There is an unbeaten fighter, an untouchable fighter who lauds above his division like a Roman God. Here is a man who is obnoxious, arrogant and undefeated\u2026perhaps undefeatable in the eyes of his followers. Should anyone question his Godly status, they are deemed \u2018haters\u2019 and the boxing organizations would tend to agree. He is \u2018The best ever\u2019\u2026a phenomenon. This man is scheduled to fight a tough hombre who has been beaten but never gives up\u2026a flawed legend who many feel has the style to depose the man who would be king. Sound familiar\u2026.well, it\u2019s not Floyd Mayweather, JR. vs Manny Pacquiao. The fight I refer to is Naseem Hamed vs Marco Antonio Barrera. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I remember discussing Hamed with a friend shortly before that bout and saying the \u201cPrince\u201d would be beaten by a list of fighters starting with Barrera. I don\u2019t mean to waste time on discussing <a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?p=49632 \" rel=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?p=49632 \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-49636 size-full\" style=\"margin-right: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/NH.jpg\" alt=\"NH\" width=\"232\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a>that fight or what happened afterward but Hamed was taught a lesson by a man who had been around the block. There was a list of fighters who would have taken Hamed but I will give him credit for having the balls to face Marco Antonio. I can\u2019t say the same for Mayweather, JR. Floyd lost categorically to Castillo in their first bout so let\u2019s dispense with the bullshit of the 0 record. He avoided Margarito and retired for a year and a day rather than honor the 12 month rematch clause with Oscar De La Hoya. He has made a career of avoiding Pacquiao and, it would seem, that he is now avoiding Amir Khan on foot of the Bolton man\u2019s recent performance against Devon Alexander. I\u2019m not sure what to say about Mayweather, JR. Here is a man who would avoid any legitimate opponent but allows his fans to defend his honor. I\u2019m not sure that referring to objective fight fans as \u201cHaters\u201d constitutes constructive commentary but such is the defence of those who can\u2019t throw up an articulate argument in defense of their man.<\/p>\n<p>Following tense and protracted negotiations between TMT, Top Rank and the Abu Dhabi Group, the offer of $120 million has been retracted and the proposed bout looks dead in the water. Lets establish what this actually means\u2026Floyd wanted random drug testing not required by any professional body and Pacquiao agreed\u2026Floyd wanted a suitable TV deal and both HBO &amp; Showtime were willing to negotiate a similar deal to the Tyson vs Lewis bout, Floyd wanted a 2\/3 deal and the Abu Dhabi group were willing to offer that, $120 million to Floyd and $60 million to Pacquiao, a record amount\u2026all of Floyd\u2019s demands met\u2026and he simply refused to respond to the offer. Naseem Hamed has more respect in my books than Floyd\u2026.at least he put it on the line against the beaten contender. Floyd\u2019s legacy will involve a beating to Castillo, ducked fights with Margarito and Pacquiao and a retirement that lasted a year and a day rather than honor the 12 month rematch clause with Oscar. Floyd\u2026either put up or shut up..or retire\u2026but don\u2019t allow a decent career descend into such ridicule.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hello-Welcome-will-punished-your-ebook\/dp\/B00OV5LQSK\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1417199572&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=hello+welcome\"><span style=\"font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">Purchase your copy of \u201cBig Bill\u2019s\u201d Book: Hello Welcome<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newzbreaker.com\/newzbreaker-management-team\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/newzbreaker.com\/imagez\/nbad.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By \u201cBig\u201d Bill Bradshaw Let me paint a picture that may be familiar to you.
