    Lucas "The Hype Machine" lost, Floyd beat Canelo, Sergio is old and falling apart and no one really believes in Danny Garcia.

    So really, how can you possibly fault Floyd for whoever he chooses next? Ward makes no sense, nor does GGG. Mentioning their names is nonsense. GGG hasn't earned it for one thing. Floyd is the best in the business in and out of the ring when it comes to boxing. Hasn't always been great for the fans, but if you were him... would you care?

    No but just don't confuse the fact he doesn't have any worthy opponents with him being the best ever, like many tend to do. Pac's probably still the best option.

    Its funny how the Canelo fight has seemed to renew some interest in the Pacquiao fight.

    How is the current Pac, who is cherry picking a guy who lost, a step up? Seems like two steps back to me. Just because Pac is popular, a la Canelo, doesn't make him a step up.

    Even current condition Pac is the only guy who might give him something to think about... otherwise Floyd outboxes EVERYONE. Unless you want to go full ****** and mention him fighting 160lb fighters... lol wtf.

    Guerrero and Ortiz were lame opponents, Canelo was ok but still a predictable outcome time for Pac or just retire. Garcia, Alexander, Khan are no match.

    Nobody else would get in the ring with him, Bradley and Marquez didn't want anymore. Props to Rios for stepping up. I just wish Floyd had the heart of Rios

    :lol:

    It was more a case of them telling Pac "we don't need you".

    When a boxer turns down a 10 million payday to earn a fraction of it instead, it's called running :lol:

    What do you call it when a boxer turns down a $40 mill payday to do the same?

    That would actually constitute a current step down from his last few opponents.

    The Pacquiao of Bradley and Marquez IV?

    Yeah...that Pacman isn't better than Canelo or Ghost or even present day Cotto (whom Roach himself said he wouldn't like to see Pacquiao rematch, even were they not stablemates now)

    I know but the haters think this is a 50/50 fight.
