    Has Pacquiao Put Floyd In Deeper Water Than He Wants To Be ?

    I believe this is true. PPL said Mosley was his toughest fight when it was made.
    He was under pressure to come up with a competitive fight and this is the case once again.

    He probably would have fought Paul Spadafora but with Pac around there would have been outrage.

    Pacquiao is definitely in his head and this could be an interesting side story as Floyd has never had to deal with a tough fight plus the pressure of his toughest test ever waiting for him almost demanded by the fans.

    His reflexes are not what they used to be. I am aware how skilled he is and how far above class wise he is over Ortiz but I wonder how this is all going to play out.

    For the sport itself I would love to see Floyd decisively beat Ortiz and face Pac in the FOTC.

    Floyd has been fighting people coming off impressive wins startings from Baldomir. Fighting Ortiz is simply just Floyd being Floyd.

    Floyd is the one in emmanuel's head. emmaneul always wanna fight whoever Floyd beat first in attempt to outdo Floyd. It's like a child trying to compete wit his father.

    Ortiz has very little chance of victory here.

    I can give him a pass on Oscar. Only people who turn down Oscar are people who aren't sure of themselves like Winky Wright. A case can be made for Hatton too, the man of the division at the time.

    The Mosley one was the bad apple that exposed their entire operation. He blatantly bows his head to Shane 2 years ago by saying you're too good. It's not until AFTER Floyd schools Shane that emmanuel is interested.

    It can work in his favor as well. Just have to admit either way it is an interesting sub plot. I believe it effects Floyd more than Manny only because Pacquiao is fighting more often and staying busier outside the ring.

    bobby hyped him as much as he can, he should be proud to have pac where he is now. naive people bought it. i will be surprise if he ever faces mayweather. arum wants to make him the best of all time by weight draining them and fighting past it fighters. thing is pac doesnt face top fighters any more. he faces guys he can beat. he cant beat floyd, that is a fact. he will continue to make excuses to not face floyd.
