    That limited plodding windmill would have been countered to hell and back by PBF. He wouldn't have won a round. Margo doesn't have the footwork, jab or handspeed to beat PBF. He's easy to hit wide and one-dimensional PBF is a stylistic nightmare for him and it's easy to see. It would be PBF-Baldo all over again except worse because Baldo was actually more skilled than that cheat.:deal

    Exactly, it shows that Floyd was doing his business, and that Floyd saw the future while Arum truly thought AM could beat him with blinders on, and that Arum never did good business for Floyd while he had Floyd...unless you just flat out don't believe the article is not true lol...

    What bull**** those articles still havent even answered the Floyd's reasoning of fighting the guys that he does.All it proves is that Floyd showed minor interest when these guys werent such a threat to him.

    You joyboys need to face the facts, you boy is a liar and has no where proved of wanting to fight the best, yeah hes the father figure in you guys lives that you all never had, but when people get critical of Floyd dont take it all so personally, we just want answers not lies.

    You got the answers, you just choose to ignore them:lol:. If that is the case with Floyd, then PAc has ducked Guzman, Campbell, Bradley, Shane, and a host of guys from 112-122. Floyd, Dlh, Sugar Leonard, Chavez and PAc...AND others worked hard to be able to choose their next opponents, and fights the public wanted to see. They were not perceived as ducking guys until late in their careers by their critics. In their primes, nobody talked about these guys I mentioned then lol... Boom, sorry, but the fact that you use the term "joyboys" discredits you and your whole thread lol...no offense!

    Ah but you are forgetting an important aspect to why this thread was created.

    From Floyd's own mouth he said he fights guys who calls him out. Has Pacquiao ever said this?

    He fought Gatti because Gatti was his first PPV. He couldn't fight Tszyu becuase Tszyu was Showtime and PBF was HBO and they just couldn't work out a deal.

    He fought Mitchell because according to PBF none of the better fighters were available to fight at that time.

    He fought Judah because Judah held the WBC, IBF and WBA titles at the time. Though he lost the WBC to Baldomir.

    He fought Baldomir because he defeated Judah and Gatti and was close to winning fighter of the yr. He also held the WBC belt, was on a 19 fight win streak, was not defeated vs a welterweight in 9yrs. People were also stating that PBF was ducking Baldomir when PBF decided to fight Judah before Baldomir

    He fought DLH because he wanted more name exposure and 2Omil

    He fought Hatton because Hatton wasn't promoted by Arum, and Hatton was an undefeated WBC champ and known as the best fighter at 140 period. Hatton also made a slick comment about PBF, and Hatton had a huge following allowing PBF to earn 20mil I think.

    He fought JMM because JMM is not promoted by Arum, JMM was the number 2 pound for pound fighter meaning that JMM was considerd someone who no matter if they fought at 130 or 147 would be a great fight. He made 15 mil. There is also side talk about him owing DLH money or something but I don't know if that is facts.

    He didn't fight Cotto because Arum is his promoter and Arum didn't want to give PBF 10mil. He didn't fight Margo because he wanted a Nov date while Margo wanted an Aug 12 date. He didn't fight Mosley because Mosley wanted to go on vacation but I don't know why he won't fight Mosley now. He didn't fight Williams because Williams moved up to middle weight after his lose and rematch with Quintana and hasn't fought a welter since.

    Its also silly to say he avoided them when they were younger as they were bigger risk. Who did Cotto fight up to 2006 that made him worthy of PBF. Who did Margo fight up to 2006 that made him worthy of PBF. At least Hatton fought an older Tszyu. Its also documented that Mosley didn't want to fight PBF in 2006 so that Mosley's fault.

    While I agree PBF does say things that make him look bad.

    PBF didn't say he only fights guys that call him out. He was asked speically why he didn't wait for Pac and choose JMM. He stated what he stated.

    That doesn't mean that he is going to fight every single person that calls him out. It was just his reasoning for choosing JMM rather then waiting for Pac.

    If PBF doesn't break a rib as well and push his date back. Then there may have been a PBF vs Pac or Cotto fight instead of Cotto vs Pac fight. PBF had no idea if Pac or Cotto would ever fight each other so don't come trying to say he did it on purpose either.

    He also wants to fight the Undisputed. He always been this way. He will never clean a division out. You will clean the division out and he will Fight You. If you **** around he will pick a big name and make a ten million until you get it right

    He mentioned often how the ww has everybody beating eachother. If cotto beat margo floyd woulda have been back

    Who gives a ****...do you want to argue in a boxing forum like a butt hurt little girl or do you want to see Floyd fight Mosley now?

    I dont really care if Floyd ducked anybody 5 years ago or if everyone ducked Floyd 5 years ago. The point is, the fights can be made NOW but Floyd isnt willing to make them. Why? All the excuses are starting to run out.

    He'll fight Pac, because he's smaller and not as big of a threat as the other welters. Id be happy if he fought Berto, Id be happier if he fought Mosley. Any top welter will do. But its not gonna happen.

    Yes, if only Floyd had the balls to move up in weight from, say 130 lbs and fight bigger men, perhaps up to say, 154 lbs. Yes, that's the world I'd want to live in. Oh well, a man can dream.

    He was tryin to get the fight in 2006...I dont doubt that he was sincere when he said he wanted to fight Mosley in 2006...Shane coulda taken the fight too...Cotto fought Shane coming off of 3 fights in a row so shane should quit sayin that bull****...go look at cottos 3 fights leading up to shane and look at Shanes 3 fights before Floyd fought in November...

    Facts are facts man and the fight was on the table for Mosley in 2006 and he didnt take it...Now he kickin himself in the ass...I think Floyd will Fight MOsley but he wants to get the payday with lil Pac first..Pac is an easy fight for Floyd and a 22 million and prolly more...Mosley will have to wait...Also I am gonna be upset if Cotto wins and Floyd opts to face Pac still....As a Floyd fan i wouldnt see the need for a fight with Pac if Cotto juss whooped his ass...Pac fans seem to think that Pac will have an easy night with Cotto.....we'll see in a month
