    Article is not discussing pac in 09, its discussing current betting lines and op is claiming article has pac as a 3-1 favorite when in fact it has Floyd as 3-1, proving that your stupid claims "everyone knows pac beats Floyd" is all made up in your mind. Most still think Floyd beats pac according to CURRENT bet lines.

    Again about bet lines in 09, I won't take your word for it and really don't care. If I cared enough I would do my own research. The only reason why I even bother to talk about this, is just to point out how idiot a ******* can be to alter a article that any one can read.

    I love how some people talk as if there's an open offer hanging out there for him to take. There isn't one. After Pacquiao beats Algieri in dominant fashion, Bob Arum will again present him with a short list of potential opponents and once again the list will not include the name Mayweather. Count on it. :deal

    Floyd stepped up to 140 in May of 2004. Tszyu lost to Hatton in June of 2005. There was a year in which Floyd could have faced Tszyu before he lost to Hatton. As far as Margarito, he flat out ducked him and paid Arum to get out of his contract and faced Baldomir bragging that he made the same amount of money (8M) he was offered by Arum to fight the much more dangerous Margarito.

    Kosta injured his shoulder and didn't fight until late late 2004 in the rematch with Mitchell. He already had a fight signed that had been postponed due to injury. All this is beside the point though, because at the time Kosta was contracted to Showime and Mayweather bound to HBO.

    It wouldn't matter because there have been so few fighters faster than him. Judah was faster. And it was an advantage for a few rounds. Shane (even past prime) was fast. But, not as fast as Floyd. And he had success for 2 rounds. I'd say Manny, Khan, and Bradley are the fastest opponents in his weight class. I think Bradley would have the most success out of those 3 because of IQ and defense. Speed unless it is tremendous is not the key to beating, even a past prime version of, Floyd.

    If only this were true instead of being exactly the opposite.
    Floyd could be what he claims to be today if he'd followed those guidlines
    Instead he is regarded by the vast majority as being a cowardly ,woman beating, uncouth, lying worthless piece of crap. He just happened to have been blessed with incredible God Given boxing talent. What a shame HE wasted it on a loser like Floyd

    Floyd has IQ. WTF are you talking about? That's why he's so good at adapting.
