Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr: Beating Rios Don't Get You a Floyd Fight!

[richardt]

Guerrero is a four weight champ and was, at worst, top 5 at welter. I think Floyd Sr's point is that the Rios win means little and that if he wants to vie for a shot at Mayweather, he should face a top welter or junior middle.

No, Guerrero beating Aydin is no more impressive than Pac beating Rios and Guerrero himself does not even compare to Pac's resume and drawing power. Get real.

Guererro is a 4 wt champ? at what weights? oh yes, if you want to include interim titles - beating katidis and Aydin for interim titles - I think we can agree not that impressive. BUT, Manny's multiple titles at mult weights ont count to Floyd sr. - all we care is that he lost to JMM, and beating ios isn't enough, OK?

You're comparing Guerrero and Manny which means you aren't comprehending what I'm saying. As much as you try to bash Guerrero, he's better than Rios. And unless Manny is willing to take a steep pay cut and get paid what Guerrero got, he'll need to up things a bit.

BUT, neither should beating aydin, berto, trout etc, get you a fight with Floyd either.

I'll wait to hear from lil may since he's all about the MONEY and a fight with Pac as we all know will bring him the biggest pay day ever. Unfortunately, thats lil mays bottom line...

floyd is a champion at 147 and 154. these guys fight at 147 and 154. Rios fights at 140 and moved up to 147 for the 1st time, and lost.

SO while we agree floyd sr. is an idiot and should be ignored, if we take floyd and manny out of it, i think beating top ranked guys in weight classes earns a fight more than beating a ranked guy in a class below.

Name for name-agreed.

That said, Ghost beating a ranked ww at ww has to mean more than Manny beating a ranked jww at ww.

Maybe you should read the rest of my statement. Maybe.

if pacs team really wants it. then why after using mayweathers name to promote their fight,pac saying that if he beats rios then mayweather is next,and roach said that if manny looks good then he wants mayweather next. then it all happened like they wanted to. then they announced pacs next fight is in april ? the entire boxing community knows that mayweather returns in may. the cinco de mayo weekend is already booked. pacquiao continues to duck mayweather simple and plain.

Man this thread is hilarious. Berto and khan deserves Floyd and Pac doesn't lol Now that makes plenty of sense hehehe!

Mayweather's - no PAC at all cost, Khan your next!! Hehehe!

Mean more??? Hell no. Maybe the same but not more. And meaning the same does NOT make Guerrero any more worthy of fighting Floyd than Pac, period. This is not up for debate whatsoever.

Beating Rios doesn't get you a shot at Floyd. Beating Berto does.
