Floyd ducked his way to 45-0? BS

Floyd took the bigger money to fight a champ, I won't dispute that.

It's hard to believe he got 8 million to fight Baldomir in 2006..

Where would that kinda money come from?

What choice would any smart person take?

More money and a belt is the best option.

He claimed to have got $1 dollar more, 8 million and 1 which is a joke..

The 8 million offer for margarito was on the table and floyd declined..

If I remember correct, Dan Goosen was the one who offered floyd 8mill and 1 to floyd..


Do u honestly believe that "Dan Goosen" has the power to put up that kind of money for a baldomir fight? Lol and this was in 2006!

Bob Arum offered Floyd the 8 million to fight Margarito on a set date in the summer of 2006. Floyd said he couldn't be ready for a summer fight, as he injured his right hand against Judah in April. When Floyd said no to a summer fight, Arum used the date to feature Rahman/Maskaev 2 instead.

As for whether or not Floyd got 8 million for the Baldomir fight, who the fuck knows? Goosen went on record saying that he would put up that money and was willing to take a loss for the opportunity to promote more Mayweather bouts in the future and it's certainly possible the Mayweather name attracted more interested investors.

Aroudn the time Floyd turned the Marg fight down, he said he wanted to keep his schedule clear because he was waiting for the outcome of DLH/Mayorga to see if he could get the illusive DLH fight.

Is it possible Floyd wanted the easy fight vs Baldomir so as not taking the chance to fuck up a potential DLH fight? For sure. But does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? Who actually thought slow, plodding Margarito would have had a chance against Floyd?

Right, but yet you have absolutely no retort for anything that's been said.

I wonder where all the Floyd haters went? It's not fun being presented with actual documented facts that tears apart your nonsense theories I guess...

Well everybody watch's Floyd in the hope, he gets sparked he plays us all clever guy,!
he may well pick his fights with care.
But like him or loathe him we all tune in to see him perform, the bull shit the hype what
ever you call it, he still sells plenty of PPV does he not. !
Floyd has generated more money in the history of boxing, than any other fighter and he's
not a Heavyweight, so he's doing something right.

Where did all the Floyd haters go? They never touched this thread.

Floyd in recent years has handpicked his fights which is very frustrating. You can say he hasnt but if he was going for legacy there have been much bigger challenges for him. He waited until Canelo looked shit against Trout before fighting him and even then sets a BS catch weight. Floyd would win at 160 let alone 152. But what really frutrates me is he'll fight certain guys at certain weights and not others. Lara is his biggest challenge but wont fight him. Apart from that, probably the biggest fight next to Pac is against GGG who said he would fight at 154 but no chance of that happening either. Martinez a few years back called out Mayweather for a fight at 154.

Floyd is certainly the best boxer around at the moment but to think he fights the best opposition is wrong.
