    Wish we could take it back to the glory days where it was almost a given that the best would fight the best.

    With all the wars Pac has been in, he deserves a break.

    Diaz
    Hatton
    Oscar

    were all petty easy fights

    Cotto was rough for 4 rounds or so


    Pac has actually had it pretty easy inside the ring lately... so i dont buy the 'break' excuse. Ya, if the hatton fight was rough, then he went through hell with cotto, then i would understand hey give the guy a break, but again, his fights have been relatively easy outside the first 4 or so rounds with miguel. so at this stage of his career (tail end of his career, with him being prime) with him having superstar status, and there being such clear challengers, no this is not time for a break, just IMO.

    Spinks would be an easier fight than Foreman,the reason Foreman is being mentioned is cause hes promoted by Arum and would be an easy fight to make.

    Supposedly he's retiring after a few more fights...if that's the case, continue to serve the sport well while ur on top and while ur still fighting. Plus after the Mayweather/Pac fight hype WHY THE **** throw salt to the wounds of boxing and fight the weakest fights out there?!

    Another possible fight w/ a JrWW at WW....with all the fightsers at 147, this just continues to make Floyd look bad. and chicken **** to face a WW. Pathetic.

    Pacquiao is the only one who deserves a gimme. That said, I see Foreman being a much tougher fight then people realize. He may not have the credential of Paulie, but he presents a tougher challenge to Pac then Paulie does to Floyd. No surprise Pac looks at a bigger guy while Floyd, once again, looks at a weight class below.
