    Arum wouldn't allow it so he had to wait for Cotto to leave.

    They agreed to fight in '09 :patsch

    No only one meeting of contracts was ever discussed. The rest was just crap talk through media.

    Haymon didn't allow it and they fought in different weightclasses.

    :patsch Pacquiao would have lit up castillo .

    Morales and barerra are both easily superiro to castillo. Make a poll and see who agree with you.

    You still haven't provide an explanation how Barrera and Morales were better fighter than Castillo.

    Again fool, reading comprehension. When was Floyd TRYING TO MAKE A FIGHT WITH COTTO POST OSCAR (not 2012). When ? Name it? Provide evidence.

    How do you know what Arum wouldnt allow if Floyd never even attempted to make the fight.

    Ya they agreed in late 09, after Floyd decided to fight a lightweight instead Mosley who was available and calling him out at the time.


    Oh so your saying Floyd decided to duck and ignore pac for years after that first meeting even though though everyone was calling for that fight to be made?

    And there were plenty of meetings and discussions between both camps and plenty of evidence to support it. Floyd's camp was even caught in a lie at one time by HBO's Ross Greenburg.

    Oh they were in different weight classes? So Pacquiao was ducking him at 154 but Floyd wasn't? :rofl


    They weren't in different weight classes from 2005-2008 when Floyd was an active WW.

    Lol.

    You mean like how he lit up a battle scared Morales in their first fight? You mean like how he lit up a *39* year old JMM last December?

    You need to stop smoking the Crack.

    Pacquaio is easily the most protected prize fighter of the last 25 years.

    Say what you will about the easy touches Roy Jones jr padded his record with, at the very least he fought a young Hopkins who would go on to absolutely DOMINATE 160 for 10 years, a prime James Toney, then move up and collect a belt @ HW.

    Roy Jones >>>>>>> Manny Pacquiao

    Superior my ass. Castillo is two size naturally bigger than Morales and Morales. You think Castillo is a dumb fighter? Which area doesn't Castillo have Barrera and Morales out gunned?

    Both Morales and Barrera are not defensive wizards, and they do not run. So are they going to outslug Castillo? I don't think so.

    Floyd fighting Cotto when he finally left TR is Post-Oscar you ****ing fool.

    He fought him right after when everyone said he was scared of Shane so who cares?

    Pac still wanted cutoffs even after Floyd and Mosley did them with none at all so there was no point in discussing.

    Who the hell was Williams in 2005-2006 :rofl :rofl

    Floyd was active in 2008 was he?

    they're less plodding and more versatile, for starters. and of course greater fighters, as you seem to be tacitly acknowledging

    What you're not getting is that Morales was past it when Pac finally beat him. A past-it Morales actually beat up Pac.
