    boxing needs all the top fighters in each weight division to stop being total pussies and start fighting each other. a loss isn't something to be ashamed of. it shows you took on the best and continued to grow.

    title holders should only fight guys in the top 5 ever. #1's fighting #12's for titles is embarrassing!
    I agree, something has gone missing in recent years. The 80's was a golden age as you had Hagler, Leonard, Duran, Benitez and Hearns all fighting each other. Pryor took on Arguello, Sanchez had already fought Gomez and Nelson by the time of his death, i am certain he would've fought Nelson again. We had a surge in the 90's with DLH taking on Chavez, Whitaker, Mosley and Trinidad (you can't accuse the golden boy of ducking anyone) These days it appears just a little more difficult to get organised?

    I'm hoping Floyd break that great fighter record that retired undefeated at 49-0. ROCKY something!!! Which means my list will consist of Floyd's next 8 opponents

    Cotto 43
    Bradley 44
    Berto 45
    Khan 46
    Ortiz rematch 47
    Kirkland 48
    Martinez 49
    Saul 49-1

    Floyd vs Pacman won't happen

    Your list is nice but I doubt he fights much longer. Rematch Ortiz? Why....Ortiz sucks major balls. I agree Martinez will beat him but Floyd will either never fight him or wait for Martinez to slide. In fact I think Floyd is on the slide, and hopefully cotto can show that. Cotto may not win but hopefully he can push Floyd. Floyd will either retire or pic fights he know he can win. Did Tyson, Ali, Lenore, Roy and so on pick fights they knew they could win......?

    You miss understood my list. 1st of all it's a wish list. 2nd, I think Floyd can beat Martinez, Floyd's 49th victory. But I believe Canelo is the one that will beat Floyd. Thus 49-1. Saying all that, if Cotto give Floyd any problems trust and believe one of 2 things will happen. Pacman will step up. Or Floyd will hand pick his next fight and say he needs to get sharp after being in jail. Paulie or someone on that level.

    Oh yeah, Saul is at the bottom of the list because he will have to build himself credit back up after losing to Shane this weekend.

    If Pac - Floyd doesn't happen by the end of this year, chances are it never will.

    Assuming that both Pac and Floyd win their respective fights against Bradley and Cotto, what's really left for them but to fight each other?

    I think fighters do fight one another but if there is more money to be made elsewhere in an accumulation of fights that are less risky than one fight with Floyd/Manny then that is the option they are taking. Hope they both eventually lose and if anyone of them is dumb enough to fight Martinez at middleweight they would get wiped out.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
