See what you did there? You gave a TIMELINE reason as to why PAC couldn’t have fought Floyd in the period I stated. I will accept it as a valid & logical reason.
Now, in the same exact context, how could Floyd have fought Oscar and Mosley from 1999 to 2005 when he was at 130/135 Ibs? They weren’t in the same weight class.
So, how can you say that Floyd ducked them and then use the same TIMELINE reason when it comes to Pacqiao?

I think we may have hit the tipping point with Haka - he just gave me the TIMELINE reason actor why PAC couldn’t have fought Floyd from 2004-2009 which is precisely what I’ve been saying about Floyd not being able to fight Oscar and Mosley when he was a fledgling 130/135 guy.
Let’s see how he responds. This might be just a question of selective outrage or he might finally acquiesce. Or not.

Just for the record that '99 fight was a real thing.
Mosley had his side of the story and Floyd has his. Whichever narrative suits our alliance is what we’ll go with.
That said, riddle me this, Oscar and Mosley turned pro 4 years (about) before Floyd.
In 1999, Mosley was 31-0. Oscar was 30-0
Floyd was 20-0
Oscar was already 4 division champion AND already a massive star.
Mosley and Oscar fought each other when they were kids and yet from 1992/1993 until 2000 they had never fought each other but somehow, Floyd was expected to fight both of them.
Do you see how that sounds?
Floyd was not a PPV star nor was he at the level of Oscar in popularity. Like Mosley and Oscar did early in their careers, Floyd was building his brand yet somehow, that translates to him ducking those two guys.
If you don’t see the point I’m making, it’s because you just don’t want to see it.
You’d have a better case saying Floyd ducked Cotto and Margarito in 2008. It’s not true but at least timeline-wise, you can make an argument that he did.

That is a lie that potential fight was featured on the cover of RING magazine, so the star power was already there relative to the weight class, to be able to generate a respective revenue.
