    Pacquiao needs a tune up fight before facing Floyd.

    Taking away from it by feeding him these made to order fights. Pac is also putting a question mark on his own legacy by running from tests.

    8 weight Classes Champion & 4 lineal championships. That's 2 records that will be there for hundred of years. Pac's resume's secured!!

    Ruining? God no. His place in the top 20-10 is pretty solid.

    I would say he is stalling it however. With dominant victories over jmm, cotto, dzindzuruk, martinez he could move up to next level.

    Wins over berto, bundrage, bradley wouldn't enhance his legacy more than a win over shane, they would be tougher however.

    It seems to me that just like floyd, pac has reached a level he is content with, and is now looking at money.

    Terribly disappointing. Hopefully our next p4p star will continually push themselves unlike our last 2.

    Pac's legacy is set, whoever he fights 147 below, being really a JWW, are easy fights for him and will not add anything legacy wise. The only legacy fight remaining is floyd.

    pacs legacy is set already, he will be remamberd like ali, like jordan to casual fans HOWEVER real fans of the sport will remamber that bob arum used him more as a name then as a athlete,. what I mean is he put him in meaningless fights to help expand his resume and name out, clottey, margarito and now mosley? comon no one even mentiones margarito and pacs name until arum put them together complete bull ****,.. thats how i see it

    Pac's every fight were tested and all come out negative.

    Just for the sake of arguments, based on your analogy,
    This content is protected
    fighters then have question mark on their legacies.

    The last time pac. took even a slight chance was against Cotto. But freddy figured Miguel was shellshocked from the Margarito beating. the last guy he fought with a winning record was Juan Manuel Marquez. Face it .team pac. blame Floyd for not making the fight. listen to Floyd or any member of his team or Golden Boy ,and they will tell you, if manny would take the tests the fight would happen. It,s easier to fight Floyd;s leftovers. Two years ago team pa would'nt fight Shane Mosley ! Now that he looks past it .'' Big Fight!'' You want to be the best? Fight the best!!!!!

    freddy roach is also helping bobb arum ruin pac's legacy. Pick fighters on the down slide, coming off of losse. Then do'nt take any chances and drain them down to some stupid catchweight. pac fans will eat it up. The true fight fan sees through it. Can;t believe how much the media eats it up as well. Refusing testing also tarnishes things a bit. The fear of needles is laughable. Team pac and bob arum are doing a pretty good job of ruining his legacy if you call it that !

    Arum is Pac's promoter. He is doing a very good job at it. Remember that Arum was Floyd's promoter. Pac is doing what Mayweather didn't do when he was with arum. Fight the very best while moving up in weight.
