News Flash 1) He does not care so why should you guys, 2)the thing he does care about is being the highest paid boxer ever, and as much as people think the pac fight will get him there it will not get him that much more than a rematch with Cotto, A fight with Alverez and pretty much any other fighter on a win streak or a big win going into the fight with him, I'm just stating the obvious he made 40 million dollars fighting fricking Victor Ortiz people think about that for 1 minute. please no hate responds, logistical just use logic
Roy Jones got away with never fighting fellow belt holder from Europe, guys name is to tough to remember, Floyd will get away with not fighting Pac (and vice versa)
It will If he doesn't fight Pac it will seriously look like he ducked him, despite what is really going on behind closed doors. Pac was the biggest threat to him in 2009 and the fight never happened. That would have easily been the biggest fight ever in terms of revenue and number of viewers, in the modern boxing era. I really do think that Pac would've beaten him in 2009 but from now on and in the future I doubt it. Pac is starting to slow down and boxing isn't the main focus in his life now. I think Pac will go down as the better fighter on the ATG list due his resume, despite the losses and controversies of the Bradley and Marquez fights. After DLH Floyd stopped fighting the very best competition and settled for easier fights with lesser opponents.
Dariusz Michalczewski wasn't a massive name never mind a cult icon like Pacquaio is. Legacy wise it will hurt Floyd more because Pac is a huge name.
True, not in America, since he always fought in Europe, and Jones always stayed in United States. If Michalczewski had come to vegas or Atlantic City to defend a few times, or had a fe bouts televised here, the same pressure on Pac and Mayweahter would have been on for them to fight. I wonder if fans in Europe recognize Michalczenski same way fans in America do Jones? As a fan I wish they would have fought, same as I wish Pac and Maywether had. I also wish Michalczenski had shortened his ****ing name. Pain in the ass typing it and checking spelling at same time.
How about asking this question...Will Pacquiao ever fight Floyd Mayweather? There are several fighters that people wanted Mayweather to fight yet none of those fighters ever wanted to nor expressed any desire to fight Floyd Mayweather. However, there are a ton of fighters begging for a chance to fight Manny Pacquiao (Guzman, Raheem, Campbell, Berto, Alexander, Judah). Yet Pacquiao's resume is filled with fighting the same fighters over and over again (Morales 2X, JMM 4x) or fighters that never asked nor expressed any desire to fight Pacquiao (Clottey and Margarito). All of whom had no belt and nothing to offer in status...and if that wasn't enough, he tried to fight Cotto again...AT ANOTHER CATCHWEIGHT!!! C'mon *******s... [url] This content is protected [/url]
It would have put the icing on the cake to Roy's legacy at LHW that's for sure. I wished it would have happened too I have no doubt Roy would have won but it's just the fact that it didn't happen that will hurt him a bit. I'm not sure whether Dariusz is recognized in Germany the same way Roy is in America. You'd think so though, he was their main man for a long time & 48-2 is a great record!
