    Maidana fought far better v Floyd than Manny or Hatton though.

    But didn`t David Haye stamp on Pac`s big toe on the way to the ring also?

    Not when you take what PBF said out of context dummy. The time was right the fight took too long to get made and it was long over due. That's what he's talking bout. Roach is very clear in what he said about testing and it being their fault big difference there.:deal:

    Except he literally said that he waited until the time was right.

    Except he said Ward shouldn't fight Kovalev.

    Except he said Canelo shouldn't fight Golovkin.

    Except he said to blame him for selecting Tank's hopeless opponents and that he's not interested in the Lomachenko fight.

    Except he said Muhammad Ali shouldn't have fought a whole bunch of fighters.

    Except that Oscar and Ross Greenberg both said that the media needed to ask Floyd and not Pac why the fight didn't happen. Oscar was working with Floyd at the time and Greenberg was with HBO and was a completely neutral party.

    Irrelevant! That's not what he was saying at that moment. What's not irrelevant is roach being very clear stating that it was their fault the fight didnt happen the 1st time period end of discussion.

    Nope. Floyd simply revealed the way he handled his own career. And he's invested in Tank and guiding his career the same way — by picking and choosing. He will let Tank fight Lomachenko only after Lomachenko looks poor, aged overnight, or suffers a KO loss.

    Floyd's literally the only guy I can think of that has outwardly expressed that a fighter should avoid another fighter because it's a dangerous fight.

    No that has nothing to do with what he's talking about is his situation. You can't assume it is because you want it to be. PBF back in 2009 agreed to everything even a 50-50 purse split and the weight penalty it was Pac who walked away from the fight because of testing Roach has admitted and stated it was their fault those are facts. What you're talking about is speculation, and there's a difference between speculation and fact.:deal:

    8 division champ with victories over prime Barrera, Marquez and Cotto? That's the best resume of the last 30+ years. You know it and I know it.

    Look at the names of the Pac voters. All the good posters are there. Then there is you calling them all names???
    Youre saying 69% of this forum are alts, trolls & PBF haters ?

    Your post might have been premature.

    Since you posted that, Floyd hasn't fought.

    But Pac has three decent wins over younger bigger opposition in Matthysse (KO), Broner and Thurman.


    They are very close in terms of p4p greatness.

    That said, I think Floyd still has the edge.

    I'll take a official poll from a panel of writers like the ring or ESPN over a boxing forum with agenda filled posters like you. Thanks!

    Remember when Floyd Sr said " No way am i going to let Little Floyd fight Pacquaio his health is more important than money" ROFLMAO Poor "little floyd" Daddies worried about your health if you get in the ring with Manny
    Can you imagine Cassius Clay sr saying I'm not going to let little Cassius fight that monster Sonny Liston his health is more important that money ROFLMAO
