    If Pac wants to build a case as a top 10 ATG fighter, then for me he has to beat these guys at their weights. If he's after the cash, then whatever.

    So no body answers why is it ducking for floyd to not fight cotto when he will weight 149 and cotto around 160 but it would be the same weight difference for pac-cotto, pac would weight around 149 and cotto around 160 on fight night so people call fmj a ducker but for pac is ok being in the SAME scenario? I dont think none of them are ducking like I just said but I just want people to be fair and I am not a fmj fan, but its unfair to say this about him and saying for pac its ok... just be honest not a floyd hater and admit that the people who are wrong are those big "welters" who want to fight people below 150 in fight night...

    WOW....next someone is gonna say amir khan is ducking david haye....be serious the only reason he fought oscar at 147 was because he was shot and roach knew that....instead of fighting the best welters(like each other or paul w) cotto and especially mosley would rather fight a lightwieght

    Have you not been reading the postings here??? There are numerous posts that say it would not be ok for PAC to do that. Both are being called cherrypickers.

    Think about Mannys last 3 fights

    Oscar - Roach knew he couldnt do jack at that weight or he would never have taken it. What a Warrior

    Hatton - Roach knew he would beat him in 3. What a brave decision to take a fight Roach knew would be so easy

    Diaz - By far the weakest paper champ at LW. What a brave decision to pick him


    And now, they're only wanting these top guys if they have to fight severely handicapped. What brave, brave warriors


    Money seems to be Team Pacquiao's only concern. Fight the very easiest fights the very easiest way you can for the most money

    Business wise, great. Legacy wise, utter bull****



    Meanwhile, we have a little Mexican who's been going up out of HIS comfort zone, puting himself at a handicap, and knocking out the elites of a stacked division



    Yet many people still call Manny the P4P King :-(

    floyd went upto super welterweight 154 and beat oscar, why dont he cleared up at 154 instead cherry picking everyone at 147?

    I don't see a problem with it.If they want the fight make them come to him.

    Remember he didn't ask for these fights they did.

    At 147 Cotto and Mosley have a size and strength advantage .

    They already stated before Hoya that this was a one time catch weight for such a big fight let them fight each other in their own weight class.

    Same **** with Floyd come to 140 or be forced to fight real comp at welter or call Oscar out of retirement like he said he would in the Marquez press.
