    Guzman just ducked out of a deal to fight Judah on the undercard of the Mayweather/JMM fight. What a f'n idiot. freakin undercard of a Mayweather fight. How stupid can you get?:twisted:

    first, he dodges UK unknown Alex Arthur at 130, Galaxy Nate at 135 and now Zab Judah at 140.

    I'm losing respect for this guy quickly.

    It proly wont happen until aug-sept but after what pac did to hatton in 2 rounds. I think pac is ready to have another fight. He did fight marquez in march of 08 and then fought diaz in june of 08 so it's possible he can fight late august or early september.

    Guzman's got no heart, or it seems that way these days. Guzman would be a good fight to get used to Floyd's style. Floyd is 10x better than Guzman, but just style wise, it would make some sense if Floyd is Pac's fight after.

    fighting once a year, demanding only the big
    fights/paydays at the age of 33 will render
    him irrelevant. is he gonna stay at lightweight
    or will he move up?

    I think a fight with Bradley would be a good idea if this interim fight were to happen. He does not have a lot of power but he can box. I think it would be a bad idea to put Pac in with Valero. Yeah, I know everyone but me think's Valero has no chance, but he is dangerous and it would seem not the smartest move to risk a Mayweather/Marquez super fight for that even though I'd like to see it!

    Nah, I can see Mayweather Jr. fighting Guzman. Seriously. I believe it will happen. He'll protect his "O" and cash out.

    oh no 2 defensive boxers who likes to run around the ring. This would be a boring fight:lol: I rather see offensive fighter vs defensive fighter so at least it can be somewhat exciting.

    Bradley has more to offer for pac. He is currently rank # 2 LWW and is the WBO champion. Beating him gives pac another legit title in another weight class. Valero has nothing pac wants. Plus bradley has proven he is a worthy opponent at 140. He has beaten 2 top LWW in Witter and Holt.

    Bradley makes the most sense.

    Javier "Manos de Tortilla" Duran would destroy Singsurat

    It really sucks cause Mosley aint no spring chicken. Mosley looked amazing against Margo, was ok against Mayorga but not that great (though Mayorga was 170 on fight night)

    Mosley really needs to get in this mix with Pac and PBF. I mean if the winner of Pac vs PBF finally fights Mosley at end of 2010 when Mosley is **** what 39 years old or something it could really rob us of a good fight.
