Manny pacquiao and his opponents

One of the top fighters and most talked about today is Manny Pacquiao, not only for his tremendous success in the ring but his public image and ability to fluctuate weight to an extent that many of us have not seen in boxing. Manny is a top fighter who is currently fighting fighters that are either on their decline or are fresh off at least one loss. With these few things said about Pacquiao there is another name to be mentioned and that fighter is Floyd Mayweather, although Mayweather can often be a very annoying character and at times a boring fighter to watch , he has been fighting the winners of many big fights as to where Manny usually fights the looser, most of this in my opinion is because of bob arum, CEO of top rank promotions and the manager or should i say owner of Manny. often times with foreign fighters and young hungry fighters arum steps in to control not only their money but career, as Mayweather continues to fight the winners, arum sets Manny up for what he believes to be a low chance of loss fights for Manny. with Manny looking to top off his great career with one more memorable fight i believe he is personally staying away from a man who he has unsettled business with to say the least, this fighter is Juan manual Marquez , the current lightweight champion of the world and in many people’s eyes the best lightweight in the last 5 years, this is a man who Manny had a draw with then got a split decision over Marquez by a single round. many people ringside and who have seen the fights would argue that Marquez beat Pacquiao, Pacquiao left the lightweight division immediately after these 2 fights, i personally have never seen a pair of fights closer than the two fights between them. a draw and a one round swing split decision equals unfinished business. although the fight would bring many boxing fans to the TV for a great pay per view, it would not draw enough money to make bob arum happy, as long as Bob arum is a part of the picture this important fight will not happen and Manny will still fight the losers of big fights until he agrees to drug testing as he and all athletes should. with all of these things said i personally just do not see Mayweather and Pacquiao meeting in the ring, money talks but the power of promoters is more powerful then the fighters themselves , fighters should fight who they want to fight not who tells them to.
