    Floyd ducked Pacquiao, I'm not hating, it just blatant to me.

    Who brought up the testing issue BEFORE testing was an issue for fear of their health? Fear.

    Who is on video saying multiple times his health comes first with regards to a fight with Pacquiao and that money or the media wont look after him if something does happen?

    Who's daddy is on record saying he fears for his sons life?

    Who's named "money" and loves the limelight, YET, fought much lesser fighters for less money and avoided an "easy" fight that involved what would have been the biggest sporting event outside of the superbowl?

    Who's best friend admitted on TV, despite trying to say it was a promoters issue and ego issue, that his best friend DID duck Pacquiao?

    Floyd is not as delusional as his fanboi's, he probably thinks he can beat Pacquaio but he knows stylistically, he presents the biggest risk.

    It could be the "Arum" issue and Floyds pride but hey, what better way would it have been to stick it to Arum than beating his best fighter, making a career payday, putting the biggest name on his legacy, conquering his rival and being involved in the biggest PPV event in history?

    ^^^

    This is where that came from. You seem preoccupied with the fact that because in your opinion Floyd is the better boxer the fight is a foregone conclusion.

    Of course I would pick Pac to beat Alexander but that doesn't mean I think Devon has no chance of winning.

    To give you one of just hundreds of examples.

    I thought and still do that Jorge Linares is a better boxer than Antonio Demarco and for ten rounds it looked that way but Demarco found a way to win. Styles make fights.

    I hear what you're saying but sometimes the level in skills is just too great and to add Alexander is a home boy but I would give him no chance to beat Pac.

    If Cotto can win 3 rounds against Floyd don't you think Pac has a chance of scraping a couple more and making things interesting?

    It is still the best fight to be made at 147 even if it is 4 years overdue.

    I see the same outcome 8-4 or 9-3.Fights are a lot easier to pick than people think don't get caught up in hype and you can get 8 out of 10 easy.

    Who cares what Floyd says at this point . That video where he goes on a rant about pacquiao tells you he never wanted any part of pacquiao.As Floyd himself said it he won't get into a fight he knows he won't win.

    Linares is a better boxer than DeMarco but Linares cuts easily.Thats all there is to it.

    How did Mayweather kill the Manny fight?

    5050 split and a 14 day cutoff...
    How is that killing the fight??

    What about the stadium that had to built?
    Or
    The cut that needed 6 months to heal
    Or
    Needing more time to gather investors to make the fight in DUBAI.

    THAT is what killed the fight

    As a fan of the sport you think its good that we were deprived of one of the biggest fights of this era?For all the yapping he did about him being the best he sure put up alot of road blocks to not make the fight happen.

    so i guess this means that floyd's offer that he'd fight pac if he joins tmt promotion is off the table.

    somebody from team pac probly told floyd that pac may be considering coming to tmt resulting in this announcement.

    If JMM can put Manny to sleep on his face but can't win a round off Floyd that should tell you something.

    He rematched Pac numerous times but doesn't want anything to do with a Mayweather rematch.:deal

    Floyd's "roadblock"
    Random testing

    Check who really put up the roadblocks

    "14 day too close....I sill in hebby training":lol:
    "We need more time to build a temporary stadium":patsch
    "This fight should be in Dubai"
    "Manny's cut needs more time to heal".....(.6 months):lol:
