Is anyone else surprised that PBF hasn't called Pacquiao out?

    He's too busy killing Mexican's. Plus, he beat the shit out of Ledwaba when previously Ledwaba looked like a damn good fighter...so there's the African part.

    True. 112/115/118/122/126/130. Home of the free and land of the blacks. It´s also pretty shocking Kelly Pavlik has never fought an Asian fighter and Vitali never fought a South American fighter.

    ledwaba was a good fighter and pacquaio butchered him. I remember asking roach about ledwaba as an opponent before the fight and he was confident pacquaio would win due to his big edge in footspeed among, other things.. ledwaba had slow feet he said, and it was indeed the case. pacquaio pretty much always has that edge which wouldn't be as pronounced against a guy like mayweather jr.

    Pretty much. :lol:

    However Pac could fight Bradley or Campbell.

    Unless Mayweather "unretires" the next logical opponent is Hatton though. More prestige and more reward.

    well this response was expected. you couldve at least used some better examples. outside of a handful of opponents, klitschko and pavliks collective opposition has been shit.

    Floyd would knock Manny out in 4-5 rounds.

    Is this the resume shitting game?

    If Pavlik beat Hopkins everyone would have considered that almost meaningless as well.

    Who should Pavlik and Klitschko fight that are more worthy?

    You make it sounds like there was a lineup of quality fighters they could have fought.

    The "handful of fighters" both guys beat were about the best available, especially when you factor in mandatory defenses/

    Yup. Pavlik's had to navigate 160 like a Cambodian minefield to avoid all those highly ranked Asian middleweights.
