    You're Absolutely Right.

    I am a Pacquiao fan... and happen to think that he is one of boxing's treasures that has been thrown up against larger fighters for nothing but Bob's pocketbook- and has extra resultant wear and tear due to that.

    (This doesn't mean I think he beats Floyd or anyone else. It does mean I believe he has added a great deal to the sport's entertainment value during his time in the public eye and should be appreciated while he's still around.)

    No one should want to throw smaller fighters up against appreciably larger opponents. That's part of what's wrong with the sport (at times) and has resulted in unacceptable damage and death on occasion.

    GGG has said he wants to fight in his division before considering moving up. Is he a chicken sh*t now?

    Let's have Ward fight Klitchko and Wilder on the same night, topped off by Leo Santa Cruz wrestling a bear.

    Get real.

    How about Pacquiao is a WW; a small WW who was fighting at 130 not too long ago. Golovkin is a natural MW. Complete size mismatch.

    Pacquiao fought Margarito, who was at the time of the fight 165 lbs.

    Margarito isn't a natural MW though and he was on the downside of career. Even still, that fight took a tremendous physical toll on Pacquiao. I doubt Pacquiao will ever fight above 147 again. I think he'll also stick to fighting guys closer to his size as well.

    far be it from me to call out the elephant in the room, but what happened to pacman's KO power after Floyd called him out, and what was with pac's shift in drug testing after marquez sparked him cold in the fourth attempt?

    How in the hell was he able to gain 44lbs from being a light flyweight--107lbs. to a murderous welterweight puncher at 150 lbs.
    Wait, I think I know
    This guy is definitely invented and manufactured :deal

    Maybe. An interesting suggestion to say the least.

    Exactly. Especially guys that can't break an egg. It's all about marketing ---- making people believe that Dog**** is Icecream.

    A good fantasy match, but stupid if you think it actually has a chance of being made. Both pac & Floyd are maxed at ww. Sure they both fought at 154, but none have ever came in at full 154lb and both are always out weighed by 15-20 lbs. To say either is chicken because they won't go to 160 or at a catch weight north of 154 is stupid.
