    Not when Haymon has control of the other fighter.

    So Floyd didn't fight Cotto and Margarito bc of Arum? When was he pursuing those fights post-Oscar?

    And you didn't explain why Floyd didnt fight Mosley in 07/08/09 ?


    No that's basically the run down of everything that happened. Floyd created every major roadblock and switched stances on all of them - testing / money. He killed the fight ,end of.


    So Floyd was pursuing a fight with Williams? Haymon is also Floyd's advisor. If he wanted to he could have made that fight and Williams would have loved to make that fight happen.

    What tune are they singing now since Pac was KTFO?
    Lol why does him and Pejevan continue to duck this place? I swear I was expecting to see them come in here banging the drum for the stepping on foot excuse but they disapeared.

    what's wrong with 150? Pac didn't wanna go beyond 147 at all, Cotto goaded him into offering 150 then changed his mind when offered

    I do not agree Barrera win outshined anything floyd has done. IMO Barrera was already getting written off by many after he was well beaten by junior jones and the brain surgery and what not.

    Floyd has fought more prime opponents than Pac. Corrales and Castillo were both tougher fights than Barrera due to them being bigger. And Castillo is every bit of the fighter as Morales and Barrera.

    I know people has been giving Pac a pass due to people view Pac as not very skilled and small guy moving up in weight. People will give the underdog their credit as oppose to Floyd who is always the Favorite. < that is the main reason i think.

    Now i'm not saying that Pac got a bad resume but people hype up margo and clottey too much. People were sold by their size and disregard that their lack of skills. Clottey got some skills but he doesn't have a good gas tank to throw much punches and Margo lacks the defense and speed. Pac's team know who he is good against. Remember it was a smaller guy who pac couldn't handle so his team did him a favor.

    Maybe you or one of the other *******s could tell us why your hero has *never* fought the #1 guy @ 147?

    He was never offered those bouts until Cotto finally left TR.

    the only time the fight could have happened and mattered was in 2010 and it was Team Pacquiao that walked from the fight. Pac then was outboxed horribly by a 38 yr old LW

    Haymon wanted to build Williams up a bit more before throwing him to Floyd which is why Williams was fighting washed up names like Wright

    lmao, and Darren Barker is better than all of Floyd's opponents since he's bigger. And Kayode kills all Sergio opponents including Barker.

    and no Castillo is nowhere near MAB or Morales, lol

    The Morales Pacquiao beat would have been eaten alive by Castillo.

    the hell you on about?

    Castillo is nowhere? I like to see how you explain why he isn't. Castillo is a smart fighter with a big punch and iron chin. What doesn't he have that Barrera and Morales have?

    That wasn't the question. When was Floyd pursuing Cotto post Oscar?

    Margarito?

    Shane in 07/08/09 when he was being called out?


    No that fight had plenty of opportunities to happen and Floyd kept switching stances, taking vacations, and eventually priced himself out of the fight.

    Again, when was Floyd trying to make a fight with Williams?

    In addtion to the above, JLC is a natural 135lb'er while Morales and Barrera are featherweights.

    I think Floyd's wins over...

    Corrales @ 130
    JLC x 2 @ 135
    Marquez @ 147
    Mosley @ 147
    de la Hoya @ 154

    ...trumps anything Pacquiao has done in his whole career.

    :deal

    People seem to forget that the Morales who Pacquiao beat was coming off of a LOSS to *Zahir Raheem*.

    In no way shape or form does the Barrera or Morales who Pacquiao defeated beat the JLC that Mayweather faced. Not gonna happen...
