Nope! PBF is still have the lineal claim @ 147. He may be inactive but not retired. The lineage is clear and intact.
The question should be Pac-SSM for WW Ring belt? Very unlikely but there's the slim possibility.
Pac at Ring's #1 and Mosley @ 3 rankings should seal the deal BUT Ring rules said, "SOMETIMES" a box-off between number-one and number-three rated can win the vacant title.
Another reason maybe is that Ortiz vs Mayweather is looming in the horizon which also have a say in the 147 rankings where Ortiz is #2 while PBF just dropped due to inactivity but still a contender and has the lineal claim.
yes imo, there's no more logical opponent than Mayweather... If Mayweather will not step up to the plate then its time for Pac to leave the sports for good.
Are you a boxing fan? The man is mesmerising to watch. He hardly even trained for this fight and he has it in the palm of his hand.
Its too good to miss.from CJ:
"I believe he beat the best out of the best
He made enough money and fame to live comfortably for the rest of his life
He made history with his victories over last 10 years or so
i don't think he needs to go backwards and fight unnecessary opponents like Williams or Martinez
I think he needs to continue his workout and stay in perfect shape till let's say next 6 months and see if he get's a green light from Floyd
If not , there is no need to continue fighting , his name is already added to ATGs he is into politics, which I am sure it will get him to the next higher level of life .
Last but not least I don't find a reason for him to continue fighting , he earned it all !"
for those of you he beleive he has 8 oficial belts so dont beleive this hyphe sh-it he has 8..on golpe a golpe they search really well and they said he has ring magazines and interim wich dont count..i didnt watch that bull ****y fight i knew it was going to be a sparring session like teh clottey fight i heard plaster guy has no power at all he was a punching bag.i cant believe he gets ATG credit...clottey,a 22 month lay of cheater COME ON...nope! Manny is a true champion at 4 weight classes, mind you no one in the current ATG had ever done that... forget the ABC belts, Lineal title separate him from the rest and that's amazing winning 4 of those from 112 going up... that's an unbelievable body of work for a midget like Manny... LOL
Mexicans stay hatin with Mexico's rich boxing history and talent up to this date... I wonder why they're stuck at 3 titles??? while a single Pacquiao picking belts from everywhere and some of those are coming ironically from Sulaiman who himself is a native of mexico... funny, isn't it?
"No test! No fight!"
Pretty simple why the fight didnt happen.NO! it's not as simple as that because boxing in case you don't know doesn't require OST as time immemorial then suddenly Floydie asking it... :sad6:
Floyd's tests proved that Manny is scared to get caught. He's already gotten in his poor oversized head. There are numerous boxers and boxing insiders who are sure he's on something illegal.assumptions... assumptions... are willing to name your source and present it in a proper place for this accusation???
Because it means when they go back to the table to make this fight Team Pac MUST agree to " full testing with no cut off date " because that is what they are preaching out there today to the public , only a fool would think they agreed fully back when signing Margo , but the good thing now , I think , is it means that they will now accept it .
But the money will be an issue , Floyd will want more no doubt about it , after Mosley done nearly twice what Clottey did and May JMM blew away Pac JMM , Floyd will ask for more money in the next round , which going by the numbers he does deserve more , how much will depend on the PPV numbers of Pac Margo .
To make this fight a reality they need full testing no cut off , and realistly say the money be around 52-48 Floyds way , I actually hope Pac Marg does really good numbers otherwise Floyd is going to push hard real hard on the money , but I personally think Pac Margo is going to bomb ,hope on wrong on that .
So you lot think all the Team Pac story changing ultimately is a good thing or bad ?who needs who??? Pacman can retire anytime even without him fighting PBF. Floydie need money more than Pac does...
and lastly, don't believe in what you're reading nowadays... lol
forget the cut-off for any blood testing... There's no problem with Pac taking his blood after the fight and its more than enough and conclusive to find out if he is really on PED or something. In fact, Pac passed all the post fight test in all his previous fights... Mayweather asking ridiculous terms is really pointless and a clear sign of cowardliness imo.
Manny Pacquiao was not very impressive in both of his fights this year. Pacquiao fought Clottey who for some mysterious reason did not throw many punches as well as Shane Mosley's damaged left-overs in Margarito, who is not a very good fighter without his cheating advantage. Compare that to Sergio Martinez, who fought and beat Kelly Pavlik and Paul Williams.
being in the top means a series of body of work... Pac is consistently beating top opponents since 2003... Sergio is just starting...
Williams' was worse IMO. I think the fact that he's a big guy just made it that more dramatic because you know the saying: "The bigger they are, the harder they fall", and that held true in this case.Martinez is bigger than Williams that's why the latter demanded a catchweight but Williams is taller though...
