Well, it looks like Floyd Mayweather will once again screw every boxing fan in the world by ducking Manny Pacquiao. That means Bob Arum has no choice but to start looking for other opponents who can potentially challenge Pacman.
It’s a 99% done deal that Pacquiao’s next opponent will be Shane Mosley in May of 2011, but fans who would rather see Manny take a third fight with Juan Manuel Marquez can now rest easier tonight.
Freddie Roach assures us a third fight with Dinamita will happen in the near future.
“I’m not too worried. After Mosley, the Marquez fight will still be there. He’ll be there after this fight. I don’t see Marquez going anywhere. We just have to keep winning and I think that fight will happen,” Roach said. “Marquez just wants to say no by negotiating the way that he wants to negotiate. That’s a polite way of saying no. He doesn’t really want to fight us.”
I suppose this can be considered good news because a lot of fight fans would much rather see Pacquiao fight Marquez instead of Mosley. However, I can’t help but be disappointed that they seem to have completely forgotten about Floyd Mayweather.
I realize there’s nothing they can do about it because Money May is openly ducking Pacquiao and is obviously too scared to fight him. But it’s still a bummer knowing the one-fight that could bring boxing back to the mainstream will probably never happen.

If this is the case and they intend to do the Mosley fight and then Marquez III, why not go with Marquez first on cinco de mayo and then Mosley in the fall? It would even give Mosley a chance to walk into his fight with Pac being able to say he has won a fight in the last 2 years. Hate to say it but they want to protect manny above all rather than the most competitive AND richest fight possible and let the threat of Marquez get old and nonthreatening just as Mosley has, so in the long run they can milk the cash cow for all he's worth playing us all for chumps.
And yes, as long as Mayweather is "on vacation"(doesn't seem very relaxing to me what he's been up to) and he doesn't speak publicly about whoever representing him trying to work out a deal for Pac, He is ducking.
Pac is still the WBO 147 belt and he has the right to defend that.. You don't beat guys at Middleweights and you call out a 144 pounder. Good think Martinez ducked Pirog and Bute when they called him out.
Good thing you hear 168 pounders and even 175 pounders wants a crack at Pacquiao.
lol butthurt Martinez produced the KO of the year over your boy?
if thats the case then Manny should have just fought Margarito at the 147 limit for his WBO belt. by him trying to cheat the sport and beating an unranked boxer for JrMW vacant belt and calling his self a champ his fair game to be called out at that division
we are talking about almighty pac here, he is allowed to do whatever he wants as long as the mainstream media keeps sucking his midget cock.

its pacs own fault, he should stop winning paper titles at catchweight then.
he cant have it both ways.
Martinez is ducking Pirog and Bute. You don't call out a fighter who weighs 144 at a Jr. Middleweight fight.
What the Hell are you talking about? Good thing most Flomos smoke weeds.. They have the breeding of the Crackhead Sr..
How about you support an American fighter not riding on a d!ck on an Argentinian
i have a problem with pactards blaming floyd for pacquiaos opponent choice.
and if they wanna keep calling him a 8division champ, then their hero should better fight martinez instead of mosley next.
do u rly think i forgot how pac fanboys were trying to boycott mayweather vs mosley because mosley was too old????
they even created facebook accounts with the title "boycott mayweather vs mosley" lol
duckqiuao ducked the OST to face floyds 3rd left over :rofl:
he now wants old mosley to take a blood test,weight drainined doin it no more now he's gonna add blood draining too lol
but is scared of a random test himself that little bit**
he even sued floyd that's how scared he was lol
but him being from a line of criminals ,his uncles are all murderers no wonder he turned out so two faced and cowardly :lol1:

you don't call out the WBC JrMW champion for the belt that you were forced to vacate?
Yeah because having to deal with legal problems is ducking. Get outta here with that crap man, he has court cases to deal with. Now i'll give you the second round of negotiations as Floyd's fault but come on man. How is it Floyd's fault that they're gonna pick a shot Mosley? Stop buying into everything fed to you by Top rank. SMH
Wake up, what the hell are you talking about??????
