    *****s keep spinning **** around in an attempt to save Floyd. I keep using the same answer to all their questions and they keep failing to keep Floyd from looking like he's scared of Pacquiao. :lol:

    Isn't Pacquiao a boxer? Why isn't Floyd fighting? Oh wait didn't he opt to fight Old man Mosley instead of Pacquiao right after Pac destroyed Cotto?

  8. Ok you got me there. The thing you have to consider though is that floyd is not a fulltime boxer like pacquiao and only fights once a year. He laces his gloves when he feels the opponent is a worthy opponent and when it also makes economic sense. :good

    So making more than 40million doesn't make sense? Didn't Floyd already state Pacquiao is an easy fight? :lol:

    Stopped reading at this point. It's enough to demonstrate that you're ignorant on this topic. Mosley may have been tested eighteen days before the fight, but he could have been tested at any point up to the fight. There's a big difference between being tested eighteen days prior but being open to testing until the fight and having it stipulated that you may not be tested for eighteen days no matter what. Figure it out.

    If it was all about not doing what another fighter wants, how many fights would actually happen? Manny made demands, which were accepted. But, he would not accept the key demand that was made of him. Negotiation means there is give and take. Floyd compromised on his original demand...Manny REQUIRED THAT HE COMPROMISE. That is the difference.

    Manny is a DIVA...period. Floyd is too. I just happen to agree with Floyd's stance on the testing, and I think Manny is the bigger Diva, at this stage of his career. Cotto is a WARRIOR. Shane is a WARRIOR. These are examples of fighters who go in there with the odds against them, and do not make a whole bunch of demands, which put the fight in jeopardy. They just want to prove they are the best.

    If it was all about NOT doing what another fighter wants...Manny would not have a DIAMOND BELT at 145 lbs. And he would not be campaigning for another paper title at 150 lbs either.

    Well, someone had to give Mosley a big shot. He'd sure earned it. Unfortunately, Pacquiao's team - Roach himself - said that Mosley would be too big a risk for Pacquiao and that Pacquiao would not be allowed in the ring with him. So, Floyd did the right thing and took the best possible opponent out there and the guy many said he'd never dare fight. Floyd boxed Mosley's ears off.
