Like i've said before. He's given us some good fights thus far, and us fans have no reason to complain. Morales 3x, Barrera 2x, JMM 2x, took a tune-up against Diaz @135 and utterly demolished him. Moved up to 147 to fight Oscar, and utterly demolished him. Came down to 140 to take on the reigning 140lb champ, and utterly demolished him. He's now waiting on the sidelines to fight either Floyd, JMM, Cotto, or Shane.

What's the problem?

great question..oscar and floyd both let arum and started making big time money

Bro...dude just fought and yes he made it look easy but it's time to relax for a few and let the next couple of fight pan out and see what's on the table. With Cotto v Clottey this weekend and Marquez v Floyd in July, plus Mosely still waiting the Pacman has many options available to him. He's not retiring and coming out of retirement or anything like that....he is just taking some R&R and chillin for the next couple of months. So just hold on to your horses and chillax and sooner or later a decision will be made.

who are your favorite fighters?

**gancho_al_igado** · 06-10-2009, 02:04 PM

Manny is one of them before you start.

Iam not complaining about his performances, cus they been phenomenal. Iam just saying now that he has all the star power in the world he should take more control of his carreer, atleast publicly. The whole " idk u gotta talk to my promote" answer on every question is irritating.

**VERDUGO** · 06-10-2009, 02:07 PM

Manny is a 'yes,sir' guy.

I dont care who controls what, and neither should u. Our only concern as fans is that he continues to give us great competitive matchups against the best possible opponents available.

I agree about the whole "You'll have to ask my promoter" thing. It would be nice for these fighters nowaday's to express who they would like to face, but the truth is, hardly anyone calls out anyone during the post-fight interview. For some reason, promoters instruct thier fighters not to do so. I dont know why.

Arum specifically stated hes giving Pac a list of 8 fighters to choose from

Hes the best fighter in the world and hes made BOAT LOADS of cash... not exactly a bad business decision being with arum...
