    I would let bob arum answer that question and we all know which way he would go on that one. Bottom line here is pacquiao will fight who bob arum tell him to fight and in this case i highly doubt it is berto.

    I am sure you are talking of gayweather there! That is the nodus operandi of gayweather. Last two fights were all against more than 36 years old.

    He has DLH on his resume but what does that mean really? Most considered DLH pretty close to the end of his career and physical peak.
    You can get all those names on your resume but it still doesn't mean **** if they are close to being done when you fight them.

    Alot of times these so called fighters calling out pacquiao are not at his level in terms of name and drawing power as well as credible opposition. Why should pacquiao lower himself to their level and fight them for a couple million dollars when he could fight for tens of millions when fighting mosley or marquez. This fighters calling him out want that big payday with out having established themselves as elite fighters, do they have millions of ppv sales? Most likely not.

    Well considering all the choices have a legit chance to beat Pac (PBF and JMM) it is not quite the same as taking the Baldomir fight is it?

    He can take on Cotto, Margo, one of the 140er, 154er, etc. You can't leapfrog others just because you have a 27 and 0 record vs unknowns.

    So you rather have berto than have de lahoya on resume, that does not sound like a smart decision at all.

    when they fought FLoyd
    Mosley coming off KO of Granite chin Margo
    Marquez coming of KO of Diaz
    Hatton coming off KO of Castillo
    Oscar coming off of KO of Mayorga
    Baldomir coming off of KO of Auturo Gatti

    I didn't even notice that, how does Manny compete with that

    I'm not talking about Floyd. Look at 6:56 when they talk about Mosley

    By this theory you might as well not fight anybody good because they aren't close to your drawing power. Marquez is established and drew over a million buys with Floyd, but Pac is still questioning his Marketability. :patsch If PAc is such a big draw, why is he so worried about his opponents drawing abilities?

    another articla about how they ducked Yuri Foreman because he was too tall

    http://www.examiner.com/fight-sport...disadvantage-it-s-miguel-cotto-or-bust-at-154
    "I don't think Manny would fight Yuri Foreman because he says Yuri is too tall" Bob Arum, (by "he", Bob is talking about Manny)

    Also
    http://www.fightsportsonline.com/yuri-foreman-thinks-manny-pacquiao-is-scared-of-him
    In recent comments about his upcoming fight against Miguel Cotto, Yuri Foreman has strongly implied that he thinks Manny Pacquiao is scared of facing him.
