    I brought that quote in for the weight purpose...because you said that Pac was small.

      Wrong. Mosley turned down Floyd twice, the latter because of a TOOTHACHE. Look it up.

      It is not ducking when you are waiting to set up a fight with a better, more talented opponent.

He never used rough tactics. He picked his shots and look great on defense. If the fight with JMM took place at 140, he still would have outboxed the guy the way that he did. So let's not just say he did what he did to JMM all based on size. That was NOT the case. IT was case of one guy having superior BOXING skills than another guy.

        Also, he has fought ONE TIME, since he came back. There are good fights down the road to be made. At this point, he is waiting for the outcome of the Manny-Cotto fight.

        Let me ask you this, why is it a problem for A smaller fighter to come up to fight Mayweather, BUT if Mayweather wants to be great he has to step up to in weight to fight other guys? Like you mentioned Williams and you even mentioned him possibly going to MW....i don't get it.
        You just answered your own question there. It isnt a problem! It is a challenge,so being that Mayweather is going for glory over dollars,I want to see him in a challenge,not a foregone conclusion or a probable victory. Lets not forget that when Mayweather announced his comeback he stated that he could get down to 140! well if that was the case,then why didnt he fight Marquez there? that would have been a challenge!

            I'm not saying he is a huge guy. come on now. You said that we know what Floyd would do against much smaller guys..the point is..Pac is not a very small guy.

                Ok, so he has to be "disadvantaged" PRE fight in order to him to be "challenged"?

                Also, you put a quote, link it or it didn't happen.

                  Floyd will the favorite or (probable victor) as you say, in any current fight. Definitly with Mosley, less so with Pac.

                    TBH I cant be arsed to look for it right now,but it was a sky sports interview,I am pretty sure he said that in the boxing press,I know it was reported here also. And as regards being at a disadvantage,why do I keep hearing from floyd fans about him being a small welterweight? surely a small welter is a 140 pound fighter? right?

                      You would give pac a better chance than Mosley?
