As a hardcore boxing fan, don't you kind of want Mayweather to beat Pacquiao?

    There's proof for ya. Now that Floyd is the top draw these same guys would love to fight Floyd, yet back then when the rules were reserved, they never gave him a chance.

    Also, not only that, he was calling out BIGGER men.



    Lol. Even more.

    I said "called out and fought". The word fought is important and is the meaningful part about this equation.

    First off Floyd has been at 147 for a long time (5 years) and I don't recall him calling out Margarito, Williams, Mosley, Cotto. He called out Cotto at 140, when he wasn't ready BUT Cotto WASN'T READY!!!

    In fact it was the other way around. Margarito, Williams, Mosley and Manny who all called him out. When Cotto was ready, Floyd decided to fight a career 140lb Hatton at 147, like he had no true 147lb guys to chose from, and then retired!


    A young Floyd: Called out Mosley and Oscar when they were moving up divisions. What's the point? It's like calling out the biggest baddest dude in your block when you know he is not around to hear you. What's the point?

    Floyd called out an out of prime, too many wars Gatti who admitted to having a very hard time making 140 (next fights at 147) then quits! Another video he was trying to convince us that Marquez deserves a fight at 147 against him......

    Again, Ali called out and even went to their house, hang outs, ... he even stalked them to get a fight with them ..... but more importantly, he fought even those who were favored to beat him. Foreman looked invincible and destroyed Frazier who Ali lost to. Ali did not go looking for excuses not to take the fight like Floyd is doing against Manny (eg. OST).

      I don't care who wins. I want the top names in boxing to get in the ring and fight instead of finding reasons not to. At this point, the hype is dead for me.

            so he outweighed Clottey, Cotto and Margarito?

              Kev's being nice. I'd do with C-/D+.

              I just watched the Torrecampo fight again, you know he's really trying hard for that D+ rating.

                Yes, HBO just put down a fake weight for Pac so the public would think he's some kind of little midget beating up bigger men.

                The reality is that Pac even outweighed Margarito on fight night. Although I hear that it was only by 2 or 3 pounds.

                Kinda devalues Pac's achievements, huh?

                      In that case, the Singsurat fight confirms it.

                      What about when he was whining like a little baby vs. Agapito?
