My question is: Why can't they fight each other now in order to develop name recognition n demand for those two to fight the winner? It was the same when Oscar was the cash cow in the late nineties. How many fights were lost when Quartey, Tito, Sweet Pea, Norris...etc., waited for the big money fight vice fighting each other? Manny and Floyd have both fought some tough competition to get to their level, Thurman n Porter should do the same.
What's with this "Manny and Floyd" bullshit

They are on a different level headed in different directions.

Let Manny fight somebody at Welter that isn't with TR or just moving from 140.

Manny is the one that should fight Thurman or Porter.
