    he will deserve to be consider one of the best from his generation, but needs to be remembered that he didnt fight the best from his generation from 2003 -to present. However he fought some of the biggest "names" and thats all average joes will remember.

    he will get far more credit than he deserves....because in 20 years they will simply be looking at stats with names

    Oscar De la Hoya
    Sugar Shane Mosley
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Ricky Hatton
    Arturo Gatti
    Zab Judah

    stat book wont say that DLH and Gatti had been beaten alot and recently and in fights right after his...then they retire because they realized how shot they were. the fact that shane was almost 39 years old and sat on a huge win for amost 15 months and hasnt won a fight since then. JMM was a great pound for pound fighter at 126 pounds not to mention 37 years old.
    Judah got his title fight vs Floyd by losing a lopsided fight to a guy with 9 losses l Hatton was a proven super lightweight that had no business at welterweight where floyd was champion...hatton had 2 fights at welter..one was loss to floyd and the other everyone thought he lost to collazo
    great talent but alot of smoke and mirrors too

    Yeah! And I heard the next demands are that Manny can only train on Wednesdays, only do roadwork between 430 and 6am, and Manny has to sing Sometimes When We Touch between rounds! Although these claims are completely unfounded, I KNOW that's what Floyd is thinking. He's scared! You just watch!

    Mayweather should have those rich chinese filipinos test Pac. The same guys who said you're too filipino to be in the country club.

    From Dan Rafael Today

    So will we see the fight if they both win?

    Top Rank's Bob Arum, who promotes Pacquiao (and promoted Mayweather for most of his career before an ugly falling out), told me the other day that he sees no reason why it can't happen next.

    "Manny has taken the position that he would agree to unlimited testing," Arum said. "It is a non-f------ issue."

    But the question of which agency would handle the testing might be. Mayweather currently uses the United States Anti-Doping Agency to handle testing for his fights. He has been randomly tested -- and required his opponents, such as Ortiz and Shane Mosley, to also be randomly tested -- for his recent bouts.

    Arum said he and Pacquiao have no issue with USADA testing but maintain that any testing "should be done under the overall umbrella of the state commission" where the proposed fight would take place.

    There has been some talk from the Mayweather camp about wanting Pacquiao to train exclusively in the United States so he could be under USADA's jurisdiction. However, Pacquiao lives in the Philippines (where he serves in that country's congress) and usually spends the first half of his training camp there before relocating for the second part of his camp, to trainer Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, Calif.

    Arum said the World Anti-Doping Agency, essentially the umbrella agency over USADA, would have to handle Pacquiao's testing in the Philippines.

    "The testing would have to be done by WADA, which means when Manny trains in the Philippines, whoever they use in Asia to do the testing would do it," Arum said. "When Manny is training in the United States, they would use USADA. WADA gets the agency to supervise the testing in the Philippines. But the point is, it all has to be done under the overall authority of the boxing commission wherever you have the fight."

    Even though Pacquiao is now apparently willing to do the unlimited random testing, Arum still wasn't convinced the fight would happen.

    "I'm not optimistic," Arum said. "I think Mayweather will look for a way not to do the fight. I smell the initial drum beat of 'You're not allowed to train in the Philippines' because of [who oversees] the testing. Once Mayweather says that, he can go f--- himself. Then it becomes a major political issue when he says Manny can't train in his home country. Besides, nobody would subject themselves to that type of restriction."

    Here we go again?
