[TMTForever]

What big Welterweight has Pacquiao fought in recent years?

Algieri, Bradley, Marquez and Rios.

those are lightweights and jr welterweights..no way are they true 147lbers..clottey barely fought back and look what he did to pac's face..lmao

Running with his tail between his legs isnt a good look for Floyd, not fighting the #1 threat for ones 'title' is unacceptable and if the #1 & #2 fighters in ANY weight class dont face off there will be no 'Champ' for that division plain and simple, just contenders who are 'ranked. And should the #1 refuse to face the #2 guy, that is a legitmate DUCK.(ex: Adonis Stevenson)
At the same time, its unacceptable fpr the #2 guy to face the #4 or 5 guy in the weight class below what he currently fights at. And its also not a good look for Pac to re-sign with Bob knowing damn well his options are limited at Top Rank. Cant look good moving down in weight either especially with the talent at 147 at the moment but then again Pacs really not that big either (5'3" i believe) and if he cant secure a shot at Floyd then a drop in weight is reasonable(doesnt look good on Floyd) ill leave that up to you whether its acceptable or not.
In closing, Whether he offered or not is beside the point but shud be noted-floyd needs to man up and pac just needs to accept the offer...get in the ring MFers!!

floyd is the current ring/wba/wbc 147 champ. that means he's the lineal unified champ at the weight pac is a wbo itle holder..the onus is on pac to acept floyd's ofer hif he wants a shot at unifying the titles, and also becoming lineal at 147 which he has never done..

Yeah i agree, Floyds the #1 guy at 147 & hes been that by never having to fight the #2 guy, which is Pac. Promotional disputes noted but Floyd still didnt fight the best available opponent this past year, P4P Porter was a more solid foe than maidana at 147, porter over devon> maidana over broner. Next is khan & i understand "khan fast doe" but brook over porter> khan/devon outcome...thats how floyd is still #1 and lineal.

Mayweather wants him to go away! Manny will need to go back down to 130 than move up to 147 in 3months like JMM did to get a fight.

He became lineal by beating the #1 guy at the time, the guy that Pacquiao had the chance to fight but was "too good" for him.

I don't think they are regular boxing fans. I think they are part of TMT or is Floyd himself typing or making somebody type for him after the post is read to him. When you do everything to discredit something or someone that is obviously great, you have an agenda. Why would a regular boxing fan have that? I think Floyd is ducking Pacquiao, but even though he has not fought the best at their primes, he is obviously still a great fighter and not just a product of good matchmaking. He is not as great as he thinks he is, but he is a great, despite all his prima donna demands like gloves,etc.

Dropping facts to fans that are repeating incorrect info isn't discrediting the fighter. Only fans that want people to believe this incorrect info to heighten the fighters greatest would think it was.

Maybe so, doesnt change the fact that Pac is a clear #2 at the point. Nd yes Floyd is the #1 guy at 147 i want you to understand that i know that, but he kept that #1 spot by never having to fight the #2 guy.

Thats called "cherry picking" and both floyd AND pac do that

[Real Hero]

Floyd Mayweather Jr is 50% duck, 49% chicken and 1% turkey! HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL BOXING FANS!

[fabie]

maybe even 135 lbs....that's his natural weight back then.
