    ...

    (the urge)

    ...

    So, where does this leave Mayweather? All the big fights where people accused people of ducking were made.

    What about Mayweather?

    Sure, Donaire got beat, but he's still a star.

    Klitschko suprised many by dominating Haye, but Haye was still a great fighter to watch. Too bad about his injury.

    But Mayweather...

    He just couldn't get the urge.

    Thoughts?

    Good points, but I don't remember Wlad ducking Haye or Donaire ducking Rigo.

    I know Wlad was salivating at the idea of fighting Haye when Haye started all the shiit.

    And Donaire vs Rigo was never in question as to getting made, but which style would prevail. It's a good matchup, and needs to happen again.:think

    If there was no Mayweather roadblock, there would BE NO ROAD BLOCK.

    I don't think you can compare these situations Haye didn't turn down a 50/50 split when offered like Pacquiao did at one point and Rigo accepted everything he needed to fight Donaire. At the height of the fight Pacquiao had like 20 demands all his demands were met and still said no. Both them guys are at fault the fight didn't happen

    Duckweather hides under the bed everytime he hears the name ¨Pacquiao¨

    I heard he almost had a heart attack once, when he was passing nearby an old Pac-man arcade

    Incidently, Donaire demanded that Rigo undergo OSDT.

    Myth. Pac didn't have any demands except for the overweight clause, which is rightfully so given Mayeather cheated JMM on the scales.

    50/50 wasnt a 'demand', Floyd was coming back from retirement, Pac was rated p4p no.1 and many considered Pac to be a bigger star back then. He had just beaten Miguel Cotto and was at the height of his popularity. Meanwhile PBF was coming off a win over JMM who he cheated on the scales.

    In terms of demands, it was Mayweather who requested chit like "first billing". As for the drug test, you gotta go back in time when there was no USADA/VADA and Floyd first accused Pac before asking for drug test, it was seen as an insult and many saw it as a witch hunt. Pac also agreed to the tests, blood test 21 days before the fight, unlimited urine testing, post fight locker room blood test.

    "Take the test we have a fight" -Floyd
    Then Pac called PBF's bluff with the drug test. No fight.

    "Pac you're next" - Floyd
    Dont put words in my mouth

    "I'm a rich coward"
    "Dont have the urge"
    "My health"
    "He went from ordinary to extraordinary"


    Need a bigger purse" - Floyd
    Pac called his bluff, needs new excuse.

    Fighting David Haye is comparable to fighting Hatton.

    A guy who ruled the division below and who picked up a belt at the higher division.

    Floyd fought 95% of all the boogeymen that people have created in their minds but afterwards they instantaneously became bums.

    People accused KLITSCHKO of ducking Haye, not the other way around.

    Klitschko fought Povetkin, Byrd, Chagaev, Haye, Peter and Ibragimov. Who the **** did Mayweather fight? Despite all the stick Calzaghe gets at least he can say he fought and beat Hopkins. Which of course is a much, much better win than anybody Mayweather ever beat.
