    Jesus christ.... Lets put it simply for this guy.

    Ortiz has just beat the best WW outside of Manny and Floyd... so what that means is that, basically, Manny has a fight booked so Floyd has essentially taken on the best WW available... How terrible that Floyd is.

    Tell me... what was you saying when Floyd was scheduled to fight JMM?

    I'm a massive fan of both FMJ and Pac but some of you pac fans are so easy to dislike

    Beating one of the best guys in the division for the first time in your career, generally gets you a good fight.

    Berto is as good as anything Manny has beaten at 147

    exactly. A fighter doesn't magically become different from one performance to the next. The only thing that changes is how much hype that fighter is generating. How good he is in the ring pretty much stays the same.

    He's a lot closer to his prime than

    Morales 1,2,3

    Barrera 2

    Hatton

    Margarito

    Cotto

    De laHoya

    Marquez

    Mosely

    as in, Manny's entire career basically

    My argument is that Ortiz beat the best contender at 147,pretty easily, so is next in line for a shot at the top guy in the division

    In taking on the challenge, Mayweather has decided that he is the top guy

    Manny has been taking on old names for so long, you guys forget what boxing is about

    Boxers fight the best available guys in their diviisions

    They don't chase 38 year olds, as they fought a hall of famer in 1998

    All this "deserving fights" that *******s come out with

    The best, fight the best divisional challengers

    Claiming the best guys in the division don't deserve it is just *******s way of justifying cherrfy picking

    How can you say this seriously.

    Almost everyone Manny has fought in 3 years has been coming off a vicious loss to someone else

    And you're criitcising Mayweather for taking guys at good times!?

    funny, when I said that Ortiz wasn't a good challenge to Pac, I was a *******. Now I'm saying Ortiz isn't a good challenge to Floyd, I'm a *******.

    It's a decent fight, but I guess that says quite a bit about the state of the WW division right now (and Floyd's inactivity).

    what I'm saying is that I look beyond just 1 or 2 fights, unlike most casual fans.
