    "Once again Bob Arum is Manny Pacquiao's boss and Floyd Mayweather is his own boss"

    Moments before Kenny asked him why doesn't he face the guy who won the Pacquiao-Marquez fight to which he responded: "Al Haymon and Leonard Elleby are my advisers and they done one hell of a job with Floyd Mayweather's career."

    Sounds like bosses to me. Floyd answers to others just like any other fighter which means certains fights are easier said than done.

    :-(

    If you think KT cherry picked, who should he have fought instead?

    Being too obsessed with the risk/reward factor and showing an unwillingness to get it on with the best men in your particular weight class.

    Dude,

    Are you defining what pbf is doing?! No Mosley, No Cotto, No margarito (prior to his boxing gloves issue), No paul williams when he was active at 147?!:D

    Considering that Pac represents the more lucrative fight and the biggest stage that the sport of boxing can offer, you would think "Money" Mayweather would oblige, no?

    Morales and JMM represented the bigger stages and the more lucrative fights. Surely you can understand this? John and Rahim would have been tough challenges to Pac but so were EM and JMM. It's not as though he ducked better opposition for the money. He fought against the best who also offered the best paydays. That has been the difference between Pac and Floyd to some extent.

    Dude,

    No cotto, No margarito prior to the gloves incident, No mosley, No paul williams when he was at 147lbs

    He will fight JMM

    NO OVER 140LBS experience
    Much shorter reach
    Smaller in height
    Older

    So WHAT DO YOU THINK is the advantage of JMM?! He's solely relying on his heart to win and skills.

    If you don't call that CHERRY picking? what do you call the absence of the four legit 147lbs in his resume?

    So your saying that either Mosley, Cotto, or Margo would have paid Floyd more then Oscar and hatton??? Because its funny you mention that. Once again you excuse what Pac did then damn Floyd for doing the same thing..As I said the sad thing is that you dont even see the double standard:good

    simple as saying there were a lot of legit 147lbs before he retired and unretired to fight jmm who has no advantage over him
