Does it matter if Mayweather is afraid of Pacquiao if he still whips him with ease?

Floyd is not thinking of boxing right now because Pacman agreed to fight him and to all his nonsense request.

Bob Arum Called Out for Lying by Top Rank Insider

Jed Jacobsohn/Getty Images Defending Bob Arum is quite hard for a number of reasons. He’s a famous liar, well-known to veteran fans as a promoter that tends to totally exaggerate negotiations to ensure that he comes out looking holier than thou.
Team Mayweather wasn’t even the first to make these claims. It’s been coming out of his own camp.
Michael Marley, the day after Arum’s infamous “teleconference,” came right out and said it. This was days before Leonard Ellerbe spoke.
Marley, a Top Rank/Pacquiao writer, and a close friend of Arum’s, was just as perplexed by Arum’s deadline. He didn’t get it; he couldn’t work out what Arum was up to. So he went digging.
He spoke to his Top Rank people, and was shocked with the answer. Again, this was days before Ellerbe spoke.
Negotiation just hadn’t been happening. They’d started, briefly, but capitulated almost instantly, according to Marley.
Marley claimed that Arum had only spoken to Greenburg once, months ago. And that conversation was little more than Arum telling him his demands. Demands that Golden Boy just weren’t interested in.
That’s basically it. No meetings, no talks, no agreements, no contracts, no deals.
Bob Arum, according to Marley, just spent the next five weeks “blowing smoke to the media,” to try and confuse the situation and giving the impression that he was breaking his back to make the deal.
When in truth, Mayweather vs. Pacquiao was the last thing Arum wanted for 2010.
Why did the talks fail? According to Marley, contrary to most reports, Pacquiao was unwilling to move an inch on drug testing. And Mayweather was unwilling to move an inch on money.
Pretty predictable.
As another example of the way Arum operates, it also turns out that “Pacquiao accepting 14 days” was just more “smoke” as part of the Arum charade.
The original quote from Pacquiao was 100 percent fake. Arum has admitted as much. The second quote from Pacquiao was real, but for PR purposes. Pacquiao’s manager denied it was accurate, when quizzed soon after.
To confirm the charade, only days ago, Arum was asked straight up, what drug terms Pacquiao had agreed to and he was unable to give an answer.
This is a man who had an agreement with Mayweather’s people? He couldn’t even answer what the supposed drug agreement was?
So what actually happened? According to Marley, Arum made these claims days before anyone from team Mayweather spoke out.
Well, Arum has allegedly been fixing a Pacquiao vs. Margarito bout in the Middle East for months. But he knew full well that he couldn’t make the fight without being seen to be trying to make Mayweather vs. Pacquiao first.
Plus, HBO, after pressure from Golden Boy, flat out told him that he’d have to approach Mayweather first, or they would not work on a Margarito fight.
Arum, according to Marley, approached Greenburg with his terms for the fight. Terms, Marley suspects, that were never going to be accepted. Terms, that in regards to drug testing, were even worse than the last fight.
That’s basically it. Golden Boy felt Arum was not being serious, and had no intention of negotiating further.
Arum played the media, and proclaimed that he was “waiting for Floyd to accept his offer.” Which, I guess, was technically true. The big lie came with Arum’s claims that these terms had been negotiated and accepted.
Marley claims that this is just 100 percent false. There were no real talks. No deals. No agreements. No contracts.
In a strange way, neither side is technically lying. Most likely, after taking legal advice, they’ve worded it all very carefully.
Arum claimed that he was waiting for Mayweather to agree to his offer, and had been dealing with Greenberg. The problem being, his dealings with Greenberg amounted to one conversation in which he sent him an awful offer, knowing full well it wouldn’t work. No negotiations, talks, or discussions whatsoever.
Arum’s offer. Countdown clock. Lots of BS about “terms being agreed by both sides.”
Mayweather’s people are technically speaking the truth as well. There were never any negotiations, talks, agreements, deals. Just Arum blowing smoke to the press.
Why did Arum exaggerate his efforts so much? Because he wanted to set up Margarito vs. Pacquiao and couldn’t justify it without trying to pin the blame on someone else.
Golden Boy? Well Marley claims that there quite literally was a gag order. It’s just the fact that the negotiations ended after about two days. You can tell when the fight fell through. Arum started talking to the media twice a day!
Marley claims that Golden Boy’s position with Arum is to just let him talk, and not justify his claims with replies, safe in the knowledge that most of the sport world knows he talks out of his behind.
Arum could well find himself in a tough position, however. Dan Raphael reported that Ellerbe is not only one of the most honest guys in boxing, he’s also been speaking to Greenberg regularly for weeks. These daily conversations have reportedly gone on after his claim that basically either Greenberg or Arum is a stone cold liar.
Which suggests to most that Greenberg agrees with his pronouncement.
Again, Marley is a Top Rank guy, and a noted Pacquiao backer. He reported that Arum’s claims of “negotiations” and “agreements” were phony, days before any Mayweather person made any comment.
Mayweather’s guy’s wording is probably a bit controversial, and not 100 percent true, but both Marley and Ellebre are basically singing from the same hymn sheet.
Arum completely and utterly exaggerated all claims of “agreements,” “deals,” “contracts,” and

An Honest Pacman Fan

I understand what you’re saying but Hoya was taller, weighed 154+ and was by far in his prime better than anything Pac is today. Not saying he was prime at the time just stating that Hoya over all is better than anything Pac will ever be.

Also note that Hoya has good technical skills. Pac is a glorified slugger who wont stop punching. He’s a faster Margarito.

Like I said before I think throwing a lot of (wildly at times) punches is a double edge sward. Pacs off balance a lot and throws out of retaliation. Not good when facing an accurate puncher.

I just cant no matter how I look at it see Pac adjusting and being a technical fighter to outsmart, out think, outbox, and out land Floyd. Throwing a lot of punches wont just win him the fight. He will miss and look like an amateurish slugger.

I think Floyd will be playing a great game of chess while Pac will be attempting to play an exciting game of checkers. He’s just not on the level. Throwing a lot of punches just wont do it because Floyd wont fight Pac’s fight.

But I wont argue because you do have a valid point(s) and I agree to a certain extent. I just see a different outcome than you do. I think someone with size, speed and power beats Floyd, not sure who yet (maybe Sergio). Only thing IMO making this fight with Pac somewhat of a challenge is because he’s a southpaw. If he was orthodox I wouldnt even consider anything but a embarrssing loss by Pac.

@F.L.A

If you want to dominate Pac, you would want to put your combinations in there… because if you will be too consentrated on your defense and just potshot all night.. there is a massive chance that you will lose on points because you will get out worked…

That’s just my 2 cents…

Just think about why Dela Hoya got a split decision…

Because one judge somehow saw it as Dela Hoya outworked Mayweather…

An Honest Pacman Fan

No doubt about it. But is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Cheese Whiz,

That’s the entire point (JMM style gave Pac problems). Well Mayweather technically beat JMM. Weight put a big question mark on it but I don’t think it would have made that big of a difference. Mayweather’s technical abilities are just on another level and I think Pac is the one who’s scared or better put nervous to fight a fighter that has technical and precise abilities such as JMM and Mayweather (add speed to the factor). He wants a come forward toe to toe fighter/brawler and he’s getting it vs Margarito that’s for sure. A made to “look good” fight, nothing technical about it. Just swing for the fences type fight. Nothing to it.

But of course Pac wouldn’t fight Marg if a 154 title (at 150) wasn’t on the line but leave it up to Bob Arum to make it happen this way. I like Pac but since leaving 135 I don’t see anything great. Just leap frogging with Arum picking his fights that will (on paper) enhance his legacy. That I just don’t respect.

As for Mayweather not fighting any of them. I’m not sure. PWILL? Probably not. Sergio Martinez? I don’t think so. Berto? I think he might take the “challenge” and in return people will bash the fight calling Berto green or a nobody. It would be a good fight but haters of Floyd will bash Berto where as if Pac would face him they would speak very highly. It’s funny how it works. They’ve already done it with Hoya and Hatton. I don’t think Mayweather would fight either Bradley or Alexander. This to me would be like fighting JMM all over again (fighting another small fighter). He would really get bashed fighting these two..

Anyway I understand from a business stand point why this fight is happening, I just don’t respect either party for making this fight. I also don’t understand how people can bash Mayweather and not Pac.

Cheese Whiz

Correction on the “catchweight”. Pac fought Hoya at 147 a weight he hadn’t seen in years. But 147 is WW not a catchweight. That was my bad!

Floyd will always beat Pacman!
With his mouth but not on the ring!
Floyd is very good with his mouth always open.

There will not be any KO’s in this fight. Fireworks yes, but no KO’s!!!What I like about Mexican fighters is that the majority of them are true warriors. They do not fear blood. I hope this warrior mentality comes out in CHEATO and he delivers a mealtrain ending ass whoopin.

However; even though I think this will go 12, Margarito will lose on points. No matter what you PACTARDS think, Pacquiao does not have the power of Mosely. He will not KO Cheato. The later rounds will be for the winner. Probably Pacquiao.

Floyd is not scared of overrated Pacquiao. Arum is scared of losing his latest money maker,simple as that. If anyone needs any proof of how carefully managed & protected Manny is,have a look & see how badly Pacquiao was beaten in his defeats.Now he is fighting another fighter coming off a defeat,for a title neither deserves a shot at.If the fight somehow gets made it’s already a Mayweather win.Even before the Mosley fight Floyd himself said he is only going to fight once a year, surely that was enough proof that the Pacquiao fight was not going to happen this year.I keep saying it Floyd Mayweather is the greatest fighter by far of the new millenium.Arum knows this & so will everyone else when their little filipino gets totally dominated & schooled by someone who truly is gifted & special once in a lifetime fighter, i for one am grateful to have been around to see it.Lets hope it happens,so all this ridiculous debating will end once & for all.or will it?

Cheese Whiz,

I agree with that. I just don’t think Pac will be as aggressive as you think. He will at first until Floyd adjusts. Roach knows Pac cant just swing away, that in itself will be suicide. But like you said his endurance is what brings something different to the table. I don’t agree with Mosley being gassed. I think Floyd pressured him to fight his fight. It’s what Mayweather does. It wasn’t a high paced fight. Mosley just didn’t know how to deal with Floyd’s style. He couldn’t adjust. He said Floyd adjusted but not him. He was looking for something that wasn’t there after he tasted blood in round 2.

“You gonna have to punch with’em… instead of keep waiting for a spot. You inside looking for a perfect shot, THERE IS NONE” – Coach Nazim Richardson

Mosley was just looking for something that wasnt there.

Anyway I don’t think Pac has the technical abilities to adjust and deal with Mayweather’s style in the ring. But as you said his endurance will be key. Throwing a lot of shots will be a double edged sword though. In all I don’t think the fight will be anywhere near as good as people want to think it will be. Floyd’s fights aren’t exciting. They’re technical and that’s what I love about it. I’m a technical guy who likes precision and I’ve never seen anyone better. But Pac’s great I just don’t think his style will match Floyd’s.

On the flip side, Margarito will be out before the bell sounds for round 10.

@F.L.A. WE-DON’T-PLAY

True dat!

Floyd’s On Roids,

“Mo’ money you come across the mo’ problems you see” – Notorious B.I.G.

wait a minute..WHERE R ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE SAYING MOSELEY IS GOING TO DECK MAYWEATHER, U CANT WAIT BLABLA BLA….WHERE R U ,I SAY….ALL OF U SUCCERS BOW….
COME OUT OF YOUR CAVES, EMERGE FROM THE ROCK UNDER WHICH U CRAWLED. U FOLKS TALKING ABOUT PAC CAN FORGET IT.. KEEP YOUR TALK GOING…WE WILL SEE IF IT WILL BE.. U R JUST LIKE THE HATTON FANS,DISRESPECTING THE U.S ANTHEM..WE WILL SEE.AND AGAIN, MAYWEATHER WILL BE GRACIOUS and forgiving in victory, saying paciao is a great fighter…mayweather fights like i used to fight,preety and gracious, like when i beat sonny liston. his style is almost like mine apart from the blocks.
u dont know why i was able to predict the rounds my opponents will fall. its the same principle of boxing mayweather uses ,exept he doesnt always finish like i did. thats because he is used to fighting bigger fighters .he has only fought a couple not bigger lately. so getting of the habbit of not finishing hard is not easy, he just has to work on it.of course he aint the greatest like he says, he gotta fight sony to be the greatest money. but he is preety boy close..

This article does not make any sense because Mayweather wont fight Paquiao.

yhis dude is calling pacquioa inferior and mayweather superior,hey dave lahr,whatkind 0f r0tting head and life d0 y0u have s0n!

youre delusional dave lahr,when are you g0na write s0mething that makes sense!

PBF is not afraid of anybody any 140-150 pound fighter in the world, including Pacquiao. However, his unreasonable demands are the cause that this fight has not happened. Whatever his reasons, it is up to him to make it happen or not. This fight would be good, but the boxing world will not end if it does not happen.
There are plenty of up and coming contenders for both men to fight to make good matches. (however, Margarito is not one of them)

@ 50 centavos

I just read the article on Floyd Mayweather Jr. failing to pay rent for the rental space that houses his promotion company. In which he was evicted this month, just like he failed to make monthly payments of $9000 on a 2007 mercedes Maybach 57s. He also has problems failing to pay taxes to the IRS on time. It’s no different from him failing to acknowledege his hard core fans on the deadline he was given to make the fight with Manny Pacquiao! You figure with all the money Floyd Jr. braggs about, that he makes, he can handle all of his money situations! On a different note, He can start demanding on being a part of all the state boxing commisions, and get involved in standardizing drug & blood testing for all the fighters, representing his cause! The Marquez-Diaz II & the Mosely-Mora fights are coming up, all GBP fighters. Ths would be a great opportunity to get involved with these fights, putting an effort to overlook mandatory drug & blood testing for all of the up and coming fights. And, spend his own money for all the doctors who perform the blood testing procedures. This will show that he is commited to cleaning up the sport of boxing, and not just singling out Manny Pacquiao! This would indeed show that he is TRUE, about cleaning up the sport of boxing! If he fails to do this, he lied again!

this article was written as if the author is on fantasy…on wishful mode, tsk tsk tsk. what a pity. i hope someday he wakes up to reality that floyd had already packed his bags and left his cause, because of terrible fear.

Talk is very cheap and wether Mayweather is scared or not will only be seen if he ever shares the ring with Pacquiao;and that seems almost a no contest more chance of Amer Khan fighing Maidana or Katsidis in his next two fights.So after reading my comments make your own mind up if mayweather is scared or not? i have already made my mind up..

@Moo Yes but just like in football defense wins championships or in baseball u win in the postseason if you have great pitching mayweather is a bigger stronger faster smarter marquez and we saw how well pacman did against that style

@Author: You knew that in boxing and EVEN WRITING ARTICLES in the internet that you get more response from Pacfans for millions of people and that includes Mayweather’s knew who is the best.

5 years ago, try to make an article about Mayweather and for sure you’ll get nothing. But now, all articles are about boxing, and guess why???? PACQUIAO!!!! he@k, even other columnist are crossing-over to boxing just to get tags.

HEHEHE, I guess as soon as one starts to make sense around here, your post gets deleted. Thanks Chris! The Truth stings doesn’t it? =>

@ I’m Good Enough

The best part about all the Floyd fans is that they’ve been buying all these lie’s. Specially about the no negotiation was going on lie. The new lie detector test they are now asking Arum to take is a text book move Manny Pacquiao doping, lol!… They know how to get the public and their fans involve in a Lynch Mob mentality.

A couple of months ago, you can actually quote Floyd Mayweather Jr. talking about a super fight at the end of the year during an interview.

@jesus

If you have to muster the balls to even be able to go to the negotiating table much less to step in the ring I HIGHLY doubt you have the stones to put a beating on anyone. Are we to believe that Floyd is standing in the mirror everyday telling himself how pretty looks, how much better he is than the midget until one day he actually buys it and signs the contract…..if you have to muster the balls to fight the biggest fight of the decade you have no place being in that fight period.

@SLIGHT

FLOYD fought ODLH at 154 with absolutly NO WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS, or REHYDRATION CLAUSE! FLOYD came in at the weight he was comfortable at and let OSCAR do what he wanted…

People might not want to give the Journeymen BALIDOMAR credit but he was the Lineal Champ and had got FIGHTER of THE YEAR. If what he did on that run doesn’t deserve credit then I don’t know who does. Nevermind the loses…remember PAC took the fight with LEDWABA as a replacement and made the best of his opportunity just like CARLOS.

And so what your saying is that because he’s favored to win that means the guy he’s fighting isn’t comp? Seems like there’s a lot of smart people putting money on a sure thing. Basically he’s going to have to be like RJJ and go up to 160 or 168 then come back down and fight DEVON or TIM then back up for you to consider him having comp. If FLOYD and PAC fought some of the same guys, why is it ok for PAC to fight those guys after FLOYD beat them but PAC is celebrated for it…oh because you guys keep putting him in the TOO SMALL category right? Their not comp when FLOYD fights them but good enough for PAC…oh ok I see the logic.

@haha

Shane JUST fought, just like Floyd he´s not going to fight against this year and why would he fight Shane right after losing to Floyd, so haters like you could then do a 180 and scream ¨why is Manny fighting a guy Floyd just beat??¨ Haters like you are so predictable.

@50 centavos

Amen, it´s pathetic when you have that situation going on with the Mayweathers and you actually have people backing it as sanity.

Laugh, so then why’s he fighting Margarito?

Margarito got KTFO by Mosley.

Why not fight Shane?

Shane’s more than willing to take the lesser of the purse split.

And it’s not like Phagiao hasn’t fought Mayweather’s leftovers either, right? (DLH, Hatton, etc.)

So what’s the problem?

If anything, fighting Mosley eliminates the criticism that Manok ducked him repeatedly (which he did)?

Oh that’s right, Manok is still terrified of fighting a Hall of Famer.

It’s why he’s continually ducked Mayweather and Mosley.

@ Tic Tic..

Naw Manny was chasing the better African American fighter, but he’s avoiding Manny right now.

@Phoocquaio…MOSELY…MOSELY…MOSELY…MOSELY…MOSELY…MOSELY…MOSELY…MOSELY…MOSELY…MOSELY…MOSELY…MOSELY

AND HE IS STILL AVOIDNG HIM TODAY!!!

@Marius, what are you talking about Manny’s never fought an African American fighter? what about Joshua Clottey and Lehlohonolo Ledwaba who he knocked out?

floyd is not afraid of the pacman. he’s afraid to lose & all he sees is a loss if he faces the pacman. the pacman will beat him up!

@Motown

The difference between Manny’s ascension through the weights and JMM’s is the way they carry the weight.

Manny carries the bigger weight much better than JMM, thus making him more functional at those weights

Hey Mr. Chris Williams, your “IF” and “BUT” scenarios are purely speculations.

I think you better look on to these fighter’s previous matches and see who punches the real thing. Who has the power to knockdown opponents and who is just running afraid of fighting powerful fighters.

@F.L.A

When Roach comes out and states Manny will beat Floyd will you do a 180 and call him a liar? The haters tend to pick sound bites here and sound bites there to back up their emotionally charged arguments, they call Freddie a liar when he says his fighter will knock out his opponent and then call him honest when he makes a statement that Manny may not be ready. Which is it?

@ lil giant
Floyd is not the GOAT and never will be, neither will pac. But Floyd has and does continue to avoid fighters and fighting in general. Fighter include Williams, Cheato, Cotto, Martinez, now it seams hes avoiding avoiding pac. He avoided Mosley until he was old didnt want a rematch with ODLH bc of the split decision. Pac is fighting everyone no matter what the size difference, can that be said of floyd? Floyd seems to be avoiding fighting all together between his current “vacation” and his ubsurd retirement.

Tell your boy floyd sign the contract. you black people talk too much.Talk is cheap. Floyd is a coward period.

Does any of it really matter unless they fight? There are a million and 1 possible outcomes to this fight, could be great, could be predictable, could be surprising, could be career altering. Scared, not scared, it really doesn´t matter. Personally I´ll watch any fight Manny or Floyd or anyone else is involved in, I watch boxing every weekend because I love the sport but these 2 fools have lost a lot of respect from all fans period because of this charade we have been forced to watch for the past year. If they don´t fight eachother it hurts both of their legacies period.

moo
why dont you tell us who has fought every single opponent that is qualified or has called some one out?? there aint one thats why you should shut your pie hole if you dont know what you are talking about..if you fight twice a year , some one is going to be passed up..these guys are fighting to get paid.. so its a buisness decision first and foremost..

I seriously doubt Floyd is afriad of Pac. Chances are Floyd has the same perception of Pac that a lot of fans do. Let’s look at how the career of Pac has been carefully constructed since moving past 135.

Pac fights DLH at 147 a weight DLH hadn’t fought at since 2001. Freddie Roach admitted before the fight that DLH would have a hard time cutting weight. It’s much easier to go up in weight as you get older than it does coming down in weight.

Pac then moves back down to 140 to fight Hatton

He then moves back up to 147 (145) to fight for Cotto’s belt. Why the catch weight considering he had already previously fought at 147 without a catchweight against DLH???

Then he goes on to fight Clottey at 147 (no catchweight). Why no catchweight for this fight?

Now he’s supposed to fight Margarito for the Light MW belt at another catchweight. Why, because it gives him the greater advantage as it did when he fought Cotto.

So in conclusion..he goes up to 147, comes back down, goes back up with a catchweight, next fight not a catchweight then his next fight is.

I’d just like an honest response.

@ lil goat
Saying your the GOAT because you are undeafeated, while having avoided a deasent # of people, thats what we call a paper champion

Chris, If you are very confident about PBF beating PAC into a bloody mess why not TALK TO PBF AND PERSUADE HIM TO FIGHT PAC.

Have you seen Miguel Cotto’s face after the fight with PAC?

SLIGHT:

There are four belts per divisions. So there can be four different fighters with a belt. Those fighters are then rated. Manny has chosen to fight not the number 1 ranked fighter with a belt. At times he fought the number 4 ranked fighter with a belt. Look at the upcoming fight with Margartio. He is fighting the number four ranked fighter. This is what is called a paper champion

Back in the day titles / belts (pick 1) meant something..when ali or sugar ray leanord fought for the championship it was a big deal like the super bowl or nba championship game.. fast forward 20 nor 30 years every single fight is for a belt, why? it takes away from the true meaning..when a promoter like arum can manipulte ratings and have his fighters fight for the championship when they never fought at that weight is a joke!! period..Let alone do it at catchweights…when any one says im champion of 5 or 10 divisions and only fought like 40 times i pretty much disregard it….and so should you!!

coward

Floyd will take the risk. It might not be when you or I want him to take it though.

Do people not see the broken record they clearly put back on the same old record player time and time again?

Lets not forget how scared Pac and Floyd where of Shane Mosley.

Anyone have an answer to,

Mayweather has a top notch counter defense, an iron chin and technically precise speed that will kill. Who has Pac fought of recent that has this kind of ability?

Chris Williams were you drinking cool Aid with your bro. Dave Lahr before your write this article? As usual your article, like Dave Lah’s, is written and intended to upgrade or improve the image of your boss Floyde Mae and condecend on Pacman. Your articles and Lahr’s write-ups are the same smokescreen to express your dislike or hathred of Manny Pacquiao and upheld little boy floyd. You maybe right that Floyde will win … that is if he applies his same old boring style of fighting, i.e., jab, jab, jab, and pitty pat lightly, runs around, hug, thrown an occasional right, then, do the same processs over and over again throughout the fight – upon which Floyde is very known for. A cherry-picking and boring fighter. Good try Chris! Tell bro. Lahr to come up with similar biased and unobjective write-up like yours. Okay?

greenburg confirmed that little floyd is absolutely in fear of pacman this year.

The only ring mayweather will be in, in the near future will b chris williams

Get a life Chris! Floyd will never have the guts to fight Manny so all speculations of “ifs” are meaningless.

Wilson
before we talk about MANNY 7 titles in 7 weight class lets find out who did he fight to earn these titles and who was perceived to be the best fighter at that time in that weight class. Manny hasn’t fought the best. Do the same to PBF or any other boxer. Once you are the best everyone wants you to fight everyone. This gives ppl the ability to say you are ducking ppl. But on your way to the top you have to fight the top fighters. You can’t fight the close to the top fighters and say you are on top. CHURCH

List of fighter Manny avoid on his way up

THE TOP FIGHTERS
Mark Too Sharp Johnson & Rafeal Marquez- super Flyweight
Tim Austin – bantamweight
Nate Campbell – Lightweight
Tim Bradley – Light welterweight
Shane Mosley & PBF – Welterweight
PAUL Williams – light Middleweight

No their wasnt real chance of Floyd loosing 41 times. Does anyone realy think Gatti, Boldanir, Hatton or JMM realy had any chance of winning. Floyd tood risks only a few times against, corales, castillo, ODLH, and SSM. But even SSM was old and hadnt faught in over a year. Basicly no one else that floyd faught ever had a shot at a win.

I love Chris Williams !!!! He¨s my soul mate !!!!

Mayweather, the truth is his legacy may fail to match even the aforementioned Roy Jones, since Floyd will be perceived by history to have fought too safely and with too much disregard for the fans. This latest stubborness in properly addressing the challenge of Pacquiao will soon prove to be the single biggest blunder of his career, so much so that the inevitable damage control will force him into actions he may not have had to take previously. Not accepting this historic fight when he is the larger, stronger, taller and probably faster man will erase much of his claims to being the best even of his time, forget of all time. Floyd isn’t afraid; forget that—he is too good a fighter to truly be a coward. But not stepping up when the opportunity is right in front of you will never be forgiven by the boxing world and fans worldwide

@F.L.A-We-Don’t-Play

if thats your fact, no one can take that away from you..just remember this, even floyd himself is uncertain fighting pacman..

Top notch counter defense, an iron chine and technically precise speed that will kill. Who has Pac fought of recent that this this kind of ability?

Mayweather’s connect rate is higher than most phone providers. Guess what? Pac cant out of the way of anything. He’s easily hit.

But yes being “afraid” (which is just ridiculous to think) wont change the technical beat down that Pac will receive from a superior boxer.

Were only left with what the excuses will be?
Is it that Mayweather only fights smaller fighters?
OST caused Pac to lose?
He was too small?
He was too old?
The fight wasn’t fair?
It was rigged?

The list could go on…. Either way its up to Bob Arum since he’s now talking about Pac fighting Cotto (again) after Pac destroys a bum that Mararito is. Pac takes the cheater out before 9.

I guess it would matter more on there visits to court and taxes LOL

@coward

i understand what u sayin dog, but i can say the same about pac. isnt he avoiding pwill, bradly ………

@moo

there was a real chance of him loosing 41 times you know that man.

I dont think floyd is scared of anything or anyone. People like floyd dont get scared but he knows that their is a real chance of him loosing if he takes the fight. Thats the only reason the fight isnt happening, bc he is protecting the ZERO to make some more $ first.

@ tic tic
Im not going to argue with someone with as flawd logic as yours. Especialy since ring mag the best source for boxing ranks Pac as #1 p4p and mayweather as #2. But has it ever crossed your mind that maywather has never faught a volume puncher. He avoided Williams and Margarito bc of their volume punching style. Mabey that why he is also avoiding Pacman. Pacman is at least as good a fighter as mayweather just in a totaly different style, which happens to be much more fan freindly. Any one who says other is biased. Just because Joe Frasier had an ugly style doesnt mean that he was not the equivalent of Ali. Styles make fights and pacs style offers a unique and difficult challenge for anyone including mayweather. If mayweather thought he could beat pac easily the fight would have been made twice already.

ha!ha!ha! you know chris i never thought you could be so naive. ha!ha! frankly you sound more like a masseur than a boxing analyst, whatever. you think being scared in boxing is the same as that in holloween!ha!ha!!! in boxing when you’re scared, it’s not of a ghost who can’t touch you. y’know you could be blown off your socks man! that what it’s all about! if i am wrong and you are right, things could have ended the other way with the mayweather-pacquiao fight. definitely.

@MOO

“5 Years Amatuer Boxing Experiance”

I respect that, and you should know better calling a man like floyd scared.

@ Tic Tic

hey dumb, your like a child..why would we ask mosley you idiot!!go to sleep dumb..

@coward

dude, you guys said that before he faught shane. pac refused to fight shane. but who was it that whooped shane?

thank you

@roadkill- Pacquiao need rehab

it is you floyd fans who’s acting like a child.cant you accept that floyd is scared? cant you see that or youre just a bunch of cr@p…

Um what Floyd is not a god. he is a verry good boxer. But Pacman is the one without fear in this debate. Do you see mayweather chalenging guys two weight classes over(154 or 160) whare everybody knows he would be best(147, 140). NO. PAC is dooing that and has been dooing it for quite some time. So if you wana talk about being afraid the only person to talk about is Mayweather.

pacquiao fans you guys sound like children. do you all realize that? using catch phrases like “sissy” “scarred” F@g…. these are pro fighters. both these men got heart. how many of you every been in the square? how many of you every lace up? how many every been in a boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, point fighting, or even street fight?

thank you

MOO for @Tic Tic, floyd is a god, how can pacman defeat that LOL!!he says pacman is afraid of floyd..maybe this guy just woke up from a year of sleeping…

The only reason the fight isnt made yeat is because floyd wants to make some more money before he risks the ZERO against Pacman.

BELIEVE IT

@Anonomous, because everyone knows Minny Craquiao can be beat! JMM did it! Twice, he just didn’t get the nod.

Who get’s big paydays fighting Pac? Hell Pac doesn’t even get a big payday!!!

Do you call $13 Mil a big payday? Son, $40 Mil is a big payday!!!

Mayweather is the BIG MONEY DRAW!!!

1) Mosely
2) Berto
3) Bradley
4) Martinez
5) Williams

All of the above KNOW they can beat the midget. The midget knows it as well which is why he will avoid all of them like the plague!!!

Arum will keep the mealtrain going with simple fighters until Floyd Mayweather Jr. ends the mealtrain in May 2010!!

Midgets…you need another hobby or interest. Minny Craquiao is a JOKE and a HYPE Of The Decade! HOTD

floyd mayweather is not interested in fighting pacquioa right now coz he’s on a vacation with chris williams playing with each others d1ck ………..

@Tic Tic…

I bet if Floyd Mayweather broke into your house, beat up your family, stole your TV, killed your dog and drank your beer all whilst you stood there watching, you’d phone the police and report Manny Pacquiao…

…you’re delusional, mate…

@Tic Tic…

You’re pathetic, mate… if Mayweather was convicted for murder you’d be defending him… pathetic…

PACTARDS 41-0 Get it?

Manny Pacquiao has NEVER, NEVER, EVER faced an African American fighter in 56 fights! Why? That means another defeat if he fights one of the best. Floyd Mayweather is on vacation. Can he take one midgets?

I know you don’t understand that in the Philipines. 38 cents an hour is a lot in the Philipines I know, but vacations are a common thing in the US.

Minny Craquiao has to fight because when you make $13 Mil this is what happens:

1) US took 35% off the top
2) Arum took 27% off the top
3) Roach took 10% off the top
4) Ariza took 3% off the top
5) GBP took 3% off the top
6) The 100 Crew Entourage took God only knows how much

Which means: Pacquiao must fight again asap!!!

@ Tic Tic

same old story again..you dont have anymore excuses for floyd? were not fooled, youre the one who got fooled! LOL!

manny is not afraid of floyd and floyd is not afraid of manny he actually doesnt think this would be a tough fight at all. its about ego and brovado. and its about arum not wanting to put his cash cow in there since manny is fighting for the next few years. fight will never happen but has nothing to do with fear.

@Nissan, he’s knocking the same type fighters out. He is kept away from boxers and counterpunchers…for good reason. He will go from avoiding boxers and counterpunchers, to facing the VERY BEST BOXER on the planet!!! They have avoided JMM for Gods sake!

You Pacnuts will get a rude awakening. Arum and Roach have fooled all of you for a very long time. If you can’t see that this has been a very long “MEALTRAIN” for Arum and Roach, you will soon get that very difficult wake up call!

Floyd’s fear will take over once he steps in the ring with Manny, he’s not gonna go on cruise control he’ll be frozen stiff in terror. Fear is debilitating, it only gets worse when your forced to face it by pressure, only if you dig deep and truly want to face it are you truly able to conquer it. I think Mayweather is taking time off to build up the courage to face his fear which is Manny.

@onins

i agree…when they get old, having party and some beers, someone talks about boxing and floyd will change the topic coz deep dowm, pacman still hunts him…it can’t change the history..

Pac fans will not be sad if he loses to floyd because manny has already proven who he really is.We did not expect pac will get bigtime in boxing, he exceeded our expectation. Pac’s boxing career end is near, this margarito fight might be his last coz pac is now a congressman. at the end of the day manny can sleep well from his boxing career, sad for floyd, not facing manny will be his nightmare and will hunt him forever. floyd’s greatness will be incomplete.

It’s not that Mayweater is afraid of fighting Pacquiao. The question should read ” Is Mayweather ready for a challenge? ” Mayweather is a smart boxer and is aware that Pacquiao is dangerous. But believe me, Mayweater is a huge threat for the Pac man .

Boxing ain’t in Floyd’s mind at the moment. ^_^

Pull it out of is ass chris your making yourself look a fool.:-P

Now you writers are getting desperate to write anything! Pacaiuo is a over rayed b-level fighter at best..All he is, is a volume puncher, with out much real boxing ability nothing more to talk about. He brings in major cash because of his exciting to watch style. If they keep on matching him with these same washed up has beens and at catch weights every one involved will make even more money.

@haha
what year was that when pacman fought singsurat? you dont know what youer talking dude..you better keep silent than talking any that out of the world..

I didn’t realise that out of all the writers here Chris, you’d give in and hint out that ‘Mayweather is afraid of Manny’. I myself, despite being a Pacquiao-fan, never even thought of that.

Also, that ‘amateurish style’ that you say Manny has took down the great Ricky Hatton in less than two rounds, battered De La Hoya and a lot of other fighters in that square ring.

Mr. Williams, the fight isn’t happening this year, get over it and stop sucking Mr. Floyd’s sausage.

just come to think wut HAHA’s meant by P4P (pu..y 4 pu..y)…that make sense….hey HAHA..told ya…lil’ Floyd ain’t a P4P (pu..y 4 pu..y).

chris williams = mayweather’s girlfriend

Its time of the day to lift the spirits of all Floyd Huggers and sing their Floyd anthem:

Oh Where?? Oh Where??
Has my little Floyd gone?
Oh Where?? Oh Where can he be??
Coz his scared of PAC and don’t want to get knocked.
Oh Where?? Oh Where can He BE??

All what is written here are just personal feelings and out of control emotions, main subject on WHEN is Floyd going to agree to fight Pacman seems to be fading out slowly, what appears are angers and trashing which is endless, these opinios are just running on circles, there is no winner.

This writer lives in Fantasy land, Mayweather is a coward, that simple

hey ! floyd the coward mayweather come out! and fight me dont hide your ass in your face like your father did he’s always wearing ass mask when he goes public

yeah… I agree with HAHA. not sure why he’s called HAHA tho’. anyway, he’s right. mah lil’ Floyd ain’t a coward. that thing on TV “not thinkin’ of boxing right now” is a fake. kevy should know better. mah lil’ Floyd ain’t smell like a pu..y…

FMJ never fought on a catchweight.. he simply enter the ring several pounds heavier…

though he paid the penalty!! Poor JMM he just got mayweathered..

Mr Chris Williams if you feel you are tougher than ur idol Floyd, instead of writing something that will not change the fact that your idol is really afraid of Pacquiao why don’t you fight Pac yourself, because your idol Floyd even you say the very worst thing against Pacman there is deifintely NO IMPACT until he agrees to fight. You’re trying to institute and try very hard to validate Floyd and destroy Pacquiao which contain too much padded statement that precisely is hard for anybody to believe. It clearly manifest your hatred to Manny and many are wondering why you had been allowed to write such unbalanced view. Anybody given privilege to write an article can say anything they like, but real facts should be substantiated, what you are writing are your personal feeling and hatred and you released the outburst in your article. An indication of an unprofessional writer that is using media to deliver his personal vendetta, this is bad, I hope your EDITOR has enough brain to understand your true motives and be a true professional to know what EDITING is all about.

im wondering why floyd didnt even protected himself for the whole world calling him a coward..maybe he’ll speak up soon but isnt it too late? why not now that the whole world is confused why he’s not talking..maybe they are making a good plan to turn this whole thing to pacman..

@kevy kev

And wouldn’t that be a spectacle of mayweather ends up fighting those people.. especially p. will?

mayweather is under al haymon gbp promotes his fights, if mayweather would be fighting stable fighters like pacquiao he’ll be fighting berto, williams and such so that’s not the truth.

AN HONEST PAC FAN
pacquiao fought delahoya obviouslt their was controversy even freddie roach said delahoya killed HIMSELF to make weight delahoya had not fought welterweight in years.

hatton took alot of punishment in the kostya tzyu fight and fighters dont recover from those type of fights, example taylor vs chavez.. mugabi vs hagler..jones vs tarver same with cotto to much damage from margarito etc

When the fight happens then we’ll know. Only then. But you have to love the way they have built it up. We’re all on here ever day talking about it. Everyone picking a side. For me personally I love both fighters they both bring something to the table and if these promoters would do their real jobs and put together the fights that we really want to see the world of boxing would be a whole lot better but we know that wont happen. At the end of the day fighters put their life’s on the line so that they can take care of their families. They wont to give the fans what they wont but its still a business. Are any of us willing to go to work and do our jobs for less pay just to make someone else happy? Thing about it people.

he never could get a deal done with bob arum cotto none of the fighters the only fighter ive just remembered is henry brusless cotto’s sparring partner that fights like cotto mayweather demolished the guy beating him and holding a convo. with jim lampley during the fight, cotto was his big money man but got cotto a good beating no 2 good beating from pac, and cheato

@boxtop123

by the way cotto is in toprank..so you mean negotiation between pacman and floyd is not a successful bcoz of arum and floyd bad blood(as you saying)?

COWARD
i thought i did margarito is promoted by BOB ARUM you could say the same for cotto mayweather vs any top rank fighter is going to be hard to put together because of the bad blood with arum and mayweather neither BOB ARUM OR FLOYD MAYWEATHER GIVES A FLYING Fu*K ABOUT ANY OF US BUT THESE ARE FACTS AND YOU PAC FANS ACCUSE FLOYD OF DUCKING CERTAIN FIGHTERS AND THEY ALL ARE TOP RANK GUYS PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER
BOB ARUM.. DO A SEARCH ON ARUM AND YOU WILL SEE HE HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF BRIBING BOXING OFFICIALS HE IS DIRTY DONT BELIEVE ME CHECK YOURSELF THIS IS A FACT

*Correction

I meant to say I don’t think Arum is a saint…

@boxtop123

That’s why I keep saying, it’s pointless to throw that sort of stuff into the arguments because people will see it the way they want to see it.

I don’t thin Arum is a saing… put it that way… but no promoter is… not Don King… and sure as hell not GBP… and this isn’t speculation..

I can’t tell you what to do.. so you can keep adding these arguments into the mix… I can tell you (or perhaps remind you) that you won’t be getting what you expect out of people, especially the fans from the other side of the fense…

So I’ll just say good luck to your crusade….

If Floyd isn’t afraid and is the best as he says he is, why not just prove it? Don’t leave everyone making comments about how great Floyd is or how bad Pac is. Floyd come on and shut everyone up.

COWARD
you keep saying that i am copying someone else well just scroll down and you will see where you copied a post from jazz the truth then posted .. man i just love shutting yo azz down damn quit looking for a cosigner and do what daddy said take yo azz to bed, now everyone can see with their own eyes how you are copying someone elses sh*t

but thats ok it’s people like you that make it easier for true fans to distinguish who’s real and who’s a COWARD.. GET IT YOU GET IT HA HA HA HA

boxtop123 can post a comment maybe after how many minutes coz he’s looking at other comments and other article here so that he can post on his…this guy is a dumb…

@An Honest Pacman Fan

thats why this @boxtop123 keeps telling about the past coz he just read those comments from others, he just copying it..it was proven yesterday when we are arguing here..then again a while ago he copy again another comments from lastweek..this dude is a cr@p, he dont know nothing…

@boxtop123

Dude, I kept telling you, you won’t get anywhere arguing about past opponents and who did what to who…

People will always see things the way it serves them a better purpose… just like you would see everything that Pac has done is suspect except ofcourse for the fights he’s lost or struggled. Then you’ll get people arguing with you about the castillo fight.. and how would that end..

If I were you, I’d stick with the current delimma of Mayweather against Pac… You’d have more success trying to convince some people why Mayweather would win…

Although ultimately, it is hard for Mayweather fans… because he’s on vacation and has not provided you guys with enough ground to stand on….

Sorry but that is the fact at the current state…

ofcourse he coudnt hit floyd coz he stop punching after 2nd round..i know floyd is a master boxer but why he dont want to fight pacman? i know you will say he didnt ducked pacman but why he keeps telling media that he want to stay away from boxing and boxing is not on his mind right now? didnt he speak up before mosley fight that they know where to find him when pacman wants to fight?

@boxtop123

can you explain to me what is protected fighters? i’ll ask you i know youre a floyd fan, then why floyd fought baldomir instead of margarito?

@boxtop123

pacquiao is a protected fighter? if he’s a protected fighter, why he fought dela hoya, cotto, marquez, barrera, morales and hatton? he rather fight calderon and arce which is more smaller than him…how about floyd? what do you call on him? probably not a protected fighter right?

COWARD
you cant show me sh*t pull that di*k out of your mouth and go to bed

@boxtop123

oooooh so youre the one posted this lastweek? are you sure? hahahaha!!! you want me to show who’s the original?

@kevy kev

so you mean mosley got gassed on that 2nd round? i know floyd outbox him at the start of 3rd but i dont know what happened to mosley..it should be a knockout win for him but he stop punching..

@boxtop123

where did you copy this comments again? hahahaha!

@coward i know i say some harsh things but seriously man mosley got gased becuz of the activity that was going on in that ring. mosley had to punch and lunge. mosley is in good shape but floyd made him miss alot. cotto already had a weapon that always beaten mosley and it was a great jab “for mosley”. the jab is the reason cotto won but it was close close

an honest pac fan
hey bro.. the fight with floyd and pac has alot behind it steming from arum and floyds past relationship when 2 people hate each other like they do one is not likely to put money in the hands of the other. arum roach and pac all know to beat floyd they need lightning to strike even you yourself have mentioned that you think floyd will win but you favor pac correct me if im wrong, by the way what happened to your list of fighters for pac and be sure to leave out whom ever you choose either way same result…peace

@boxtop123

did pacman says his the best? yesterday i didnt respond on your comments bcoz its non sense, you better talk to a 5 year old kid..you dont know nothing, i repeat you dont know nothing…

@gerry we really dont know how exact everything will play out for the 2 when they step in that ring but one thing for sure, you wouldnt bet your money against mayweather when they do fight becuz if you do then you’ll lose everything including your women trust

@boxtop123

And as far as you insinuating that Pac knows he can’t beat Money…

- I don’t know too but so far… trying to get a fight wight a fighter that you know you can’t beat sort of doesn’t make sense does it?

COWARD
i asked you a question yesterday and you couldnt answer it then you and your man jones went to bed remember, then finally jones and yourself admitted mayweather gets paid like the best fighter in the game… and JAZZ as far as manny saying he is the best you are right he didnt he is the only one of you guys that knows he is not YOU KNOW HE CANT BEAT FLOYD AND ARUM KNOWS HE CANT THUS THE REASON YOU GUYS ARE OK WITH HIM FIGHTING WEAKER OPPOSITION AND STAGED FIGHTS

@man up floydie

floyd didnt make them fool, they are already fool when floyd comes in boxing..so, if floyd fooled them they are now an idiot! LOL!

Nah kevy… lil Floyd doesn’t smells like a pu..y. it ain’t lil Floyd. it can’t be. the one you saw on TV sayin “i’m actually not thinking of boxing right now” ain’t mah lil’ Floyd. It’s a fake.

@cade

see @boxtop123 dont even know who pacman fought who has power LOL! this @boxtop123 is an idiot..maybe this guy is crazy or another pretender…

“I see Pacquiao reduced to a pile of bloody flesh on the canvas”…

Yeah, right…but just a piece of advise Chris, don’t ever mention Pacmans’ name if ever you had a chance to meet lil Floyd face to face. He may slump and become “a pile of bloody flesh on the canvas” if you know what I mean.

@JAZZ The Truth

boxtop123 dont know what he’s talking..let him post his comments here coz that guy seems coming out from mental hospital..pretending that he knows whats happening..he dont know nothing here…

@boxtop123

here you are again making people know that you know whats going on LOL! this idiot @boxtop123 copying others comments yesterday so that people may think he knows whats happening hahahaha…

Mayweather not afraid but he is scared. And wht does smell like? PU$$Y!!!! U like??

@kevy kev

ofcourse not.just nothing.i just want to see that fight.i love boxing and i love watching great boxers fighting each other..i like pacman, i like mayweather but i blame floyd on this, this is not what he used to do on his opponents before..i am sure he’s not ready to face the risk or maybe he cant move anymore like he fight before..i think it’s too late for him to fight a fighters that has a calliber like pacman

PAC FANS
manny deserves to be a champion not the best by far and not pound for pound more along the lines of hector camacho,
or vinnie pazienza.. different fighting styles of course but not great champions either

I dont like Bob Arum, but this shiz in Boxings been played from day 1 since Don King. Not happy bout Margarito. Id rather Pac wait for Money. Boxings dyin cuz of this drama.

Hey Chris how about a rebuttal on YahooSports Kevin article that would be great!

Show Kevin what you’re made of!

@coward look take it or leave it mf floyd only fights once a year I’ve been saying this sense day 1 butt wipe

Kudos to my pal Chris for this good article!
.
.
.
.
.

Not!

It hasn’t been a very good week for you Mayweather fans has it. The media have tore little Floyd’s backside up so bad he won’t be able to sit down for a month. Mayweather only has himself to blame.

True warriors dont pick their battles, they fight them!

If you wanna say floyd’s scared did he told yall that or did he told yall that? no, so to say that floyd is scared is like say MANNY DIDNT ACCEPT DRUG TESTING AND BID HIMSELF OUT WHICH SOUNDS MORE REASONABLE

same old story, different editor. Will it be a good fight? I think it would be – IF IT EVER HAPPENS! I think it will go

FLOYD wins via unanimous decision
or
MANNY wins via KO

Please stop using your overused metaphor like – he’ll beat him like an old habit. Please!

@coward some say IRS which could be the case because he only fights once a year. Nov. 13 was just too close for him to fight right after he trainned hard and fought mosley, too close

7 BELTS BYOTCH. COME GET EM.

All of a sudden floyd mayweather becomes scared of a catchweight midget lol

@ kevy kev

so whats the reason why floyd didnt fought pacman? yes he’s not afraiod but what is the reason?

@ ciel

the only way they can defend pink floyd is doing some article like this..this guys are fooled by mayweather, i dont know why this people cant open there eyes..or maybe they are just idiot..

WHIPS HIM WITH EASE, I like the sound of that, OK Mr Romero get me my whip and I’ll try some routine on how to Whip with ease. No, Mr Romero, you have to stand still.

DUDE…MAYWEATHER DIDNT EVEN REALLY HURT DE LAHOYA..pACQUIAO PUT A STAMP ON THAT RETIREMENT!

Pummel Pacquiao to the canvas??? Mayweather has not had a knock out since 2007, and 2005 before that. Pacquiao has knocked people out numerous times from 1995 to 2009! NO FREAKIN HOLES!
Isnt it funny that for the first time in history, that Mayweathers gone silent? Mayweather silent?!?!? sup wit that? used to love Maywetaher, but yes he is a ducksman.

Scared fighters are even harder to hit ! haha think back everybody to your first fights when you were all in the amateurs. we were all so scared we looked like Willie Pep hehe

Mayweather did not accept the fight or want to talk about it. Actions speak louder than words. Mayweather does not want to face Pacquiao.

Floyd is certainly not scare of Pacman but not sure of victory.Like Freddie Roach said Floyd feel he is not ready yet to fight Pacman.

@romero

not sure I follow your reasoning. If you say that EVERYONE is calling out Manny to fight because they are not scared of him are we to assume everyone is afraid to fight Floyd because NOBODY is calling him out even though as history has proven the big bucks lie with fighting Floyd? Can´t say I agree with your theory, doesn´t follow rational thinking or historical reference at all. Shane Mosley called out Floyd for that very reason, he knew he would get his biggest pay day for that reason and guess what, it worked. Are you suggesting every other fighter is now afraid of Floyd and that´s why nobody is calling him out despite the millions they will make against him?

Chris,

remember you said foreman was gonna school cotto?!

wot the f**k would u know!

Floyd is not thinking boxing right now…he’s thinking of joining the LA DODGERS or Mighty DUCKS.

good to see you back Chris. Great article. Totally different from that clown Iole from yahoo’s sports. Although I don’t believe for one minute Mayweather is afraid of Pacman. I was excited to see the fight happen in November and am slightly disappointed that it will not take place till 2011. Anyway good job Chris….keep up the good work.

The concept of someone being ´scared of another´and whipping that other person with ease doesn´t exactly make a lot of sense does it? The author has the literary skills of a tribesman from the amazon forest and the pure bias of the article, emotionally driven cliches lack of facts and in depth analysis makes reading this garbage painful.

As you said Chris “Once they get in the ring”. Will Pink Floyd steps up and get in the ring with the FIGHTER OF THE DECADE????

Could the title of this article be any more outlandish? Way to get hits douc#%#bag

Floyd is not thinking about boxing right now.
