I'm not clamoring for a PAC-PBF anymore

[shza]

Furthermore, Mayweather has fought intermittently and cherry-picked his opponents since moving to 147 <b>while Pacquiao has beaten the best in the division</b>.

What? A post-plaster-beaten Cotto, a non-cheating, a post-Mosley-exposed Margarito, Josh Clottey, and Mayweather's leftovers (Mosley and a super-shot ODLH)? <i>That</i> is cherry-picking at least as bad as Floyd's (they are both guilty of it, don't get me wrong). The "best" fighters at WW at the time Pac was fighting those guys were Mayweather, Berto and Ortiz (unfortunately -- it's actually a pretty weak division after the top 2).

Even if he fights and beats Pacquaio, which he will, Mayweather is always going to be a fighter that is talked about in terms of what might have been.

This I agree with 100%. Maybe if he beats Pacquiao AND then moves up and beats Martinez he can claim "great" status. But I know that'll never happen.
