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.

I never said that other fighters don't get scruntized. Yes you could make those arguments about PAC but people never do. Thats my whole point. What you said was correct but people don't make those points about PAC.

I wasn't calling PAC a blown up feather weight. What i was doing is saying that what others will call him. Yes i do think it is odd that PAC is fighting cotto before PBF. PBF should have fought Cotto by now but expect those fight to coming soon. PBF first wealter weight fight was late 2005. he retired in late 2007 early 2008 so lates stop with the 5 year thing that everyone keeps throwing around. 5 years would be late 2005 to late 2010. even if PBF hadn't of retired it hasn't been 5 years yet.
I can't believe how many excuses you guys make for floyd not fighting top level welters. I don't say top names because top names doesn't necessarily mean top notch anymore.

Do you realize how ridiculous it sounds for you to say that he didn't get a chance to fight these guys because he retired? Nonsense!!

Truth is that he came back because he saw Pac on top of P4P rankings and he thought to himself, "Now this guy is small enough to take a chance on". Just like when Ricky called him out, and Marquez called him out. He was happy to take those fights but when Shane told him to his face, all he could do was utter or should I say stutter a few useless words to prove he wants no part of any of the top guys in his weight class.
