if he fights marquez at a catchweight they'll say "oh why catch weight?" even if both guys weigh the same weight fight night.
if he fights martinez at a catchweight they'll say "pacquiao fighting at catchweight again" even if martinez is too fawking big for pacquiao.
as of right now victor ortiz might be a good exciting fight even if it would only last 5 rounds but then victor is golden boy and they would say still green.
i want mayweather next but after all that bullshiet mayweather pulled to avoid this fight i just lost interest too! plus mayweather fight would be awful to watch.
Cotto is YOUNGER than Pacquiao = "SHOT"
Hatton is the SAME AGE as Pacquiao = "SHOT"
Clottey is ONE YEAR older = "BUM"
Margarito is born on the SAME YEAR = "BUM"
If he beats both, these excuses will show up:
Ortiz is 8 YEARS YOUNGER = "GREEN," "QUITTER," "NOT THE SAME," "NO DEFENSE"
Bradley is 5 YEARS YOUNGER = "COWARD," "HEADBUTTER," "TUNE UP"
Just like:
Barrera was 29 years old = "SHOT"
Morales was 29 years old = "SHOT"
There are only two fighters, whom if he beats will have minimal excuse:
MAYWEATHER 34 Years Old = "PAST PRIME," "RUSTY"
MARTINEZ 36 Years Old= "PAST PRIME," "DRAINED"
Which leads us to:
MARQUEZ 37 Years Old = "PAST PRIME," "BLOATED"
being shot doesn't always mean you're old. fighters who just can't perform as good as they could before can be 30ish and considered shot or past prime. manny's age doesn't have anything to do with other fighters' age/ability either....
imo, i'd say it's like this:
DLH = shot
hatton = good
cotto = good
clottey = good, but no competition to begin with.
margs = rusty
mosley = shot
jmm (if it happens) = wrong weight class
plus, he used catchweights for some of these. i think that's what might piss people off, because actual fans know manny could've whooped their asses without catchweights (& fight jmm at 140/135). i say manny takes on bradley and judah, and then tries to unify the WW division, call it a career. that's if floyd doesn't step up and fight him. all the titleholders or top opposition at WW might not be as big names as his recent opponents, but they're legit opponents. manny can sell out a crowd against a punching bag, so against good fighters, there shouldn't be any excuses.
Of course.
But they're morons.
And who cares what morons think?
true, true.
but it can be irritating.
kinda like the mosquito the buzzes by your ear when you're trying to sleep.
i wouldn't be surprised though that IF Pac ever fights and wins against them, you'd immediately see after the fight several threads here dismissing his wins.

Only people who are simply haters don't give Manny credit for Cotto and Hatton.
Those two were clearly, world class fighters and live dogs with alot left in the tank going into their fights with Pacqiauo. There is no way you can logically discredit those fights for him.
The same applies if Manny were to annhiliate Bradley and Ortiz in similar fashion.
They may not be the best, most accomplished fighters (in their careers so far)
But what they are, are young, strong, World Champions, who has looked very good and have been winning in there recent bouts. Who also happen to be the best options available other than the obvious fighters.
Difficult to discredit them if he takes those fights.
