    Let's look at their last 3 fights.

    Canelo vs Rios - Canelo is the better fight and every one can agree with that.

    Guerrero vs Marquez - Marquez is considerably better and we can all agree with that.

    Cotto vs Bradley - We can all agree that the difficulty these two fighters bring are pretty identical.

    So the selection of opponent between Mayweather and Pacquiao are right there, 50-50.Yet only Floyd gets bashed for his selection, despite it actually being very good.

          Not just that but Mayweather's last 4 opponents will all be fresh names, while you can guarantee Pacquiao is going to rematch both Bradley and Marquez.

                he's been doing this in his entire career, it's just that more people realized it now how much of a joke his legacy is.

                    I hate the idea of the Khan fight so much and like many others, I would much rather see him fight Danny Garcia but for some reason Danny doesn't want his payday. So it's whatever.

                    I wish he would stop ducking Pacquiao though.

                      He didn't say anything that wasn't true. Im sure if he had 3 opponents to choose from and they all had similar records and the same amount of marketability he would choose the toughest one. He's just saying that some of the most marketable opponents aren't the same as the hardest so he's looking to fight the hardest at his age. and he should. He's earned the right to choose who he fights. I have no problem with the Khan fight at one time Khan was a P4P fighter that was cleaning out his division.
