it still bothers me when haters say pacman CHERRY PICKED a weight drained dela hoya

Then why bother asking for a catch weight against Shane and Cotto? According to your logic, he shouldn't be fighting those guys.

He probably shouldn't, but if you're gonna harp on a guy for wanting to face bigger/tougher challenges & try to somewhat level the playing field that's your perogative. But I sure hope your boycotting A bigger guy floyd bringing up a guy 2 divisions smaller if thats your logic.

Basically, Pac is a cherry picker for trying to make a catchweight with bigger guys. So if Floyd is making catchweights with smaller guys WTF is he picking? Watermelons?

[M.I Truth ?]

it is not pacman's fault that over rated dela hoya weight drained himself..

BEFORE THE FIGHT PACMAN WAS HEAVY UNDERDOG.. AND NO EXPERT THOUGHT HE WOULD WIN.. BUT HE STILL FOUGHT DELA HOYA

IS THAT CALLED CHERRY PICKING TO YOU?

And it was no concern of Mannys how Oscar looked. That was not his issue. Manny took care of business. The issue that people take with the fight is that the Oscar that showed up was not the same fighter we have seen in the past. Some Manny fans would have you think it was. Like I have said before Manny is great and would still be great if Oscar would have won. SO there is no need to exaggerate the situation.

Pac fought Oscar at 147 because Oscar is a natural 154 while Pac just fought at 135.

Cotto and Mosley are natural 147 while Pac is now comfortable at 140.

Obviously, to be fair, they have to meet somewhere in the middle. Otherwise, those fighting at their natural weights will have the advantage.

Got it dude?

It's not like I approve of Floyd fighting JMM at WW. If he wants to fight JMM, fine, but fight him at 140 or 135.

he was a hand picked opponent.

roach said himself theres no way he would of let pacquiao anywhere near a
prime delahoya. just a version who couldnt even hurt the smaller forbes.

Dela**** is the one that cherry picked pacquiao. Pac just had everything fall into place.

It's obvious that you drank The Freddie Roach Kool-Aid.

Right, but how is Marquez perceived right now? As a warrior going up & fighting the bigger guy. No matter how you slice Pac's approach to catch-weighting with the WW's he's going in as an underdog regardless.

If your ok with jmm/floyd at 140 (in the middle of where they each fought last) how is that different that pac/cotto or pac/mosley also in the middle of where they last fought (between 140-147)? I dont understand.

[LilGizmo562]

Sure, the same reason Floyd doesn't fight at 154 (where he fought oscar). They do not belong inthose divisions, they only did it for oscar. hope that clears this up for you.

Agree, that is why Floyd isn't fighting or calling out any 154 pounders, Manny in the other hand is (technically its Roach and Arum) but at a catchweight, either fight them in their division or don't fight them at all.
