My motha f**kin man Floyd!!!

[rjj tszyu]

Don't want to be a spoilsport here, but...... where was all this bravado a couple of years back?
Why now..... all of a sudden, it's "step up punk"?

Just wondering.

Personally I think Mayweather is going to announce his retirement and I really think he wanted to go out at the very top by beating the only person left that he will get real credit for whooping.

Just my thoughts!

Just my thoughts!

Why NOW, though? Why not a couple of years back? He's not mentioning any conditions now, is he. It's "step up, punk." Fight NOW, on MY timetable, before I have to go off to jail.

He could've "beat the only person left that he will get real credit for whooping" a long time ago. Why didn't he? Why so many conditions? Where are the conditions NOW? Why does he go into "retirement" in his PRIME, while all other top fighters keep busy doing what they do for a living..... fight.

Like Diane said in an earlier post.... Floyd isn't stupid. But he sure thinks boxing fans are. Gotta be the only explanation.

I'm not saying he would, or he wouldn't beat Pac. I'm saying he has spent the better part of his prime acting like a spoiled brat, instead of giving fight fans what they crave.... the best against the best. Why don't we feel the need to have these conversations about all the other top fighters? Answer: Because all the other top fighters just FIGHT. They don't go prancing around like prima donnas, thinking they're bigger than the sport.

You gotta be starved for heroes, when you latch onto somebody like Pretty Boy Floyd.

Maybe he is running into big Money issues right now with all the legal stuff going on with him at the moment. The only fight that would make him a lot of money at the moment would be Pac?

The guy's a fukking loser. Wants Pac to jump through hoops now, like someone else very accurately said. Fukk him. Pac doesn't need his prima donna ass.

Pacquiao doesn't fall too far from Prima Donna status either, and Floyd doesn't really need Manny's ass to sell tickets as shown in every PPV he's headlined, both guys are to blame for this fight not coming off, as of right now Floyd is calling out Pacquiao and making all the noise for the fight to be made, Arum and Manny are running from questions that have to do with the fight and only give bullshit excuses not to make the fight happen, I don't give a fuck why Mayweather is calling out Manny now all I know is that he's finally doing it, Manny was plenty vocal of wanting the fight and that he would take the fight on a minute's notice, so what the hell is the problem, make the fucking fight for May and stop the damn drama

C'mon you know this isn't badminton... it's boxing. Fight me now before I get my ass hauled off to jail just doesn't cut it in boxing. There's a reason fights take a lot of preparation and training. This isn't a gradeschool "meet me outside" fight. This is Floyd expecting Manny to all of a sudden drop everything and rush to fight him under Floyd's timetable. Manny has always been available.... AND.... he's always kept himself busy. Floyd, on the other hand, fights when it suits him. When it doesn't, he goes prancing off.... getting himself into all kinds of trouble and imposing bullshit "retirements" on the fans. Floyd's fans (all 200 of them) will forgive Floyd for whatever he does, and make excuses for the guy left and right. Fan or not, I'd give money to see a diehard Floyd ONLY ONCE come out and say he's tired of Floyd's bullshit. But it's never going to happen. Must've been some brainwashing job.

May is FOUR MONTHS AWAY, not tomorrow. Moreover, Arum was all about "Manny will fight next in May or June, so he can't wait for Mayweather to get out of jail" -- until the jail sentence got pushed; at which point the new story was, "well Manny can't possibly fight in early May because he got a cut in November. And I'd need to build a stadium."

I'm with ElTerrible. I can't stand Floyd but he is making noise now and asking for the fight and there's no legitimate reason for it not to happen.

Geez the haters are out in full force as usual.

Wrong - You must have missed me calling him a bitch and unprofessional when he came in overweight against JMM...you must have missed me recently say that if the Guererro fight happens its a bullshit fight.

I just LOVE to call people out who say one thing and then the next week do a complete 180 because they simply hate the guy..like Miles saying he'd respect him for fighting Mosley..then as soon as the fight is over he was ovef the hill. I even remember reading a thread from Daxx Khan saying Baldomir was too much of a challenge, too big n too strong for Floyd that he would quote "steamroll" Floyd.

Then of course Baldomir is a blemish on Floyds legacy when he wins every round.

Lol it's funny to see..With Floyd hindsight is always 20-20..He fights, you pray he will lose or be in big trouble in a fight. He comes out unscathed and the hate escalates.

I will always call shit how I see it..simple as that. Some people don't. Im not referring to you TitoFan as I actually agree with a few of your points about Floyd. Like his "retirement" when boxing was hot. But realistically what fights could have been made with non-Arum fighters during that period that you lot woukd have been happy with?

"Uto-uto"... this is the word! I've no direct translation, except maybe gullible, but more fittingly in this context is, "bullcrap's buyer ", "manure vendors"... or "excrete facilitators"... one can go on and on.

This is the worst case scenario that we can be as fight fans... it gives these pretenders, supposedly or boastfully GOAT claimants' so many outs that they do not need.

If the sport of boxing is to remain true to the established tennets for integrity... the best against the best, then, this is what it should strive for at all times. In its quest to be represented by the ultimate champion, there is no other, no better blueprint.

Mediocrity plagues the sport as of late, and we can put "uto-uto" type fanatacism equally guilty together with the pretenders who've successfully peddled smoke and mirrors as the source that has plagued this sport.

Stop buying crap... to somehow stop these DUCKINGs for this may force the the hand of these claimants to finally let their SKILL speak louder than their TWEETS! For a change.

Talk is cheap, sign and FIGHT!

I don't know I'm not Floyd but retiring in his prime?? Really? I've followed boxing a long time and I'm yet to come across a Welterweight in his prime at 35. Floyd is no longer in his prime but he will still MASSACRE Pac. It's that simple, he's just far too good and hopefully Pac will step up so he can prove it.

I believe the reference was to Floyd's "retirement" following the De la Hoya fight, taking himself out of the game for 2 years in what really was still his prime.
