    Just go back to Oscar's career I think he at one point fought lik 5 times a year ..Then fast forward to today and look at the participants of the super 6 ..There is no excuse for any prize fighter to be fighting once a year ,none !

    where did I say that? You asked why he fights once a year & I answered. He's a semi retired boxer. I don't care about p4p rankings

    Pac fights twice a year with almost the same PPV numbers as Floyd. does this mean Floyd needs a year to hype his fight?

    Pac gets screwed on his taxes too, and he gets more damage done to his body, and it takes more off his career...these older fighters need to learn how to preserve themselves more...Pac is too old to be going thru back to back wars...running his body like a machine...Ur not a 18 yr old defensive fighter who never takes punishment....dude is 33 yr old brawler....I forsee brain damage in his future!

    I have a hardtime to believe that the man who calls himself money, and has said plenty of times recently that "belts only collects dust" cares about the p4p rankings.

    Its subjective. I have Pacquiao above Mayweather; Mayweather just does not fight often enough.

    it seems like you prefer a seldom punished ******ed boxer than an often body damage boxer

    Coz it better for floyd that people talk about him and say how good he is rather than Prove it against pacquiao , cotto ,margarito etc. These are all guys that would been a good wins for floyd. You cant say there was never a time, as most boxers do at least 2-3 fights a year.

    So that he can take tune ups. If you dont fight often, you need tuneup to remove ring rust.

    Yeah, and amazingly, his tuneups give other p4p fighters life and death fights.
