Floyd avoiding Thurman now!

[Silkeyjoe]

This shit is getting ridiculous. Floyd will be avoiding the Charlo brothers next. Why would Thurman even be on Floyds radar at this point? Its asinine and the pundits that write this garbage are strokers.

Why would Khan be on Floyds radar? Lost 2 of last 5, struggled agaisnt a guy Thurman flattened and one of them a nobody. Yea sounds like the type of opponent Floyd likes. Thurman is more deserving of a shot then Guerrero or Maidana was. Pathetic that you defend him for targeting weak opposition

You beat me to it. Add to that an old Mosely, and a more than hyped Victor Ortiz, what exactly from IamInuit's logic are we to deduce??

Dude. What you been smoking ?

Maidana beat Adrien Broner to get Floyd. Broner was seen as the next FM.

Guerro had beaten a succession of top quality fighters to get Floyd, Katsidis, Berto, Casamayor.

Thurman should go fight a Tim Bradley, Shawn Porter, Canelo, Demetrius Andrade....see how he get's on...should he fight one of them guys and DESTROY them or win convincingly then you could take him seriously in assessing his chances of beating FM.

Absolute horse shit with the sentence highlighted in red. Maidana whooped Broner's ass because it was presented to him, and Broner was feeling he was more than what he was at WW.

It was only WHEN Broner went crying, did Mayweather's ego kick in and decided he would prove he would always be better than Broner when he is off the scene. Regardless of what Broner felt about himself.

Mayweather's ego caused the Maidana fight. And proved Broner's worth as Mayweather did struggle for the first fight, and fought an unmotivated Maidana in the second fight.

Maidana was not even thinking about fighting floyd when he mashed broner. When da fuc did broner become the mayweather gate keeper. Broner was shit before maidana and shit after. This logic is the shit gayweather fans came up with to keep him from looking like the lil bitch he has been for the last few years

Guerrero hadn't done anything other than beat Berto and that was after Ortiz beat Berto. Casamayor and Kastidis were wins at lightweight.

Other than Berto, he had only fought one other time at welterweight and that was a tough outing against Aydin.

Ortiz had also only beat Berto. Prior to fighting Berto, he had a draw against Lamont Peterson and had been stopped by Maidana.

Guerrero and Ortiz got the Mayweather fight because they beat Andre Berto.

[Silkeyjoe]

Broner had a SD win over Paullie Mallignaggi before Broner. Thats the first clue of how good Broner is at Welter. My argument is Floyd avoids the most dangerous fighters. The counter argument seems to be the dangerous opponent brings nothing to the table money wise. If that was the case why did he avoid Pac which would have been the biggest payday in history? Floyd just doesnt fight live fighters. He is the best fighter on the planet but the mans a pussy. Any man who beats on women is a pussy. If he was interested in being TBE hed fight these guys but he doesnt give a shit. ALl he cares about is money and he knows he can only get paid what he does with an unbeaten record, so he wont risk it against any dangerous looking fighter.

What does fighting Gurerro have to do with the flavour of the month in Thurman and this ridiculous notion that Floyd is ducking him? Robert beat the snot out of Berto and then followed it up with a waxing of Aydin and that's after jumping straight from 135. What has Thurman done save managing a win over Diego Chaves? and a couple of journeymen in Diaz and Karass. Have him beat Porter or challenge Brook.

Floyds a fight or two from ending his career.

Seriously get a grip!

Jesus lam i never took you for a nuthugger. Who deserves a shot then? Going from your description noone deserves a shot and whoever Floyd choses is the right choice. For the rest of us who enjoy the credibility of boxing we want to see the best fight the best and actually challenge themselves instead of watching one dimensional limited fights chase floyd around the ring like a kid trying to swat a fly. And did you not watch the Guerrero fight? Guerrero took as much shots as Berto did and was alot more damaged at the end of the fight. That fight clearly showed Guerrero was not at the level of Floyd

By Iam's logic, let's let Floyd retire now with a 50 and 0 record, and let's just chalk up victories against Pac, Thurman and Khan just because we knew he would win.

FOOH!!

I've seen people take things out of context before but this is as fucking ridiculous as the notion that he's ducking Thurman.

Again why? Outside of pac I see 5 or 6 viable candidates to fight Floyd. Thurman is one of them. For some reason you and Floyd refuse to acknowledge his existence

Just so we're clear, Floyd isn't ducking Thurman. That's ridiculous.

I was only suggesting that Guerrero and Ortiz hadn't done much to "earn" a fight with Floyd either. While I agree that Thurman needs a high profile fight or two before Floyd, he's not a horrible fight on paper either considering Guerrero and Ortiz and considering there isn't a ton out there for Floyd at 147.

Like I said in another thread, Andrade is a decent match-up at 154 if he gets by Charlo. Who else?

People who are Floyd haters will look for any excuse to put him down. Facts are...he is BY FAR the most successful fighter in the business...he has put himself in that position through hard work and business acumen. There are no other fighters now, and VERY FEW historically, who are in his position: undefeated, richest athlete in sports, and very close to the end of their career. So his criteria for matchmaking at this stage is completely, and rightfully, different than any other fighter. He is not going to fight all the "up and comers." He is not going to fight guys at 160, etc, etc. You can hate on him all you want...but any other boxer in his position (again...there are none) would do the same.

Some boxing fans are just neanderthals. They don't have the intellectual capacity to understand genius.
