Pac Fight: Excuses and Answers

All I know is Pacquiao is fighter of the decade.

^LOL! Dude you can write your own article and counter the article that I have posted.

“He can’t be one of the greatest. He’s been knocked out before.” Even Joe Louis was KOd by Max Schmeling. Joe Frazier was TKOd by Ali. agreed that is a silly point to bring up “Marco Antonio Barrera was past his prime.” He was 29 when Manny TKOd him in their first meeting. I think it has long been established that age means nothing. What the "writer" also fails to mention is that Barrera was 60 fights into his career with wars having been fought already with Morales (2xs) McKinney and Jones. “Juan Manuel Marquez really beat Pacquiao in both fights.” Wrong. The two battles that were fought between these great warriors resulted in one draw and one split decision win for Pacquiao. Pacquiao actually sent Marquez to the mats four times in two fights. and yes while the scoreboards show Manny as 1-0-1 against JMM what the "writer" fails to mention is that JMM arguably has the majority of the rounds in the 24 they have fought. “Erik Morales was shop-worn and past his prime.” Morales were 29 and 30 years old when he was respectively TKOd and KOd by Pacquiao. Pacquiao is 31 with more fights under his belt than Morales, yet he is still considered to be in his prime. um like Barrera Morales had already been in quite a few wars prior to facing Manny. and if the "writer" really wants to use numbers as his basis for this article here is one about Morales he finished his career 1-5 “Oscar De La Hoya was old and weight-drained.” De La Hoya was only one year older and 8 lbs lighter than when he fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. and gave him the toughest fight of his career. It was the only fight that Mayweather failed to win by KO, TKO, or unanimous decision. this one is dumb TOTALLY dumb what the "writer" fails to mention is that the last time Oscar weighed 147....was in 2001...7 years and change. and I find it humorous that he calls the Mayweather fight the toughest of his career, again using the numbers thing, when MOST think the JLC fight was his toughest “Ricky Hatton was overrated.” Hatton had an outstanding record of 45 wins and one loss at the time he fought Pacquiao. He was undefeated as a light welterweight, and his only loss had been to Mayweather in a welter weight bout. It took Mayweather 10 rounds to finish him. Manny did it in two. see this is where numbers fail to tell the entire story. people see this as Mayweather making Hatton move up to fight him when Hatton himself chose to move up and not for the Mayweather fight. He said he wanted to campaign at 147. and also NO ONE claims Mayweather as a puncher, quite the opposite. Yet he stopped a fighter who had never been stopped and had only been down once in his career. food for thought “Cotto was damaged goods.” After the beating that Cotto suffered at the allegedly loaded hands of Antonio Margarito, Cotto went on to TKO Michael Jennings, who held a record of 34-1. In his next bout he reigned victorious in a brutal war against Joshua Clottey (35-2) despite suffering a severe cut over his left eye due to an incidental headbutt in round three. really? 34-1 Michael Jennings? bwahahahahahahaha comedy and correct me if I am wrong but didn't the Clottey fight be judged as one that could have gone either way? “Pacquiao is on steroids, or some other form of performance enhancing drugs, and that’s why he’s been able to gain so much lean weight while retaining his power.” This accusation is totally baseless. There is no evidence that Pacquiao has ever used any form of illegal PEDs. In fact, his actual fighting weight has changed very little over the past three years. agreed it's baseless......and yet is it? 11/18/2006 Pacquiao-Morales 3: Official weigh-in: 129- Fight night: 144 10/06/2007 Pacquiao-Barrera 2: Official weigh-in: 130- Fight night: 144 06/15/2008 Pacquiao-Marquez 2: Official weigh-in: 130- Fight night: 145 06/28/2008 Pacquiao-Diaz: Official weigh-in: 135- Fight night: 147 12/06/2008: Pacquiao- De La Hoya: Official weigh-in: 142- Fight night: 148 05/02/2009: Pacquiao-Hatton: Official weigh-in: 138- Fight night: 148 11/14/2009: Pacquiao-Cotto: Official weigh-in: 144- Fight night: unknown here is something that the "writer" didn't put into this the year that Ariza arrived is the year Manny ascends up the weight scale. Also, both Ariza and Teri Tom have been on record as saying that Manny 1. has to eat a high caloric diet to keep weight on 2. is the same body fat as he was at 130 so if thats the case then couldn't it be fair to assume the 130lb Manny is a vastly different version of the 144lb Manny? I mean if what his own nutritionists and conditioners say is true (and most Manny fans believe Ariza sight unseen) then his body has indeed changed from one that had to drain down in weight to one that has a hard time keeping weight on “Pacquiao is on A-side meth.” I have no facts on this because I have no idea what A-side meth actually is—or if it even exists. totally stupid and basless agreed I was recently told by a particular critic that there are only a few sources that cover boxing with unbiased credibility. The rest are fan sites and blogs. everyone is biased dont front The intended point was that the sites who praise Pacquiao are not credible. I found that interesting. well Marley and Ronnie are known Manny and Arum homies so that isnt too baseless To the hysterical and very loud minority who think Pacquiao is an overrated cherry-picker: You have every right to your opinion, but facts are facts. well not always but nice try

Good thing this thread wasn't stomped at yet by BS AntiPacs lol!

Truth right there.

i loved that
