So long as he dodges Manny it doesn't matter what his record is.
the first negotiation fell thru when pacquiao would not agree to the mediator's conditions. they decided to go to a mediator and floyd accepted the result but pacquiao would not. floyd agreed to the 14 days before the fight, pacquiao wants 24. so who's dodging who? and remember too that before they went into mediation, roach said they need a cut off date of at least 7 days before the fight. mediator gave them 14 instead. so im sure manny has his reasons and if he didnt want to do it then thats fine but dont put that on floyd. in the 2nd round of negotiations, bob arum and top rank lied to make floyd look bad. arum said fight was ok to go and manny has signed on, only thing left was for floyd to sign. floyd missed the deadline and arum made it seem like floyd dodged it. a few days later, de la hoya came out and said that there was never an agreement in place. arum said ross greenberg, hbo sports president at the time acted as the go between. ross greenberg came out and said he acted as an intermediary but the talks never came close because manny wouldnt agree to the drug testing stuff which contradicts what arum had said. 2 months ago, a year after the negotiations ended, michael koncz who is a top advisor with manny, came out and admitted that manny never agreed to the fight conditions which is why neither he nor mayweather agreed to the fight. bob arum lied about it and put the countdown clock on toprank's webpage to put pressure on floyd and make him look bad because he has had a personal agenda against floyd ever since floyd left toprank to join de la hoya at golden boy.
stop making random stuff up because u read 1 article about it. the negotiations fell thru cuz neither side could find common ground. if manny wanted to fight floyd as badly as u guys want to believe then he would be more accomodating cuz its not like floyd's making an unreasonable request. floyd asks this for all of his fights and no one else has had a problem. so u can sit there and pretend like u know about whats going on in their negotiations because u only read what bob arum is saying but at the end of the day none of us know what the deal is. why does floyd have to bend to manny's demands if manny isnt required or expected to do the same? if u say floyd is dodging manny then i'll say that manny is dodging the drug test.
also, u guys make it sound like he's been fighting bums the whole time. perhaps u forgot about a guy named juan manuel marquez. this is a boxer who fought manny real close twice. result was a draw and a split decision for manny. both of those fights could have gone either way for both fighters. the point is that it goes to show how good marquez is. when marquez fought mayweather, he was the second best pound for pound fighter in the world. right up there with manny. yet mayweather manhandled him and made him look like an amateur by keeping him to a 13% connect rate on 593 punches. and this was after a long lay off too. he also put up his undefeated record against hatton's record as well. dude isnt dodging anyone, but he wont fight unless both sides can come to an agreement.
