Got this from another Forum.

Pac fought Cotto, Clottey and Margarito
Margarito fought Cotto, Clottey, Shane and Pac
Cotto fought Margarito, Clottey, Shane and Pac
Clottey fought Cotto, Margarito and Pac
Shane fought Cotto, Margarito, and Floyd
Floyd fought Shane.



yeah i think Pac fought most of those that he should at Welterweights. Pac fought all that Matters at 126-130. The only question should only be at 135 having only David Diaz in there.

In hindsight he can be more than forgiven for that, although I think he still makes 135 comfortably and if the Floyd fight falls through again I think he should drop down and fight JMM there providing he beats Katsidis this weekend.
If he fights JMM again even at 135, it's going to be said that Manny cherry picked Floyd's leftovers that Floyd fought JMM before Manny. And that Manny fought a old washed up fighter while Floyd fought a better version of JMM. Fact.
Lol.

I see it the other way around. Juan was Pac's leftover for Floyd (FACT!). Floyd fought a slow and bloated Juan after he cheated him on the scale. And Manny fought a fresh and comfy Juan... TWICE!

Imo, Floyd wouldn't dare go down to JMM's 135 comfort zone. But Manny would, and could win it.
That fight has passed imo. Pac needs to fight the winner of Bradley/Alexander or Berto. I would prefer the winner of Bradley/Alexander because whoever wins that fight is a top 7 or 8 fighter in the game that's also undefeated. I know Roach is saving the winner for Khan, but Manny is his bread and butter in that stable of fighters, Manny's interest should be looked at first not Khan.
That would put Roach on a tough situation. Cuz Khan is supposedly his next star pupil. But you know what. I've had enough with Pacquiao circus fights already. If Pac-May negotiation fails again, I don't mind seeing Manny clean up 140 after he fights Berto.

But what about Khan though?... Should he move up to 147?... Will he be willing to find a new trainer and fight Manny too?... Hmm... I don't know.
Roach has had success before Manny came into his gym, but it was that Filipino fighter that really put Roach out there being well known, also Manny's career is winding down. So Roach should know that who is his bread and butter and that beating the winner of Bradley/Alexander would only enhance Manny and his legacy, for I expect the winner of Bradley/Alexander to go on and do big things even if they were to lose to Manny.

Khan on the other hand, may have a Wlad Klitschko type of career. Meaning all world skills but chinny as hell and may even dominate 1 division, also Khan may even 1 day appear in most people's p4p list, but I don't see atg status in him.
