    He hasn't been forced into anything you Margo ****sucker. PBF said last year I think before the first Maidana fight that he had a surprise for his fans in May 2015 but I guess you don't remember that because it helps destroy your PBF hate agenda.

    So you're saying Floyd was forced to fight a cherry pick in his quote unquote rival?:blood

    youre stretching the truth here, I have heard the last statement,but not to be first two ever, everybody here knows pac has earned it, and there has been countless debates about his drawing power in comparison to the Ppv king in mayweather, so we know he's a big draw being #2.

    It's has been proven by roach's own admission, that it was their own fault the fight did not happen earlier.

    Exactly, Floyd has been past his best for a year already. You can't beat father time and Floyd is the older of the two. Ask yourself, when's the last time Pac anyone at their best? Maybe Barrera I?

    Pacquiao is the best welterweight Floyd could fight, but he ain't like he was. Pacquiao has slipped a lot since 2009. It's a good fight, but it is slightly tainted like the De La Hoya, Cotto, and Mosley fights do to the opponent's age. Plus, fighting Pacquiao now doesn't wipe out about ten years of cherry picking. Floyd would have to fight Golovkin or Ward to wash his name clean at this point.

    It wasn't until Floyd left Bob Arum/Top Rank that this kind of talk started.

    It is truly unbelievable that people are finding things to complain about. The fight is finally happening, and people are *****ing and moaning. These two are still the top two in the division. Only in boxing, fans complain a fight hasn't happened, then they complain when it does.
    When Floyd was gonna fight Amir khan, he was cherry picking , then he decided not to, and he was ducking. He was scared of Canelo, then it was a cherry pick. He was scared to give maidana a rematch, then he gave him the rematch, and it was a cherry pick. He ducked a prime mosely, even though it was mosely who didn't want the fight. He ducked a prime Cotto, even though it was arum blocking it. He fights past their prime fighters, but it's the same fighters that manny fought.
    Both guys are great fighters, two of the best of this decade. And instead if appreciating it, fans discredit both fighters. Floyd cherry picks, Manny was on peds. I'm a big manny fan, but these boards make it tough to remains fan.

    So how come Manny doesn't get bashed for cherry picking. He fought the sane de la Hoya, Moseley, and Cotto that Floyd fought.

    But Mayweather was more than 3 years older than Cotto when they fought. He's 4 years older now than Hoya was when he fought Hoya. He's also about the same age now as Mosley was when they fought. And of Course he's older than Pacquiao.

    Ofcourse he is, he is ducking Khan, Lara, Martinez, Golovkin and insert name he hasn't fought...

    In case he beat Pac, he waited until Pac was shot, and he doesn't dare fight whoever is the flavor of the month boxer.

    In case he loses, Pac proved he was always best, and FMJ was a cherrypicker.:tired
