I agree. Mayweather has taken a page out of the De La Hoya handbook on how to pick your fights. Let's face it, Mayweather can pick his fights, doesn't fight against dangerous boxers in their prime and doesn't like to get hit in the face. He picks fighters that make him look good.
He's currently in PR on vacation and sat down with Miguel Cotto & Co re: promoting young fighters, etc... De La Hoya lives here with his beautiful PR wife, so he too could be meeting or playing golf with them. They all have promotion co's.
Miguel was robbed by Margarito, was exposed by Pacquiao, and then hired Emmanuel Steward and won the 154 WBA belt. Mayweather could like a well-paid PPV fight against twice-beaten up, yet dangerous Cotto. Pacquiao is too much of a risk.

If they fight, I'll buy it. I too, am beginning to feel as if Floyd is ducking Manny.

Unless you're a Mayweather lackey, you can't be surprised. At least Pacquiao's response was classy: "The video speaks for itself," Pacquiao said in a statement given to ESPN.com by his publicist, Fred Sternburg. If you really wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, you could say he has a really good sense of irony: "Pacquiao, he can't speak no English." Plus, he is correct on one point. Pacman is yellow. |

Floyd's scared. It's not like he'd have to resort to this garbage to hype a fight--this fight will be huge no matter what--and he's only one who keeps searching for answers to NOT fight. As for PED's--who the hell knows--nor do I care. Like anything else--it only seems to matter if talented people use it--or get accused--if Hurricane Peter McNealy (Hurricane's in the House) used every PED known to man-do you care?
If you aren't scared--then why not get in ring and if you beat the man--then you have even more reason to brag--you beat someone you believe to be on PEDs--oh wait--he got in ring with Mosely--so what is reason again for NOT fighting Manny?

If the boxing organizations had any guts they would ban Floyd on this, but there are no boxing organizations.    This comes off as outright racism. As one married to a Filipina, I think it is pretty disgusting. |

Yes, if he mentioned dinuguan, then I would think he knew what he was talking about.  |

I get that he should be punished for the domestic abuse, but (clarify if I'm wrong) he is getting charged for "stealing" the cell phones that he gave his children? |

Pretty Boy, Manny P. says hi!
(BTW, blood test right now!)

He's too busy beating up his women to even consider fighting Manny. There is no chance that PBF will take the risk of getting his face bludgeoned like Margarito did tonight.
