    Steward is right. Pac is at the point where he and his handlers are only looking for the money fights. Unfortunately, that only includes fighters with names (albeit past their primes) and somewhat of a following, and not these young, hungry fighters like Bradley or Berto, who would present better comp than an old Mosley a drained ODLH, etc.

    With that being said, if it's all about looking for fights that make money....I expect Marquez to be his next fight (if Floyd doesn't step in).

    "Lets face the true facts Pacquiao will only face fighters that are done, over the hill, past their primes, coming off a loss, weaken them from a bs catchweights and was there just for a payday and won't take a chance"

    DOes this mean PAc is a very Weak fighter?

    if he is weak then why is floyd making a $100mil dollar Excuse?

    Ill remember pac vs hatton The BEST

    than Floyd vs ? hmmm? castillo maybe

    This is the guy that said he has never seen anything in his life like Pacquiao. During the Cotto fight he straight up said Manny is one of the greatest of all time, even saying he is better than Henry Armstrong.

    As simple as this. He will not fight nobody who can knock someone out with one punch and he will not be facing someone fast and explosive that wins fights by the same means such as big unseen shots.

    There are very few but take everyone who fits into either of these catagory's and count em out unless they get to a point where there is alot of money involved.

    As for martinez, Floyd or Manny will not get in the ring with him without draining him like crazy. Martinez is at that status point but he has one punch power as well as clever means to get that shot there and I don't care who you are, Martinez is gonna trick you into big shots. I don't care if your are floyd or manny. You will be hit with big shots garenteed.

    Manny won't face berto because of how he wins fights which is by the same means as manny minus the tenacity. Manny should win but berto's attributes provide a little bit of uncertainty to Mr. Arum enough that it doesn't make since to him from a risk reward standpoint. I would have to agree with him at this point but that's just how it is.

    No...wrong. I already do know why as do most people. Hes the p4p best and only Mayweather and Martinez are arguably going to be favored if they fight him. Mayweather isn't fighting him and Martinez is a middleweight. Everyone else is the underdog against Pac. What do you want him to do? Marquez? Please. He'd be the underdog as would Bradley, Berto, and anyone else you want to argue for.

    Arum seems to be considering Marquez, for Manny's next fight...underdog or not.

    In case you don't know, Oscar is already at 147lbs 2 weeks before the fight. Oscar doesn't need to kill himself to make the weight. Now, go and look for another excuse.

    I think you misquoted Manny.


    “Well right now the guys that would be a threat for him he’s not going to fight them all, anyway.

    In our conversation, Steward talked about the amazing accomplishments of Pacquiao and how he has impacted the sport. Winning seven division world titles is not something that happens every day in boxing. Emanuel spoke to me about these accomplishments a few days ago, "What he has done in this sport is amazing, nothing short of it. He has been able to climb up the weight divisions and

    Did this A-hole Steward contradict himself with this statement?
