Floyd Sr. says Manny looked so good because Rios sucks

[BIG GUNZ]

I don't get how he can say Manny don't deserve the fight after beating Rios. Yet Guerrero got the fight after beating Andre ****in Berto.

baldomir ****** too , but did floyd looked good ?..he ran, sr. must've missed that..

the funny thing is they both boxed their opponents with manny looking much much better....

They all looked nervous when confronted with the prospect of Floyd having to fight Manny now. I see the same thing here when Floydiots comment.

I'm not comparing this to Rios. Obviously Rios alone doesn't make Manny deserve a fight with Floyd. What I'm saying is though, it's not as if Canelo had some sparkling resume. Make no mistake. Canelo's fan appeal and marketability is why he was chosen -- not because he "deserved it". Guerrero was more of a Rios type tune up for Floyd. Anyway, Manny's full body of work is better than Canelo's. Better than Guerrero's. Better than Khan's. Better than anybody out there. Does the KO erase all of that?

And even if your answer is yes to that, isn't this at the end of the day prize fighting? Isn't Floyd Mayweather Jr's middle name "Money"?

This is the biggest money making fight STILL to this day. And by far. Nothing else is even in the same galaxy.

So WTF is up with all of the road blocks? And no, I'm not foolish enough to sit here and say that it's all 100% Floyd's fault. Of course Arum & Manny have a role in that as well. But damn bro, it sure as hell don't seem like the Floyd camp is eager for what would be the biggest payday of his life and what is also supposedly "easy money"

You tried to equate whether directly or indirectly, that Rios was like Guerrero and Canelo. But they are way different. They both EARNED the Mayweather fight. Rios did NOT earn the fight Pacquaio. Rios was not champion, hadn't beat anyone @ 147, was coming off a loss, etc. So Rios shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Guerrero and Canelo, both of who earned their shots.

Does Pacquaio deserve the shot more than Guerrero and Canelo because of his accomplishments -- yes. But Bradley and Marquez deserve it too. The KO doesn't erase Pacquaio deserving the shot, it just makes the shot less desirable. And of course, it's a better fight than Amir Khan. I don't think the fight will happen though because there's just too much bad blood between Floyd, Arum, Golden Boy, Haymon, Showtime vs. HBO, etc.

Floyd dislikes Arum so much that he says he won't watch a PPV by Top Rank because he doesn't want to put money in Arum's pockets. I'd like the fight to happen, but don't think it will.

Marquez was lighter then Pac and look what happened. Apparently Marquez wasn't there to be hit which becomes a problem for Manny. Manny should have stuck fighting guys like Rios or end up like VVVVVVV

Rios didn't beat anyone @ 147 and was coming off a loss.

Guerrero beat Aydin for the interim belt @ 147 when Aydin was undefeated. By the win alone he came Floyd's mandatory opponent. Guerrero then beat Andre Berto to increase his stock to get the Floyd fight.

Rios did NOTHING to earn the fight with Pacquaio @ 147.

Pissboy might have been hit more, but atleast he didn't show up to go to sleep.
