    wow, this ***** is now trying to pin the blame to floyd's opponents that floyd is fighting them late in his career never mind the fact that floyd did not want them in their primes.

    floyd took a vacation in 2008 and said cotto was not a draw. floyd did the same against pac and still doesn't want to fight him until pac is still dangerous for his health. we all know margarito's story. he is taking cotto at 154 but not martinez.

    heh yeah right. Cotto(e) has to be the least vocal elite fighter even more so than emmanuel. How the hell do you duck someone who doesn't even know who he wants to fight? bob arum used to tell him what to do.

    don't worry. your emmanuel will get it at the end like Oscar, Mosley, and soon Cotto(e) when his abilities have diminished due to age. I can't control what emmanuel chose to do. He could have fought him 2 years ago after beating Cotto(e). None the less it'll give you a legit excuse to stop following boxing after emmanuel loses to Floyd

    floyd can actually do it now but he still think's pacquiao is still a little dangerous for his liking.

    I can when you give me the list of prime fighters that actually tried to risk thier primes against an undefeated living boxing Icon.

    And you can also give me the list of fighters that Pac has fought recently in thier primes, that WASNT promoted by Top Rank.

    yeah, I'm sure he saw Pac-JMM 3, and wet his pants by how devastating he looked against an older, slower, fatter opponent, whom Floyd humiliated 2 years prior. :lol:

    You don't think Floyd has shown a bit of reluctance towards fighting Pacquiao?

    No, he's tried to fight him twice now. If Pac wasn't too busy being a slave to Arum, we might have seen it twice by now.

    yeah floyd was so eager to fight pac that he said that he would not be forced unto a fight with him. that his health is more important and rejected a fair 50/50 split.

    emmanuel wants to cash out a little 1st by fighting guys like Bradley, Rioz, etc. It's understandable given his recent troubles outside of the ring. His selection of opponents just show how desperate he is now. It's like watching a rat struggling to find food for its stomach to properly hibernate, hoping it cane survive the winter.

    Pac: "I'm willing to take less money than Floyd to make the fight"

    2 weeks later

    Pac: "50-50 or no fight"!
