He is boring, a lousy PPV attraction, he has carefully and I REPEAT CAREFULLY PICKED HIS OPPONENTS OVER THE YEARS, not to say he was scared of anyone but he did always manage to take the least dangerous bouts available in the perspective divisions since his 135lb days.
Floyd is fooling no one the reason he went with Marquez has nothing to do with him being called out or a fight with Manny not being able to be made or as a Warm up. Because no one not even PBF believes Marquez is a warm up.
Floyd took this fight to use as a measuring stick, Marquez has been Manny's biggest challenge and closest in beating him since Morales
Mayweather wants to see how much trouble Marquez gives him to get an idea on what Manny will be like
Your post is laughable to say the least. Do you remember not too long ago that JMM not only called out Pacquiao but basically begged him to fight him a third time? Pac went with none other than David Diaz, a very average 135 pounder for I am sure less money. So, no one can claim he was going after the best by avoiding Marquez, and he did avoid him. Next up were the skeletal remains of Oscar. THIS IS CALLED CAREFULLY PICKING YOUR OPPONENTS AS WELL when the obvious best fight at the time was JMM, certainly better than David Diaz. As far as Pac and Floyd fighting, I would say, his promoter, Arum, does not want any part of Floyd. That is why he has all ready stated that Pac should get more money if the two fight before Floyd fights Marquez and even a 50/50 split is not acceptable for a Floyd/Pac fight. He knows Floyd will never fight unless he gets at least 50/50, but Floyd will want more than 50/50. If Floyd does better than Pac versus JMM there is NO WAY he will not demand more than Pac or take less money. Floyd is very arrogant and considers himself to be the king and the fight will be very difficult to make and Arum knows this. You can call Floyd boring if you want, and I can agree with that to an extent at times, but Arum knows Floyd will use a boring, tactical style to beat Pac and I highly doubt he wants to see that occur.
The only thing laughable are your last 33 post, In case you don't know and it is obvious you don't, DLH went after Pacquiao not the other way around, Manny is the much much smaller man and jumped up 2 divisions to accept the challenge and to top it off he only had 1 fight at 135 so the combination of the 2 make it a pretty impressive feat.
Before the bout between Pacquiao and DLH no one was saying anything about DLH being washed up or drained in fact it was the opposite, it was all "Oscar is just too big" but because DLH could not handle making the weight Pacquiao all of a sudden went looking for a weaker DLH? Since when has anyone been the one to choose DLH as their opponent Oscar calls the shots in that dept.
And your excuse for the Hatton destruction is? Since Hatton was undefeated at 140 and had been the man in the division for the better part of 3 years without question but I suppose Manny cherry picked that fight as well?
A draw and a win over Marquez then Manny jumps a division up to fight a WORLD CHAMPION!!!! who at the time his only other loss was to Kendall Holt a massive puncher and the loss came at a higher weight class.....
I suppose PBF facing Gatti instead of any odf the other title holders at 140 was a better matchup right? A shot Gatti to top it off
PBF is now and always has been a lousy PPV draw FACT!!! The numbers don't lie sorry
Seems you spend a lot of time here hating on Pacquiao about 85% of your post thus far are about taking away from Mannys ability and trying to make him sound over rated....
Seems you are nothing more then a hater....Don't get me wrong a fan bou is just as bad but you make a fool of yourself by trying to make Pacquiao sound over rated and as if he is just a run of the mill fighter or if he avoided Marquez by not fighting a third fight right away
The fact PBF is such a lousy draw regardless of in ring skills shows to make money he is the one who needs to accept the biggest fights available
PBF retired did he not? Because he comes back the sport is supposed to stand still at his mercy? Sorry does not work like that and again he is not the draw so he is in no ay in a position to demand anything when it comes to splits
These guys can nget paid just as much in fights without Floyd
Where was old Money Mayweather when Williams, Margarito, Cotto were all available?
