Nobody was asking for a Pac/Floyd fight back then because in 03-06 while Manny was having classic fights with Barrera, JMM and Morales it was at featherweight/superfeatherwight.Of course I knew who pac was, but guess what, nobody was asking for the fight back then, because he clearly was eve worthy to be mentioned
pac was a gatti style crowd pleasing brawler, who took beatings too, which is why there was the suspicion of roids when he rose from just being another guy
Plus no one back then really was looking for Floyd like that to be mentioning him as a "big fight" opponent anyway.
