    Void refuses to fight Pac no matter how much money he is offered because he is afraid he will get hurt. Void is void...........

    Let's be honest here, Mayweather is one of the most talented boxers ever. But this Bullcrap has to fstop, avoiding the toughest challenges (fights that boxing fans want to see) and then making up all these excuses to justify ducking. The fight that boxing fans (not *******s or *****s) want to see is Mayweather vs Pac, which translates to the best current boxers of this era fighting each other. I say we start a movement to boycott mayweather's fights until he has no choice but to fight Pacquiao.

    How can he be the GOAT when he:

    Missed both Casamayor & Freitas @130.

    Moved to 140 & fought TWO eliminators for Gatti's title against Corley & Brusseles whilst avoiding the man Kostya Tszyu.

    'Retiring' after the Hatton win thus avoiding facing prime Cotto, Margarito, Williams or a slightly past it Moseley.

    Ducking Pacquiao to this day.

    Forcing Canelo to fight him at a catchweight of 152, despite having already fought fights at the full 154 limit against De La Hoya & Cotto.

    Not gonna happen.

    The thing about Khan and Maidana is they have followings too, more so than a more dangerous opponent (on paper at least) such as Lara.

    People tend to forget boxing is a business first and foremost.

    You do not have to buy a Void PPV fight. Void is extremely afraid of Pac and always will be..............how many excuses has Void come up with to avoid fight Pac? Think about it..............

    He didn't really duck Tszyu. It was due to Floyd and Zoo contracts with HBO and Showtime respectively.

    That's what i think too, he has an advantage as far as skill, I would rate mayweather as a 90 as far as overall stats, I hate the fact that he chooses to fight 70's and 75's when he had 85's and 90's available. Make the fight interesting at least, and somehow fans act as is mayweather actually shares his money with them, so they go on the whole boxing is a business bullcrap. The only part of boxing that benefits us is what happens in the ring, that's the competitiveness between athletes showcasing their talents. WTF is going on with people these days??

    He'll never be the GOAT but the best moves for his legacy- which is probably within his reach is:

    -Drop to 140 and beat Danny Garcia for the lineal/Ring Junior Welterweight title
    - Fight Sergio Martinez at a catchweight between 154 and 160.

    If he beats both he will become the first fighter to hold lineal titles in 4 different weight classes at the same time.

    I've bought three of his PPVs: Mosley, Judah, and DLH. Until he fights someone I believe has a legit chance at winning, I will not buy another one of his PPVs. Maidana, Bradley, Garcia, Porter or Khan do not fit that criteria.

    Oddly enough, Lara has a better shot and than the aformentioned fighters yet their fight would be dull IMO. I'd still rather pay for it because I believe Lara would humble Floyd. Obviously I'd buy Martinez, Pacquaio, and GGG if they fought Mayweather too.

    Tszyu was with SHOWTIME and Mayweather was with HBO. Didn't Mayweather call out Mosley, right after he beat DLH, only to be turned down?. That said, how the hell would he "wait" for DLH to be past his prime?, why was DLH going to fight Mayweather who was unknown back then anyway?. It's easy to mash in "he ducked everyone" with zero knowledge to back it up.
