    leave it turbo. what you dont realise is the fact pac took on bigger guys than floyd in comparison to floyd being taller and bigger and weighing more than pac. okay. maybe sergio is to big for floyd, but the back than margarito who challenged floyd, floyd should have accepted. the prime pacquiao who wanted floyd, floyd should have accepted and not make 10000 excuses and demands on how the fight has to take plan. canelo who is now peak, floyd should have took on that one and guerrero, you kiddin me. I cant take some of you guys seriously, because you're so one sided. I can give both credit floyd and pac and I can say negativ about both, but most of you guys can't do that. it is either floyd sucks or pac sucks. for a guy that small pac took on a hell of great opponents, legendary, one of the greatest resumes ever by far, 8 divisions, so many big names. a taller, bigger floyd could have done the same, but did he fight tszyu when tszyu was king? come on, both were like 5-8 pounds difference, had he wanna take the challenge floyd couldve taken it. later prime margarito, than pacquiao around 2010. ortiz was young and fresh, big puncher, credit for floyd taken this one, same credit for taking on cotto, but **** floyd for missing so many big names. do you believe that, the guy is

    and talks about devon alexander or guerrerp as possible opponents instead of pac, canelo, trout.....WTF its like ward talking about adonis stevenson and jermain taylor nstead of kessler and froch.

    This doesn't even include PPV, I'm guessing. So after all is said and done.. thats a bigger chunk of change he has ever made.

    Ward was actually about to fight Pavlik until he got injured so....

    But I'm still not getting what you're saying? Pac has had some decent welterweight fights at 147, awesome. Floyd has had some decent junior middleweight fights at 154

    For a guy who is too small at junior middle, but an inch and a bit taller than Pacquiao, it seems he is doing what you're asking of him since he'll most likely fight Canelo next and already fought Cotto and Oscar at a weight he shouldn't be at.

    as we talk right now he is obviously not doing what I or others would expect of him. and thats take on bigger guys, who are not old, but fresh and strong, example the margarito from past who challenged floyd in vegas. what i also expect from a p4p top 1-2 boxer like floyd is taking on the next best boxer or the best opposition around and that is since a long manny. therefore, you he does not do what all the fans and media expect from him.

    but credit if he fights dangerous and big canelo, props to him, if he does it.

    Guerrero will be bigger than Floyd the night they fight, too.

    In theory, this should give Floyd the proper incentive to take riskier fights.

I am not sure, what does your memory say, last time I remember you said something like :"yeah chempa, you totaly convinced me, I was wrong and you're right." and I said:" okay we just leave it as that." :lol::D

    Why do you doubt that? Guerrero was bigger against Berto than at any point in Floyd's career on fight night.

    Feared? You mean the one who lost to a green Paul Williams? Lost to Daniel Santos, barely beat an injured Clottey, then got absolutely destroyed by an old Mosley. :lol::rofl:lol:

    if so props. yet guerrero's limited skills wont pose much problems to floyd. okay, guerrero has a great workrate, but ultimatly he should not be the highest challenge around. guerrreo is no cash bringer, meaning floyd can fight any name and make $. so why just than not fight the biggest names? and guerrero surely aint one of them. surely guerrero good, but why not make a deal with canelo, trout? because they pose bigger challenges than a guy without with not muich power and only workrate and a solid jab. the reason is just floyd does not wanna take the best challenges. has been this kind of way since a long time. he always took on good guys, no doubt, but best name available :lol: prime tszyu, prime pac, prime margarito, prime williams, prime cotto.....
