I would rather see Pac take a vacation than see him fight for a bogus title against Margarito. I am not one of those people who subscribe to the theory that a mismatch is better than no match at all. I agree with you about the high reward, low risk fight. Pac will be a high reward, low risk fight for Floyd next year. I would prefer to see him fight this year against Martinez or Berto (both lower risk and lower reward fights, but more competitive and entertaining than Pac-Margarito) rather than wait for the Pac fight. Margarito is a fighter that duck by floyd and a mismatch against pac. :lol1: Pacquiao is the only fighter that is a super high reward and low risk fight that floyd will never fight. :lol1:

Yeah floyd never lost to a fight but he never won the fighter of the decade and you can keep your opinion for yourself because it doesn't count only the respected boxing experts are only that matters about the rankings and you are not one of them. :lol1: Oh i almost forgot a lot of people think that castillo won the first fight with floyd. :lol1:I couldn't even decipher that mess you wrote lol...

Pacquiao is the best! Only reason why Floyd Jr. was number 1 is cuz Floyd Sr. threat to Kevin Iole that he will choke him out if lil Floyd wont be on number 1 spot!

PAc is beating a bunch of Arum stooges who are probably set ups and being paid behind closed doors to lose. Ok, so maybe I went to far, but I had to throw it out there lol... lol at this idiot flomo conspiracy theory. Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, and Clottey recieved the worst beating in their entire life, some others almost die in the ring with Pac (Diaz, Oscar if he did not quit and Hatton) then you talked about being paid? Stupid!

There's nothing wrong in telling a truth and about margarito, i think it's better than taking a vacation and waiting for an opponent who is a high reward low risk fight and that's what floyd is doing right now. :lol1: I would rather see Pac take a vacation than see him fight for a bogus title against Margarito.

Floyd never lost, while PAc lost to Morales this decade. People even think PAc lost to JMM in the rematch. PAc was never pfp the best in my eyes ever, and until he beats Floyd, he'll never be seen by me as pfp the best today!

kudos..whatever... but if you really wanna go there..most boxing annalist & commentators feel Floyd will win anyways. Even the dudes that hate him and call him a coward or whatever, they know he'll school Pacquiao. They can't stand Floyd LOL Actually, they can't stand him but secretly LOVE to see the dude box :boxing:

The rankings of boxing today come down to a popularity contest. The pfp rankings, and the 140lbs rankings are the biggest joke on Yahoo, Ring, and any magazine that has PAc ranked #1 pfp or Khan #2 at jww lol... If this is a popularity contest then floyd will be the #1 hands down but it isn't and beside floyd shouldn't be mention in the rankings since he is in temporary retirement. :lol1:

Seriously, who cares? The haters on this site like you love talking about what a great champion Pacquaio is and about Mayweather "ducking" the best competition. However, your god and P4P champion is going to fight his second fight of the year in November and, just like Clottey, it will be another noncompetitive fight against a guy who recently lost, is not at top of the division and who has no chance of winning. What does that say about a P4P champion and an "alleged" all-time great? There's nothing wrong in telling a truth and about margarito, i think it's better than taking a vacation and waiting for an opponent who is a high reward low risk fight and that's what floyd is doing right now. :lol1:
