Several fighters said Pacman "ducked" them, Nobody accused Floyd of ducking!

    Pacquiao ducked the 135 pound division.

    He would have probably cleaned house, but he cherry picked David Diaz and left.

    Arum turned down the multifight deal with Mayweather that would have put him against Margarito & Cotto BEFORE the Baldomir fight was negotiated. Nice half-truth though. Very typical.

    In fact, Mayweather did not even want Baldomir until his deal with Top Rank went sour. His request to Arum: Margarito, Cotto, Hatton, & Oscar. Bob said no and people put the blame on Mayweather. So idiotic.

    I am aware of that bul**** excuse. As if Floyd couldn't win his fight, revisit the purse demands. Win another fight, revisit again with more leverage.

    For some reason, Floyd wanted a guarantee on FOUR FUTURE fights, something he hadn't done before OR AFTER. Explain that. OIR why it wasn't feasible to discuss the purse one fight at a time, like he had done before.

    Lol, Pac ducked no-one. Where the **** did Holt pop up from? Let me guess, because he's black Pac automatically ducked him.

    After MAB and Marquez, the best at 130, Pac skipped out on lightweight to go up two divisions to fight Oscar at welter and then Hatton, the lineal 140 champ. He also beat the guys fans wanted Floyd to face at welter and would've faced Floyd if not for Mayweather not wanting to fight.

    Just fighting in 5 divisions over 7 fights is impressive (who else has done that?), let alone winning titles and smashing everyone. What happened to fighters getting respect for daring to be great, win or lose? Or does that only apply if they lose, a la Oscar?

    Had Pac stayed in his comfort zone like JMM and beat the likes of Juan Diaz, Valero, Guzman, Katsisidis, Casamayor, Nate Campbell, Raheem it wouldn't left any mark on boxing history as they will all be fairly insignificant. He most probably would have got hate for not challenging himself.

    :lol: Funny thing is, you condemn this type of post when it's on Mayweather, but use it for Pac. Try some consistency.

    Did Pacquaio have a promoter pull the money off the table when he tried to line up opponents at 135 pounds? Nope. Did Pacquiao even TRY to fight anybody else at 135? Nope.

    Did Bob Arum pull the money off the table when Mayweather tried to line up opponents at 147? Yes.

    I am being very consistent. Bob Arum is the biggest reason why these fights are not happening.
     
  12. pacquaio will only fight you if ur coming off a loss or at a catchweight

    So you agree. He did not clean out the 135 pound division. Thank you.

    Concerning Mayweather, a few months before he fought Sharmba Mitchell, he called out Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto & Winky Wright.

    - Frank Warren said thanks but no thanks for Hatton now.

    - Bob Arum said Cotto wasn't ready yet.

    - But Winky Wright called Mayweather's bluff for a fight at 154lbs and Floyd backed out immediately. At that time in 2005, Winky was just coming off a very impressive win against Tito Trinidad and was a top 5 P4P I think..
