I'll respond by quoting myself from the thread.

I'm sure someone will respond "yeah talk is cheap he never had any intention of fighting those guys." Ok, draw upon your knowledge of boxing history: has anyone ever publicly called out a guy that they wanted nothing to do with? NEVER. They either don't mention the person at all as to not draw attention to them, make excuses as to why they can't fight them, or make very non-commital statements like "we'll see how it goes" or "it's up to my promoter". Nobody ever calls out a guy by name that they want to avoid, that's just lunacy.

I'm not going to get into another Floyd/Pac "who's fault was it" debate. If people want to believe Floyd's a pussy, a faggot, is deathly afraid of Pacquaio and never had any intention on fighting him, that's what they're going to believe, whatever.

But you tell me what Floyd had to gain by publicly calling these guys out and not fighting them? Almost all of the guys he called out were bigger names than him at the time.

What people forget is that Floyd wasn't always Money May, the #1 guy in boxing. For a LONG time, he was an ultra-talented virtuoso with no name value, who couldn't draw flies to shit. He was the guy on the outside and he was calling these guys out because he desperately wanted a big money fight that would put him on the map. Why would a guy in that position be ducking and dodging the top guys? It makes absolutely no sense. You'd have to be a moron to believe that.
