If they hammer out a deal to fight each other, I'm not gonna order it. I was never a fan of Floyd, but I've lost respect for Pacquiao as well. He's talking about fighting Foreman and Malinaggi who are both lame fighters with no pop. I don't see either one of these guys going on to fight Shane Mosley or another dangerous fighter for that matter, so I'm boycotting this fight.
The winner of this fight is defintitely retiring and Pacquiao definitely is since he's running for politics in 2010. And Floyd will retire too if he wins this fight and won't fight all the other all comers. This fight gets nothing from me.
Given that Pac has only 1-3 fights left before retirement, he's going to pick
the most profitable fights. How many fights has he been in? Retirement's a
given, and you can't blame him for cashing out.
Shane wouldn't stake his belt at 140, though (doh! lol...)
Pac wanted a WW belt, and Arum wanted to keep the money in house,
so Pac was matched up vs. Cotto'.
h.
And those fights are with Malinaggi and Foreman? :pat:
It'll be hard given my curiosity, but why should I get interested in these two guys if they are not willing to fight the best outside of each other? Peoples' gripes about Pacquiao draining fighters and going after weak links in weight classes holds a lot weight to it. Cotto didn't deserve a shot at Pacquiao because of that weak performance against Clottey who's overrated himself. Timothy Bradley could beat both Cotto and Hatton in my view even if he couldn't beat Pacquiao. Pacquiao's hardcore fans are saying Floyd is back tracking on his word when it comes to fighting Mosley, but fail to mention that Shane was willing to go down all the way to 140 to fight Manny, and Pacquiao still avoided the fight and won't entertain the thought of fighting him if he beats Floyd.
And I've went over and over my position on Floyd Mayweather. I don't respect him either. I hope both Pacquiao and Mayweather KO each other at the same time and the fight does shit on PPV.
