    Why after his come back he is not fighting the only fighter who
    remains strong, and with whom he would make his biggest purse, Manny Pac ?

    It's simple. The undefeated record is something he can't live without. He's too proud to accept a defeat.. No way he'll fight PAC unless pac is 40yo

    But nobody comes into a fight trying to lose. The thing is anything can happen in boxing. If his undefeated record was something he can't live without then he would have retired and never come back because anybody can be beat on any given night.

    Before he fought Mosely EVERYONE was calling for him to fight him, 'Floyds ducking mosely, floyds ducking mosely' 'did you see the way he knocked out magarito' 'theres no way Floyd will fight him'

    There were THREADS on here made saying Floyd was not gonna accept the fight because Mosely was the strongest at WW and would KO him, the same people slating him for it now were back then talking all the **** in the world about him being scared

    Then Floyd fights him, schools him atrociously

    'ohh, Moselys too old, he was a cherry pick, blah blah blah'

    p4p_kid maybe you should ask why Pac chooses to fight Oscar, Hatton, Shane after Floyd beats them. and why he wanted a catch weight against cotto and margo, and tries on shane and clottey???

    Same with Cotto, despite Cotto at the time turning down a fight, never making any advances to fight Mayweather and then CONFIRMING just a few months ago, that he didn't want the fight and wasn't ready, people still insist Floyd ducked him

    Then Floyd moves up to 154 and beats him (which Pac wouldn't do) when Cotto looked genuinely rejuvenated, and still there's complaints

    I know right. Floyd tried to fight Cotto at 140 but both Arum and Cotto admitted that he was not ready and too green still but Floyd haters flip that on Floyd. Str8 Trolls.
