The idea that the general public finds his fights boring has been proven wrong over and over again. He outsells the supposedly more fan friendly Manny Pacquiao all the time.
Men lie. Women lie. Numbers don't lie.

Dude wouldn't have dare said that in person face to face!
I think you reaching... I listen to the All Out Show and Jude actually believes in Floyd and is a "fan" of his - so as I - in my opinion, as the average boxing fan, Floyd just appears scared to fight MP - point blank. Jude was just voicing his opinion and then Floyd called up all popping at the mouth - what would you have done in that situation? Just take it and say sorry Floyd?
So, Floyd getting a shot in his hands before a fight that's only allowed in Nevada and banned everywhere else isn't an unnatural advantage? I'm just asking for all the folks talking about Floyd doesn't want to face Manny if he has an unnatural advantage in their fight
Don't do it man.. again, for the BGOL crew, there is a different set of rules for Floyd than other fighters... you just wasted about 200 keystrokes my man...![]()

I think anyone will with common sense will say those shots should be against the rules in Nevada. I don't know if Floyd is still doing it. He says he isn't but who knows. The only defense that could be made of that shit is that it is legal for both guys... but that doesn't make it right imo and I don't agree with it. I would even suggest that Manny should bring up in as a request in negotiations so that shit is banned for that fight.
^^^^^^
What shots are y'all talking about?
Regardless, that's between him and whoever agrees to get into the ring with him. I truly don't give a fuck if Pac is juicing or not, but I don't have to get in the ring with Pac. This is the steroids era, so it's completely understandable that Floyd wants testing for anyone he risks his well being to fight.
If anyone fighting Floyd saw that these shots aren't allowed anywhere except Nevada and felt it gave Floyd an unfair advantage, then they should demand that he doesn't do it.

Well, the shots numb his hands because he says his hands are fucked up. So, essentially, he's able to keep punching with no feeling or pain in his hand thus, giving him an unfair advantage since boxers hands weaken after rounds of using them

We understand that we know what advantage it can give you but like I was saying I don't think the commission see it as a PED so it gets a pass.

Who is dis corny ass nigga? Talking fucking ridiculous likek that.
You know a nigga is a straight hater when he's just making up people that Mayweather ducked. How about him ducking Sugar Ray Leonard and Aaron Pryor since we're just making shit up?
For the life of me, I will never understand how a nigga with damn near 20,000 posts on a porno board could take the time from beating his shit to call another person "corny"
If you had ANY knowledge of the fight game then you would know that Mayweather won his first title in 1998. Eric Morales (a sure fire Hall of Famer when he hangs them up), who your hairy palm having ass probably have never heard of, was the WBC Boxer of the year...PBF had no intention of fighting him...nor Barrera, another sure fire Hall of Famer, who was out there when PBF was making all these claims about being the best that ever did it. Pac Man rocked with both of them and gave them the business.
Yet you say some shit about fighters from another whole fucking time period?
I should have expected no less....

1You're arguing with an unarguable point. I clearly said "depending on your age". When was Sweet Pea's prime? Do you know how many people have been born or come of age since then?
2What was there to say? He didn't make the catchweight of 145. Okay. There have been a lot of guys who didn't make weight in boxing and didn't pay shit and went on and won. He let them know in advance and came to an agreement.
Top fighters make demands, hell Manny wanted Floyd to pay 10 million dollars for every pound he came over for their fight. Can anyone name a time Floyd didn't make the 147 limit?
3Who said juicing helped a chin? It's not meant to. It's meant to augment a fighter during training and to help him with his stamina and endurance, like a cyclist or a track and field star.
1. Some might say Hamed was the greatest (the Ring actually had him as a favotite against Jr. Lightweight Floyd--unbelievable). And during Floyd's run he is most definitely one of the top fighters of HIS era--which is what you're saying.
The Corrales fight killed any of that talk. Floyd called him out in the post fight interview. Larry Merchant quickly dismissed that, and rightfully so, saying "Prince Naseem isn't going to fight you. After he's seen this, it ain't gonna happen."
I thought it was BS from the jump. Only the tru greats could have fought that Floyd and had a chance.
But therein lies the problem. AT THE TIME< some people thought Hamed was that good. Some people are saying Floyd is the best ever. Some are saying Manny. I say neither.
The only damning part on Floyd as he moved up in weight is that he called out money fights not the best fights. He also said he would fight certain fighters, who, AT THE TIME, represented the biggest threat to him. Margacheato, Cotto, and some --very few--would argue Clottey. Pac fought and beat them all--and the rest fought each other. Jr. Lightweight-lightweight Floyd fought nothing but the best. after that..eh..

Alaskanredman said:Wait so to understand this... All I hear from cats is Marquez and Hatton were too small... So he was supposed to fight Barrera and Morales who fought at smaller weight classes their whole careers.
Alaskanredman said:Did they show any interest to move up and fight Mayweather? I don't remember anything like that. Why would they when they were bigger names than Mayweather until their downward spiral in the mid 2000's and they also had comp at their weight classes with bigger names so why would Mayweather be a concern?
Alaskanredman said:I guess Mayweather should have went down to a weight he never fought at in his professional career and demanded those fights from guys who would have said who are you.
That makes no sense, but I might be wrong... please show me something where they were saying Floyd ducked them or anything that would make any of that click.
I get the hate is strong, but come on...
da_monumental_1 said:Uh, Barrera and Morales were nowhere near 130 at that time. They hadn't even duked it out at 122 yet in their first classic fight that I saw live. That was in 2000. By the time Floyd won his first title, people were saying Barrera's candle had burnt out after losing consecutively to Junior Jones. Or did you forget about this?
da_monumental_1 said:Hell, prior to the first fight with Morales, everyone thought Morales was going to run Barrera over. Afterwards, Morales moved up to 126 and was going life or death with the likes of Guty Espadas Jr. and In-Jin Chi. Neither guy didn't hit 130 until 2003/04.

Floyd Mayweather: Top Rank Protected Cotto From Me
Posted by: Rick Reeno on 9/16/2011 .
By Rick Reeno
Floyd Mayweather Jr. lashed out at the suggestion that he ducked a fight with Miguel Cotto in 2005, when both of them were rising junior welterweights under Top Rank's promotional banner. According to Mayweather, he requested a fight with Cotto in 2005, and then Top Rank responded by matching him with a "test opponent" to get a better idea on how a Cotto fight would potentially play out in the ring. The opponent, Henry Bruseles, was dominated and stopped in eight rounds.
"We asked for the fight. They said we'll use Bruseles [as a test]. Go back and look, he had the same identical style, came from the same stable. They said 'this is a tester, let us see how the fight would play out.' They did [the Bruseles fight] and said 'no that's not going to happen' [to a Cotto fight]," Mayweather said.
Mayweather's adviser, Leonard Ellerbe, chimed in, claiming Top Rank President Todd duBoef was always against the fight. - "[Cotto] was always Todd's own personal pet project. Coming up through the ranks, they would never, never put Cotto anywhere near Floyd."
So, Floyd getting a shot in his hands before a fight that's only allowed in Nevada and banned everywhere else isn't an unnatural advantage? I'm just asking for all the folks talking about Floyd doesn't want to face Manny if he has an unnatural advantage in their fight
Besides the point that they were too small (Pac-Man is too small to fight him...but PBF don't want it...I know...I know...Pac Man is on steroids), I have never used this against Mayweather. My position against Mayweather is that I don't feel his resume' is good enough to say he's anything but an entertainer who can fight very well.
You have a point here. They had their own wars to look after, which is why the boxing public looks at them and says they didn't fight any tin cans.
I can't get PBF fans on record saying that he's ducking Pac Man either...but we know he is, no matter how "butthurt" PBF's fans may get about thinking of the notion.
Let's just say that those names would look much better on his resume' than Chop Chop Corley...and all the rest of the washed up palookas he has fought after their start has stopped shining.
In the words of Rude Jude of Jenny Jones fame..."You can't be sensitive AND duck fights!"
PBF has NEVER wanted to fight either of these two. I can't even recall the last time he's defended ANY title against a LEGIT #1 contender. That said, when you actually fight for a living and are not a sideshow promoter...you come across a person that has your number, Shoulder Pads had Barrera's number...afterwards Barrera became the same type of fighter he was, even going so far as to end the career of the 1st PBF, Naseem Hamed.
It's called FIGHTING...not BOXING like bitch-ass PBF affectionately calls it. I'm glad those MMA's cats checked his Hide-N-Go Seek ass when he started talking that "Boxing" shit. He didn't challenge them like he challenged fucking Rude Jude...hell, he won't even challenge Pac Man in public. You are going to win some and lose some when you lace them up with a man who has a legit chance to take your head off.
But maybe YOU can explain how impossible it is to beat someone on steroids...explain to us how it gives them SUPER inhuman HULK like strength.Then explain how foolish it would be for Floyd to fight him..and how he'd be sure to be KO'D...cuz Manny "might" be on roids![]()
"Shane came to the gym twice to ask me to let him fight Manny," Roach says. "I told him no both times, and both times for the same two reasons: First, there isn't enough money there, and second, you're too good a fighter."
Fight with Mosley only at a catchweight of 142/143 lbs.
More lies from Bob "Yesterday, I was lying. Today I'm telling the truth" Arum
http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2420382
According to Arum, Mayweather turned down the career-best purse to meet Margarito on Aug. 12 on HBO Pay-Per-View, instead opting for free agency by buying Arum out of their deal for $750,000.
Mayweather adviser Leonard Ellerbe told ESPN.com that Mayweather passed on the fight not because he is ducking Margarito, but because he couldn't be ready to fight by Aug. 12. Mayweather injured his right hand during a dominating April 8 victory against Zab Judah.
"Floyd is not 100 percent healthy," Ellerbe said. "He has a bruised right hand. His hand is not broken. It's bruised, but it's a bad bruise. He wants to go into any fight 100 percent healthy. If Antonio Margarito happens to be the best available option when he is healthy, so be it.
The reason Mayweather opted for the buyout rather than waiting for the May 6 result was because the contract had a limited window for the buyout, one that expired before the De La Hoya fight. However, Arum said he would have extended the window if Mayweather had asked. What Arum wouldn't do, he said, was raise the guarantees for other fights outlined in the contract.
Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.
Arum has a case of sour grapes. He started with that shit after Floyd left him and this was beginning of the Top Rank vs GBP fued.
Now, dm1, you know I got a lot of respect for you.
Arum, King, DLH/GBP, And now Floyd are all promoters, aka masters of hyperbole. Arum said, countered by Floyd said, countered by Ellerbe said, countered by --NOT FIGHTING, ONLY TALKING. And Pac is now in politics, so I def don't believe him either (buying a motor for fisherman then buying a Ferrari for himself)
But back to Floyd:
C'mon now. FLoyd has been a popluar fighters for many years now. Longer than Pac. DId RJJ really want a rematch with BHop? No, even though he was the money fighter. Did Hamed want a fight with piss drinker JMM? NO, even though he was the money fighter. Did Tyson really want a fight with Lennox when he was past his prime? No. Even though he was definitely the MONEY FIGHTER.
Floyd could have had this fight a long time ago. Manny could have had this fight recently. Like I said before, I'll be glad once they retire.
Nope. Not at all.
Pernell Whitaker, who was using cocaine, literally fought EVERYONE. Made no demands and always made weight.
I like and enjoy Mayweather. As a jr. lightweight, he was a GREAT.
But funny how people sidestep Mayweather NOT making weight against piss-drinking JMM, but always making DEMANDS on everyone else. Imagine if Pac or any other fighter violated a rule.
Would Mayweather have taken penalty money and still fought on?
And juicing does not help a chin. RJJ got ko'd mad times. Toney, never. Vargas often (ala Tommy Hearns--who lost all big fights by way of stoppage--guess he's a bum too).
