    gtf outa here, you were so butt hurt that you waited 4 days to come back to the forum in hopes the shitstorm vs arum and pac had died down only to find they painted themselves in a corner and now Marquez is telling them to **** themselves. it's actually hilarious

    Mayweather kept himself away. Scared of the asian midget who a 38 year old lightweight had more balls to fight.

    The only time Floyd was ever legitly scared was AFTER the Mosley fight.

    And to me he wasn't scared of Pac as much as he was of actually losing.

    FMJ will and would beat Pac at ANY weightclass at ANY time in their careers. Fact.

    When they eventually will fight the marketing hype will be met by reality.........it is going to be a ugly eye opener .

    So why didn't he fight him coming off a retirement? Oh..to prove a point that he beat the man that beat manny pacquiao?:twisted:

    Doesn't do anything for Floyd's legacy.

    Obviously, Pac has slowed down considerably since he knocked out Hatton.:deal

    Nope. He wanted to fight a Prime Pacquiao in march 2010 but they turned down the fight and everybody knows it. To be honest though I dont think they turned down the fight because of random drug testing, they turned it down because they knew Pacquiaos chances were very slim at beating Mayweather. Do you remember after the Cotto fight Roach said March might be to early because he needs more then 5 months to come up with a gameplan to beat Mayweather?? I'll never for get that so there werent planning on fighting Mayweather in March from the get go.

    When was a prime pac? When he was fighting flat footed no skill fighters? :lol:

    Or was a prime pac when he got a gift in the 2nd fight against marquez or was a prime pac when he got a gift in the 3rd fight against marquez? Which is it?:lol:

    Well TBH Cotto outpointed Mosley so there's that on skills.... unless you really believe getting his face mashed in by Marg somehow made him forget his skills.

    cotto outboxing mosley to a very close decision doesn't prove anything of the sort. Where was the same skills in the margo and clottey fight?

    Well Clottey's big ass head and Marg's bricks... but that's another discussion

    besides Marg's chin is solid you'll need a sledgehammer-like punch such as Mosley's to get his respect
