Pacquiao "not interested" in Cotto or Mosley, only Floyd or Marquez

[Taeth]

The welterweight division has the winner of Cotto-Clottey, Mosley, and Berto, and maybe Paul Williams if he can get back down. I can't see any of these guys fighting Margarito again.

There is a lot of depth in the division but not a lot of big fights.

Also besides Guzman, I don't see Bradley or Holt as exciting fights for Pacquiao IMO he beats both of them easily, so do any of hte top WW and Mayweather.

IMO if he has his head on right Holt could trouble Manny, and he probably does have the power to get Pacquiao's respect, that said, i think Manny would win the fight, but it should be a entertaining fight none the less

Holt was ko'ed by Torres and won the second fight because of a huge head collision that landed right on Ricardo's chin. No offense but Pacquiao KTFO out of by far the best 140 pounder in 2 rounds. Hatton was better than Bradley(or was before getting badly ko'ed), was far better than Holt.

Only Guzman IMO has more talent than Hatton and I don't think Pacquiao should fight him before facing actual credible p4p opponents like MOsley, Cotto, Mayweather, and obviously Marquez. Bradley, Holt, and Guzman have not come close to stepping up to the top of the game, none of them have really meaningful wins like Mayweather got against De La Hoya, or Cotto against Mosley or PAcquiao against Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Hoya, and Hatton. I'm not saying Guzman isn't elite talent because he is, but the rest aren't.

but they ARE the TOP fighters in his weight class, so if he's gonna continue to fight at 140, he might as well fight the best in his weight class, instead of calling out fighters to come down and fight him while NOT at their best, and David Diaz is hardly an elite fighter now isn't he?!?

will you stop sayin this. as far as i know pacyeoww hasnt called out any of the welterweights out maybe except for floyd which i thought i've read here or on another forum just recently. they mentioned mosley and cotto as potential opponents but that's hardly calling them out.

GO JMM!

Roach and Manny both made it know that they want either fight, but don't want to step back up to 147

I think that is a very poor understanding of Team Pacquiao's position on making a deal for Pacquiao's next fight.

They make it known, they will taking a look at making a deal with one of a few top welterweights but if they want the fight they have to meet him at a catch weight and agree to the purse split.

There are some obvious advantages for team Pacquiao at the negotiating table. They can easily walk away from the table for another match and consequently they can command the higher split of the purse. Pretty much dictate all the major terms of the fight.

Given what is stated above, having leverage over the meeting weight, why would they not want to use that leverage? Wouldn't it be foolish not to?

why can't you and other wrap your ahead around weightclasses mean nothing, who cares about that. Its always been more important to fight the best fighters. Being p4p#1 means you fight the best possible guy available for you in any weightclass that is reasonable. Pacquiao is doing that.

People have were bitching that Manny was ducking Barrera in a second fight, well he made that fight, then that he was ducking Marquez, and he made that fight. People thought he was just looking for money against De La Hoya, then he destroyed him. Then people thought he was pussieing out of fighting Hatton because of financial disputes, but look what happened there. Pacquiao and Mayweather have given us the fights we've wanted at one point or another, its just a matter of time, they can't fighting everybody at once, I am sure if Manny doesn't retire should he beat the winner of Mayweather-Marquez and/or Mosley/Cotto he may face Bradley or Guzman should they become legitimate p4p elites.
