if it already hasnt. I think Floyd does truly 100% want to fight Pac and I think he was dead serious when he was saying that Pac was next. There is no other fight right now that could him hyped or make enough money to compete with it "except" for 1. Khan is the only exception. I think Floyd made those comments because he looked at Khan as more of a future opponent but with the way Khan, Roach, & GBP have been talking lately, I think he see's the fight as being legit right now.
Therefore I dont think you will hear Floyd talk as much about fighting Pac next anymore. Ive already been looking and I already think there's been a very suttle change. I think he may even regret saying it in the 1st place. However, there are still some problems. At 1st Khan & Roach were talking about the end of 12 and that would be too long for Floyd to sit idle again. The Pac fight woulnt happen to mid 13 at the earliest then. He would take alot of heat between now & then.
Since then though both Khan & Roach are now starting to say mid 12 which is when most thought the Pac fight would be. Floyd could easily fight Pac 1st but why do that? The Pac fight is almost like the pinnacle. You dont want to fight Pac, have the boxing air go down some and then fight Khan. You be better off fighting Khan 1st, let Pac fight someone like Bradley, and then the 2 meet in the summer of 12 for the big fight.
Not only that but it gives Floyd what his uncle & dad want which is more fights before a Pac fight to knock off the inactivity & rust. He may have hurt himself by talking more about the Pac fight this time around because thats all the fans & media will talk about from now on and e****ally after the Ortiz fight. I dont think the mainstream will be sold on a Khan fight at 1st and Floyd will take alot of heat but then the fight would build huge interest when they find out that Khan is trained by Roach, Roach wants the fight, Khan is a guy alot think could win, he spars with Pac, and most of all the fight will be in Wembley.
I think if not in the UK then the mainstream still might feel iffy about it and rip Floyd but if he goes there then that will intrique alot of boxing fans, e****ally if they are 100% sure that both Floyd & Pac are fighting fresh new talent like Ortiz, Khan, & Bradley or Jones while also are letting it be known that they will fight eachother next. Ofcourse none of this happens unless all these guys win all there fights ahead of time which is no gimmie. Zab could give Khan hell, Ortiz could give Floyd hell, JMM could give Pac hell, Brooke or whoever could give Khan problems, Bradley or Jones could give Pac problems, and Khan could give Floyd hell.
At the end though, I think Floyd's tune will soon change if it already hasnt but I dont think he should be ripped for it, atleast not by boxing fans. We all know that Floyd-Khan is a big & legit fight e****ally if its in the UK and we want to see Pac fight a young lion in the meantime like a Bradley or Jones. Then the 2 best meet for the Super fight. Its a perfect setup to me
