Floyd Mayweather: "Nobody is forced to watch me"

[toe2toe]

Floyd Mayweather: “Floyd Mayweather is not scared of no opponent. I don’t duck or dodge nobody, but I earned my stripes. So I can pick and choose who I want to pick and choose. I fight who I want to fight. Nobody is forced to watch me.”

What spurred this? The fact that he keeps hand picking opponents like he owns boxing?

Floyds beaten the best there is though and there's not too much out there for him around 140-154 and there's no reason he should go up in weight. He beat easily the biggest threat around Canelo. So why can't he pick who he wants? He said it how it is he has earned his stripes.

I wouldn't mind staying true to the game and letting the org. or the fans pick...

Sure, he let the fans pick Maidana- but there was only one other selection, which was Khan.

jmo... it's a false choice. It's like someone asking you to choose between cow dung and horse manure for the best quality steak. At the end of the day, you are choosing between shit- not even close to steak.

This is only one fight though and you look who's about and Maidana is a champion he beat Broner. Khan as we know is a popular fighter who brings something different to a lot of fighters around and that's speed. Who do you think he should fight then? Pacquiao and Bradley can't be included because of Arum. I can really only think of Garcia who stands out.

[Beanflicker]

Floyd's in a unique position where he can pick and choose.

And it's not like he's choosing bums. There really just aren't many credible opponents for him at 147-154 outside of Pacquiao and Bradley.

Lara and Trout are far bigger threats then Canelo. He has earned his stripes but certainly hasn't fought the best.

Oh yeah,,, then I guess we'll be seeing a Mayweather/PacMan fight next few months right??

WRONG!

Brrr Br Br Brrrr

Chicken Floyd!!!

[beenKOed]

What Floyd knows, all too well, is that half the people who watch his fights are watching to see him lose.
Almost everybody thinks Floyd will win, but they can't bear the thought of not seeing him lose, so they watch.

I haven't gone out of my way to watch a Mayweather fight since he fought Shane Mosely. Never have I bought a ppv for Floyd since....

Smart man.. I dont order floyd ppvs unless the homies all pitch in.. its not about the money but more about principle for me..

I aint gonna help a boring fighter like floyd get rich. Uh uh fuck that.

[Spicoli]

"Not being forced to watch me" from a guy who nearly tongues the camera at every oppurtunity while refering to himself in 3rd person I'm sure almost half the people who watch do so in hopes Floyd will lose, then again him being hit by a bus will make them happy too..and its FREE . Of Floyd, you silly git!

I don't get how people think he's boring. Punching with that much speed and precision as well as making top quality fighters look ordinary are the reasons why I watch. His fights aren't boring to me. He's the best in the sport and I love boxing more than any sport, so why wouldn't I wanna watch?

[Master]

Floyd is taking the path of least resistance into retirement. How realistic is it for Floyd to fight Sergio, especially if Martinez looks impressive and wipes out Cotto. Floyd will not press for a fight with Manny/Bradley either.

Garcia is not ready and will not be fighting at 140lb.

It's no that... but with most of his opponents, I don't expect any drama. See? With Maidana vs. Broner, I expected Broner to get hit- not to lose as wide as he did, but to get hit and tested and for drama to unferl.

With a Floyd fight, it's such a wash out even before the fight begins, it makes no sense watching it- it's not "must see TV" UNLESS you are a fan of his record. And, to be honest, he will not break Marciano's record or even Chavez Sr.'s record... so, what is there to watch?

If Floyd decides to 1. Fight Pacman and/or 2. Go for Marciano's record, then it's something to go and see. Shit, I may steal a few pennies to fly in for the last, historic, record breaking affair. But it won't be that- just a stream of good guys who we know he will mop the floor with- I can see that on replay.

Floyd, since Corrales, has been extra special spectacular. And, since Castillo 2, has been super, duper, extra special spectacular- we know this. We respect. But it's not "must see TV".... he has spoiled us.
