    He is top gear with a guy with almost all the disadvantages. Can he get to that 2nd gear should he need it??? If he will up his opposition, he will need that competitive spirit he once demonstrated in the lower weights.

    As for the bold, pac would still fight pbf even though jmm was KO'd. The only thing that is truly in the way for a pac-pbf showdown is money.

      I guess you mean that he would look like a bully. IMO, he was already a bully even before the fight ( weight, contract stipulations, etc...).

      I have mad respect for pbf's skills but as of late, he is more concerned over fight negotiations rather than level of opposition. The latter is more important to me.

        I think if he ko'd a much smaller man, that is what everyone would have said he did. He wanted to display his great skill for everyone to see how good he still is, he did that. Now I just want him to do it against a good fighter his size, that is all anyone wants I think.

          For whatever reason, he let the LW champ go 12 in a WW fight. But 'let' is the keyword. He coulda KO'd him if he felt like it.

            Do you guys know who Scoop is? If you thought Dougie had it out for Floyd, Sccop is 10x worst. He rips Floyd constantly and blast him no matter what happeneds.

            What makes him a clown is before the Hatton fight he said that Hatton would kill Floyd. After the fight he owned up to it and aknowledged Floyd's greatness and he said that if Floyd wanted to retire then it was fine with him and he should be held in high regard. Ofcourse like 2 weeks later he was back to ripping him non stop again. He's also dumb enough to say that Floyd wants none of Pac and that he will try to negotiate his way out of a Pac fight because Pac would kill him. Thats dumb because anyone with a brain knows that Floyd wants a Pac fight more than anything

                so why not wait one day after pac vs hatton concludes? If he did that he would be fighting pac right now. Why sign up to fight marquez the day of the pac vs hatton fight?

                  So when did Pac become a full fledged welterweight beast?

                    floyd pulls the trigger fine... it's just that he only pulls the trigger against overmatched opponents.

                      Then why has he been given so much praise thoughout the boxing society?

                      Has he fought overmatched opponents all the way to the 5 differnet weight classes?

                      Why was he the P4P king for nearly 5 years straight?

                      If a casual boxing fan like you could come to this conclusion about his career, then surely boxing pundits and analyist should feel the same way.
