    Something about glass houses... Hey if you'd rather not read these plain facts, maybe you shouldn't have steered the thread in that direction.

    Because I said Floyd would get hate if he decided to fight a guy coming off a loss to his rival at a catchweight :huh And it's not like Pac hasn't done this before. Even guys he fought first, he'll go ahead and refight them after Floyd fights them. Once Ortiz's jaw heals, I bet Pac fights him.

    and don't talk about the 8th weight class and 5th weight class. Sergio is a 160 pounder and Floyd never weighed more than 151 pounds for a weighin. Pac was 105 pounds when he was 16 and the same with Floyd.
    These guys aren't that far from eachother in size (Floyd and Pac)

    Didn't Cotto's stature grow off that loss? Also, that's the fight that made him unshot. It's not big deal, just a money fight for Arum, no bragging rights.

    And no, I don't think Floyd would get **** if Sergio lost well to Chavez, and Floyd fought him at 157 for no belt. Hell I'd give him more props than if he defended his belt vs the same guy at 154, which would also get props (tho a champ should be ready for any top challenger in his div). But I wouldn't give him any for dodging out of the fight at either weight.

    well if it's all about the money, then go ahead and fight Cotto.

    and I don't really like Floyd fighting Sergio if Sergio lost, but I guess it depends on how he loses. And I agree. Floyd should defend his belt vs Sergio at 154

    Cotto whoops his ass at 154. 150 or lower im not so sure. He does have a new trainer tho so im pumped to see it with the Pedro Diaz tactics. They can pull it off!

    The same bum Pac fought at a 150 catchweight. And for a vacant Jmw belt. To declare himself an "8 division champ" and neither of them was deserving of the title shot. Now that is truly pathetic.

    If he fights him @ 154 then I give pac full credit and possibly rank him above Floyd depending on how he does against cotto. @ a catch weight the fight dose not mean ****...another cw would be embarrassing and I wouldn't even bother buying it
    . I'll watch it if its free but it does not credit pac as it will not discredit cotto

    **** is crazy, what is the point of this fight. smh. Fighting someone you clearly beat at a catch weight, again at a catch weight but this time after a loss. Wtf.

    You got me good, LOL

    Marg with 2 good eyes >>> with 1 good eye

    I'll handhold you through the rest once more:

    asking for a CW in your 8 div >>> requesting CW in your 3rd
    smaller guy asking a much bigger guy for one moving up >>> asking to defend your belt and ring #1 rating at a CW against a divisional challenger >> same thing, but with a 6lb rehydration allowance >>> same thing, with the challenger a one eyed guy not ranked top 20
