Floyd vs Prince Naz

[erics44]

Yeah, makes total sense. Floyd is gonna wait for Manny to get old even though he's 2 years older than Manny!!
Come on Eric, hate is ok, we all have it, but don't let it change the historic facts.
I'm not even saying Naz avoided or ducked Floyd. I'm pretty confident he would've fought him, Naz didn't fear anyone. What I'm saying is that Warren didn't want it in a month of Sundays. High risk, low reward, and nobody can deny that Warren has a long history of protecting his top fighters and their records. Calzaghe springs to mind, and many others.
Mate, sometimes it's good for the soul to admit you're wrong about something . 😉😂

you don't need to play the hate card, I don't hate, i'm not arsed

and manny would fight any one at any time, so then im not sure why the fight of the century didn't happen 5 years earlier

You're not arsed? You and @Master talk more about Floyd than anyone else on the forum!
One of the reasons banded round was that he wouldn't take the drug tests . Apparently , according to his trainer needles made him feel bad. But when they eventually fought, he took the tests.
I don't think that it is unreasonable to drug test someone who started his career as a 7 1/2 stone guy with no apparent punch power and then fought at nearly 50% increased body weight knocking guys out for fun. just saying.

I don't go on about Floyd more than most mate, I avoid the vast majority of Floyd threads

I opened this because Naz is one of my favourite ever fighters

and if you want to see the needle reason as the reason the fight didn't happen then that's your prerogative, you can do what you wanna do

I for one think the fight didn't happen (as the reason a lot of fights don't happen) was because one of the fighters was afraid of defeat

and I don't think manny was afraid to lose

We also subsequently found out that Floyd loves the use of needles himself.

If he was afraid to lose, why did Floyd wait till he was in his mid to late thirties to fight him? I'm curious, it doesn't make any sense. Surely Floyd would be MORE worried as he got older and there would be MORE chance of losing?
Having said that, of course Floyd was afraid to lose, because it has never happened to him! it is indeed that "fear of losing" that ensured that he NEVER EVER LOST!
Whereas Manny wasn't quite so afraid to lose as he had already lost before. It never hurts as much as the first time.

Manny is older in boxing years and going up in weight is much harder.

You can't handle the truth!

[ruthless rocco]

Is this even a real thread?

Pretty Boy Floyd schools Naz faaaaar worse than MAB.

[Mad_Dog]

Without going into who ducked who...Nassems biggest advantage was his speed. He stalked his opponents with ease cause they couldn't touch him mostly. He wouldn't have that advantage over Floyd who was a tad quicker. This fight would have turned into nasseem stalking and Floyd counter punching his way to a win

Manny had a peak period and was no where near that fighter when he fought Floyd

if anything mayweather improved as time went on
