    too bad the people who are supposed to have his best interests in mind and be lookin out for him dont really care....and the guys that had been with him for a long time have taken a back seat for the most part.....manny started seein 7 and 8 figure checks and that **** was like hypnosis.....i hope things work out for him....would be a shame to see him getting his head beat in years from now for 3-5 million bucks

    No way Floyd is bad for this sport....i dont care how much you dislike him or who he hasn't fought.

    FACT...he is regarded as P4P#1 by anyone who has credibility in the game and has been for close to a decade now

    FACT....he has been P4P top ten for over a decade

    You dont achieve this by being bad for the damn sport...

    Actually achieving that is what puts someone in the position of being good or bad for the sport as a whole in the first place. Dont confuse being good AT the sport with being good FOR the sport.

    Buckdacious did make a valid point though regarding putting SHO on the map. Thus far at least, that has probably been more positive than negative.

    Floyd brings alot of attention(good and bad) for the boxing and that is extremely good for the sport even it is negative. It keeps the sport on the headlines.

    If we look as sporty aspects Floyd for this sport he sometimes is bad for it... Some of those fights.:-(

    but didn't fight the one man who genuinely challenged that mantle
    out of all fights he didn't make, the one that mattered most was the one that didn't take place

    no amount of $$$ or P4P rankings will ever change that

    a great paycheck for an under-appreciated fighter. besides the point though, who else is scared for him against the almighty GGG?
    me.
