Just think of what they do for a living, then see if the word coward is appropriate to describe them.
I use the term coward in the fact they are afraid to loose there winning streak and there position in the the sport. Not the fact they are afraid to get hurt by the other fighter. There put there position above there instinct to be the best and take the toughest challanges. Therefore afraid of loosing what they have. What they could be fighting for is a place in history to be one of the greatest boxers of all time. Shame for fans and the sport.

They already are two of the greatest boxers of all time. Both are still active. The fight I'm sure, will happen eventually. They just want to let it build as long as possible.
Not sure about that, but if it does happen it will be when one of them sees the other one getting older and weakening. They should fight when they are at there prime. Manny looked like he was slowing in his last two fights. Might have been the weight he fought at but not sure.
