    Yeah well that was a decent win but I wasn't all that excited about it because he didn't look great like the old days. It told me that still had something in the tank and thats why I was hopeful that he could get back to the top and possible topple Mayweather.

    Still a fan but EXTREMELY disappointed! I am not interested in JMM5, Bradley3, Alvardo, Prov, or Vargas. I think the talk of him moving down to 140 is probably because of the lack of depth Arum has and just as bad as staying with TR. the talk of him moving to 160 is just that . . . talk. I buy 99% of all the big fights (i say that because I was sick for Bradley2 and didnt have the energy to stay up) and I really have a hard time thinking of a fight that I would buy of his under top rank . . . very pissed!!!

    Pac being with Arum has nothing to do with Floyd not fighting Pac. He just sees Pac as a chance to lose his 0 that is the foundation of his millions. Im not saying he's afraid or that he'd even lose, I'm just saying he doesn't want to take the chance.

    Being a free agent takes a lot of work. We don't even know that as a non-American and not based in the US, being a free agent may not be in Pac's best interest as a part-time fighter and politician. Bottom line is not one of us here knows the details of his signing with TR. It may be the best option considering everything else.

    Arum obviously has something hanging over Pacquiao. Whether that be debt, information, or something else... who knows.

    The better fights are there for Manny if he left Top Rank. Now we get more recycled fights. Great. We can have a 5th Marquez fight, a 3rd Bradley fight, and might as well bring up Morales for a 4th bout while we're at it......

    Show me evidence of Pre-Cold War Mayweather not wanting to fight Pacquiao? If Mayweather weren't serious about fighting Manny in 2009 then why did he agree to the glove size, ring size, and unsanctioned weight penalty? Hell, Mayweather usually doesn't even ENTER negotiations for fights he doesn't want. Yall not making sense, you want to get a guy off the hook for ducking drug testing, simple as that. Had Manny demanded drug testing and Floyd made a big deal out of it, Floyd would be crucified. Floy agree to the weight penalty but Manny was being difficult about the drug testing. The funny thing is, they both would have taken the same damn randomized drug testing. One guy was willing, the other was scared of the tests and made excuses simple as that. Mayweather didnt start talking **** about not wanting to deal with Arum until after negotiations fell apart. Floyd was there to be fought in 2009. Manny's team was so scared of not knowing what was in Ariza's special blends that they ducked a 40 million fight and decided to sue for defamation of character instead. I have never seen a boxer go to court more willingly and eagerly than take a test and step in the ring with his opponent.

    Most non-cult members (who are fans of Pacs and the sport) realize that Bob cannot produce any more meaningful fights. Very few people want to see anything outside of JMM5 and even that fight I really, really do not care for. Hell he could have went as a free agent . . . not to many people care about a floyd fight but considering that 90% of the best fighters deal with GBP and they will not deal with Arum (not to mention Haymon will not deal with Arum and he has an interest of about 90% of fighters as well) . . . its just a bad bad move!!!
