Wladamir disagreesNo, Wladamir proves what I said is true. He tried his ass of to unify all the belts and he never loses a fight but still Povetkin holds a world tittle that used to belong to Wladamir. Did Wladamir lose a fight to Povetkin? Hell no, Povetkin refuses to fight him. But somehow Povetkin is a belt holder. Same type of thing with Martinez. If by some miracle a fighter gathered up all the belts he would be striped of one or two of them within a month or two. FORGET ABOUT IT. Unifing tittles is as dead as the dinosaur. Also Vladamir's brother holds a belt so as I said Wladamir only proves what I said is true. Having a pair of tough brothers hold all the belts between themselves is about as close as you are going to get to a completely unified tittle and even the two of them can't do it.
Fact is Floyd is so good that people don't give him a pass no matter who he fights, and Manny should be in the same boat because fact is they are the best in their weight class and unless they're fighting the best I ain't giving either a pass. I give manny credit for fighting Bradley even tho I wish Bradley could have been tested more at 147 before the fight, and I give Floyd credit for fighting Cotto.
He's also been there since 05. And like someone said, for these two fighters fighting bigger "names" is much more lucrative than unifying belts.
Belts are given out like party favors these days, and regularly taken from the legit champions. Why unify for mostly nonsense titles. And these titles only get more worthless with every year it seems.
How can people criticize for not fighting some of those title holders, while if he did announce a fight against them. They'd be the exact same people giving him sh** for fighting suspect title holders? Come on.
People at like Floyd fights bums but if you look at it all the guys he has fought recently have all been champions it's no denying this...
Champs, yes
Best available, no.
Only thing Clottey got is defense and a jab and he didn't even come to fight. I'm sorry but the Berto or Ortiz fight would have been a war where someone would have went out in a blaze of glory..Stop giving him a pass I ain't hating but fact is who really wanted to see Manny fight Clottey? Come on
Berto and Ortiz would have been better fights to watch, but Pacquiao blast both of them out in 6.
And I would pick Clottey to out point both guys, especially Berto.
And When was he meant to fight them.
Instead of Clottey, could not happen Berto was set to fight Mosley, think Ortiz was getting beating up by Maidana or trying to rebuild his career.
Instead of Marg, that fight was in the light-middle division and Marg better than Berto plus Berto was too busy fighting gimmes, how is beating Freddy Hernandez going to make a statement. Ortiz not at all viable.
Berto and Ortiz signed to fight each other, Pacquiao went for Mosley, maybe could have pushed for Berto here.
Pacquiao then fought Marquez, and Berto and Ortiz were not viable candidates.
Now Pacquiao fights Bradley, Berto and Ortiz rematch has been signed a long time ago and Bradley is much better than either of those two.
So the only realistic time when the fight could have happened was instead of the Mosley fight and there is a good chance Berto vs Ortiz was already signed when Pac was looking for an opponent.
Berto and Ortiz very overrated.
Pacquiao takes tough fights not paper champions.
Floyd Mayweather fought Judah for the IBF and then vacated it. Then, fought Bladomir for Ring belt and WBC.
He retired came back and fought Mosley but did not pay the sanction fees for the WBA, and after that fight he fought the Ortiz for the WBC belt

Clottey is a better fighter than Ortiz and Berto, and when was Pacquiao meant to face them?

I still don't give Manny a pass for not fight Ortiz or atleast berto, if he can fight clottey he can fight one of those guys...
Clottey is a better fighter than Ortiz and Berto, and when was Pacquiao meant to face them?
But he's not the undisputed, his brother has the other belt LOL and they're never going to fight.
You just need a majority of the 4 main belts to be undisputed champion.
Wlad is the undisputed champ.
Berto would have been a start.Mallinaggi is there for the taking
I guess he could've fought Berto instead of Mosley. I dont really remember what Berto was doing at that time.
Theres no way he'll fight Malignaggi and theres no reason he should. You surely can't be serious?
