It used to amaze me that a lot of boxing fans don't understand the concept that rankings and momentum should determine fights.

But then I remembered that boxing fans have been fed fights that don't make sense for decades by greedy promoters (which is a large reason why boxing has taken a nose dive into the irrelevancy).

When you lose two fights in a row, including one where you get KTFO and faceplant like a corpse, it takes more than a tune-up fight against an undersized, hand-picked patsy to build yourself back up.

As the #1 p4p, Floyd should be made to fight only the highest ranking guys with the most momentum. At Floyd's weight, that includes guys like Timothy Bradley, Maidana, and Danny Garcia if he choses to move up. These are fights that MAKE SENSE.

A Pac fight doesn't make sense until Pac racks up another 1 or 2 big wins against elite competition. Same with Khan, he's been knocked out and has looked lackluster in his last few fights. Fights with Pac and Khan do not make sense.
STFU, you don't know boxing if you think Pac needs to rank up and wipe out the division for Floyd again before he can get at Floyd. Been done that while Floyd was crying about not being appreciated and retiring. This is boxing. The two biggest star are Pac and Floyd and you are missing the point. Pac hasn't lost to anybody he hasn't beaten. JMM was one punch and even JMM don't want anymore of Pac. Floyd don't want this fight for a good reason.

Name a fighter that is as popular and accomplished as Pac? NONE.
