Cant believe it's actually going to happen. 5 years too late but its better than nothing

why the sudden confidence? anything new?

All the media who were pessimistic about it have changed their tune to thinking it will get done or very optimistic. It has to be announced this weekend or next

Floyd, lineal title holder at 154 lbs, 3 time champion at 154, currently holds the WBC belt at the weight.

But won't fight Golovkin at the weight.

So we agree then he is a cherry picking paper champ ducking Fraud.

If you won't fight someone at the weight then you should be stripped of the title, doesn't matter who you are.

Catchweights for titles just shouldn't happen and it's the fans fault for accepting them.

We agree on that Floyd should be stripped of his titles.

Golovkin isn't ranked at LMW unfortunately if he was and became mandatory I would expect mayweather to fight him. Manny used to be his mandatory but ran when he found out he might actually have to fight him instead of making floyd dump the belt

Lara and Khan are his madatories now. He is not fighting them as well.

Maidana wasn't his mandatory

Floyd ducks the best.

Lara blew his chance against Canelo. Khan blew it against Danny Garcia. Mayweather has always fought the best

Mandatory, Poor RGS doesn't understand.

Maidana didn't blow his chance when Khan beat him or when Alexander shut him out.

RGS thinks Maidana is the best

D4 wound up

Marquez KO6

Maidana beat the future pound for pound king in Broner. Maidana is a all time great

Has Khan ever been Floyds mandatory? thought it was just a fight that was mooted.

Whilst it would be nice to see each boxer fight their mandatories it just doesn't happen and the rankings are that bad that people are just maneouvred into that position.

So in that respects, no Floyd shouldn't be stripped as he's done no worse than anyone else. In a perfect sport though, yes he would.

Who gives a t 0ss about mandatories. Arreola got a mandatory for getting his fat nose smashed in a few times

Bret The Hitman Hart used to say he was:

"the best there is, the best there was & the best there ever will be"

Floyd Vs Bret Hart anyone?

Khan is Floyd's mandatory now.

Fighters get stripped if they duck their mandatory, fortunately Haymon pays the likes of the WBC off.

Floyd's whole career is smoke and mirrors.

Because if the rankings were done properly then we'd get the proper matchups, Mayweather and Manny wouldn't have been able to spend the last 5-6 years figuring out new ways to avoid each other and we wouldn't have numerous belts per division.

Tut Tut D4, you know that doesn't happen all the time. Mandatories are and always have been sidestepped sometimes (I'm sure Manny's done it too.)

You can give Floyd a lot of crap but not for the same stuff everyone else does.

Lot of people wrong about Al Haymon. He will run boxing. No more politics and promoters like Arum blocking the best boxers fighting each other. What D4 just said is libel.

They didnt avoid each other. The fight just happened to be blocked for years because Bob Arum didnt want the stock of his cash cow going down the drain. He didnt believe Manny would beat Mayweather.

Stevenson goes to Haymon, ducks Kovalev
LSC goes to Haymon, ducks Rigo
Mayweather, spent his career with Haymon, ducks everybody.

Unfortunately fanboys like RGS and Derby are the reason Floyd can get away with his ducking.

When he retires the fanboys will disappear as well.

So it's Haymon you have the issue with?

Not Floyd.

Floyd is a puppet of Haymon, but Floyd is still a ducker, Haymon has just made his ducking possible.

D4 is just upset Floyd is going to batter his idol Manny in a few months time.

Mayweather has fought the best there is. Maidana is a future hall of famer. Khan got a gift decision to beat him. He beat the future legend Broner in a close fight that could have gone either way. Pacquiao got schooled by Bradley in their first fight imagine what Floyd is going to do to him.

Manny is a puppet of arum and bob arum pretty much owns wbo! Top 4 fighters wbo ranked are top rank fighters PUPPET
