Does he deserve Pac, do you still want the fight made.

    Nobody complained when Pac made Larios jump up two weight classes.

      Well what's done is done. You can't continue to criticize him about not fighting the best, when now he's willing to. Mosley is fighting Berto, so it's not like anyone else besides Pacquiao is out there.

      Besides in 2007, Floyd fought 2 really good fighters in Oscar and Hatton. There was a reason why he won FOTY in 2007. I understand your beef with him for not fighting in 08, but it eventually made the best fight possible. Pac Mayweather will be a lot bigger then Cotto Mayweather would have been.

        If they agree to it, why not. It not like bringing someone up in weight who has never fought that high before, is it?

          Wasn't a mega fight, wasn't 13lbs. Nice try on twisting things though.

            If Marquez didnt agree to it then they would have never fought. Your argument is lame you have double standards.

              I can agree with that. Positive and negative a real sound opinion.

                  Cotto and his handlers said he wasn't ready when for Floyd @ 140.

                  Do you even follow boxing?? Last time I checked they were fighting @ 160 @ that time

                    Semantics. Still made him come up 2 classes, and still didn't meet the contracted weight. Little bit of a difference my man.

                      As I said Pac made Larios come up two weight class, but you said its ok if Larios agreed, well Marquez agreed also, like I said, double standards.
