    No fightin! Just a simple question. If for example Pac beatz DLH...

    Then he faces Berto and has a belt at 147. Then after he is no longer about facin top opposition and only cares for money fights...will he be hated on??

    Will we call him overated/ Ducker and ignore everything he did in the lower weights?

    Ofcourse we'd be talkin about a TOP WW callin him out



    UPDATE: Margarito called out Pac
    UPDATE: Now people are sayin Cotto vs Pac is possible

    Why would he be called an overrated fighter?

      People made a big deal about Mayweather not cleaning out the 140lb division (forget 147).

      I wonder if Manny will get the same criticism for winning a WBC title at 135 and never coming back down to fight the real champ Nate Campbell for the undisputed title.

      Mayweather has been accused of avoiding Freitas and Casamayor while passing through 135. I wonder if Manny will be criticized if he stays at 140/147 and never faces Edwin Valero or Joan Guzman, two guys who have been within his weight class for a few years now but never got a chance to fight him.

          The Difference..

          Will Manny Pacqiuao start declaring himself number 1 P4P of all time???

          Some Floyd Fans need to realise how much Floyd hurt his public image making those statements..

            Yes but being full of yourself can push you to be a better fighter. Reason why I think he said all that

              That may be so.. but it still had a negative effect on the public's perception of him..(Paul Willaims is fast becoming another)

              The good thing is.. Floyd is talented enough to back his words up.. and still has time to grow enough balls and prove it..

              Floyd is truly in control of his legacy.. I hope he does right by it..

                Same here. Like everyone else I'd like to see him fight the top dogs at 147 but I really don't think he cared much for that division...All he ever wanted was a big money fight and he spoke about skipping 140 to face DLH which didn't happen.
