Would Floyd still be bashed if fought winner of Williams vs Martinez instead of Pac?

[Russian Crushin]

Anything short of Pac fighting Floyd is a disappointment

I dont care if they each fight a Klitschko

If he doesn't fight Pac he will forever be criticized. However, if he beats Williams or Martinez (Particularly Martinez) than whether he is criticized or not, he ranks higher than Pac.

surely you don't me on the ATG list? Even if Floyd beats Manny, he will still be rated below Manny as far as most historians are concerned. Same reason Duran is above Hearns, and Pep is above sandler.

this is true, but if, and this is a big if, he fights and beats all three then hes def higher than pac.

If he just fought the winner of Martinez vs Williams and Pac next year he would def rank higher than pac

If Floyd says screw the Pacaqiuo fight because of the complications of getting it done and fights the winner of Williams vs Martinez next is he still critcized of not getting the pac fight done?

the bold section answers it all. no need to bring in to the equation the names of williams, martinez, tyson, tua, hagler, cotto, margarito, torrecampo, etc.

[the_ilest]

i rather see, floyd vs williams, or floyd vs martinez any day, instead of pac.

[Jim Jeffries]

Hell no.

I'd rather him fight the winner of that fight, hell maybe even the loser.

The Pac fight I've lost interest in, unless it happens at 140.

[razor.thin]

seriously loling at this ****ing thread!!

he is afraid of a blown up lightweight then you mention him fighting middleweights. lol!
