No you must be kidding. No matter who PBF fights people will discredit his win.
PAC will be called a Blown up feather weight.
Shane will be become old all of a sudden
Cotto will become overrated and was ruin by Margarito
Clottey will be said to have never really been that great in the first place
Margarito will be called an overrated cheater.
Paul Williams will be called a bum who was stopped by Quintina.

This is what the people will say. They beg for these fights to happen ie, Hatton PBF but when the fight doesn't end the way they hoped (PBF losing) they discredit the fight.
First, every fighter at the top of the p4p list undergoes increased levels of scrutiny and rightly so. Just look at Pacquiao. He is fighting Cotto at a catch weight (albeit by only two pounds). Hatton had already been knocked out; ODLH was weight-drained; (if he wins) Cotto was ruined by Margarito. It is not just Floyd.

Second, the criticism on Floyd as I said in a previous post is only because as a welterweight Floyd hasn't done very much considering that many think him to be the best in the sport.

Don't you consider it a little odd that a "blown up featherweight" (your words, not mine) is fighting Miguel Cotto before Floyd fought Cotto? Floyd has campaigned at the weight class for 5 years and never fought Cotto. This is Manny's first fight at welterweight and he is already fighting Cotto and Cotto is better than any welterweight Floyd ever fought.
Very well said
