    Now I hate Dan Ravioli, but the man's got a point.

    Even a Mosley fight would be better than these two

    On the surface level it makes sense but knowing Bob and knowing he's about money at the end of the day shoots down this theory. Floyd and PAC offer Bob 2 times the amount of money anyone else can offer him even if he shares the promotion with anther outfit. Dan did well with pushing his opinion but failed to offer a full spectrum view of the actual situation at hand.

    its funny how now all of a sudden Clottey is less known than Williams, Berto, and Bradley, but then Pac sold 700K PPV buys against Clottey noone gave a ****.

    Either way, Clottey is Arum's client. Williams, Bradley, and Berto are not.

    to fight Pac you either have to a be a major name, a top rank fighter, or both.

    lemme go ahead and say the reverse is true for floyd, he hasn't fought anyone outside of GBP since Baldobum.

    lemme go ahead and say, this is true.

    Regardless of who Pac fights next, void is still void.

    It's real easy folks. Don't buy any Top Rank or Mayweather PPV's until they fight or stop complaining.

    Clottey makes the Berto, Williams, Bradley trio look as famous as LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh

    -----


    I've never heard of Dwayne Wade or Chris Bosh so that kind of puts that argument to bed a bit.

    After the headache he's had in negotiating with Floyd, I can't blame Arum to just go for the easy fights to make. A chance to win an 8th title is also good for Pac's legacy than fighting the other 3 boxers mentioned in the article.

    Clottey was then, this is now ... people need to get over that...

    when the Mayweather fight fell threw the first time, there wasn't any available opponents really.. Clottey was a top guy at 147, and a difficult opponent... Clottey had never been an easy fight for anyone... so they took it.

    Just because Clottey fought scared due to PAcquaio's non-stop assault, don't knock Pacquiao for that

    Now let's see who Pacquiao ducks for his next fight.

    Will he fight another in house fight or give the fans the fights they want to see?

    Now let's see who FLoyd fights next after his ducking from Pac. Hmmmm...

    Donaire is the #4 P4P guy.

    Rematch with Hatton or a fight with Matthew Hatton is big because a country is behind them... A COUNTRY!

    Montiel did an awesome job at destroying his recent opponent.

    Damn... fighters 135 and bellow are looking pretty damn good for Floyd!
