    We're talking about Pacquiao/Mayweather. These trivial debates are pointless. I don't give a ****. Fans want Pac/Floyd.

    based on what i've seen, cotto has a shaky chin. that's what worries me more about this fight. skillwise, cotto is better than clottey

    hmm says... No... Pac does not "NEED" to fight PBF. Even though this will be one of the most anticipated fights in boxing history, just imagine if PBF never came out of retirement....(remember how so many people here were saying "just stay retired").... Pac could've just went straight to JMM (probably won't see a third match anymore cause of PBF) or any of the dangerous WW or whomever to still go down further on the ATG list. Realistically he doesn't need PBF, even though Roach said Pac can retire if he beats PBF. It's more of us boxing fans "WANTING". If all, PBF probably needs this more. All this talk of "ducking" and being "scared" is stupid talk on ESB when we already know it's just problem with the numbers (money) and lineup/scheduling... We've seen it before but we have ****tards that still see it that way; this week is "cherrypicking, ducking, scared" week.

    PBF needs it. He can't call it a day when his resume is full of guys who were on life support.

    Haha, wassup mang? Im just chillen nowadays, dont get me wrong im still around, I still come on ESB, i just dont engage too often, im off of work now, and been drinking a few cold ones...Feel like just kicking it so im chatting, but im still around, and still a huge boxing fan, as you can see...

    Hopefully my yanks will come thru, i dunno, i guess management has just been throwing money at guys to come in and be superstars (thats not how we won in the late 90's), but im a yankees fan since birth so im here thru thick and thin.

    Holla at me mang, peace brah...:thumbsup

    Youre right bro, im just saying, Pac is p4p #1 right now. Hes on top, floyd hasnt fought in almost two years, from my own mouth i have said that Floyd was too big for Pac and Floyd would easily beat Pac. That was 2 years ago, Pac is @ that point right now, that point when a great fighter reaches his peak, I just dont see anyone beating Pac, even at the higher weights, i just think that moving up was something that he had to do cause his body just couldnt take it anymore, kinda like Oscar, kinda like Floyd, its just his time right now, and Pac is making money without Floyd, so why does PAc have to cater to Floyd? He doesnt. Floyd should be chasing Pac, not the other way around, thats what i meant. But i agree we are the ones that lose if we dont see two of not only the best fighters in our generation fight but best fighters in history fight.

    So you have another criteria for type of fighters to fight. Do you impose that to all boxers? What's next? Pac should a type of fighter who fight sidewards or backing up all the time. You're absurd w/ these double/triple standards. :deal

    I actually like Pac to fight Floyd. He's an overhyped fighter like Hatton. He runs but he was exposed by Judah that he could not do this all time. Judah had the handspeed and footwork to land telling punches against Floyd. He however does not have the stamina to finish him. Pac is now complete. He has added more arsenals is his game. He can fight Floyd w/ both hands blazing. More importantly, he is a great finisher and the killer's instinct to devour his prey.

    Let this fight happen.

    NO. Floyd needs more Pac than Pac does. Pac will fight the fighter that Floyd ducked(Cotto, Mosley)...will you call that ducking?
