If Pac is fighting Floyd's "leftovers", I guess Floyd has fought nothing but....

    Leftovers as well.

    Mosley - leftovers from Forrest, Cotto, and Winky

    JMM - Leftovers from Pac.

    Hatton- Good win for Floyd, but in the opinion of many, beaten by Collazo. Therefore leftovers from Collazo

    Oscar - Leftovers from Shane and Hopkins.

    Judah - Leftovers from Kosta and Baldomir.


    Now I dont buy into this whole "leftovers" talk. I'm just going by Floyd's standards. If he wants to talk about "leftovers", he has to look at his own list of "leftovers". Also, its a big difference between outboxing/outpointing your opponent, and completely ruining them. Floyd outboxes his opponents. Pacquiao beats them down!

    Floyd Mayweather Jr 2006
    “Who has Margarito beaten to deserve a shot at me? Once he beat two or three big names then we’ll fight.”

    Floyd Mayweather Jr 2006 (on his fight a year ago with Henry Bruseles)
    “I mean, the fight with Henry Bruseles – somebody had to give him a chance. You know, everybody gives, I mean, how will we ever know how good a person is till you give them a chance? Somebody had to give him that chance. So I gave him that chance.”

    yep thats why its a bull**** argument, I do get tired of pac fighting a old guy like mosley or old marquez at 147, Id rather have a young guy like bradley or ortiz next.

    here's what floyd thinks about his fight with shane:

    "The biggest fight in Shane's career that he pushed himself to the limit for was me. That was his pinnacle.. "

    everything else he says is rendered irrelevant because of this.

    Who Pac needs to fight is Floyd. According to Floyd though, he says he's not thinking about boxing, then in the same interview he says Pac has to take the test. Now if you're not thinking about boxing, what does it matter if Pac takes the test or not? Had Floyd came out and say that he's ready to take the fight and all Pac has to do is take the test, then the ball would be in Pac's court. Too bad Floyd isnt thinking about boxing right now.

    Floyd is afraid of Torrecampo's leftovers?

    You missing the point:

    Hatton- Fought Hattons fight and won, not only that embarrassed him, even though it was a great showing by Hatton at 147, he was very strong at this weight and had no idea why he chose to move back down 140. Any Mayweather gave him the ass whipping of his life, most boxers don't recover from that. Hence the quick knock downs in the first round vs Manny, and also I think the cut back down to 140 affected his punch resistence. I don't want to hear that 140 was Hatton's best weight he clearly out grew that division, and probably should have been 154 with the he was putting on weight in between fights.

    Oscar- He beat Oscar more convincingly than anyone else had did up to that point, if we exclude the dive that that he took against Hopkins. He fought Oscar at his best weight at the time, boxed the **** out of him, and even buckled him on a few occasions, something Manny wasn't able to do even though he battered Oscar and gave him everything he had.

    Mosley- Was one of his best wins, he flipped the script and turned back the hands of time to his 135 days, and dominated Shane who in his last fight dominated the guy they said Mayweather was running from. And also the guy who team pacquioa clearly ducked. He beat Shane more convincingly than even Forrest. Since the Mayweather fight Shane's speech hasn't been right since.

    JMM: A Pac leftover, Mayweather won more rounds against Marquez than Manny did in 2 fights, the JMM fight should be a gauge to the different level that Mayweather is on than Pac.

    I think you're missing the point if you're going by that logic.

    Pac fans can say the same thing about DLH and Hatton.
    Pac made DLH quit and won more rounds against him, where Floyd won a close split decision. Pac almost sent Hatton to the grave in a couple of rounds, where Floyd had a very competitive fight with Hatton in the first 6 or so rounds.

    Also could it also be that JMM took so many knockdowns from Pac that most boxers don't recover from that therefore Floyd capatilized off of that? And Floyd made JMM go up a few weight classes where he himself missed the agreed upon weight, therefore had a significant size advantage.

    LOL... I like Floyd, but brah... he knocked hatton out in the 9th with a check hook. He didn't annihilate hatton, he outboxed him and put on a superb defensive performance. DLH, he won a split decision. DLH, quit in the 9th against Pac. I think it was Hatton's headfirst style vs Manny that led to the quick knockout, not repercussions from the mayweather fight.

    Jesus **** I wish people would stop dissecting people's wins just because that other person had been beaten before. They didn't do this **** in the 80s when a loss turned you into a ****ing bum, it's too bad we gotta do that **** now.
