    Back when Floyd was young Larry greeted him and wasn't greeted back for whatever reason.

    Safe to say if your name is Larry you and Floyd won't be on good terms.

    Mayweather scared? Shocking. Everybody outside a small pack of nuthuggers thinks Floyd is a scared little turd.

    :lol: You fanboys and your attempts at logic. No need to choose my words wisely with posters like you. :patsch

    Nothing I said suggests his opinion means nothing. YOU are the one who countered what Holmes said with his opinion. What, did you assume because Holmes said that, that ALL Legends think that, so you had to scurry and find an opinion that suits you?

    Guess what Cus, NOT all will agree with Holmes. To most people with some smarts, that's an automatic given. But if that's what yo get from it, that's because your just a floyd defending fanatic.

    holmes said some pretty questionable stuff but i can somewhat agree with what hes saying, although we'll never know i have mixed feelings on what mayweather feels about fight pacquiao, something tells me he wants to, something tells me he doesnt. We'll never know

    Jeez, your ignorance knows no bounds. Posters were generalizing how those old skool fighters are all against Floyd. I mentioned Eddie because he is an old skool fighter with the opposite opinion. Basically arguing against the generalization.

    And then here you come, as always, jumping into the convo. You answered that Eddie isn't a legend. Hello? Did you not see the implications you were making with such a simplistic post. What the hell does him being a legend or not have to do at all with what we're arguing? You really haven't a clue. Will you hurry up and put me on ignore like you keep threatening to do.

    Why do people need to keep restating this obvious fact? Floyd scared to death, he'd rather feast on Pacquiaos leftovers from 2009, even when Emmanuel offered bigger split to the winner :-(

    Not ignorance chump, just not playing the 'generalization game' that you seem more then happy to participate in.

    :lol: Right over your head I see. You MUST be a midget for something that simple to fly over it. :patsch

    Dayum I think there should always be an even playing field between 2 contestants so their won't be excuses later, but there is some truth to what Larry says about Floyd manning up and fighting Pacman either ways. I mean if Marquez had the balls and did it... And we all know who really won that fight. But Larry did sound alil outta line calling Pacman greatest of alltime. Alil too much credit there, but yea he does have a good point about Floyd pussying out.

    Mayweather is not scared of smaller man Pacquiao surely but he must have doubts in his mind whether he can really beat soundly this man like he always does when this guy stopped Hoya ( which he couldn't do), flattened Hatton in less than two rounds, made Cotto backpedall to survive, won a shutout against another former WW titlist in tough Joshua Clottey, broke the eye boneof the toughest motha out there in Tony Margo... I feel that he may come win that fight but he's definitely skeptic about taking it and so he goes for unexperienced young baboons like Ortiz and for Cotto who is clearly past his prime and even tho he's still tough, he lost to Margarito once, then he backpedalled against Pac, you know? We're not saying that he's scared of Pacquiao but he may have doubts that he may lose that fight and that is tremendously important for his ego.
