    Financially Pac needs it more. Legacy wise they both need it.

    Floyd has great wins over corrales, hatton, judah (which is an underated win Judah was young and up for this fight), mosley

    but pac took on 3 legends multiple times coming out way ahead and then executed de la, hatton, cotto, and margo in row...didnt look as spectacular against mosley but did pretty much dominate and knock him down which is something considering it was floyd who almost got knocked down when he fought mosley...

    Shane nearly had Floyd out of there within SIX MINUTES. Say what you will, But that was the closest that Floyd has come to being knocked out in YEARS. And it WAS a hell of punch.

    Thing is though, Floyd isn't fighting Cotto until Saturday when he SHOULD of faced him in 2007-8. Pac beat the **** out of Cotto a while back.

    It took Floyd TEN ROUNDS to beat Hatton. Pac ended his career in two rounds.

    Floyd didn't want to know about Margarito. Pac left him looking like he had been robbed by four guys wielding baseball bats.

    Floyd "Retired" after the Hatton fight thinking that nobody would come up and take his place... Manny came right along and started busting everybody up.

    It's alright bringing up "The Test" but Floyd N-E-V-E-R asked ANY fighter for a test before, right? Manny comes along and ends careers, whips fighters who Floyd didn't want a piece of, and NOW he ask's for a test?

    We all know that if Manny gave in to every demand that Floyd would make, Floyd would still find a way out of it.

    I am a big fan of both fighters, but that's the reality of it.

    Floyd @ WW = Excuses, each and every time.

    Expect Floyd to face Paulie next...

    pac has proven himself way before and has achived much more with comparable lesser talent and skills than floyd. meanwhile with floyd's skills and talent, he could have achieved much more and he needs pac to do it.

    achieved more against who??? Damn near every guy he beat from 130-154 was the top guy or at least top 3

    Manny's best wins are over past prime guys...Barrera, Morales, and Marquez(who he never has clearly beat) after moving up past 130 he beat Diaz one of the owrst title holders in recent memory...and everyone past lightweight was 1-3 fights removed from a bad loss...come on man, the only live guy he has a win against he arguably lost to mARquez....Mayweather kayoed Hatton first and didnt look good after that loss....Cotto got blitzed by Margo...DLH got busted up by Forbes and lost at his natural weight to Mayweather, he beat Oscar at a weight he hadnt fought at in 7 tears plus....Margo got kod by Mosley...and Clottey was a nobody....its not only who you beat but when you beat em...Mayweather beats guys coming off career defining wins

    3 past prime legends he struggled with...Morales had already lost to Raheem at lightweight and looked sluggish let alone going back down for a rematch with Manny after the wars he had with Barrera....the Mosley Mayweather beat was coming of a career defining win...whereas as he was coming off a loss and a draw when Manny fought him...notice a pattern...when was the last time Manny fought someone coming off a big career win

    Does the drama at the conclusion of the Ortiz fight add more current hype to floyd then he really deserved from that performance?

    Floyd fought a LIGHTWEIGHT in JMM. He made him jump up TWO weight classes.

    He made Hatton jump up a class.

    Ducked Margarito/Cotto/Williams.

    Victor who?

    Shane was legit, but Shane nearly wiped him out within six minutes.

    Decides to face Cotto 4-5 years AFTER he should of really faced him.

    We can all break down records, ya know! ;-)
