Hatton too good/50-50, not an easy fight, etc.. vs anybody at light welterweight.
Cotto too good/50-50, not an easy fight, etc.. vs anybody at welterweight.
Clottey good, 50-50, not an easy fight vs anybody at welterweight.
Margarito too good/50-50, not an easy fight, etc.. vs anybody.
Mosley too good/50-50, not an easy fight, etc.. vs anybody at welterweight.
But then against Pacquaio vs the above fighters! Pac became a cherrypicker, fought only shot past prime fighters, :pat:
It's the same problem Mayweather has. Both Pacquiao and Mayweather would have to do something crazy like beat Martinez at 160 to impress people. They are too good to get full credit beating anyone realistic, even each other.
I agree and I often refer to it as the "Jordan/Kobe" effect.
I say this because Jordan and Kobe in their prime were so good that they made great defenders/teams look mediocre. Manny and Floyd are so much better than anyother WW that when they do dominated them, people think those guys just aren't that good, when it couldn't be further from the truth.
TBH I don't think Mosley is as bad as most are making him out to be. Any version of Shane would have struggled against Mora, and I honestly don't see Floyd vs Shane looking any different whether they fought then, 5 years ago etc.
Look at the fighters he beat and the lead up to those fights and rethink that post.
I agree. I garuantee you he wasn't saying that prior to those bouts.
Cotto, Hatton, Mosley and Margarito were all coming of their biggest loses and all looked like **** fighting bums before fighting pac. Hatton looked good in the pauli fight but pauli is still a bum.
Actually if you use your brain a little bit. All the above fighters you mentioned won their last fights against good fighters far from a bum you trying to portrait just to discredit Pac wins. Take note also, Their losses were coming from each other except Hatton who lost to the former p4p#1 vacationer. What can you expect when they fight the best in their division, draw or win both? Of course someone will have to lose but it doesn't mean they are shit fighters like you trying to make us to believe you.:spank:
actually each of those fighters who coming of wins.
Hatton came after a dominate win over pauli.
Cotto won after a close battle with a dangerous boxer like clottey who gave a prime Marg some trouble. Clottey was actually a respected 147 fighter until pacquaio embarassed him.
Clottey was said being robbed by cotto. Clottey is one of those fighters who gets robbed so many time.
The only fight i dont give pacquaio credit is Oscar and marg.
Cotto,Oscar,Hatton and Margarito actually came off wins. If you want to say Cotto got a gift well then you would have to say Clottey came off a win so they would cancel each other out. The Margs fight at 150 for a belt was a joke and this Mosley fight isnt what i want to see but lets not discredit what he has accomplished even if every fight isnt top quality.

Cotto = 4 to 1
Clottey = 6 to 1
Margo = 6 to 1
Mosley = as high as 9 to 1
Who says these are 50/50 fights?? The pro's say otherwise.........
thats only after he stopped dela hoya and ktfo hatton. most pro's learn easily from their mistakes unlike flomo's.
Pac was the huge favorite going into these fights who cares what the odds were with other fighters. Most of those guys were coming of their biggest loses too.

Yeah this right here both are so talented nothing they do short of beating each other or Martinez at 154 will be given full credit.

What about Oscar and Hatton? Who did you pick to win Cotto vs Pac?
I think Oscar was favourite in their fight, and Hatton was underdog, but it was more like 3 to 1.
Regardless Pac beat some good fighters. I see them as somewhat made to order but he's won impressively, so he deserves credit. I just take issue with the TS implying they were 50/50 fights. It's like Larry Merchant.....he can't stop praising MP in these fights and he is overwhelming favourite, whereas when he called the Mayweather vs Mosley fight he brang up the odds to basically **** on Mayweather.
Cotto = 4 to 1
Clottey = 6 to 1

Shame he fought them at a catch-weight after they've all come off losses.
Arum/Pacman trying to cheat history.
Look at the fighters he beat and the lead up to those fights and rethink that post.
