Actually Khan won the poll of who should floyd fight next. Strangely, floys ignored his official poll, after promising he would have let hte fans pick his opponent. Apparently he was sure they would have picked maidana. And maidana is only known for having derailed Broner's hypetrain. Nothing else.
atsch More like, the rest of the world thinks Floyd is a ducker, it's only the *****s that think he isn't. :hi:
Uh, let's see, what decade is this?? Nah, seriously, I starting questioning that maybe he was more interested in taking shortcuts then earning his way to the top when he was calling out Gatti. Though, I'm a hardcore fan who absolutely knew that fight was total ****, unfortunately, it was validated by his fans, casuals, Gatti's fans, and by far the most shameful of them all, the boxing media. Oh well, it all worked out for Floyd, and I'm happy for that in the business sense of boxing, as a fan, not so much...it's all a give and take.
The moment they realized he was going to more than likely retire undefeated. After that it was Floyd is ducking everybody. Because no way a fighter can never not lose. He must have never fought in real competition. The re**** logic of this day and age. Remember, Floyd is the first and only fighter in history ever to be accused of ducking someone who fights in 2 weight divisions above him.
God knows mate, hes been a ***** for years He never used to be. Castillo gave him a very tough fight, so he did what he should have and gave him a rematch That Floyd had a chance to become an ATG Now he's just gonna be remembered as a coward and a massive waste of potential
I think I started hearing it around 2007-2009. People got over him ducking Margarito, Williams, Kostya, and Cotto, but Manny was the last straw and the accusation stuck.
actually Floyd made one poll, which was a pain in the a$$ to vote on, you had to sign up to some social media BS before you could vote. espn had a poll in all there were 4 polls. khan won the poll Floyd made which sucked due to the reason above, that poll only had like 15 or 20% of the votes the other polls had. chino won the other polls in landslide fashion, wasn't even close. but all that **** doesn't matter, he should had fought khan then, the longer it goes before getting in the ring with khan the worse for Floyd. i don't think this Floyd can beat this khan, he is too fresh, too big too fast and his skills are really starting to blossom. IF Floyd is this cherry picker all you haters claim then sit back STFU and be happy. pac would be the prime candidate for a cherry pick right now. if he isn't a cherry picker, pac is still a good choice for the money it could generate him unless pac and arum keep being greedy and think they are side A1 or A2, they need to accept the 25% and deal with it, if they don't like it, they can ONLY BLAME THEMSELVES, they turned down 50/50, turned down 40M, yes lowball but that was the FIRST offer, they said 50/50 or NOTHING, they got nothing... now they need to STFU take the 25% make it at least competitive enough to warrant a rematch and maybe they could also get "lucky" ala JMM and land that perfect shot, then they can call the shots. just like ohhh wait, jmm blew pac out left him half dead after whooping his ass in the 3rd fight yet pac would NOT give in to a 50/50 for a 5th fight. what comes around goes around
Started around the Sharmba Mitchell fight. Gatti fight was a joke. People were wanting Hatton, Cotto,Tyszu... no matter why they didn't happen. Ducking Margarito then retiring sealed the deal...
