    true, Clottey, Margarito and now Mosley :-( Then they want Bradley next, which I guess out of the last 3, he's done the most to deserve a fight

    Just fight Marquez. He can beat Marquez at this stage of his career, but he has to carefully play his cards to protect his illusion to the general public. The media will begin to doubt him if Marquez troubles him.

    What do you think will happen if pac decides to fight marquez at 147 (thats the weight if it happens) and beats him easy Leon? A lot of people will still hate and say marquez didnt belong there. There is a article at the scene that says koncz said manny vacates the wbc belt at 154 and will not fight above 147 anymore. Any choice at this point except a floyd fight will lead to a lot of critisizing for several reasons.

    If you look at it... FMJ ONLY fights the best or attempts to. Lesser matches don't matter as he won't get credit for them. Baldomir was the lineal champ and everyone says he was ducking Margarito, who lost to Williams.

    Who is the "best" opponent? Pacroid. All he asked for was for Manny to take the SAME tests as him and the fight is on. What did Manny do? Proceed to sell 3 horrible lopsided fights on the back of Mayweather not wanting to fight. Right.

    I think all fight fans hate Mayweather going on vacation. I do too. Problem is, if he isn't going on vacation (Sam Peter voice) Who Nex?!?

    emmanuel is going to get criticized if he fights anyone who isn't that little black kid from Nevada. vice versa for the little black kid from nevada.

    I like the Marquez fight due to all the drama behind it. It's like the true gauge other than the black kid from Nevada to see if emmanuel has really improved. The history and Mexican pride will sell the fight. The general public is currently all over emmanuel's nuts, they'll jump onto this fight after finding out Marquez is the kid who gave emmanuel hell twice.

    Khan, Bradley - Right so you guys can say he "pulled them up from 140"? Khan maybe. Bradley? He couldn't cut off the ring and mount an offense against Alexander. Mayweather would make him look like an amateur.

    Cotto - Please. He is damaged goods and any Boxing fan knows it. No elite fighter beating Cotto is a feat post Margacheato. Clottey beat him.

    Berto - No Boxing fan gives him more than 2 rounds and it would be a HORRIBLY boring match watching him get beaten to the punch all night.

    Martinez - Please clown. First, he is too big. Second, if he was a viable target for a 147 pounder, why in the hell is Pac not fighting him since he is a 154 pound "champ"?

    Stop, stop, and just stop.

    His comment was on Floyd being avoided below 140. He wasn't. The fact that he beat most of the guys at 130 kind of prove he wasn't avoided. Besides, I was watching boxing and Floyd at the time. Avoided? Heck no. I pay attention, that's my proof. If you want a link to some stupid article, be my guest and do a search.

    THAT is what my post was about. Not some generalization like you are doing. But if you agree with bballchump on floyd being avoided, explain please. :deal

    :lol: Holy ****....always using Floyd's own words. :patsch

    BTW...the roadblock for Tszyu vs. Floyd was each guy competing on opposite networks. You would know that if you were into boxing at he time. You obviously weren't.

    Tszyu was with Showtime I know, so I guess I don't have to worry about hearing you ever accuse him of that duck :good

    I wouldn't bet on it. Lance searches through all forum's that mention Floyd's name in his quest to hate. At least you tried to post some evidence to back up your statement. Where's yours at Lance?

    Now I wonder what will these guys make of Pacroid jumping ship to Showtime and now creating the EXACT same scenario now endangering the fight? :think

    i think hes looking to do that with his next 2 fights hopefully. 1st guerrero then alvarez. if he does that according to plan, he'll be all right in my book. nobody would give a shite then about him not fighting pac, obviously only the haters would
