This is from an interview he did in 2009 after the Kendall Holt fight:
You're a fighter who always wants to fight the best and who wants the biggest opponents. Do you think you are any closer to a fight with Manny Pacquiao?
It will never happen. It will never happen. By the time I reach where he is, stature-wise, he'll probably be retired. And I don't blame him for not fighting me. He's in a position where he can choose who he wants to fight and earn millions in big mega-fights. I'd do the same thing in his position. I've had just five years in the [pro] game, and my stature isn't up there with his yet - and by the time it is, he'll be retired probably. Boxing's a business after all. I'm starting to understand the business side of boxing. It's not always about the best fighting the best. And if Pacquiao were to fight me, he'd want me to bring the draw, he'd need me to bring him millions of dollars in a pay day. But by the time I'm at that level, it will be too late [for a fight with Manny].
So how can he claim he's the best 140er then? Why are you defending his duck?
If he was confident he would beat Khan then fight against Pac, because he would be the unified 140 champ which means a more legitimate match up and promotion as the best 140 pounder.
You don't rank him #1 at JWW?
I think he is the best JWW, JMO. Clearly #1 JWW. But, yea he ducked Khan.
many did give him **** for siging for top rank and ducking khan...but now, it's understandle why he did duck khan...a khan loss would'nt have gotten him a crack at pacqauio...
Nope, the main stick he got was for ducking Khan, People knew he was going to get the Paq fight when it was rumoured that he might sign for Arum, Why? Because Arum love his in house fights, we just didn't know how soon a Paq fight would materialise for him.
