    LOL, but i still keep you on my friends list.
    this can be easily done with Mannys ENTIRE resume man....

    actually why did Pac duck Casamayor and J. Diaz to fight David Diaz?

    Why did Pac duck Shane Mosley to fight Clottey?

    Why did Pac duck Williams, Bradley etc etc to fight Margarito @ a catchweight?

    Why dud he duck Raheem to fight a washed up Morales back to back?

    see how easy this is?

      Better question: Why has Floyd ducked Pacman?

        That is how I remember it anyways.
        You are correct, some said that Floyd moving up may give him problem, but most who knew the sport figured that Floyd was way too skilled for the 6 losses Gatti.

        I personally thought Buddy Mcgirt's trainning would allow Gatti to survive the 12 rounds without getting as many pot shots as hid receive. But Kellerman hit the nail on the head before the fight, he said it was going to lopisded, i thought it would be boring 12 round decision for Mayweather.

        As far as both starting as SFW, Gatti was barely over the FW division when he started, my point was that size was not a major issue.

          if floyd never fought phillip ndou(slick black fighter), justin juuko(slick black fighter), or victoriano sosa(slick black fighter) then they would have become great fighters but floyd destroyed them. instead of a floyd vs pac superfight we would be talking about a ndou vs juuko superfight and why is juuko demanding blood tests etc....

            They were certainly of similar size, but Floyd does benefit from basically having the perfect proportions for a boxers body.

              Casamayor was considered the equivalent of David Diaz (the belt holder that Pac beat 135) in the 130 pound division when Floyd fought in that division. The difference was that Floyd fought the best fighters in the division (Diego Corrales) instead of the fourth best like Pac did in fighting Diaz. Who the **** is Artur Grigorian? That must be a joke. Spadafora was in prison when Mayweather moved up to 135 and beat Castillo twice. Mayweather called Kostya Tszyu out at the same time he call out Cotto at 140. Tszyu chose to fight Hatton (who also dodge Floyd at 140) instead. I won't waste my time talking about the others. They have been discussed enough.

              But keep up the research. It actually makes you look less ******ed than the other *******s.

              Diego Corrales was old and Casamayor won 2 of the 3 fights with him
