean nothing, if you think what I'm saying here is wrong or rubbish then that's up to you, continue playing silly.

    Max Kellerman told like it really is - Floyd wanted to beat a "Great" little fighter that Manny Pacquiao barely beat so that he can underline and confirm his P4P status - and Floyd didn't respond to Mosley's challenge to get their fight on... "Respect me as a man... You like talking so that talking is over ( to Kellerman and concerning selection of opponents)"... There's no doubts about what this means!

    Very good points. Floyd started at 130 by the way.

    Unlike many of these morons you actaully make some decent points albeit your still off alittle....First off at the time Arum was still Floyds promoter, so making the fight would have been really easy. Had Margo wanted the fight he could have took the fight. Margo tried to do the same thing with Mosley, hide behind Arum. "OH we never got any offer." It was after this that Floyd bought himself out of the contract with Top Rank.

    As far as making the offer at a better time....Well he did have Oscar in the wings, and no was was turning down a chance to fight Oscar, which by the way is also something that Margo knew as well, which would have made it seem even more likely that he would have jumped at the offer..

    Look man the way I see this thing is like you chasing a hot chick for a year, you are getting ready to go out on a day with a not so hot chick, at which point the hot shows up and says tonight the night, what are you going to do??? Go on the date with the not hot chick, or **** the hot chick that youve been after for a year??? Its really that simple...After all Margo is known to do things that Arum didnt want him to do:good

    No **** and that's what makes people like these irrational. It's been well documented that PBF offered a fight to Shane but he turned it down. But they're silent with that. It's also been well documented that PBF agreed to fight Margo, Cotto and Hatton while he was with Arum but Arum didn't want to pay PBF what he thought he was worth PBF only wanted 10 mil to fight Hatton, Cotto, and Margo which is pennies especially considering he made 20 mil each against Hatton and Oscar and another 15 mil for JMM.

    Once again spot on. People take fights on short notice all the time. Especially when they have a fight against a top ranked fighter like PBF, that's the chance of a lifetime. Hell Simms took a fight on short notice last week against Green. **** Margo he's a disgraced limited cheat anyway and was thoroughly thrashed banned and exposed because of it.

    What's really gonna be funny is when PBF signs to fight either Pac, Cotto, Mosley or Berto next what will you ****ing haters have to say then?:yep All these claims about ducking and cherry picking will blow up in your ****ing faces. You PBF haters are living on borrowed time because PBF will be fighting the names I mentioned above next. You idiots should really get tired of being proven wrong by PBF and move on except he's the best of this era give the man his props and get over it. You would be better off doing so because these fights will happen next.:deal

    PBF faced two bigger fighters then him in Judah and Baldomir who both were title holders yet gets no credit because they are considerd B level fighters.

    PBF then faces 2 A level pound for pound fighters and gets no credit because they were smaller then him.

    I agree that whats left is to fight top welterweights.

    But its stupid to look back at PBFs last 5 fights and cry about them. At the end of the day JMM, Hatton, DLH, Baldomir, Judah were all quality fighters when PBF fought them.

    I have a question though.

    Why is DLH considerd washed up when he fought PBF at the age of 34 but yet Mosley is not at 38. DLH knocked out Mayorga before he fought PBF and only lost to Mosley on steroids and Hopkins who was to big for him 2 out of the 3 fight prior.
