“And now the fighters are not dictated to fight the best challengers because they can make good money fighting other guys.”

He then talked about Floyd Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao to drive home his point.
“Back then you had to fight the number 1 contender regardless of who it was. When I was the undisputed champion, I had three challengers at any given time. When I was done with the mandatory challenger with the WBC, I move to the WBA, then the IBF,” Hagler pointed out. “Today they can fight the number 6 or the number 8 guy.”

“Mayweather is going to retire after a couple of more fights because there’s nobody out there,” Hagler said. “Mayweather-Pacquiao won’t have the interest it had before. Maybe they would have pulled in a hundred million dollars but that’s gone now.”

Hagler however added that Mayweather owes it to himself to fight Pacquiao.

“If he retires and he does not give Pacquiao his shot, there will always be a conversation that maybe he was afraid of him,” Hagler said. “I believe that the best way is to fight the top. The way my career led me, [I had to] fight the best. This way you feel good about yourself.”

The time has now passed and if floyd fights Pac it will be like all of Floyds other fights that he didnt fight them when he should have. We still want to see it, but only for our selfish reasons really.

As a great fight for Floyds its gone now, when JMM and Bradley have him on his resume very recently. A good win for Floyd of course, and people can stop accusing Floyd of ducking Pac for the remainder of Floyds career.

But Floyd will always be seen as a ducker of sorts, cherry picking when ripe. He didnt fight Pac when he should have

He's just stating the obvious.

ATGs like Hagler and Duran and numerous others have criticized Floyd in the past when it comes to level of competition and/or ducking Pacquiao.

When all that's said and done, if Floyd wanted the fight, he would've taken it. Too many roadblocks, too much excuses.
