    I have been saying some of these things (in the article) for ages: dont boost up pac's resume if you are ****ting on floyd's

    but this guy is pushing it a bit too far.

      I completely disagree with all of this. What did Pac do in the 1st EM fight that was so special? He did drop JMM but he is a Southpaw, and trust that it is a huge advantage when it comes to power punching. If Pac was a righty then I dont think he wouldve dropped JMM. Also, how can you say that no one in the top 10 could do what he did to EM, when EM had just got shutout by Raheem. If he let Raheem shut him out then he was definatly ready to be KO by a power guy and probally will get KO again tonight
      U can't say if Pac was a right paw, cuz his not, his a lefty. Disadvantage, how can it be a disadvantage? Is it against the rules to fight as a southpaw? Southpaw fighters has existed before Pac.

      Raheem fights a diffirent style, his a slick boxer, preferring to run away. I referred only to the 2nd and 3rd fight of EM and Pac. In the first fight, the cut affected Pac and EM insisted on the contract that Pac wears Winning gloves also. Why did EM insisted on Winning glvoes for Pac? There is probably a truth to punchers gloves. I am not saying Pac definitely would have won that fight. The result might be the same or it could have been a win for Pac or a draw. I am not taking away the win from EM, he deserved that win cuz he play it smart.

      As far as the fight tonight, i don't know if Diaz will KO Morales cuz i only read about Diaz, haven't seen any of his fights. If the fight will lead to a KO, it will mostly be a TKO, like the 2nd and 3rd fight with Pac.

        He called Velasquez a journeyman and the guy is only 32, and riding a decent win streak since the Pacquiao loss, including a win over brother Bobby and recently decisioned highly touted unbeaten prospect Mario Santiago.
        Since when is there some sort of age standard for journeymen? The fact that he's beaten a prospect like Santiago and has ELEVEN losses is proof that he is, in every sense, a journeyman. They are good at their craft but several rungs below the elite. On a given night, under the right circumstances, they COULD pull of the upset. Like Jesse Ferguson.

        A pretty poor argument for saying it the piece wasn't well-researched.

            there are some good points there, but I think Barrera is game and is not a washed up fighter as was mentioned. But I do think Pac needs to fight the best fighters in the division especially while he is still in his prime - dont wait until your skills have diminished...you'll regret it later.
            best fighters in the division let me ask you who else is best out there in featherwight division? isn't it barrera, morales and marquez? now pacquiao is going up to a higher weight class to find some more challengers, oh wait, he isn;t fighting challengers but he is going to fight champions. nuff said
