    all floyd had to do was agree to pacs compromise and we get the fight. now he will go down in history as a fighter that never fulfilled his potential. pac will be higher than him on the ATG stndings because he doesn't have the ballz like pac.
     
  2. it was definitely jose luis castillo. theres no doubt about that. that fight was ****ing good. it showed me floyd isnt afraid to mix it up. if he has to, he'll stand his ground. i think he's afraid of losing his "0." i dont think kayos really frighten professional boxers. just look at rjj. this guy keeps on fighting knowing damn well his chin is made of cardboard. anyways, its not just his best victory at 135, its his best victory ever. castillo was in his prime. he was and is a very underrated fighter. i cant believe ricky "face first" hatton knocked him out.

    oh ****. sorry, i misread your post. it was probably jose luis castillo but that wasnt how he was perceived at the time. Mayweather's camp thought he was bum. it was his first and only "mistake" thus far. i dont remember who was viewed as the best.

    That Floydie "took on" from all chances a 36 years old Marquez TWO weight classes above his normal weight class, and 10lb over his last fight, shows all about his "courage". Marquez fought Pac at 125 and 130 lb, first time six years ago, and Floydieboys nuthugging representatives have the nerve to come up with a win at 36 and 146lb as somehow meaningful. Floyd ducked everyone who was a real threat, to take on a stoneage Hoya, or a guy in Hatton he knew was too dumb to beat him. Pac destroyed him in TWO rounds, one weightclass lower where Hatton was the bigger man.

    Floyd can be a capable boxer, but he has chosen to take "his" place back with slander, malice, dishonesty, and a travesty of a shitty fan entourage applauding every bitchmove of him. In two weeks, roids don't make you a physical god, but this was a grade A excuse to avoid Pacquiao while slandering him and keeping a bullshitty fantourage all sneering and rambling.

    Both fighters could sign the contract anytime during the negotiations. The reasons why they backed out.....

    Manny - 1. Not enough time recover?
    2. Ego, pride ?
    3. Superstitions ?
    4. PED ?
    5. ?

    Floyd 1. Fear of losing "zero" record

    Floyd mayweather

    "not only do i wanna fight manny pacquiao, but i wanna whip his punk ass"

    yes he wanted the fight..he said it on espn and even gave the compromise of 14 days ...it is pac who dont want it and that is very clear
