Floyd not fighting Pacquaio will bother him for the rest of his life

[imp]

Despite my comments I admire Floyd, as a boxing fan how can you not. I am more of a Manny fan, he strikes me as a little more real and in touch which I attribute to the life he had growing up. In all honesty I think this fight is still going to happen. Floyd senior made a comment that he thinks Manny has slowed enough where Floyd could easily beat him. Let's face it, both these guys have a business machine behind them and in the end neither side is going to walk away from what might be the biggest payday in boxing history. The problem is whoever wins or loses fans will be saying, well, if it happened ten years ago such and such would have happened but, and write this down, I am willing to bet Brocks left testicle the fight takes place next year and the hype will be like nothing we have seen. I'll even throw in miles right testicle and masters porn collection to show how sure I am this fight will happen.

Fair enough but if it happened 5 or 10 years ago the result would have still been the same.

Are we to believe that if it was 5 years ago floyd just stayed the same age at 37 and wouldnt be better?

Everyone seems to think because manny MIGHT have been better 5 years ago floyd just gets stuck in time and wouldnt be the same fighter whooping an undefeated hatton.

Shall we even bring up the 2 year retirement to come back and school a legend in marquez!!!

Think manny could take off 2 years and do that to marquez?!!!!

Come on!!!

Stop right there. If you actually think Floyds win over Marquez has any credibility then you seriously are delusional and very biased. Making Marquez jump up two weight classes and fight at a weight he has never fought at before is just as bad as Pacs win over De La Hoya at 147. Not to mention that Floyd didn't even try to make weight.

[ruthless rocco]

Floyd is perfectly within his rights to make demands while negotiating the terms of a fight.
Every fighter is allowed to do this. If the opponents don't reach an agreement then there should be no fight.
It's quite simple.
It's not a double standard.
Floyd isn't getting away with anything. He's simply stating that the condition for him to fight Pacquiao was for there to be random testing.

How can you disagree with that @mikeeod @walrus ? Where's the controversy?

You two vaginas have no response to this so you just gonna avoid answering...?

Dropping weight to fight is much harder than gaining weight to fight.

Floyd had a two year lay off!

He could have had four fights and over 100 million in the bank!

Name another current fighter today that had a 2 year long lay off and came back to fight a £4£ fighter as a first fight and made it look sooooo easy.

@mikeeod @walrus Nothing to say? No rebuttal? Wow! I'm amazed!

I think we both stated our case. None of us were at the table when these negotiations took place so I often wonder about the accuracy of some of the statements that are repeated. Believe it or not I can see your point of view, I still think I am right but I would not call you an idiot for your statements as they are not coming out of left field. We are all in the dark as both sides have reported different things and hundreds of commentators have spouted different ideas. We have to go with our gut, sound fair?

I'm glad you agree with me.

No matter how much money Floyd makes he will forever be asked why he did not fight Manny. He will take that question until he dies.

Floyd will answer that he gave Manny every opportunity to take the fight with the one provision that Manny be clean for their fight and prove it by being tested for drugs in advance of the fight.

The real question is why Manny turned down $50 million if he was a clean fighter.

Does not matter about the answer. The fact is they never fought and that is what people will remember.

So it won't bother him. It'll bother you.

Regardless of the undefeated record, the millions of dollars made, or whose at fault for the fight not happening, the fact is that it didn't happen. I believe this will irritate Floyd despite what he says.

If pac never signed another contract with bob then it would have happened but pac chose bob...over floyd.

I use to believe that, until his daddy told him he didn't want him fighting Pac as well.
Poppa & Uncle put nothing but suspicions in his head- how did a knocked out fighter start knocking everyone else out.

Truth be told, Pac was knocking people out from day one.

My take- if Pac did PED's it was similar to that admitted by Shane- something that enhanced his stamina. (not steroids or something to make him stronger) Pac is heavy handed..since day one.

remember how well Morales outboxed Pac fight one? fight II it was the same thing, until the 6th round. Morales just couldn't keep the pace up and Fight III he quit & said he could have gotten up but it would be to no avail.
JMM has been hit by Pac for 4 fights now, so these once-feather weight fighters have all withstood pac's punches.

Only Hatton was dramatically knocked out. But once again PBF dropped Hatton and Jurango shook him too.

So PBF has given just as many excuses for this fight as Pac (its the needles, its my religion) Someone here called them prima donnas, I agree: They are both responsible for NOT making the biggest fight in boxing history and it is a GOD Darned shame.

You're right, all that matters in the end is that the fight didn't happen. Would have been the defining fight of the generation, but it didn't happen, and even if they do fight it will never have the same impact it would have back in 2008-2011.

Right or wrong, Floyd is the more powerful guy (as well as the less likeable guy), and people will say that he should have done more to make the fight happen.

You're talking about EPO, it's still a pretty big deal and arguably more dangerous that steroids that increase strength (gives you the ability to throw punches with more intensity for much longer).

That's the shit Lance Armstrong and his crew got busted for, so it would be a pretty big deal if Pac was taking it.

But Floyd was the clean fighter who held out for fairness and an even playing field.
Manny was the dirty PED using fighter who all but admitted his cheating ways.

Floyd will have no regrets.
