Mosley was the consensus #1 ww and the lineal champ when floyd fought him. Clottey was a fringe contender ranked between 4-6 by most reputable rankings. Manny's wins losses and a draw vs those 3 at 126 are very respectable. Floyd's wins vs Corrales, castillo, and Genaro hernandez are just as respectable.
What will you think if Mayweather takes another superior opponent to Pac?

Floyd wasnt planning to fight Mosley and Manny wasn't planning to fight Clottey becasue floyd was planning to fight manny until manny refused OST.Comment

Yes, just like how they're planning to fight another Top Rank fighters in November instead of Paul Williams who called manny's ass out.Comment

I give credit if the Opponent is a challange for him, not if the opponent is better then Pacs opponentRegardless of who ducked who last time, and this time. What will you think if Floyd takes another superior opponent?
Floyd get's a lot of hate, and I have personally called him a ***** unless he fights Pwill/Martinez, but it won't be hard to find a better opponent then Marg, and you have to give him some credit.Comment

manny isn't always about making the fights everyone would be interested in seeing. They wanted no part of Mosley according to roach, so let's not pretend they did. manny vs mosley would have been a better fight than manny vs clottey, and manny vs williams would be better than manny vs marg. He's generally choosing Top Rank guys over the guys everyone wants to see him fight. manny just like most boxers likes to fight in-house.Comment

You and everyone else knows the Cotto that lost to Margarito, was NOT considered the better fighter between him and Mosley. Mosley was the #1 WW..PERIOD!
If you are gonna erase context when it comes to Pac's wins, why not do it w/Floyd?
Prime Marquez 1 Draw
Prime Marquez 2 VERY controversial win
Prime MAB 1 Dominating win
Past Prime MAB2 Win
Prime Mor 1 Lost
Past Prime Mor 2 & 3 KO's Past prime and weight drained
Now, compare that to
FMJ
Prime JLC 1 - Very Controversial Win
Prime JLC 2 -Dominating win
Prime Diego Corrales Dominated him
Prime Chavez 1- TKO
Prime Chavez 2-TKO
Prime Jab Judah- Dominating win
Marquez -Over his natural weight class -Totally dominated
Just because a person has a legendary name, doesn't mean that they are still a tough fight.Comment

Manny wanted no part of Mosley... Floyd didn't want Cotto or Marg and doesn't want Manny now either, don't ever bring up who ANY FIGHTER ducked and then bring up Floyd in the same sentence. They only time that should ever happen is when you discuss who the bigger b.itch is, Floyd or Haye.manny isn't always about making the fights everyone would be interested in seeing. They wanted no part of Mosley according to roach, so let's not pretend they did. manny vs mosley would have been a better fight than manny vs clottey, and manny vs williams would be better than manny vs marg. He's generally choosing Top Rank guys over the guys everyone wants to see him fight. manny just like most boxers likes to fight in-house.
That being said, Floyd only fought Mosley because he didn't want to fight Manny. They used the earthquake as an excuse to pull Berto out of the fight. Berto had "family" die in the quake yet he had never been to Haiti, so obviously he had no idea who these people are. I have family in Cuba I've never met and I wouldn't cancel the biggest fight of my life to go see a whole bunch of dead people I never met before, be real. As for Floyd taking a better opponent than Manny's opponent who cares the entire point is he completely ducked Manny who is better than anyone Floyd can pick, either way he's still a *****.Comment

You mean like Floyd?manny isn't always about making the fights everyone would be interested in seeing. They wanted no part of Mosley according to roach, so let's not pretend they did. manny vs mosley would have been a better fight than manny vs clottey, and manny vs williams would be better than manny vs marg. He's generally choosing Top Rank guys over the guys everyone wants to see him fight. manny just like most boxers likes to fight in-house.
And Floyd wanted to fight Mosley?
There was a time to face mosley and it wasnt 2010 when Shane was 38 and 10 years removed from being the #1 P4P fighterComment
