    sure, but it led him to victory against Oscar, Hatton, and Cotto - and Marquez had four fights and an obsession to figure him out. Pac is weird early or he wouldn't have knocked down JMM three times in their first round together - it takes a while to get used to him, and Floyd is slow at figuring out some South Paws compared to his normal genius level ring iq where he shuts guys down immediately. He elected to brawl with Corley and never did figure out Reggie Sanders, though he was far superior to both fighters. I really want to see Floyd go through that instead of just assuming that he would.

    As I've always said, defensive Benitez beat Duran easily, Duran killed Davey Moore, and Moore turned around and easily dismissed Benitez the defensive master because he just hit too hard and got him out of there in 2. Styles will always make fights and I want to see Floyd in there with a guy who NEVER has to set up his shots to hurt you and can do it coming in and out ... ... ... BUT pac is old and getting older, and Floyd has way less wear and tear on him.

    He won't call him out. It all depends on what his promoter Bob Arum wants him to do

    Judah gave Floyd trouble early not because he was a southpaw or because of the speed.

    It was because of his ring IQ and counter punching ability. Which Pac lacks both of along with the fact that he was a southpaw with speed.

    Pac doesnt have the tools that Judah 05' has.

    Yeah that's why pac beat Oscar, cotto, clottey ... All just speed and ****** ring iq, huh? I have never seen a fighter accomplish so much and then heard that a chronic underachiever like Judah , who never knows what to do when the cards are against him and never beats elite competition, is superior in any way. Are you kidding me? Seriously? Pac is super elite compared to flawed Judah, who lost a decision to baldomir. How is that for ring iq? Baldomir is molasses

    Manny puts Rios to sleep. Mayweather will fight Khan. Audience will be unimpressed by the lackluster fight by Mayweather/Khan. PPV numbers will be low again. Mayweather will be forced to fight a more popular opponent. Mayweather fights Cotto. Mayweather wins again and coasts his way to retirement against B+ fighters other than Bradley. Mayweather wins the Bradley fight by decision before hanging up the gloves.

    Pacquiao hasnt put anyone to sleep since Hatton. Khan is lightyears better than Rios. Mayweather-Khan will do over a million easy. If Guerrero did 800k with Floyd, and no one outside of HARDCORE boxing circles knew who the fu-- he was. Then Mayweather-Khan will do very well. It'll do about 1.3-1.5 million. Which is still better than what Pacquiao-Bradley did, that f---ing flop.

    Thats just not Pac's way of going about things. He had plenty of times to all out Mayweather and never did. same typical answer of "I'll fight who my promoters wants me to" and never called out Mayweather.

    Time has changed, hes found more into God and other stuff, so maybe it will change and he'll know if he retires without fighting Mayweather people would hate him for that. yes its Vice Versa but Mayweather just fought the person everybody in the world wanted to. The pac fight never hapened but at 36 he just took the biggest fight he could against a prime 23 year old while Pac is fighting somebody thats never fought at WW and just lost his last fight.

    we shall see

    More relevant than Marquez's entire boxing career. No one gives a **** about Roidquez anymore after Bradley retired the whiny *******. He has to cry about robberies to get some attention these days.

    :deal Yup. Also IF Floyd might even accept which is unlikely and might want to leave this one for even further down the road, for his last fight or 2nd to last fight. Even if Manny calls him out I doubt will Floyd would oblige or accept his challenge. Floyd of all people wants to show he is caca grande and he calls the shots, not Manny! Another excuse and another will be made until Floyd finally accepts. Both are just cashing in before retiring.

    Floyd ducked the fight again saying he will only fight Pacquiao if he joined Gayweather Promotions :lol: :rofl He will constantly put up barriers like he did in the past.

    Mayweather has balls the size of cashews. :deal

    Everybody knows unless Pac actually forces Arum to make the fight it wont happen. Pac has been hiding behind his promoter for so long. Arum doesnt want to make the fight because if Pac gets destroyed then his biggest money maker is gone. If Pac really wwants to fight he needs to tell Arum make the fight or ill reitre and then Arum will make the fight. otherwise he can keep fighting cupcakes like Rios in China while Mayweather is the man for the rest of his career

    You're missing the point. Pac doesn't need to join Gayweather Promotions to make this fight happen. Pac can just do it outside TR if really necessary, but Gayweather wants to ensure this fight never happens even without Arum involved. Requiring Pac to join Gayweather Promotions only further proves that Floyd keeps wanting to put up unnecessary road blocks.
