Boxing Perspective: Is Floyd Mayweather Jr Looking To Become Another Cliche?

[LEGION]

I dont know Kel it would be so huge. Surley its tempting to him it would seal up everything for ever, I think Floyd would study and out smart Manny and catch him comming in and screw with his timing. I dont think he fears Manny, if he does, then why Marquez ?

For what it's worth I agree. I see Floyd handling Pacman pretty decisively. I never thought Floyd feared anyone; maybe if I had to pick one I'd say Williams, but Paul was high risk low payout because he had no marketability behind him at the time and maybe still doesn't shameful as that is.

But there is no one else he fears{if he even did in some way at all with Williams} and easy work with all of them except Paul, maybe. Some people say he left due to fear; I think it's more due to disdain of the comp. and getting bored; though I know I'm stretching my opinion a bit far on that one.

Well, I think Cotto Floyd or Mosley Floyd would make more than a Marquez fight and add much more to his resume. The thing is, Cotto and Mosley are more dangerous than an old blown up lightweight.

His fear....is of losing most probably, not of dangerous fighters. His ego could not take a defeat because all his talk and self hype is based around being undefeated. Just like Naz.

Agreed about adding to his resume; most definately. No matter why he left, personally I think he should have fought some of those guys. Though I think he schools Cotto he could conceivably have problems with Mosley; Margarito he would have made look like Kid Thunder, Clottey similar t the Baldomir fight, etc. Mosley I think he more wanted to snub him than fight him because of not getting that fight years ago when he was calling out Shane.

As far as fear of losing not fear of dangerous opponents; I'm not sure I follow you bro'. Don't they go hand in hand? Like I said personally I don't think he feared them as dangerous opponents and certainly not afraid he might somehow pull up short with them; and if for arguments sake he was afraid of Williams the $$$ wouldn't have been there to make sure the risk was worth it; would it?? I'm confusing myself now for some reason and fear I'm chasing my tail
