    No and he's facing the P4P #1 by default. Who got there only when PBf left the sport. When the two meet PBf will show you why he was P4P #1 when both were active.:deal

    Fighting Marquez & Pacquiao after a year n a half out is dangerous, I wont say he is a cherry picker but if he beats both, I think he should fight at least 1 of the trio of Cotto/Mosely/Williams personally.
    Floyd has all the skills, he just needs to be more fan friendly to win over the majority of fans.

    Pacquiao fans are already preparing their excuses when their boy loses. 65% of fans on ESPN voted that Pacquiao would defeat Mayweather, so when Pacquiao loses it's because he's too small? No, he fought his last two fights at 148.5 and 148 respectively so let's call a spade a spade. Mayweather is the superior fighter. End of story.

    Either your fighting a guy who is a legitimate challenge who has the tools to BEAT you are you are fighting a guy who is none of things I have stated. Saying both is invalid. Pac looks damn good at 140 and is only a inch shorter in height.

    What the Floyd haters fail to realize is that all the buzz they create about him being am arrogant, self-centered, ducking cherrypicker does nothing except create the public desire to see him get his ass whipped.

    And this is what he thrives on. This is why he will get the PPV buys every time he fights from this point on. Now, I know you'll all deny it, but there ain't a single one of you who wouldn't either buy the PPV, or go to a bar or someone's house that's showing it. Period.

    Answer these 2 questions:

    1. Is Pacquiao P4P #1 right now?

    2. Is Floyd bigger than Pacquiao?

    you can try and twist things if you want but Pac is clearly the smaller fighter,hes a former flyweight that was fighting at 130 last year while Mayweather has been a welter for years now.

    He's a cherry picker that's hopefully going to get his mouth shut for doing it. And that will be the most enjoyable part.

    the diference is that Duran was fighting at higher weights for some time when he faced Hearns while Pac was fighting three divisions bellow welter last year.
