:udontknow: not sure how you can rank one guy ahead of another who he was clearly dominated by. aside from the KD it was a wash. nearly a shutout.

talk about blind....Haymon had targeted Mosley...first for Berto, then fed him to :moneymay: Berto didnt chicken out....werent several of his family members killed in that earthquake?

Hate for who? :moneymay: ???

Thats why I dont go by P4P bullshyt. So by that logic, you agree that Broner is #5 P4P right? :dkufdup: Now lets see who is blinded by hate.

Fact is....in 2008 Mosley was not in the top 10 p4p rankings. Margarito was #6 that year. Mosley beats Margarito and then is given a ranking of #3 . His previous two fights....a loss to Cotto and a win over :putamadre:

Mosley had been done....the only thing was that cheat Margarito couldnt beat him without the plaster....who since being discovered has only won 1 of his last 3 fights.

you gotta come harder to give me an L

Did Margarito not beat fellow top 10 p4p fighter in Cotto, and lets not act like Bhop didnt lose to Calzaghe and Calzaghe retiring bumping people up a few notches, but only Mosley and Margarito fought in 2008 though cause you hating on Floydie so hard, at your pathetic ass argument

With the MGM completely packed out for the fighters arrivals only a couple days ago, and with the MGM Arena all but sold out, fight fans from around the world have been flooding in to the Las Vegas area anticipating what should be an excellent night of boxing - Where boxings showpiece star unbeaten Pound-4-Pound legend and future first ballot Hall of Famer Floyd 'Money' Mayweather will be laying it all on the line against his exceptional challenger, 6 time World Champion and current interim WBC Welterweight World Champion Robert 'The Ghost' Guerrero.


Furthermore, in a potential 'FOTY' matchup between two excellent Mexican warriors, the current WBC Featherweight Champion Daniel Ponce De León will be taking on the exciting Pound-4-Pound star Abner Mares and current WBC Super Bantamweight World Champion, with both more than ready to leave it all in the ring.


Also on the card, another undefeated Mexican gladiator, current IBF World Bantamweight Champion Leo Santa Cruz will be facing off against former World Champion Alexander Munoz.

so much bullshyt in one post

Lets set the record straight... The only reason Floydie fought Shane was because he had no choice and he was forced into a corner.. The hurricane took Berto out the picture for the moment and of course he was still ducking Pac..to keep from looking like a complete bytch to casual fans since his duck tendencies were starting to revel themselves he had no choice but to fight Shane ESPECIALLY after Shane had pulled that stunt interrupting his post fight interview... luckily for him Shane got gassed in the 3rd rnd allowing the bytch to pick him a part for 9 rounds... Floyd know hr lucked up too.. Look how fast the bytch retired again after that fight to go do WWE and dancing with the stars

And how dare you say Pac never wanted the fight after Maynever went from all you have to do is take OSDT tests to I cant accept any less than 100% ppv rev Pac must leave his team to fight me

Floydie wasnt forced to do shyt he was on a retirement/Vacation because he was running from Pacquiao

Pacquiao coalition? Hardly. I mean Manny is alright with me. I like him as a fighter....but I have always said that :moneymay: will have an easy time with him if they ever fought. Thats the thing thats so frustrating about :moneymay: He had a chance to really bolster his legacy and jump up some spots on the all time list just by fighting a guy he was going to beat anyway. I criticize Roy for this, but Floyd is literally 10x worse than Roy for this one because Roy wouldve made maybe $8-10 mil for fighting Michalczewski or perhaps $12 mil for Holyfield....maybe $15 for Tyson tops??? Floyd turning down guaranteed $40 mil plus ppv and shyt that would net him much more than that amount??? There just was no excuse to let the biggest fight in history to this point go down the drain. There was plenty of time to fight Mosley, Guerrero, or whoever.

 

[HARLEM AL]

1 nikka he should have fought is Paul Williams.

floyd can't turn down anything
he's his own boss
he offered pacquaio a deal
first time 50 50 ,25 mil guaranteed, pacquaio didnt wanna take da test.

later on, when floyd become a bigger star and broke more records, he offered pacquaio 40 mil directly to his bank account. pacquaio declined saying he wants 50/50, and arum said he wanted to build a stadium.

if pacquaio wasn't signed to bob arum, the fight woulda been made years ago with ease. just like with cotto bob arum hates floyds guts, and vice versa. and that doesn't even factor in the golden boy rivalry. unfortunately, the fans lose out cause these guys dont wanna work with eachother

any talk of floyd being scared of pacquaio has always been hilarious to me
the ppl who say floyd is scared of pacquaio but still pick him to win if they were to ever fight are my favourites

floyd woulda killed him anyway

Floydie wasnt forced to do shyt he was on a retirement/Vacation because he was running from Pacquiao

He jumped back into retirement after his fight with Shane.. If Shane and Floyd didnt happen, I bet this bytch woulda went after Eric Morales

well thats not me so I dont know who you are catagorizing. would I say Floyd would have no problem with him and in the same breath say he is afraid? If I feel that Floyd would easily beat him, I am sure Floyd feels the same way or has at one point. I have always said Floyd is not afraid. There is blame on both sides. Ultimately, I think it is the Pac camp that should shoulder most of the blame.

Nevertheless....Floyd still missed out on making the biggest fight in history and putting another stamp on his legacy...so you cant put it all on team Pacquiao. Roy wasnt afraid either. The notion that prizefighters are afraid of one another is stupid when most have been fighting since they were kids. its the teams. its yall that try and absolve Mayweather of all blame and responsibility that are the biggest jokes. its no way a stan can be 100% objective. impossible.

who? :moneymay: ? wouldve loved to have seen it but knew it wasnt gonna happen.

wasnt gonna happen. two big Haymon clients and too much risk against reward as compared to other fighters for :moneymay: but jokers here swear Haymon be putting his top guys in with each other. FOH.

 

[Sam Peel]

I'm expecting the weigh in to be crazy, i hope floyd sr don't swing on ruben though, he might get banned from the fight

nah i wasn't saying you were one of those ppl
i was just addressing the "turned down" thing you said
almost everyone who says hes scared still picks him to win
i don't get it
floyd definitely deserves some blame, he's definitely not a saint in the situation
it just annoys the hell out of me that all of this could of been solved 3 years ago if pacquaio just agreed to the friggin blood test. floyd agreed to all of his demands, mayweather signed his part of the contract, everything was cool on both sides.

pacquaio shoulda been crucified for ducking a random blood test and making up all those silly ass excuses. if that was floyd, we all know what woulda happened.
