    Depends where Floyds head is..usually it's in his ass with all his shit going on outside of boxing.

    Pretty much why I gave up following what was happening with this fight and will continue to do so until I hear an OFFICIAL source confirm it.
    You don't think that's an excellent feat as it is. So why doesn't someone try that the way Manny did it, go up that several weight division and fight some of them at a catchweight? Do you think somebody will achieve that in our lifetime?
    I have to admit, the way Oscar did it was a lot more impressive tbh.

    +1 Oscar doesn't get the respect he deserves.
    His competition was amazing and he liked to fight the best.

    He kept losing them though.

    Both need each other for the same reasons...

    Both have detractors who constantly say they beat past it fighters, or people on the down, or weight drained, or inactive, or whatever else... Mayweather did hand pick his opponents of late, but I don't believe any of the more "legitimate" opponents out there would have caused him much more problems....

    Skill and potential wise, you cannot take a single thing away from him, regardless of opponent....

    And we're find the same thing with Pac... Even his win over Margarito is played down as a fight against someone who was weight drained and previously battered..

    Fact is, Pac and Mayweather are in a different league than everyone else.. There is no other opponent out there that will do half the credit to each others legacy and credibility, than a win over the other... Neither will get that respect from beating anyone else...
    But the fight has gotta happen soon. If for nothing else, than to keep the haters from immediately justifying the win either way by saying the other has gotten old and slowed etc...

    The fact is, Pac is in absolutely sensational form and although physically he may not be what he once was, he more than makes up for that by being in his absolute prime regarding skill and overall boxing smart..
    Mayweather, although may have slowed a bit as well and lost a bit of his athleticism, still maintains everything that made him so incredible and unbeatable over the past decade... His incredible intelligence, defence, will power, and ability to have every fighter he's faced pretty much play right into his gameplan...

    We wait much longer, and the haters will be ready to stomp out the honour of any victory, with the same nonsense they bring out for ever other opponent Manny or Floyd have faced..

    I won't argue with you on this. But Oscar would have tried to go through more weight divisions than what he had achieved, even if it involved a catchweight, if he could. But he couldn't. What he achieved is the extent of his limitation.

    So, don't you think Manny going up that much weight and still performing par excellence is in itself a feat?

    I hope you're not counting his stint at middleweight... a gift against Felix Sturm and a disgraceful grazing liver shot flop against Hopkins. Shouldn't even COUNT middleweight. That was clearly strictly for record-setting purposes.... nothing else.
