    Being that they have all fought in the middleweight and welterweight division in their careers, I don't see anything wrong with him doing so. It's a fight that would generate serious figures, so why not attempt and try to challenge them?

    Sergio said he could do 150.

    It'd just bad business not to. I appreciate class and the nice guy approach, but they were simply going to continue ignoring him. They still may, but a change in approach was necessary.

    Even if Pac or Floyd never take the fight with him, the more he can associate his name with theirs, the better it is for his own name value.

    he was just fighting at 154 and said he would fight either one of them at 154. if neither of them will fight him at that weight when they have each won a title their, then he has every right to criticize them.

    Froch, Bute, and Ward don't have the P4P status of Pac/Floyd. If SM going to be #1 he must beat these two. Sergio can make 154lb that's accessible to both money and pac.

    If I were Sergio I'd be going after Margarito with a vengence. Margarito always use to talk so much **** about how he was the most feared man in the sport. Sergio definitely has a score to settle with him. And if Margarito tries to avoid, Serg should be doggin' his ass out in the media. Its all about making noise and getting people talking.

    And I can't blame him for calling out Floyd and Manny. It will never happen but you can't blame the guy for trying.

    Basically yes. Both guys hasn't much to prove at 147 anymore but I think Pac is too small for him. Floyd isn't even a big underdog in my opinion.

    neither is ducking there is no logical reason to fight him. Its different weight classes and he brings no money to the table. Why isn't he talking about going up in weight?

    No, he isn't. He's not prepared to do himself, what he's asking Manny and Floyd to do.
