    The problem most have with fraud is that he should've fought Cotto,Margo,Mosley and maybe Williams by now,had that happened nobody would be complaining about him fighting JMM and Pac.

    Pac may not be a big WW, but he's shown he's a pretty damn good one.

    I think Floyd's "retirement" was a ***** move and hope that in a historical legacy sense it is held against him - a "great" fighter would have thought living in a division that strong was a legacy blessing. He left after he milked the cash cows.

    But I always said I'd give him credit when he stepped up and this is a step up fight. If Floyd handles him easily, then that's a credit to Floyd. Another retirement would be another ***** move, but you can't sweep a Pac win under the rug.

    It's funny that Floyd gets criticized for fighting a smaller guy in JMM yet nobody criticized Hatton, Dlh or Diaz when they fought Pac. Why?

    What the ww's have done, Floyd did at 130. Floyd is looking for a super fight, period. If you can't see this, you're probably *******.

    So you are saying DLH was not under heavy criticism when he fought Pac?

    Anyway, I want this fight, I am just telling it how I see it. A stylistical approach that Floyd warmly welcomes, he rather fight Pac than any other 147lbs'er, and I am sure of that.

    Plenty of people criticized DLH for fighting Pac. DLH only took the fight because he thought it was an easy win. Boy was he shocked. But not as bad as Floyd's gonna be shocked - after he comes to...

    Floyd is hoping that someday in history, in 10-20 years people will say he beat up Marquez who gave Pac trouble in their two fights. He will be great on paper BUT too bad there's boxing forums since the Media can be so biased most of the time even though most of the writers don't even know jack **** about boxing. He will be remembered as someone who ducked the elite fighters of his era and fought smaller fighters above 135. Pac is the only small fighter FLoyd is hoping he won't have to fight.

    DLH took ****, you know it. After DLH, Pac was legitimized at the weight - Hatton would take **** for ducking him (especially at his natural weight).

    Floyd was ducked by the self-proclaimed best fighter in history at 130?

    You clearly have an agenda. If Floyd fought Cotto right now he would get crucified for going after the guy Manny just beat to hell.

    Floyd vs. Manny is historic.

    Of course Manny is a lesser boxer than Floyd, Floyd is the best boxer in the world. Try again.

    I do think that Floyd will beat Pacquiao by SD. Will be very interesting to see what he does next tho. Depending on if/how he beats pac, i'm predicting a rematch, maybe a trilogy. One thing i'm sure of though, Mayweather will absolutely not KO pac. Instead, if he feels he can, he'll take the fight by the closest decision he can to leave the door wide open for a rematch. A rematch will once again generate more money than it would if he fought any other fighter, and it'd hardly look bad on his record to have multiple wins over pac...

    Now im not some kind of Floyd fanboy, infact I 100% want pacquiao to win, and pac certainly does have a chance, but 100% of that will come down to devising and executing a meticulous fight plan, and I think we'll have to see new things from Pac in order for him to have any chance of overcoming Mayweather. It's down to Roach to find the flaws or "habits" of Mayweather, and to implement them into the perfect strategy which takes advantage of them.

    Listen, Pacquiao beat the HELL out of Cotto. Suggesting that Floyd should fight Cotto instead suggests that you either don't know what you're talking about, or you just dislike Floyd to the point that you're clutching at straws to discredit him.

    Floyd vs. Cotto made sense a couple of years ago.
    Floyd vs. Mosley has made sense for a long, long time.

    Thats just the case, Manny is a fighter, not necessarily a boxer. And his ability to turn this into a fight is less than that Mosley has.
    Mosley can make Floyd fight, Pacquiao will not be able to make him fight, Pac will be outboxed, simple as.

    OBVIOUSLY. Hence he is actually fighting him.
