Why is PBF semi retired when there are so many good boxers that would challenge his

Floyd's legacy is secure ... he doesn't need an Oscar or Cotto or Margarito fight for legacy. Its all about the money now ... Floyd has paid his dues and has been in some really tough fights throughout his 10 yr reign as a champion.

 

Haha, and the day after his 32nd birthday he will be 33 in less than a year. That does NOT make him nearly 33!

 

Actualy, it does. Considering people have an average life span of over 80 years, 1 year really isn't a long time.

 

I'm like Bill O'Reilley. I opperate in the no spin zone. It's not my fault people on here don't know what they're talking about many times.

 

and at WW he hasnt done **** at still wants to be considered the best,it doesnt work like that u have to beat the best to be the best

 

Actually no, it doensn't. I know 1 year isn't a long time, but relatively speaking he is still three times closer to 31 than he is to 32, there is no way that he can be considered nearly 32 when he has only just turned 31. If that was they case then why bother saying he is 31, he's close enough to 32 apparently afterall! Why not take it a step further, if he's basically 32 already, then in a year we may as well call him 33, so let's save ourselves the effort and just say he is nearly 33 and be done with it. Then again, he is practically 34 when you think how long that is in terms of the average human life..

NO.

He is 31.

:deal

Also, a boxer is more affected by a years difference as we are talking about their peak which is usually no more than 10-15 years, so each year makes a lot more difference than when talking about the average lifespan.

 

pull back a couple of decades here.

i agree with totally in theory but times do change and if fighter *x* was fighting in our era his promoter would be balancing risk versus reward too.

with meaningless belts being used as leverage and an uninformed general fanbase it's just easy pickings and joe public will buy this lemon.

 

FRAUD legacy is not secure if he retires and ducks cotto he will be remember as a p4p coward

 

you're too predicatble and one-eyed.

just back up your argument once and put yourself on the line...

otherwise no-one's going to take you seriously.

not that i am until you post intelligently for a change.

 

Wait a minute.

I speak for everybody when I say we realise there is money involved, but that didn't stop Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, or Mike Tyson from fighting the best people out there. The money excuse is a good one, but as long as we agree that Mayweather isn't fighting the best, he is justly criticised.

Lastly, all of those names I just previously mentioned, are the same people Mayweather claims to be greater than.

 

Yeah it would be cool if Floyd fought every 2 weeks, and fought the top 20 in each division he's been in.

But he doesn't owe anyone anything.

We all know what all these Floyd hate threads are trying to say "Why isn't Floyd fighting Cotto?"

Well the answer to that question is:

Floyd WILL fight Cotto, they just don't have a deal yet - as BOTH fighters have fights scheduled in the upcoming months.

So if they're going to fight, why are you still asking "Why isn't Floyd fighting Cotto?"

BE PATIENT

 

Wow, you just called yourself a loud-mouthed, idiot a-hole. :think

 

Yea, I agree. He should fight at least twice this year instead of once and fight opponents that deserve a shot at him. He's beat Oscar already so legacy's got nothing to do with the second fight, just money. Then to hear he is interested to fight Ricky Hatton again after he destroyed, makes no sense to the true boxing fans.

 

Thats gotta be some of the most twisted "logic" Ive seen since GW said "your doing a good job, Brownie" atsch

 

Yeah it would be cool if Floyd fought every 2 weeks, and fought the top 20 in each division he's been in. - We aren't asking him to fight every 2 weeks

But he doesn't owe anyone anything. - He is a ****ing professional boxer for christ sake!!!!!!

We all know what all these Floyd hate threads are trying to say "Why isn't Floyd fighting Cotto?" - Actually, this one is bringing up a valid point asking why Floyd isn't fighting the best fighters out there. A question you've failed to answer.

Well the answer to that question is:

Floyd WILL fight Cotto, they just don't have a deal yet - as BOTH fighters have fights scheduled in the upcoming months. - History suggests that Floyd takes the path of least resistance. And after him repeatidly retiring, saying he has nothing left to prove, whilst also claiming to be the greatest of all time, boxing fans are growing justly inpatient.

So if they're going to fight, why are you still asking "Why isn't Floyd fighting Cotto?" - That is speculation. The only facts right now is that Floyd hasn't shown any interest in fighting Cotto or any other live opponents.
