    I just don't like how Pacquiao has been fooling all of his fans of a late, I know he is a great fighter but recently he is leaving little to be desired.

      Pac deserves respect for fighting an unbeaten fighter. Floyd would get respect for beating an unbeaten fighter not coming off of a loss, so Pac should as well.

      All roads lead to Pac though, Bradley didnt want Floyd, as people see Floyd as a fighter coming off a layoff and dont view him as an opponent. Bradley would expect floyd to have a few more warm up fights before seeing Floyd as a potential opponent. No fighter wants Floyd other than for the payday. If you want credibility you chase fights with the best.

        I'm a Pacquiao fan I think it's likely him and Mayweather have some kind of agreement not to fight now maybe in a few years, they make as much money as they can fighting others then they fight each other later. We don't know what's going on

          I would be surprised if Floyd fights into the spring of 2013. Probably one fight after Cotto and he'll retire.

              Why should Mayweather get credit for the Cotto fight?

                giving fighters props for ish they're SUPPOSED to do is the new school way....so being a fan of the sport in the "DIVA" and "BOXING IS A BUSINESS" era we find ourselves giving props we shouldn't give.....I can't speak for ALL boxing heads but I know most dudes just LOVE the "he don't have a fanbase or sale seats" excuse to duck fights these days...oh man, that one is so new school!!!....shoutout to the oldschool...I miss it!!

                  I don't know if he deserves credit for doing what he should be doing but this is a great fight! I love Pac but this is the ONLY real fight since cotto in years so it's enough to get excited about. Top Rank has been fooling people with these "matchups" so for him to fight someone who actually can win is great, but I see where your coming from, he probably shouldn't be praised for finally taking a risk.

                      If you don't know what he's talking about you fit in right under your quote.

                      Margarito, Mosley & Marquez at welterweight is nothing to brag about, or be proud of. Especially the Marquez fight aka robbery of the year.
