The top fighters have always called the shots. I’m not saying it’s right, but that’s how it is. The difference is that Floyd wasn’t given everything at the beginning of his career. He did fight who he needed to and called out fighters who didn’t want to fight him. It wasn’t until after the de la Hoya fight that he started demanding more.

Honestly, sugar Ray Robinson threatened to pull out of fights the hour of because he wanted more money. He was as much of a diva as Floyd but since it was so long ago, we just let it go. And Floyd wasn’t like Canelo to where he was just given everything from the start of his career. He worked up to it.

There are guys he could have fought, but I always say that there is nobody that he avoided that I think was that big of deal. The bigger fights he missed I don’t think were his fault.
