    You just need to look at his legacy now. A few undefeated champions to be named would be, Rocky Marciano and Joe Calzaghe. These people are regarded among the best of all times, and arguably the best of their division in their era. What about Floyd? You have a guy who goes on Youtube and says "I won't fight who fans want, I care about my money and my health, I'm a coward, but a rich coward.". What kind of legend is this? A lousy one for sure. He will always be remembered as a ducker who was too afraid to face Pac. And I reckon with all the senseless gambling it won't be too long for him to lose his wealth after he retires.

    All mouth like his hero. Let's see the fight. Mayweather has talked the talk, let's see him walk the walk. Pacquiao is publicly calling him out, Arum clearly is in accord with the demands, so what's the **** ing problem?

    I'm not trolling troll. I'm speaking the facts. Pbf doesn't need Pac for legacy Pac needs pbf more. His atg ranking won't improve that much with or without him on the other hand pacs will become greater if he were to beat pbf.

    The problem with people like you is that you believe everything arum and Pac say and then say everything pbf says is a lie. If Pac has agreed and signed post the contract online. Arum has a history of getting in the way of fights but people like you are too blind to see it. Gamboa - Lopez. He's held fighters hostage like Chavez Jr and mikey Garcia and they want to leave his ass. Also when you look at cotto when he was with arum no fight gets made as soon as he leaves we get the fight. There is a problem with arum he's full of **** but guys like you buy it because you like Pac and hate pbf.

    Yes this is what haters are to blinded to see. He didnt want Pacquiao to fight mayweather in 2010 when it mattered most and it didnt happen and Roach comes out and says they blew it.

    Arum is known for this, Ruined gamboa but not getting him any fights, Chavez jr like you stated, not getting Bradley any fights, its ridiclous

    And you believe everything Mayweather says too, so if you're going to make a point, make one that you're not guilty of either. If Arum is lying, now is the time for Mayweather to call his bluff. Unfortunately it's not a bluff, so Mayweather isn't to keen to come to the table and sign

    Schaffer posted the contract years ago. I'm saying everyone is taking arum and pacs word like it's absolutely true with no proof other than them saying so. What did they agree to? They could have agreed on a date only or a venue or maybe nothing at all but know they can say this because Pac is the good guy and everyone will believe him. Arum has played you people for fools for years and he has a track record of standing in the way of fights ripping people off and holding fighters hostage for years.

    It doesn't look good for Floyd, Pac or boxing in this era. Imo Floyd looks a little worse than Pac in this.

    No I don't I believe there is fault on both sides and never mind the whole hbo Showtime thing. With that said pbf could call his bluff and say what's really going on and people will just say he's ducking Pac. Arum has won this pr war because he has the good guy in Pac and people don't like pbf so if the fight doenst happen people will put all the blame on pbf and none on Pac.
