    Not saying he's ducking but would rather fight someone else as of right now. Let's be honest here PBF is a hard style match up for Pac with guys like Cotto being better match ups. Not too mention time is on there side PBF isn't getting any younger.

    The truth always looks like hate to a nuthugger like yourself.:deal

    You're gonna deny that the average age of Floyd's opponents since the Gatti fight was about 32-33:hi:

    What about Pac's? He's fought older guys as well. It works both ways.

    Yes Pac has been doing a bit of Cherry-picking lately but he's still taking greater challenges/risks then Floyd.

    pac probably wants to stay active after his very short fight w/ hatton. Oct. 17 will already be more than 5 months after his fight w/ hatton. fighting in late nov. or dec. will be too much of a long layoff for a very active fighter like pac.

    Why is he ducking? They can fight in December or some time late 09. Usually mega fights are around that time even the UFC megafights.Plus this can build up the fight even more.

    Pac is looking at a fight with Cotto/Mosley, both fights would be a war and would push Pac over the edge. Pac has been in so many wars because of his style whereas PBF has barely been touched...if anything, time is not on Pac's side and if a fight with either Mosley/Cotto occurs on october, that would speed the time up even more. People has been saying Pac was past prime physically for about 3 years now...

    PBF is a bad style matchup, and I believe Pac is a bad style matchup for PBF. How will PBF deal with a powerful, speedy southpaw who can keep up the pressure for 12 rounds? Wait a minute...what troubles Floyd the most...pressure, output(castillo/hatton), speed, southpaw(Judah)...Pac is the combination of both. Sure PBF will trouble Pac like hell because of his countering skills but its even money IMO...BIG EVEN money for both.

    Floyd said he wants Pac or Mosley next after Marquez. But, it doesn't seem like Roach is too enthusiastic in facing Floyd right now.

    too long a layoff for pac especially after a very short fight w/ hatton. the fight can happen around Feb-March, next year and that will probably be pac's last fight and then he retires to enter phil. politics.

    LOL...JMM vs PBF = Floyd ducking PAC. He could have easily have waited one day to see the winner of Hatton/PAC to start negoitiations with the winner.

    Not that I believe PAC or Floyd are ducking one anther.....but if the case had to be made Floyd would be the one who would be considered "DUCKING" the other man based on his actions.

    roach did say the same thing too in reaction to that hasty press conference done one day before the pac-hatton fight. as a result, roach also said that they won't waste their time waiting for pbf and will look at other options in the meantime. and those options include cotto and mosley.
