Maidana got to go to bat twice only because he exposed the immature Broner.
Manny's Bradley rematch should be enough for Floyd to put up or shut up regardless of his prior defeats.Comment

How many HALL OF FAME FIGHTERS have been ko'd in their respective careers? In order to get to the "throne", you have to beat berto and broner, then you get the magic fight.Comment

Interesting, let's break it down further. Were they K.O on the front or back end of their careers.
None of the elite fighters I can think of were getting knocked out by journeymen when they came up, it was always on the decline they started to lose. They started out elite then faded not the other way around.
Ward, Ali, Tyson, Mayweather, Frazier, Foreman, SRR, SRL, Duran, Hagler, Benitez, Hearns, Holyfield, Jones Jr., never had those types of losses on their record until much later in their career, and some of them have yet to taste defeat.
If your going to pick at who they beat to get a fight with Floyd you have to look at all the variables as well. I don't care if you don't like fighter A B or C if your beating champions to get to Floyd you earned your shot, if your his mandatory you earned your shot ( forcing Manny into a mandatory spot for beating Brandon Rios does not count either.
Look at what Manny has done outside of fighting the same fighters at WW that Floyd faced when they are well on their downside (especially Oscar the zombie De la Hoya).
Manny has beaten:
Josh Clottey
Margarito in a fight for a belt that was literally made up for him so he could avoid Sergio Martinez
Brandon Rios
Chris Algeri
Tim Bradley
Thats not the resume of someone that deserves a fight with the P4P title holder.Comment
