    I guess he should just line up another lightweight then.

    include international PPV in the stats and I'm pretty sure Pac trumps Mayweather's numbers.

    Well, APPARENTLY, REED was MISTAKEN...REED was WRONG...Although it's FUNNY how U DISREGARD a Difference of 25K Soooooooo EASILY, Yet 50K is Supposed to PROVE Something....Zab ALREADY Had 3 Fucking LOSSES by the Time Floyd Faced him, yet "The Mexican Assassin" vs. Mexico's CURRENT Fave ONLY Did 50K Better???...

    Despite All that, YOU & Your "Take Away the Last 2" BULLSHIT is Equally as COMICAL...THE ONLY Reason U Want to "Take Away the Last 2" is Because Floyd OUTSOLD Pac...

    Do U HONESTLY Think Bob Arum would Subscribe to What YOU'RE Saying, if Pac had OUTSOLD Floyd in his Last 2 Fights???...

    I rather see him fight Marquez or Pacquio any day then Cintron... But I do wanna see him fight Mosley or Cotto sometime after he fights Pacquiao which is most likely gonna happen since he signed this 5 fight deal with Golden Boy...There's no other fighters he's gonna make the kind of money with besides those fighters so thats why its gonna happen..

    No, the "take away the last two" is to prove why both of them are now big draws. Neither has a definitive edge in drawing power.

    This is a stupid argument, I was over this last week. :slap:

    Hey Reed, concerning your argument that Shane ducked Floyd some years earlier. Did you know Floyd also made a challenge to Winky Wright some years ago too? Winky laughed cause he knew Floyd was full of sh*t. And he was right. Floyd had no incentive to fight Winky.
    Floyd making challenges to anybody, especially Shane Mosley, is like Roy Jones Jr some years back making challenges to the Klitschko Brothers through boxingtalk, saying "100 mill and I'll f*ck Vitali up!" :laughing:
    All we're talking about is HERE AND NOW! And right now, Shane Mosley is the man Floyd should be fighting next month, not little Juan Manuel Marquez.

    Making my point...

    Mosley fought Wink with the Trinidad fight tentatively scheduled for the fall. Shane enforced the rematch clause, lost to Wink again, Tito beat Mayorga that September (the week after Johnson KO'd Jones) the next year Tito came back and embarassed himself against Wink.

    I wasn't clamoring for the rematch, but it took balls for Shane to take the fight with Wink and enforce an immediate rematch.

    As far as Floyd...I say match him with Berto. That's a welter he'd beat the dogshit out of. DiBella wouldn't let the kid get anywhere near Floyd.

    A Cotto fight would be more boring than a Mosley fight. Mosley's got a better chance at catching Floyd than aligator armed Cotto.

    The only reason Cotto landed some of the shots against Shane is due to Shane pressing the fight. Cotto's a physically strong guy and even he had trouble dealing with Shane's strength.

    Mayweather isn't a physcially strong guy, just watch the Castillo fight. Better yet, look at the guys he's selected since 2001.

    Roach isn't trying to "price" Manny out of anything or anyone. Both Manny and Roach are fully confident in Manny's chances against anyone at the right weight.

    Pac is not a welterweight..and therefor should be fighting welters ONLY at a catchweight,...just as he did DLH.

    As far as the cut....Manny Pac has earned the lion's share of the purse no matter who he fights at 145 or below.

    Manny is fan friendly, exciting and has jumped on the biggest challenges out there for him.

    That same shit cannot be said about the brash, arrogant, cocky Mayweather.

    If Floyd wants to prove that he is still best....let him and his people negotiate. If not, fuck em.
