Title: No superlatives left for Mr Mayweather...
Post by: G_Thang on January 29, 2014, 12:18:32 AM

Didn't Canelo take money back to Mexico?  How about Khan and the UK?

He has to stop hand picking opponents. He is a great fighter. No one can challenge that but he has been ducking Manny for years. Now that Pac Man is on the decline and Mayweather has still got you would figure he would jump at the chance but no he's  worried he will end up like the Patriots and lose the final game.

As far as Pac Man using steriods and Mayweather doesn't, he may have a valid point.

Thank God that most of our other favourite sports don't have the 'pick your next team' approach  ::)

If my beloved Tottenham Hotspur win the Premier League, it will be because they beat most of the opponents put in front of them, on a good and bad day!

Floyd needs to fight Pac to secure his legacy in the ultimate way. If he retires undefeated but doesn't fight Manny there will always be that element of doubt about his true greatness.

That is pretty harsh but we all know that it's true. I think they will fight but the deciding factor will be money. It will happen but probably not until Pac's skills have waned a little bit more.

Exactly.

The more decades that pass after he retires undefeated, the less the facts will balance the perception of the ducking. He has more than belts to lose if he doesn't fight Manny (legacy).

manny may be one of the better fighters of his generation but mayweather is one of, if not the greatest pound for pound fighter of all time, his record speaks for itself.
if he chooses not to fight manny it doesnt really matter as his legacy in boxing has already been written, he is unbeaten in 45 fights,  been a world champion for 11 or 12yrs at like 4 different weights and you think he needs to fight pacquiao to secure his legacy, i couldnt disagree more.

Spurs are lucky to win a London derby ;) ha ha rejuvenated right now under Sherwood, he's given Adebayor a chance and hes smashing them in. Will be lucky to finish 5th this season though.

What kind of legacy do you have when you duck the best?  Pacquiao said he will fight him for nothing. Give it all away to charity. Mayweather has a solid reputation of fighting hand picked opponents. A real champ fights the best out there. Guys that go down in history because of them fighting the best. Mayweather going down undefeated will be quickly forgotten about with an * by his record saying he wouldn't fight Pac man at his best because it was to risky a fight to take.

BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!  ;D

If Liverpool/Chelsea/Man City/Wankers weren't playing so well at the moment, i'd say we have a very good chance of top 4 this season. Regardless, we will finish 4th if we keep PLAYING TO WIN.

I just can't see Man Utd NOT finishing Top 4......so that makes 2-4th positions very tight.

My predictions

1. City
2. Chelsea
3. Shitholes
4. Spurs

You have Spurs ahead of Liverpool?! Man U also, u must be away with it ha ha. Never happening, wheres the Gunners?! Im going:

1. City
2. Chelski
3. Arsenal
4. Liverpool - had they beaten the top 2 over Xmas they would have been #1 or #2 (destroyed them both and still lost 2-1)

Liverpool will not continue form until the end of the season, mark my words.

Man U finishing below Spurs - why not? We've spanked them in 3 of the last 4 PL games lol.

A*****l will have a bad run of games from next month and drop too many points to keep up with City/Chelsea for the title.

Yes this is how a lot of people will see it. I agree Mayweather is a masterful boxer but if he wants to be known as the best ever he needs to fight Pac.

if he chooses not to fight manny it doesnt really matter as his legacy in boxing has already been written, he is unbeaten in 45 fights,  been a world champion for 11 or 12yrs at like 4 different weights and you think he needs to fight pacquiao to secure his legacy, i couldnt disagree more.

You're talking pre-junior welterweight.  he has avoided the top 147-154 guys the last couple of years.

Bradley #1 147
Lara #1 154
Paul Williams #1 @147-160 at one-point
Manny is shot but still a southpaw with speed.

Three of the four are active and he won't touch any of them over that TMT bullshit and cherry picking Mexican sluggers.

He got exposed by Mosley and Cotto, both guys hit him, so he blamed it on Roger Mayweather.  His reflexes are going a bit, so he damn sure needs guys in the ring he can time.  Khan is fast but a standard stiff Euro fighter.  He'll time Khan every time he tries to come in.  

FMW was good pre-144 but has BS above.

Yep, this is my prediction too. Arsenal are starting to implode, too many games coming up in the next few days including Europe. Liverpool will finish strong and could possibly overtake Arsenal if Rogers buys someone big in the next day or too. Man U will be lucky to finish fifth this year - that will be a gift for them. Spurs either fifth or sixth.

money is the best thing going in boxing right now, but if he hangs around too long he will eventually lose like roy jones jr did .  after watching jones lose to tarver, johnson , hopkins you start to wonder if he really was that good.

Shane mosely used drugs and was caught... However mayweather had no problem fighting him as he was over the hill.

Any fighter in boxing or MMA only has so many fights in them before fighting takes it's toll. It's always the same old story. A great fighter reaches his limit and loses then the people say, see he isn't that great.

A real fighter has a heart and fights until he realizes in the ring he doesn't have it any more. Roy Jones Jr. lost to inferior opponents. It was just his time to go.

ha ha i am delighted with the FT score. I myself am Liverpool all the way, but theres no denying Spurs were one of the undoubted form teams under Sherwood, completely different to the AVB team. BTW Man City thumped 6 passed Arsenal so theres no shame in that, at home they are as close to unbeatable as any team ive ever seen.

Keeps us with a firm grip of the top 4 chase  ;D

IF he fought Manny of 2008-2010 it would have been a far more dangerous fight for FMW then as Manny was alot faster with his hands then

you're letting him off too easy.  he needs to fight the #1 contenders at 147 and 154, two afro-based fighters with youth and skills, not an undersized Asian with short arms and a tendency to rush into straight rights. .

Manny did testing with Vada for the Rios fight and looked great. he was still super fast and landing 6 punch combos before Rios could blink. I think he is ducking manny. Floyd makes the contracts just get vada involved in the contract if he thinks manny is juicing. Floyd has taken just as many hard fights as manny and has won easily in all of them-IMo especially in the lat 4 years nobody has gotten close! canelo was hitting Air while Floyd was posing for the camera. In the end floyd does not need the money no matter how much it is. The fight will never happen. Floyd def ducked manny! The money was right years ago! Manny even said he would take a 40% cutt and floyd would get 60% plus drug testing. manny might of been juicing years ago but now with vada pretty hard to juice and get away with it. Floyd would not even agree to use vada for some reason maybe he is hiding shit,Floyd uses usada
