    Just to hasten your damaged brain . . . it's quite different when fighters negotiate for the best or biggest money fight they can get compared to "NO NEGOTIATION" because the fighter decided to go on vacation. :deal

    Here we go again. This isn't about floyd jack ass it about pac.

    Call a spade a spade. Pac has done the same thing, and get's a pass, roach even admits it.:deal

    This is why us fans won't get to see marquez v pac III, has little to do with marquez being golden boy, they made the hatton and oscar fight.

    The truth is the risk ain't worth the reward.:deal

    If Pac fought opponents without going up a division you may have a case. But Pac has been fighting the top dogs of those divisions while moving up and gave them the beating of their life. Its really different if you were the one asking opponents to move up divisions to fight you and then cheat on the scales while paying the penalty. Pac moved up, beat opponents 15-20lbs bigger and made them look punching bags. I assure you, they wont look ike punching bags facing an opponent not named Pac.

    Bull**** about one night stand.

    The biggest fight that could happen when mayweather went up to 154 was De la Hoya, you cant get no bigger than that.

    When pac went up to 154, their was no stars accept cotto who he already beat, but martinez had been calling his ass out to fight, pac pretended he didn't hear and instead fought margocheato to win a vacated belt.

    Martinez is still calling pac to fight at 154, pac is saying he to big. Get the **** out of here, you mean he to skilled.

    You're a revisionist moron, is my point. And a horribly biased one at that.

    At the time, Oscar was a huge risk.

    At the time, Hatton was a huge risk.

    It's only after the fight that everyone starts changing their collective tune.

    How is a fighter with one fight at 135lbs going up to 147lbs to fight a fighter who fought out the majority of his career at 147 and 154 not a huge risk?! Of course it was, that's EIGHTEEN out of TWENTY experts polled by The Ring magazine picked Oscar to crush Pac. :patsch:patsch:patsch

    And Hatton at the time was undefeated at his natural, best weight of 140 and was coming off one of the most dominant and impressive wins of his career, becoming the first man to stop Malignaggi. Many people thought Hatton would be too strong at his natural weight.


    And FYI, right now a third Marquez fight wouldn't even be a big risk. When that fight happens, you will see why, and THEN you can start making threads about how Marquez was cherrypicked!!!

    What a turd.

    pac is saying that 150 is his limit and if martinez can make it, he will fight him. there's nothing wrong if a fighter thinks this is his maximum weight that he is effective.

    so what about floyd saying he could fight the winner of williams-martinez. would floyd actually fight the winner which is martinez or would we see another ducking pattern like he did pac?

    How is it the one night stand bull****? Floyd has fought 3 times since he fought at 154 and all 3 times were in the welterweight division and its quite clear that 154 isnt in Pacquiao's sights neither.

    Margo didnt call out ****. It was an easy fight to make since it was under the same banner and Pacquiao vs. any Mexican will always sell to the mainstream.

    Pac and Floyd are ducking Martinez like Martinez is ducking Lucian Bute.

    Hatton was a huge risk, get the **** out of here :rofl

    But wait when floyd fought an undefeated hatton at 147 he was cherry picking?

    Yet hatton has been known for having trouble cutting weight and coming in heavier than floyd in previous bouts. LMAO

    Its easy to say Hatton wasnt a huge risk after the fact. But before it was widely considered 50/50. That would be like saying Mayweather/Corrales wasnt a huge risk to Floyd.

    I've NEVER said that Floyd fighting Hatton was cherrypicking. NEVER. I don't consider that cherrypicking at all. Why do you think I said that when I've never said it, turd??

    Hatton was a huge risk at the time. He had a new trainer who many believed had improved him and given him new confidence, he'd never been beaten at his natural, best, most comfortable fighting weight, he was the reigning Ring champion and undisputed division #1, and he was coming off an excellent performance and win.

    Of course that fight was a huge risk. You're a revisionist ****** if you now think differently. :nut
