    And yeah he factually lost to Bradley, but everyone and their brother knows he should have won 116-112 or something like that.
    By your own admission, if Pacman isn't the same fighter that he was in 08-09, why would the fight be the same?? Just saying. IMO the ship has sailed on this fight & Floyd won't get the credit that he would have after Pacman destroyed Cotto for very clear & obvious reasons.

      He only fought in spurts vs Bradley, tired, & didn't even seem to care that he got an unpopular decision that went against him. Even when B-Hop clearly losses he cries & complains which shows that he cares.

      The killer instinct is gone, the fire is gone. The power disappeared, the desire disappeared & a win over Pacman in 2012 does nothing for Floyd compared to what it would have been at the least 2 years ago.
      smaller and weaker? he weighed 2 pounds more than pacquiao fight night. he was also listed at 5 foot 7. pac at 5 foot 6 and a half. and how the fcuk do you get outboxed when you have landed more punches?

        But, Floyd ain't the type to take tune-ups. He's gonna fight guys who either bring $$$ or name value. The guys that fit the requirements are Martinez/Canelo/Pac/Alexander (if the fight is in STL). Hell, if Josesito beats Canelo, maybe he'll be in the running to fight Floyd, never know.
        I'd like to see FMJ & Ghost....also getting rid of one too many belts is a good thing too

        If Pac-JMM IV is made for November, than I really wouldn't mind seeing Floyd fight Bradley in Nov/Dec as a "tune-up" like fight. It'd be another win over a Top prime fighter around his weight.
        That'd be a good one too, FMJ vs Bradley although i see Bradley getting ktfo!

            I honestly don't know. Its easy to say yes because Cotto was undefeated. But floyd was still the overwhelming favorite.

                Marquez was from 2 weight classes south, fighting in Pacman's division. That's a fact. Therefore he was the smaller & weaker fighter. Basic common sense.

                Are you gonna say that Josesito is not smaller & weaker than ginger because he's taller next??

                  sure, thats just my opinion on the matter anyway. i was expecting the winner of floyd hatton to fight the winner of cotto mosley in an ideal world

                    cotto saw floyd/gatti live. he saw floyd/brussels too. he made a business decision as deion sanders would say.
