Have all 4 of pacquaios recent opponents been coming off a tremendous career changing beatdown coming into the manny pacquaio? Miguel Cotto got finished by Margarito than had a brutal war with clottey, clottey had a hard battle with judah than a total war with miguel cotto, margarito was viciously picked off by mosley than inactive for more than a year before fighting some guy I never heard of, Ricky Hatton got annihilated by Mayweather and came back and beat featherfisted paulie malignaggi. Is this fact or opinion?
Then Pac must be one tough 4 year old mofo.
He's been beaten three times already, and based on your point of view should NEVER have recovered and should by all counts not be doing what he's doing now.
wtf you on about you fugly ass sl@t, I said pacquaios last 4 opponents have been coming off either brutal late round knockouts in their fight before facing the warm up tomato can for pacqauio(hatton, cotto, margarito), clottey was never that great to start off eith lost to every top fighter hes faced. mayweather fought hatton and de la hoya when they were on top, mayweather fought baldomir and judah when they were considered no.1, and 3 at welterweight by ring magazine. at welterweight team pacquaio have been masters of picking opportunistic moments to fight what use to be solid fighters
Gatti was tailor made for Floyd.
Baldomir was tailor made for Floyd.
Hatton was tailor made for Floyd.
JMM was tailor made for Floyd, tailor made cuz JMM moved up 2 divisions.
Mosley was tailor made for Floyd, almost 2 months of training with Berto before fight was cancelled and 2 months of training against Floyd. Almost 4 months of training by Mosley with a year of inactivity, tailor made for Floyd.
Lol, comparing Gatti to Marquez and Mosley?
The fact that ur mentioning different style and saying they're all tailor-made for Floyd merely points out that a specific fighting style is not what it takes to beat Floyd, it takes the intangibles. Otherwise, u just don't know what tailor made means.
Gatti, and in ur face brawler with some decent boxing skills and a never quit attitude. Tailor made for Floyd.
Baldomir, a rugged slow boxer with less than required boxing fundamentals. Tailor made for Floyd.
Hatton, a come forward fighter with speed that likes to smother u on the inside. Aside from being wide open for the check hook that would eventually knock him out, that's actually a good style to fight Floyd with.
Marquez, a boxer/counter puncher that doesn't mind fighting on the inside. Far from being tailor made for Floyd. He may have been undersized, but that's a different story.
Mosley, a boxer/brawler with fast and powerful hands and at least a minimal understanding of boxing fundamentals. That's not tailor made for Floyd. He may have been old, but what is anyone gonna do about that? He's certainly not gonna get any younger for when he fights Pacquiao next.
Hatton, when he fought Pacquiao he was a NATURAL come forward fighter with speed that likes to smother u on the inside in the early stages of being taught to box on the outside by his new trainer. A guy like Hatton had no business trying to box on the outside against a guy like Pac. He was tailor made.
Cotto, flat footed on the inside. That's all Pac needed. If he would have boxed on the outside a bit more he would have had a great chance of winning.
Clottey... *puke. A guy that stands there and wait for u to stop punching before he throws punches of his own? Thats tailor made for Pac, and Paul Williams, and pretty much anyone else willing to throw 100 punches a round.
Margarito, a guy that comes forward with terrible defense and normally throws wide looping punches. That's tailor made for Pacquiao.
Gatti was tailor made for Floyd.
Baldomir was tailor made for Floyd.
Hatton was tailor made for Floyd.
JMM was tailor made for Floyd, tailor made cuz JMM moved up 2 divisions.
Mosley was tailor made for Floyd, almost 2 months of training with Berto before fight was cancelled and 2 months of training against Floyd. Almost 4 months of training by Mosley with a year of inactivity, tailor made for Floyd. All the fighters you named had very different styles from eachother.
Gatti= Brawler with some boxing skills.. Comming off wins..
Baldi= Tho Baldi was big and slow, he had really sound boxing skills.... A boxer and beat Judah... Comming of win
JMM= We all know what JMM does.... Boxer/Counterer. Came off 2 KO wins
Shane= Power boxer..... KOd Margs
Hatton= Mugger/Smothering attack/Brawler.....Quick not fast
Cotto= Flat footed/ Has never been the same, nuff said
Marg= Flat footed/ Last 2 fights, nuff said
Clottey= Flat footed/ Came off a loss
Oscar= Dead man walking/Looked bad against last 2 oponents..
Hatton= Rocked by Juan Lazcano his next fight after losing to Floyd
Take it like this, say there is a 4 year old child having the time of his life, enjoying play time, having friends and everything. Then 1 day on his 5th birthday that child gets abused, he gets beaten down by his father. Does the child recover from that? Most of the time no, they don't. They spend their lives thinking about that one day. It's very hard to get over because you lost your innocence. You lost your joy in life.
Now look at it in Cotto's case. He got beaten to the point where his children and his wife saw, he got beaten up to the point where he quit. How does one recover from that kind of a beating? Especially if you're a boxer and constantly people will ask you about that fight, and they'll show it everywhere, on the 24/7s, the countdowns, everywhere. You will never get over that.
It's one thing to lose a fight, it's another to get beaten down to the point where you quit. Whether you believe it or not, that fight with Margarito changed Cotto, he lost his joy.
Hatton was tailor made for Pacquiao.
Clottey never had the heart of a champion.
Margarito was tailor made for Pacquiao.
There's a huge difference from getting knocked out, than there is beaten on. When you get knocked out, well you got caught it happens. When you get beaten on and you can't do anything about it. It will kill your confidence. It will kill your joy. Say what you will but Cotto will never recover from that lost to Margarito. Ever.
Then Pac must be one tough 4 year old mofo.

what you got there is an opinion, a revealing one at that. not everyone is like you, that crumbles down and self destruct everytime you fail at something.

this happened to you when you were 4 years old?
Pacquiao is once a very poor, ghetto boy in the slum of the Philippines. How can anybody in America expect him to be where he is right now? He's life is transparent, scrutinized, criticized, demoralized, damaged, etc. in the Philippines because of his bad habits of gambling and womanizing before plus the dirty, mafia-run politics of the Philippines. If he's not a gifted and once-in-a-hundred years boxing he'll not survive the trials he'd been through. He has been cheated and abused by black Murrad and other promoters and made him sleep in the couch while the promoters sleep in the bedrooms. If he's not good he'll not stand the criticism of racial America, especially against the black people who thought only black boxers are good but nobody among them survived the lower weights where the Mexicans dominate. Genetically, the black people are big therefore they only fight in the higher weights but even then where are they now in the heavy weight division? Man, give credit to where it's due. Give respect to a third world, hardworking fighter who's uneducated and even doesn't speak English good. Really, ask yourself how many black promoters do you think will jump into Pacwagon if he will get out of Top rank if they know he's fake. Regarding Mosley as old, not prime and washed up. How about BHop, he's 40 but nobody says he's old because he just defeated younger champions like Pavlik and ODH. It depends what kind of "old" boxer you're talking about. Also consider Marquez, he's still the champion after fights with Pacquiao, so he's not an old bum contrary to many pachaters believe. Mosley is still fighting and never been knock out or even just knock down. He must be slowing down but he's still the top welterweight and a champion. Why you all pachaters saying Pacman always fight not prime, washed out, old fighters when these dudes are still on the pound for pound lists or top 10 contenders? These people got no logic but inhumanely jealous and racists. Who are the welterweights out there that are champions and popular despite the age? Berto? Bradley? Alexander? If they are really good why can't they get a fight with Mosley or Mayweather? It's because the same people who hates and jealous of Pacquiao are the same people who will not fight these "young, sleek, inner-city black dudes" because they can't pay the bills. Bigotry and purely racists!!!!I thought before black people are the defenders of other colored people against white oppressors but when you happen to get the better deal, they'll the worst enemies you've ever meet, worst than white supremacists.
i'm sorry but this isnt an english exam nobodies wasting their time reading that essay, basically your just turning this thread into some kind of race baiting thing, ish off and keep it the way it is
Pacquiao is the greatest of all time

damn you are so stupid.
cotto was coming off a win against clottey.
clottey was coming off a fight he arguably won ( i thought he lost)
margarito was coming off a win.
hatton was coming off a win and looking rejuvenated.
what a straight b1tch, Margarito got decapitated by mosley and beat some punk I never heard of before or since, Cotto got his ass handed to him on a plate by margarito who was using plaster of paris in the ring and has never been the same since and on top of that he was coming off a vicious war with joshua clottey, ricky hatton was too big to fight at junior welterweight anymore he had lose 40lbs for that fight and he actually 'kept his weight down' for that fight, all of pacquaios recent victories have lost in devastiting fashion in the fight before their last and they had a little warm beatdown of some punkb1tch to look rejuvinated to look credible for pacquaio to kick their asses, this isnt opinion poof go look up boxrec facts are facts

pac was KO'd twice before. he's a shot past prime fighter since and fighting only on pure heart :banana:
was he koed/or beatdown 1 fight before facing miguel cotto? or 1 fight before facing antonio margarito? or 1 fight before facing joshua clottey? or 2 fights before facing ricky hatton? now shane mosley.... good matchmaking for top rank/freddie the roach

Not only were they coming off beatdowns but they also clearly grew out of the weight that fought pacquaio at, hatton had no business at 140 anymore he looked like a dried fruit, margarito is a proper jnr middleweight now he looked ripped against that no name and nearly died to fight pacquaio, cotto had to lose 2 extra pounds and hes clearly a become proper welterweight/junior middleweight, Clotteys the only guy they let weigh in at his ideal weight but he was never at that level to start with. more Facts or opinion?
Haha 41-0 and lineal champ has no business at 140
