memories and thoughts from a very capable fighter, and of course the disgust and disalusionment of the Fight Scene today... Nicky Furlano speak's out: MP: Youve been very vocal about Floyd Mayweather JR and his refusal to sign for a super fight with Manny Pacquiao. Back in your day the best fought the best. What is your impression of this ongoing non-signage saga? Yes, that just disgusts me. I mean, Mayweather has turned him down twice. What does that tell you? Is he scared? To me, it looks like hes scared. I mean twice! You want to be known as pound for pound king, you have to take that shot, and Manny Pacquiao is the guy thats there. Back in the old days, guys just went in there looking to be the best, to be recognized as the best. Never mind Mayweathers 41-0. That 41-0 doesnt mean nothing. Many of the fighters that he fought were you know, I dont want to say they were on the way down or not very good, but there was an angle. Thats what I think. Thats my opinion. MP: Just kicking it some how do you think Mayweather and Pacquiao would have done with Aaron Pryor? Those are two different eras there. First of all Aaron Pryor would have been too strong and thrown too many punches for Floyd Mayweather I think, in his prime. Manny Pacquiao would be too small. A Pacquiao/Mayweather super fight would be something else. I couldnt even pick it. I couldnt even tell you who would win. I just want to see it. MP: In closing is there anything youd like to say to your fans and those that supported you? I just want to thank them, everybody thats been there and stuck by me. I just want to thank all of them for sticking by me through it all.

did anybody see him fight, i saw the pryor fight and thought furlano was pretty good. how would you rate him?
Good tough fringe contender who did indeed give Pryor a tougher than expected fight. The Hawk was fading, mind you, but still, Nicky gave a good account of himself after getting dropped and almost stopped in the first round.
