    Stop it with that nonsense. Did we see Floyd take on Sergio Martinez who was ready to do a CW? Last time I checked Martinez and other who are not Top Rank related, didn't get the return call from Floyd.
    Listen and listen close............

    Any fighter signed to Top rank during the time Floyd left top rank.........never were options for Floyd until Bob was out of the way.

    Less risk my a$$.
    And how is Manny such a big risk? He has been Ko'd by Marquez.
    Cotto never been put to sleep like that before Floyd fought him.

        Number of fights at 147 before facing Floyd:
        - Ortiz = 1
        - Hatton = 1
        - Marquez = 0
        - Guerrero = 2 (but one went back down to 140 after that)
        - Sharmba = 1

        Who is next for Floyd?
        - Khan = 0 at 147
        - Garcia = 0 at 147

          How many fights at 147 did Floyd have before that fight its a real easy answer.

            He said initially and then backed down when Dibella and Arum sat down to try and negotiate a berto bout..he met him in person and then there came the video of Sergio in the gym stating "he's smaller than people think he is". Folks forget Pacquaio doesn't even belong at 147, like literally does not belong there..most guys fighting at 140/147 are walking around at 160 plus easily. I've always found that crazy personally and one of the things I hate about the sport. I've believed in mandatory cut off weights for ages, ever since I heard Vargas was walking around at 180 coming down to 147.

              Martinez said that Manny is small so he preferred going after Floyd. Similar situation with P. Williams.
              Martinez was so thirsty for money, he'd say anything. Hopkins is also calling out Floyd. Even Andre Ward called out Floyd. So I suppose Floyd is ducking Hopkins and Ward too since he didn't respond to them.

              Fact is Martinez won't even fight Miguel Cotto at 154 lbs, despite the fact that Cotto is the bigger draw. Sergio has to work very hard just to make 160 lbs.

                Pacquiao should fight at least one more time before even thinking about stepping in the ring with Mayweather.

                  You know who's seeing the real money in all of this? Arum, HBO, Showtime, Oscar & Haymon.

                  I can't imagine what their checks look like.

Now please show me proof, actual video proof of Pacquaio saying he wouldn't take tests..because I can find videos of him saying he'd agreed to everything including the ring size and glove size for the fight to happen. I'm full of crap funny enough you are the male groupie in here acting like it's ok to say I won't fight him because of his promoter....Don King and BHop hate each other yet BHop has fought how many of kings fighters? Exactly you can take all them excuses and shove them right up there where the sun don't shine. Damned noobs to the sport...the best fight the best without any excuse that's real boxing. PERIOD!
                    Let me get this correct.
                    You mean to tell me that Manny chooses his fights and that bob has no say so?

                    Go to sleep cuz you sound ******.
                    Everybody knows that Bob tells manny when he is fighting and who he is fighting.

                      I have yet to hear Pacquaio say I won't fight someone because...can you say the same about Floyd? Again not a fan of either but let's pull some fanboy cards for the fk of it. You think a man not fighting another man because of someone else is respectable? In all flat out honesty? Who gives a fk who picks his opponents? Honestly, he's fighting anyone and everyone they've put in front of him without bullshhhh excuses.
