    Can I ask you a question, with responses like this I just quoted, what are we suppose to take from this?

    What is the meaning? Obviously you mean to brag on Mayweather Jr. (why I don't understand, it's not like you know him personally) but to some, this looks like you are insinuating Pacquiao is not worthy. While to others the statement has the appearance that you're defending why the fight isn't happening.

    I mean do you want to see this fight happen or not :huh

    I agree with Bill Butcher.

    Honest question with no hidden motive. Why would he have to go all the way down to 150, isn't Floyd a champion at 154?

    I think Sergio's style and the fact he does everything backwards (being a fellow southpaw, not to mention his speed for the weight he carries would be greater than anyone Pac has faced at his higher weights, would be a lot more of a problem then you think. Not saying Pac couldn't win, but you can't make a unrealistic claim like that and expect to be taken seriously afterwards.

    Against Jr. he would in essence be fighting a Cruiserweight, one false move or wild/off-balance flurry could and would probably mark the end of that fight for Manny.

    In short, you're talking out of your ass to the extreme power, if you really believe Pacquiao would certainly KO them both in the same night. He'd be very lucky just getting the win over both. At some point there will be a cut-off in his effectiveness in his climbing the weight classes. And Middleweight would just be too much for him.

    On March 18th 2012, The Martinez Camp offered Mayweather a fight with Martinez @ 150 and a 80-20 split.

    Lou DiBella:"Floyd would be favored at 150. Cotto is a dead man at 154. Cotto is a half-shot. He's a great fighter, but he gets hit by everything. He incented Cotto to make a big money fight. It's very smart business. If he wants to handicap Sergio, we'll fight him as low as 150. And we'll give him 80% of the money.

    Don't know why the fight didn't happen at all but Mayweather ended up fighting Miguel Cotto @ 154.

    It means Floyd has done a magnificent job of maintaining his mainstream popularity, half a decade after the doors swung open for him off the DLH fight.

    Trust me, I'm not in any type of mood to brag on Floyd atm.

    Is been Mayweather's fault since 2009 that the fight doesn't happen. I will spell it out again in the 90th thread regarding this, this week-

    MAYWEATHER WILL NOT FIGHT ANYONE THAT HAS A CHANCE TO BEAT HIM. THATS WHY HE WON'T FIGHT MANNY PACQUIAO, SERGIO MARTINEZ, AMIR KHAN OR MIKE JONES /END THREAD

    i'm just basing it off from what floyd actually said before. that he is ok to fight martinez if he would go down to 150.

    manny said all that when he had a opponent picked out for him already.

    manny wants it though, bob won't let it happen.

    It isn't happening, at any weight.
