    “Pacquiao is good. Pacquiao takes challenges and that’s why I like him. He moves up and fights the best fighters in the division. I’m all for him. I’m with him.”

    he hasnt fought the best at 135 or 147 what is he talking about? is he saying that the challenge is the fighters being bigger than him? he has been fighting guys coming off losses or looking bad in their previous fights. I'm not bashing pac because he is a heck of a fighter but i dont get the statement..he is getting alotta cool points for this mayweather thing

    Translation: Floyd is a coward and a duck and I'm sick of his bullsh*7. Mad props to Pacquiao for being a true champion. I'm all for Pac and totally against Fraud Duckweather who is a shame on the whole sport and all of us fighters who dedicate our lives to this sport.

    that's got nothing to do with it.

    Sasakul was the best fighter at 112
    Ledwaba was one of the best fighters at 122, so was Sanchez.
    Barrera and Marquez were the two best fighters at 126, Pac fought them back to back.
    Morales, Barrera, and Marquez were the 3 best fighters at 130, Pac fought 5 fights with them.
    Diaz was a top10, probably top 5, fighter though not one of the best at 135.
    Hatton was the best fighter at 140.
    Cotto and Clottey were two of the 5 best fighters at 147 after Pac beat Hatton.

    Pac fights the best.

    In 7 divisions 2 he didn't face the best b/c of his short stint at 135 and at WW he's faced TWO TOP level 147 pound fighters.

    And Manny has only faced TWO guys coming off losses EM and Josh. Other than that ALL of his fights were against guys who were winning.

    Cloud is jsut calling it like it is.

    Well he's calling outright the best at 147 (if that's what you're insinuating) but the guy don't want to face him.

    overall yes, but not since he acheived superstar status...he is doing the same thing mayweather and oscar and hopkins do/did except not get bashed for it.

    Says the guy who sat on his mandatory rather than pressing for a bout with Dawson, because he knew Dawson would vacate if he waited long enough.

    I actually got this from some interview. I didn't post the link but he talk about fighting the winner of dawson-pascal next.

    http://www.eatthemushroom.com/mag/article.asp?id=1451&catID=6
    On whether he would like to see Chad Dawson win against Jean Pascal so he has the chance to fight Dawson:

    “I mean, it doesn’t matter who wins that fight to me. May the best man win. I would love to fight either one of those guys and unify the titles. It really doesn’t matter. May the best man win, and the best man will be the winner and I would like to fight the best man from that fight.”
