Floyd Mayweather Jr is 'The Ultimate Coward' for choosing retirement over Manny Pacquiao


Floyd Jr announces retirement (AP)

Mayweather's announcement of a taking a couple of years off has swept the world of sports. It's a massive body shot that's knocked the wind out of Boxing fans from all four corners of the earth. 'Say it aint so, Floyd.' Is this another crazy trick from Floyd Mayweather Jr? I can tell you this; if Floyd does retire without fighting Manny Pacquiao then he will become the Sport's "Ultimate Chicken". I can't think of a more cowardly move than this.

Where should I begin with the analysis of one the biggest acts of fraudulence this sport has ever seen? How about we start with Floyd Jr's return to boxing.
Floyd's return
 Floyd announces his comeback to Boxing on the day of Manny Pacquiao's fight with Ricky Hatton. Was it a coincidence? Not at all. This was a calculated move to upstage the biggest fight of the time. Floyd wanted to steal the spotlight and announce his return.
Floyd's first Opponent
So, Floyd comes back and decides to take on a very talented boxer in Juan Manuel Marquez. A boxer that has gone to war with Manny twice before. A boxer who's in the top 10 pound-for-pound. A boxer who's won multiple championships. A boxer who's clearly too small to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. Say it ain't so Floyd?
Fight Delay
Floyd's grand return was derailed by an injury during his training camp. So it's pushed back a couple of months. Many speculated that Floyd used the story of being injured because he wasn't in boxing shape and would be in trouble if he were to fight Marquez so soon.
1 Million PPVs
So, Marquez and Mayweather sell 1 million PPVs and everyone is hailing Floyd Jr as the PPV king. He's come back to reclaim this throne and to steal the pound-for-pound title back from Manny Pacquiao. Immediately, talks of Floyd vs. Manny start but Team Mayweather is able to deflect them until after the Miguel Cotto fight.
Drug Accusations
So the mega-fight negotiations are upon us and the world is ecstatic. The holidays are here and everyone is cheerful and happy. But, instead of getting that toy for Christmans we get another pair of socks. And not just any socks, but they are the most hideous pair of socks you've ever seen and nobody would even dare wear them in public. Yes that's right, the ugly pair of socks was Team Mayweather's claims that Manny Pacquiao was taking PEDs. Without any proof, Team Mayweather publicly blast Manny and accuse him of cheating.......

Mud-Slinging The accusations of cheating didn't stop once the negotiations were over. It got even worse. For months all we hear is Manny is afraid of...

    What a disappointment! I waited for this mega fight to happen and this is the second time around this Gayweather is toying us the fans. I should have learned my lessons the first time this Fraudweather is asking Manny Pacman to take a steroid test(first time he ask this for a fighter)and now a two years vacation...oh boy! Black community here in Chicago is disowning this Gayweather right now. What a disgrace you COWARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!

    Manny Paquiao needs to fight one more time and retire too, to be back once Gayweather announces another scheme of come back to (con everyone) fight again. Gayweather will have no other recourse but to face Pacman once and for all. Lets not give Gayweather any window of opportunity to select opponent of his choice.

    the first time floyd retire was because there are alot of good fighters looming around his division. then he came back and an inevitable fight with Pacquiao will hapen, before everything goes smooth in negotiations he is announcing retirement! what a chicken!

    Actually there are only few fights left for fraudie to take and all of them are high risk low return fights except the one with pacman...unless he would want to fight JMM (again), Paulie (the blab), hatton brothers, or a rematch with Mosley...which are all low risk - low return...this retirement announcement is crap...fraudie is just making noise to get some attention while pacman is reaping (again) awards for his achievements...Jr and Sr are full of envy and jealousy..."I am Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao...Greatness lies not in strength, but in the use of that strength" and these words will haunt fraudie all his life...

    In the early part of Paquiao-Gayweather failed negotiation, Gayweather camp was even blaming Paquiao of letting go $40 million pay for not taking the drug test and stuff. I guess it would be more solid to say Gayweather gave up 60-75 million pay by announcing retirement in the midst of this negotiation for the second time. I guess the Mayweather clan thinks all people around the world are illiterate-stupid morons like themselves. And their kind are the only "chosen people in the world, just maybe and is only my opinion.

    I am not a coward but this is my strategy to protect my zero loss. I will only fight boxers who are small and not on their prime! See, I fought Mosley when he's old that's why I win. With my win to Juan Manuel Marquez, I take advantage of the excess weight even if I pay the extra just to win the fight. Manny Pacquiao is on his prime now so I made a lot of excuses to delay the fight like drug tests and years off. Since Pacquiao is now a Congressman, he will be busy and cant practice anymore with his new position in the government office. By that time, I will be back and challenge Pacquiao. This is my strategy because I want to be the greatest fighter of all time with my zero loss. I want to be in the Hall of Fame! I want to be GREAT..... NOT COWARD BUT A GREAT CHEATER! LOL

    Pacquiao vs de la Hoya: Pacman by TKO 9th round
    Pacquiao vs Hatton: Pacman by KO 2nd round
    Pacquiao vs Mayweather: Mayweather retires even before stepping into ring!

    What a Wanker - Tosser!

    Hey All!

    Now that Floyd's into charity of sorts, which Manny was and is into genuinely, why not have and yell out for the Dream Match and dough proceeds would go to charity!

    Yeah! Not a bad idea to counter Floyd's excuse!

    20% goes to charity of their choice, while each boxer takes home 40% each!

    Oh yeah!

    Now, that would make perfect sense and rationalize the things said lately by Floyd to hibernate for a year or two!

    Sure, could any of the Examiner.com column writers do an online petition for global fans to stats in?

    WAY TO GO FLOYD!!!

    GET AWAY FROM THE CIRCUS KNOWN AS TEAM PACQUIAO.

    they had six months ago to concede to the 14-day cut off and didn't - thereby KILLING THE MEGA FIGHT THE FIRST TIME AROUND.

    eff pacquiao and arum.

    floyd, you've proved you don't need pacquiao as much as he and his fans need YOU!

    look what kind of frenzy their in over your announcement of retirement.

    way to go floyd.

    go let pacquiao go and fight ANOTHER ARUM BUM FIGHTER.

    you set the terms, floyd - it's your way or the highway.

    this absolutely proves you are not to be trifled with.

    ENJOY YOUR TIME OFF. COME BACK WHENEVER YOU WANT.

    THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE GIVEN US.

    "He (floyd) should be assassinated."

    tsk tsk tsk, such anger you pacfans have.

    from the "writer" (who called floyd a coward) to this poster who expresses his wish for the murder of a FAMOUS PUBLIC FIGURE (in floyd mayweather), is it any surprise floyd wants nothing to do with your collective pathological personalities? team pacquiao and arum are basically an extension of you!

    what's really surprising in these outbursts, however, is how the examiner staff sanction them by not filtering such blatant expressions of evil and suggestions of killing public figures and law breaking. if someone were to suggest "assassinating" manny pacquiao everyone on these boards would be up in arms with outrage.

    thank the lord floyd mayweather is wiping his hands clean of your element. why should he satisfy such a fan base of namecallers and others calling for his murder on the examiner website when he can fight good guys like mosely or marquez?

    good riddance

    i think floyd retired again because he want to have an excuse not to fight pacman, while pacman is on his prime. maybe gayweather thinks a year or two will make pacman loose some of his speed and agility. Freddie told a reporter after the mosley mayweather fight that mayweather is not the same fighter any more and thinks he no longer have his legs on that fight, and think manny can knock him out easily.

    It seems that there is a low budget propaganda machine sputtering along with the goal of salvaging Pacroid's tarnished image.I never hear any of this pro Pacroid news on any of the mainstream media, none of the credible sources would stick their neck out and write reports on hear say and lies.Pacroid is surrounded by groupie, small-time writers like Ronnie Nathanielz, Chino Trinidad, Dennis Guillermo and Rick Rockwell..writers who have no credibility and have been known to lie.I clearly remember an article from Chino Trinidad where he reported that the blood test Pacroid was taking 20 days before the Clottey fight would include PEDs testing.This was a flat out lie, the blood test was for a physical only but this shows the kind of people that surround Pacroid.
