    Up til his Cotto fight,Pacquiao was the man but it went downhill after that
    Both Floyd and Manny were campaigning at 147,Mayweather moved to fight Cotto cos it was a fight people wanted
    Pacquiao brought guys up weight to fight him
    Doesn't matter how often he fights,he was never chasing the challenges,just the money
    Something ye all complain about with Floyd

      Yes to an extent but when you are fighting the bradleys of this world it isnt exactly coasting. He was FOTD he can relax, no ones gonna give him beef, he werent plainning of being the Fighter of the next decade as well so forgive him.

      Floyd on the other hand let it slip, underachieved with his cherry picking, ducking, taking lay off ways. It got him into a mess so dont keep wanting Floyd to do as little as he can get away with. Youd think hed learned his lesson.

        While I do think Mayweather is too inactive and should fight more,Pacquiao's choice of opponents has been worse there for his cherry picking as you call it is less forgivable
        Pacquiao's refusal to fight Floyd has backfired after his recent performances
        It's Manny who ducked the biggest fight
        Keep clinging to that bull**** FOTD thing,cos its a popularity contest,nothing else.
        You think Pacquiao is so great but can't fight Cotto without a catchweight yet Mayweather needs to fight mw's to give you the hope he might lose
        It's pretty obvious you the better fighter is and in your own strange way,your kind of admitting it

          Floyd is scared ****less of a past prime broken leg Martinez at 160.

          We all know this. If Floyd go up to 160 it will be a 'treat' for the fans.

          A treat that will leave him Plankquiaoed...


          I will love to see Martinez KO Floyd. I got a photoshop picture ready
          for Plankquaio and Floyd side by side.


          Duran beat a bigger Barkley (much bigger) and Duran was legit shot at that point in time. Floyd is only slightly past prime and yet he won't go after Past Prime Martinez... who's like 38 years old...

          160 make money sense and it makes legacy sense. Let's see it.

            5'7 Shot Duran went up to 160 and beat a prime 6'1 1/2 MW.

            5'8 Still Elite Floyd is scared to go up to 160 to fight a past prime crippled old man?

              Floyd will be fighting a LMW not a middleweight. Sergio and Floyd are ranked about no2 and 3 behind Pac and JMM respectively so its the natural fight.

              If the no1 and 2 Pac and JMM can fight why cant the no3 and no4? But Ward is the best american anyway, but you get my point.

              People want to see it, and Floyd likes to give fights the fans want dont he? JMM called Floyd out and got his fight with Floyd. Sergio has also called floyd out.
