    That also but you forget Pac already had the Cotto fight he was due to fight again but Mosley then fought PBF and they fought in May.

    But I clearly remember Pac going number 1 after he beat Cotto.

    All I can say is this.

    About the whole Mayweather thing and how he picks and picks his opponents well.

    When the people have wanted him to fight who THEY think has the best chance of beating him he choose different opponents.

    That is the truth.
    We wanted PBF vs Mosley back at Lightweight it didnt happen.
    We wanted PBF vs Tszyu at 140 it never happened.
    We wanted PBF vs Margarito at 147 it never happened.
    We wanted PBF vs Pacquiao at 147 it never happened.
    We wanted PBF vs Forrest at 154 it never happened.

    They were all the guys that we thought had the best chance and when and none not one happened.

    FACT.

    I have the Ring magazine to prove it they had not signed to fight by December 2009 had they well in that Month Pac was NUMBER 1 at 147 just after the Cotto fight and if I recall the Mosley vs PBF fight was not signed until Late Jan 2010.:deal so he was number 2 by then.

    But as i put the only real number 1 was 154 Cotto but he was a former shell of himself.

    The fight was signed way before that. How does Pac beating the #3 ww make him #1 :patsch

    - especially when former #1 ww mosley sparks #1 ww Margarito? Please justify this.

    that makes no sense whatsoever.

    He fought early in November the Issue came out here in Australia just before christmas and it has Pacquiao Number 1 and No they had not signed by December because IM certain a person that looked a lot like Mosley was interviewed at the end of the PAC vs Cotto fight and he was chasing Pac or Mayweather then but still did not have a fight or had signed anything as of Jan 2010 it was signed as after they still were talks the Pac vs PBF could happen until it broke down in December so PBF choose Mosley. Im just giving you the facts brother plus I feel like I said how many fights other than the ones he gave us did you want to see.

    Imagine if PBF fought Dela Hoya 2 years earlier than he did he would of lost is my feeling he picks his opponents very well and were he has all the control and if I recall like I said if he fought just one of those fights the fans wanted it was to much risk thats why they never happened.

    No I don't believe it, I've seen rankings with Floyd #1 for instance after beating Marquez.

    So can you justify my question?

    Because of of RISK and its who the fans thought had the best chance to give Floyd a 0. So he gave you and picked easier options.

    Management plays a part but if he really wanted them to happen Floyd could have. Remember he manages himself so he tells everyone so that means he has more control than other fighters over who he fights.

    I can tell you not since Floys was at 130 has he Risked it more than what he does now.

    Compare it to Pacman and its very different.
    He gives the fans fights that they want to see **** he even gave Marquez 4 shots even though we and Pac's camp knows he struggles with Marquez's style more than any other fighter.

    He fought Barrera when we wanted it he fought Morales when we wanted it he fought Marquez when we wanted it.
    Same with Cotto (As PBF was retired)
    He fought Hatton at his 140 weight
    He took the Dela Hoya fight when he was a 3-1 Underdog. (Although I agree Oscar didnt look right)

    Tell me who here wanted the Baldomir fight or even the Marquez farce or the big one Judah when Judah got beat.

    He didnt go number 1 after that Farce as Marquez was 2 weight divisions lighter and he went number #2 though.

    I gave the breakdown of the Rankings with my collection of Ring Magazines dickhead.

    I just told them what it was and they wont ****ing believe me.

    Like I said Pacquiao went number 1 over Mosley after the Cotto fight yet everyone wont believe it but it happened its in the Ring Magazine. for Dec 2009.

    And Mosley and PBF still had not signed the fight as Pac and PBF were in talks and Mosley went to the Cotto fight and got interviewed saying he would fight either Pac or PBF and the actual Mosley vs PBF fight was not official until Jan 2010 thats what Im telling these idiots and still wont believe me. Yet I was here on this website and remember.

    Floyd tried to fight Mosley at lightweight, but Mosley decided to move up and take on Oscar
    Floyd wanted Kostya Tzyu http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=379241
    Floyd decided to take on Baldomir for a lineal title and an Oscar fight instead of Margarito
    The Pacquiao fight is just all kinds of phucked up
    :lol: Forrest as never a viable fight for Floyd.
