Bushbaby, how is Pac cherrypicking a lightweight in Marquez when he is also a lightweight and they have had two close fights before? Marquez outweighed him in the ring but somehow Pac is the Bully. Because the judges did not agree with you does not make them blind. You are bias and they are neutral. Like INDOSMOKE said how does Pac win every round against Mosley and somehow he struggled? Again you say Pac thinks he will lose to Cotto at 154 since he turned that fight down. Newsflash, just because a fighter turns down a fight it does not mean he thinks he will lose that fight. By your logic Floyd thought he would have lost to Winky Wright, Margarito, and the rematch with De La Hoya since he turned down all of those fights. Floyd obviously thought he would lose to Pac since he turned down Pac's offer of a 50 50 split of the purse if we go by your logic.
CONTRADICTION CITY.....

SORRY Pac is a campaigning champion at welter. What the hell have you been watching??
It can be stated that Marquez looked bad in his last outing at welter against FLOYD...., and if what you say is true, then why did PAC not fight him at 140??? Why still make him come up to 147?? Heres why.
You stated this.
Bushbaby you know Pac does not think he would lose to Cotto at 154 so why even say this B.S.? He is not fighting him at 154 because he is the guy calling the shots so why should he let Cotto tell him what weight to fight at? He KOed Cotto so Cotto is the one needing the fight.
Heres x2things wrong with this comment.....
First Pac is supposedly this great warrior but he keeps fighting guys at their NOT optimal weight for belts!!!!. You see its a catch 22, he cant be P4P best when he is always fighting at catchweights... he has to fight at that weight, and even if he doesnt make that weight he cant in turn make the opponent not weigh that. Thats called CHERRY PICKING/WEIGHTDRAINING 2000.
The next thing you stated wrong was ..."COTTO NEEDS THIS FIGHT" Cotto never asked for it, he simply turned Pac down for asking for a catchweight. Manny asked for this fight with stipulations which one cannot logically argue he is pound for pound the best. Because pound for pound, he will drain you and make you fight at a catchweight. The sad thing is that to you this is acceptable...
If Floyd told Sergio he would fight him only at 147, you would be harping and hollering and rightfully so..... I expect nothing less from Floyd than 154, even though I think he will do 160..... But definitely not 153 0r less. If you want a champions belt, beat him air and square for it.
Think about it, if he knows he'll beat Cotto, why meet at a catchweight? Floyd feels Cotto is no match, and is fighting cotto for that belt at the required weight. Now Floyd may not even weigh 154 , (I THINK HE WILL THOUGH) But he is not asking cotto to match him in a catchweight either!!! He beat cotto at x1 catchweight, and many fans screamed this is why Cotto lost, and PACS answer is hey I know lets fight at another catchweight!!!! To which Cotto stated, I am not gonna drain myself for a catchweight.
Like INDOSMOKE said how does Pac win every round against Mosley and somehow he struggled?
Because he made manny look bad, cramping, he couldnt even cut the ring off on a 40 year old fighter past his speedier days, yet this is the pound for pound king?? He cant even cut the ring off and this is boxing 101. When Floyd walked him down, he didnt simply follow him, he cut the ring off!!!
If Floyd would have simply been following Mosley, he wouldnt have been able to walk him down. Floyd did it so effectively that you didnt even notice it.
Again you say Pac thinks he will lose to Cotto at 154 since he turned that fight down . Newsflash, just because a fighter turns down a fight it does not mean he thinks he will lose that fight. By your logic Floyd thought he would have lost to Winky Wright, Margarito, and the rematch with De La Hoya since he turned down all of those fights.
Again bad argument, the difference is that Pac has already beaten Cotto.... But he was beaten at a catchweight. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing looking for different results....
When put into perspective, the only fighter that Floyd fought out of those x3 was Delahoya, and Delahoya was demanding the lions share of the cash again, even though he had just lost and was no longer a title holder. Margarito was at a point when Floyd couldnt dictate anything as his promoter, the same ass hat (ARUM) that didnt wanna give him what he asked for vs delahoya and thought that fight would not do any numbers, but its a record still set today!!!
Man you have horrible comprehension.
PAC IS THE CHAMP, YET KEEPS REQUESTING CATCHWEIGHTS ON PEOPLE YOU STATE HE KNOWS HE CAN BEAT.... THE QUESTION NOW IS WHY?? And dont give me that ***** because he can.... Thats a poor excuse for the man callin himself the best.
The facts are pac has a history of this...
