    so would you blame pac for accepting oscar's offer back then? if you have a chance, would you pass-up on the chance to earn your first 8-digit fight? and back then most people think oscar would **** pac up and this is a crazy fight for pac to accept.

    I don't get you. You agree that PAC deserved it but if Floyd beats PAC this decade, you will start to doubt your very own opinion?

    We're in a new decade. PAC got the previous decade and nothing in this decade can change that.

    No not at all, but he should have given Marquez a shot, even after the DLH fight where he still could make 135. Fact is he ducked him because he knew it was to high of a risk.

    No not me, I will not doubt it. I meant fans will, experts will, newspapers will, everything will start doubting it.

    so answer me then, who is the naturally smaller fighter? pac who started his pro career at flyweight and bantamweight or floyd who started pro at 130? and pac could still make 140 right now, can floyd make at least 144 pounds?

    Pac started his prof career at age 16, when Floyd was 16 he weighed just as much as Pacquiao. Skills will win this fight, and not size. That means the winner would have won, regardless on what weight it would have been.

    3 years ago, 2 years ago and even now pac is expected to lose to the naturally bigger and more skillfull floyd. floyd also has the style's advantage. floyd will be the betting favorite once they fight.

    Floyd will be the favourite no doubt about it, but its not because of the size but because of the skills.

    so can you answer now my question if floyd could still make 140 or 144 pounds now? if am not arguing about floyd's credit if he win this, i'm just arguing that pac is the naturally smaller man.

    There is no question about Floyd being bigger, thats not what Im saying. But dont come here and tell me that size will win the fight, cause it wont. Skills will win it, size dont mean **** when two fighters with their styles meet.

    but you know who was next after oscar right? it was hatton and this was demanded heavily way back then and is a much bigger fight than marquez3. please don't assume just because a 3rd fight never happened, he just ducked him. what can you say to floyd who never fought cotto back in 2008 and just retired?
