Pac already proven his p4p greatness and Floyd aint the boss of him.
Pac made 40Mil for the Rito nonsense?

Can you and do you REALLY feel that Pac proved his "greatness", name 1 fighter out of his last 6 that was ACTUALLY a challenge. I mean, there's video of even ROACH talking about every fighter he's beaten and pretty much agreed with those that say Pacman is fighting past their prime, shell fighters. So seriously, and I'm not trying to be a mean spirited. But lets take a real look at his last 6 fights.

In NO order

Rito
Hoya
Cotto
Clottey
Hatton
Diaz

None of those fighters posed a threat, not 1. All were either weight drained, past their prime, have been KO'd, abused, questionable losses......I mean really. Other than the "names" having clout, none of those fighters really posed ANY threat or were worth watching.
You shouldn't dismiss Pacquiao's $40M earning as non-sense. While his purse for Margarito was somewhere in the $25 Million neighborhood, he will have surpassed that with his purse earnings from the Clottey fight for 2010. Pacquiao's name brand would most likely eclipse that number on an annually basis in about 7-10 years and continue to climb as his legend grows. If your going to refer to anything as non-sense it should be P4P rankings of the active fighters.

Margarito was in the fight until the ten round and could have ended the fight in any round up to that point with a single blow. He was not even close to being drained and possibly in his best shape ever and he had to be to take that kind of punishment. It was really a good fight to watch. Dela Hoya was just too smart for his own good. It was only Roach that said it was going to be a beat down, which is the reason he's dominated the trainer of the year award. Imagine the great Angelo Dundee was on the wrong side of Roach's prediction and he wasn't the only great there. The betting odds on that fight were like 5:1 and boxing analysis had the fight at 6, 7 and 8:1. After Dela Hoya, the opponents Pacquiao has been facing have all been bigger and bigger fighters in that order which is why his greatness is considered proven.
