    Floyd Mayweather fear of Manny Pacquiao is unbelievable, this guy took ducking to another level. He envisioned himself getting hurt badly fighting Pacquiao and flat out said my health come first. He got so fed up with people confronting him about the fight and flat out said I'm a coward so if you don't want to watch a scared fighter don't watch me. He needs help from his fans because they obliviously believe he can beat Manny Pacquiao but he can't. We joke around about him having a poosy but I'm starting to be skeptic, maybe he really does have a poosy between there. I mean I've seen bigger hump from camel toe then his leaked so called baby dick photo.

    Floyd certainly does have a lack of cojones problem. In fact Dani one of the ringcard girls recently said. " Watch Floyd closely he has a lot of female tendencies, he's not a trannie is he" ? That brought the house down I can tell you

    I know this is just another Mayweather hate thread, but there is no way that the May-Pac situation compares to what transpired with BOWE. The man literally threw his belts in the trash can and vacated immediately when it was time to face LL.

    It is worse he has retired then come back and avoided him for over 5 years while trying to convince fans he is the best.he may beat PAC now,he may not but he would have smashed floyd to bits around the time he blitzed cotto

    It's a bit more complicated than that. The bottom line is that facing Lewis wasn't worth the risk. Lewis wasn't that well known in the U.S. at the time, and more money could be made facing better known American fighters.

    Bowe and Newman wanted an easy defense against Michael Dokes and then they were going to face Ray Mercer, which would have sold well in the U.S. due to their being less than the best of friends while on the U.S. Olympic team. Jesse Ferguson beat Mercer, which killed that fight.

    Then, there was the Holyfield rematch which was a big, big money fight for both. By the time all these fights took place, Lewis would also have time to get better known in the states and thereby generate more money. Bowe and Newman didn't plan on Holyfield upsetting the applecart by winning the second fight

    Incidentally, a Bowe-Lewis fight was also all but signed for 1995, but Lewis went and got himself knocked out by McCall, which scuttled those plans.

    Stuff like this happens in boxing. The reason most fights that fans want to happen don't can always be traced back to finances, not to some imagined "fear" that boxers have of facing one another. It's all about the Benjamins, man.:deal

    Floyd did the same thing also but before that health already came first:lol:.

    Floyd: Belts mean everything to me, maybe one day I'll have my face on the belt like Ali.

    PAC is next in line to fight for the belt.

    Floyd: Belts mean ****, PAC can have the belt :lol:.
