    I'll be honest with you Bazooka, I also thought during the fight that he MIGHT be carrying him at some point looking how Marquez looked to be in trouble numerous times and I can't blame him. Marquez and Mayweather have a lot of respect for one another and have trained together many times as well. I'm not saying he DID but felt so, like many felt so during Jones/Calzaghe.

    You're just being over-emotional for some unknown reason, the man didn't insult your mother or wife so you would go berserk and call him a homosexual like that, that's cheap man.

    I never called you a homosexual nor did Pimp C call you a homosexual when you were here hosting countless threads about how "Mayweather has more losses than Margarito" or "Margarito making boxing stutter in his menacing presence, Guinness Book of Records approve"...etc

    Why attack UFC? Tripple threat orgy what's that?
    The champions of UFC fights 2-3 a year, much like a boxer does.

    Theres no bigger fight than what the people want, and thats either Shane or Pacquiao/Cotto winner. Both would please a whole lot of fans, it would also add to Floyds legacy and bank, believe that. If Mosley aint nuttin but someone who wants a pay day, then Floyd should give him that payday and whoop him, no?

    I think your attack on UFC was bang out of order. This has nothing to do with the UFC.

    Because 1- the timing is perfet. they (pac and floyd) need time to hea after fights about the same time.
    2- Shane is a lot of risk. he has a lot of losses on his resume and a loss to someone like that would both a)put in jeopardy the fight with pac ever happening and b)diminish the purse and buzz if the fight did come to pass.
    3-If pac gets to fight again then there is another chance he will take an opponent that will beat HIM and that could hurt the ultrafight with Money may!

    Boxing needs to make up its mind... do we want to find p4p #1 at ths moment or do we want to waste al of our talent's golden years on satisfying our own selfish agendas?

    People want to see Pacqiao beat Cotto to fight floyd. thats not good enough. because they want floyd to fight someone else and then Pacqiao . thats not good enough either because other people want to see floyd fight cotto. and others want to see Shane fight Floyd....

    Yeah- there are a lot of great boxers in 147 right now... in time, we may get to see a lot of them fight eachother... but right now we should focus on the top 2.... let Pac and Floyd have their day.... let BOXING have its day. The top two guys squaring off is exaactly what this sport needs. After Pacqiao, depending on demand, maybe we see what a fight with Shane is worth (not just in the sense of money). Let Shane fight the loser of Pac/Cotto... Maybe something can be proved from that? Again, not to sound like a broken record, but, let Pac and PBF settle arguably the most heated debate in boxing today: Who is the TRUE pound for pound king?

    On one hand I'd say why doesn't he make the fight right now anyways but not because he'll need something to do while he's waiting for Pac. More because with his boxing brain he should know that Pac is gonna get ****ed up. In which case the smart fights would be Mosely or Cotto. And seen as he already hate Arum he might as well just sign the fight with mosely cause thats whats gonna happen anyways.

    THe other thought runnign through my mind is that Frankley the more Floyd fights the more people will start to realize that pac has no hope of beating him and interest in that fight will drop amoung the general public.
