    Then he should have fought him at 140:yep

    Spin what u like Floyd avoids certain fighters in every CLASS. Overblown opinions of facing DLH are just that. Jermain taylor has had better comp.:good

    How is that, but moving up in weight to fight guys that are moving up as well. Dude pac is over rated he has fought 5 fights vs two fighters that are old. Erik is 1-5 over the past 2 years and his lone win....Was over Pac. This after going 47-1 I think that the numbers prove that Erik was past it. MAB went 6-3 after being 56-3. That is a combined 7-8 after going 103-4. And Floyd gets bashed for fighting Oscar who was a better fighter to start with then both MAB and Erik.

    Another thing I wanted to touch on is this GREAT resume that Pac has fought, people that say that are mainly talking about Erik and MAb because outside of those two that I have already shown to be past it, there isnt much to go on.

    Pac is an exciting fighter, he isnt an elite fighter. Call me a hater but it really is the truth.

    See I don't agree that you should have to reunify after beating the unified champion. Doing that would go above and beyond what they had to do in the past. When Baldomir beat Judah, Judah was the undisputed unified Lineal champion. The BS about sanctioning fees should take away the status of the fighter who beat the unified lineal champion. Mayweather then beat Baldomir....

    Still pretty much the same.

    Should Pacquaio? . . . NO! And it should remain the same until PBF loses or retires or not unless Pac wins his fourth divisional Championship at 135.

    I credit PAC for fighting the best opponents available. Something floyd tends to avoid. I'm not a PAC fan nor do i dislike him either.

    There is no comparison between Floyd's 2 belts and armstrong's 3 Unified belts. Floyd would need at least 6 to be a two division Champ. So using that to bolster floyd's case is gargage. But so is the P4P debate with current guys IMO.

    So a fighter should get P4P status when he fights a champion?!?! If thats true then De La Hoya should be #1. Pac needed a big performance against JMM to be P4P #1. His performance wasn't the greatest and I had JMM winning the fight by a point. So, NO Pacquaio is NOT #1 P4P.

    I get reluctant to give Floyd technicalities WHEN he came very close to avoiding the Baldo fight for Spinks at 54. Not to mention Marg had a belt and challenged him.

    It is clear either way that Floyd has yet to defend that honor to a TOP 47 opponent. DLH 154, Hatton from 40. It's all in line with the way they've approached things from the beginning.

    And its DLH again??:D Same old, same old:good

    Well I do agree with that, and had Pacquiao destroyed JMM last night, or vice versa, I may have dropped PBF based sheerly on his fighting DLH again (I have no problem with his defeat of Hatton or DLH, but I don't like unnecessary rematches, especially since Cotto is the obvious opponent). I also don't like that he hasn't defended the title against a WW yet. The 154 title isn't a real title IMO, just a belt.

    :patsch Are you serious? You have to be joking... Or did you just throw some names out there for posters to put in any order they please? If this is your list for p4p then you may want to join Amy winehouse in some rehab.

    You had the two best and very skilled fighters going at it at 130. A close result shouldnt be a big deal.

    I look forward to Floyd taking the same kind of challenges.:good
