Why are most of Pacquiao's opponents recently been 30+ in age?

Pacquiao himself is 30+. Failed thread! ahahahahahahahahaha

I f*cking hope that Pac takes those guys next, especially since Marquez now says the fans don't want Pac-Marquez III. Just so it becomes painfully obvious how far beneath Manny's level those guys are, especially Andre. Guy is a poor man's Shane Mosley with less power and not even a fraction of the chin. EASY KO 5. Bradley would be more interesting, but still an easy fight. Could see it ending up like the Clottey fight where Tim is shell-shocked by the speed and movement and just curls up in a ball, or tries butting his way out of it. But believe me, and you know it's true, there will be those saying that they were overrated (which they are) and green and Manny was cherry-picking. But doesn't matter, Pac is literally running out of guys to fight. He wants to step in the ring 5-6 more times, his choices are pretty limited and he'll have to take them on. So bring it. I think Pac stops Berto in 6 but guess what fights are won in the ring not on paper. And, Pac would have to prove that he can beat Berto in the ring. But, the way things are going, he will never step in the ring with Berto. Unless Berto gets KTFO prior. Haters are going to hate regardless. But, you're sounding so much like Floyd fans. Saying stuff like "Floyd will never get credit" you pretty much saying the same thing. And, it's true because Floyd haters, will never give Floyd any kind of credit. And, you know it's true. But, just because dumbass retarded haters won't give Floyd or Pac any credit doesn't mean it's OK to go on vacations or fight tune ups every year or go on fight often against old washed up recycled fighters. Because, that's what both fighters are doing and their fans, not real fans, but their extremist fans are OK with it. And, have excuses for both. Which is BS. He should be fighting Berto next, the fight on May 7th should have been against Berto not this BS fight against Mosley. But, is sad that Pac will not be fighting against none of these guys in the near future. Because, Pac will be fighting either JMM after Mosley or the winner of Marg-Cotto 2...Which is F'ing ridiculous. It's a pretty much sham of what they're doing to the sport. And, it's worse that the fans are OK with it smh. And, neither one is overrated. Berto is not even rated really to be called overrated, and Bradley is not overrated at all. He's proven...But, are they going to get a fight with Pac? Nah....Later this year we will watch Pac VS JMM or Marg-Cotto winner. And, we going to continue making excuses for all.

So much BS, yes TS is actually correct, is on this fighting old washed up recycled fighters. The only prime fighter that Pac might face will be JCC Jr, that's it...And, I don't get why some of you guys make excuses. You know damn well fighting prime fighters like Berto and Bradley will be great. There would be no excuses of calling them green. Stop that, stop making excuses. It's OK to be a fan of Pac. I'm a fan, and calling Pac out on his BS doesn't make none of you guys any less of a fan. I honestly don't get when exactly Pac fans became just like Floyd fans. They use the same damn excuses. Is F'ing ridiculous. I f*cking hope that Pac takes those guys next, especially since Marquez now says the fans don't want Pac-Marquez III.

If an Up and comer can get past the Gatekeepers he is going to get a shot at the big Boys ..Most of the Time it takes tell a fighter is in his 30's to reach that point. No conspiracy..

yeah and if he fought and beat this up in comers.. you would just spew some sh*t like "oh he is picking on some green, young kid.. he should fight someone battle tested" Exactly. They'll scream for Pac to take on guys like Andre 'the hobo assassin' Berto, and when he does and wins easily it'll be 'buh buh buh Berto was an overrated green bum who never fought or beat anyone'. They've got all bullsh*tting angles covered.

pac having 4 lineal title belts in his resume defeats this opening thread.

manny is 30+...am i missing something??

My goodness....when was the last time this sea urchin fought a young up and coming fighter? This dude is a fraud to the max who's been fighting has-beens and shot fighters...it's ridiculous...he should fight a guy like Mike Jones atleast. http://www.threadbombing.com/data/media/73/madx.gif

Lopez with the upset...I sense it, no reason why but I think Lundy is overated mainly

Mayweather's 20th or 25th ""fight was against a gy who'd had about 20 losses. And this guy gave him HELL, and I think it was the best fight I ever saw Mayweather in. The rest of his career is "so-so" by comparison. Talk about watching "paint drying"......Hmmm. Felipe garcia

yeah youre absolutely..... http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=725&pictureid=9338

No need to fight up and comers when you on top. Floyd don't do it so why should Pac? Mayweather's 20th or 25th ""fight was against a gy who'd had about 20 losses. And this guy gave him HELL, and I think it was the best fight I ever saw Mayweather in. The rest of his career is "so-so" by comparison. Talk about watching "paint drying"......Hmmm.

Manny's legacy has been made off of washed up mexican legends and guys coming off of brutal loses, this should not be a suprise to you in 2011. Manny, along with his fans, are a disgrace to boxing. No his legacy is made by what he did to Barrera, Morales, prime Cotto, and the 2 wins against a prime Marquez. And the fact that he went through nearly all his other opponents like a hot knife through butter.

OH BY THE WAY MANNY IS 32 last time i checked 32 is older than 30.. THIS THREAD= FAIL lolol....nice post :notworthy

My goodness....when was the last time this sea urchin fought a young up and coming fighter? This dude is a fraud to the max who's been fighting has-beens and shot fighters...it's ridiculous...he should fight a guy like Mike Jones atleast. Floyd's opponents age when they fought him Hatton - 29 dlh - 34 jmm - 36 mosley - 38 baldomir - 35 ------------------------------------------ What about Floyd man? For crying out loud.......lol

up & coming fighters were all fighting themselves in order to have a shot at those at the top tell me, who among the top 5 p4p fought up & coming fighters during their last 3 fights?

why the hell would he fight an up & coming fighter at this point? been there done that. You reach the top like Pac & Mayweather you don't fight up & comers. You fight stars/champions/big names Couldn't have said it better myself.

If Bradley beats Khan (he won't, but if he does), Pac will KO the 27/28 yr old inside 3 rounds. Pac just fights whoever is put in front of him, but whoever it is, best believe they are in all likelihood going to lose.

^^^ This guy here started watching Manny after the DLH fight. :rofl: Sure buddy...keeping telling urself that Pacquiao has been fighting legit contenders and i'll keep telling u he's not an all-time great...just a product of Arum's superb marketing scheme to trick people into buying ppvs....just look at Arum's interviews...."feel good story" and "better than Ali" BS about Pacquiao.
