    Being a "**** fighter" isn't necessarily related to physical decline, but he's not a "**** fighter" and he's not physically shot...GTFOH.

    Team Pac won't let Pac fight Mayweather, so at least we won't have to hear excuses about why he lost. But all we're going to hear for years is "Floyd ducked Pac", "Floyd's scared of Pac" etc etc etc

    I think they are referring to ring age. Pac has been on more "wars" than Floyd has. Don't forget Pac has fought Morales, Marquez, and Barrera more than once and they have all been wars.

    You really just don't get it, do you?

    Pac is not a **** fighter. He's a great fighter.

    He's also an over-rated fighter, especially on this board (and many others) dominated by 80% irrational Pac fans.

    These fans claim he's a top 30, or even a top 20 ATG. That's laughable. And disrespectful at the same time.

    He's still in the top 50, making him an awesome fighter.

    Proof ?

    The reason there was a JMM 3 was that Pac/Floyd could not be made...because Floyd feared Pac.

    Pac just looks bad against Marquez in every fight

    That argument has now gone out the window, sorry.

    Team Pac ran from the first negotiations to fight Clottey. Floyd then fought the next best fight available.

    They also booked the Dallas stadium in Texas (where there's no drug testing) the second time. Obviously they didn't want the fight then, either.

    They've never wanted the fight. And the proof is in the pudding.

    BTW, I believe Manny would fight Floyd. He's just content to "leave it up to (his) promoter", who would never let this fight happen.

    Pacquiao didn't exactly look bad in the rematch. I thought both fighters came out of that fight elevated.

    Why the hell do people think pac looked bad? He was still fast and strong. He looked the same as he always does except he was fighting a pure boxer that refused to be a punching bag like clottey, cotto, and margarito(top rank fixed fights) he decided to fight marquez the counter puncher in a non fixed but rigged fight to prepair for mayweather but it backfired on him and him and his team realized that pac doesnt stand a chance against mayweather so they wanna fight marquez again and squeeze as much money out of him as possible then feed him to mayweather. Pacquiao is an overrated brawler and always has been

    I do hope that Mayweather thinks that he has successfully waited out Pacquiao's peak. Now he can be serious about getting a fight done with Pacquiao.

    Pacquiao, at no stage during his career was he ever capable of beating Floyd. To put Pacquiao on that kind of pedestal implies that they were equals. They were never equals. Hagler and Leonard are closer equals than Floyd and Pacquiao.

    You're a ****ing ****** troll always propping up Pacquiao because he beat inferior boxers to a pulp, but he never did that to pure boxers. You never keep it real which is why I **** on you every chance I get.

    Isnt Mayweather several years older? The conspiracy theories of *******s never cease to amaze. An older guy waiting for a younger to peak out. Maybe all those PEDs are starting to tear down the PED-mans body. He's becoming immune to the juice!
