    This will be for 8 weight divisions. Foreman is 154 lbs. Arum promotes him,so no problems with that fight.

    Void will be fighting Malignaggi at 147 agree weight, but Void will come in higher.

    Pac will break another record for boxing history. Void will do nothing.

    Roach wants an 8th title for Pac. I say it's BS. Bradley is the best available challenge now.

    I get the historical significance, but I just cannot be motivated to see this fight.

    I agree that Bradley is the best fight out there right now for either guy but it would be a shame to see him lose his 0 this early in his career when it should be Floyd losing his instead.

    Where are all the people who are saying Floyd is under pressure to fight a big name?

    Are they going to hold Pac to that same standard???

    What a joke fight!

    Why doesn't he fight spinks or martinez?
    Granted Martinez is naturally much bigger, but come on.

    Im going to show my support for the sport and will definetely buy it.

    8 championships in 8 different divisions is a historical magnitude for the sport.

    Same reason they fought Cotto instead of Mosley. Better matchup for Pac.

    Yuri Foreman...has been picked to be the david diaz of the jr.mw division....He beat a fat out of shape santos to win his title....Diaz got a gift against a shot morales at 135...

    Okay, but had Mayweather chosen to fight Foreman, would it be a fight of historical magnitude then?

    I won't pay to watch Pac fight Foreman. I'll watch it on youtube though - it is historic and because the dude is always exciting. But I'd feel cheated if I paid to see it. Even if it's true that Floyd duck him and it's his fault Pac is deprived of the Mayweather fight, taking Foreman is not the answer. There are much better fights out there. Foreman is pure ass.

    :-(

    Meanwhile Bradley would gladly step in and fight mayweather or pac at the drop of a hat.
