    I think the early consensus was that since Floyd was demanding a stipulation that wasn't typical of your standard boxing match, that he was being the unreasonable party and was therefore at fault for the fight not happening. People don't care who's using what, they just want to see the fight happen.

    People believe what they want to believe, too, and most people don't care for Mayweather personally. They have their opinions and they won't be swayed by anything, even evidence that completely contradicts their stance.

    I think it's silly when people say that Floyd never tried to make the fight happen, or never wanted the fight. They went through a shit load of trouble trying to get this made, they had mediators come in, promotional companies and lawyers going back and forth. Why would either party go through all that headache if they didn't want to fight?

    It was a pissing match, Manny wanted a 24 day cut off date for testing, Floyd agreed to a 14 day cut off date (a time frame that would make it virtually impossible for someone to cycle on and off a performance enhancer), Manny refused and that was that.

    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!!!
    You are missing something. I think Manny would win the bout. I'm just saying whatever happens people are saying it happened too late.

    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.
    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.
    Floyd will pretend he has no regrets and did his best to get the fight made but he will deep down and he probably would have won the fight as well.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    It is too late but thats boxing.

    All im saying is that time hasnt stood still for floyd.

    The 32 yr old floyd beats the 37 year old floyd.

    I see manny winning a maximum of 4 rounds five years ago and getting possibly ko in this era.

    ("Imp your crazy, floyd hasnt had a ko in years")

    One thing that I have learnt is that mannys main flaw is that he hates boxers and counter punchers.

    Morales schooled him
    Marquez fought him four times and ko him in the last bout.

    (But we dont like talking about that lets just talk about mannys tough childhood compared to floyds asshole behaviour with money etc))

    Now both of these fighters dont have the speed of floyd, the defence or the chin so on paper its a bad situation for manny..every fan knows this.

    They are both slowing down but in floyds case he never fought a mma type brawler to the extent of maidana and he took more damage than usual..the last of his opponents will not have that maidana type style so he will be in his element of pot shotting and countering and winning on points like he usually does..(IF his legs are still there!)
