Clottey was Manny's primest fight above 140,but Clottey never ever really threw any punches,his other top rank brothers came off some serious beatings,that's all.
The thing is, all these guys were prime like 5 years ago. It's like if a guy loses one fight, he is shot and past prime. They are the BIGGEST NAMES out there that can bring in the money.
I can't see why it's so hard to rationalize the idea that in order to guarantee a boxer a 15 million dollar payday, he needs to fight someone with fans that can bring in the money to pay the 15 million dollars. These undefeated guys coming u have like 5,000 fans in the entire world and they can't even fill the local flea market much less the MGM.
So who is Pac to fight then? Look at his resume and tell me that the names on there don't pop out at you. I understand the argument but the reality is he has few choices to fight. Same thing with Floyd, he made himsef a boxing star so to speak, so the fans won't accept him fighting a relative rookie just because that guy is in his prime. Plus, Floyd wants to make 20 million for the fight too, how's that supposed to happen when his opponent has no fans?
When Shane Mosley, Joshua Clottey, and David Diaz get more than 5,000 fans feel free to let me know.
