I'm not saying he's yesterday's trash - clearly he's still one of boxing's elite.

But securing a fight with boxing's undisputed #1, a guy with whom you will earn more than you ever have in your entire career, is a big deal that should be afforded to only the most relevant challengers, and a guy who's 1-2 in his last 3 fights shouldn't qualify.

It's all about momentum. Timothy Bradley is undefeated with wins (however controversial) over several top 10 p4p guys in his last few fights. You have Marcos Maidana with huge momentum after beating Broner's ass. You've got Danny Garcia who has expressed interest in moving up. You've got Lara at 154 if Floyd wants to stay there. These are guys who have momentum.

Pac needs to gain momentum and prove to the world he's still the fighter he once was. We've never seen him get dropped and KTFO like he did in the JMM fight since early in his career. And I'm sorry, a win over Brandon Rios, a glorified blown up LW, just ain't going to cut it.

Lets see him take on one of those guys mentioned before he talks about Floyd.

And before someone brings up Khan, yeah I agree 100% that's a pointless fight too.
