    pac beating this guy actually upped is legacy, and the money wasn't bad either

    I was equally pissed about it. Mainly because it didnt mean anything. Either way the fight went, it meant nothing to the current state of boxing, or the clarity of any given division. And it also meant the WBC 135 title would be tied up for another year while Pac "decided" if he was ever going to defend it.

      Mosley is the number one WW in the world. He is the worst match-up for Pacman. Pacman is not scared of style but he is Americans.


      Beating African-American shows your are a top fighter IMO.
      Are you dense? Beating an African-American is not a requirement for being a top fighter. Is this your criteria by the way?

      Criteria for a top-fighter:
      1. good Power
      2. strong Chin
      3. sound fundamentals
      .
      .
      .
      9. Should beat african-american fighter??? tsk tsk tsk

        Why cant Pac fans just admit thatTop Rank has no desire to match Pac with anyone who is the least bit slick? It doesnt mean the fighter is "scared" or any ****** **** like that. It means in plain english that if given the choice, they choose to match Pac with guys who will stand right there, face first, with little to no footwork or head movement. That is the style matchup that best suits Pac. Look, the last time Pac was faced with any movement and angles were the JMM fights, in which Pac went life and death twice. No big mystery there. Move to 135, fight a plodder in D. Diaz. Move to 140, fight a plodder in Hatton. Choice between anyone at 140, or Shane, or Cotto? pick Cotto.

        It is what it is. And its not about being "racist". It just happens that the one style matchup that Top Rank prefers to stay away from is the most popular style for lighter-weight African American fighters.

        The *******s are really getting out of hand. It will be nice when he loses to Cotto so those idiots will go back to watching billiards and darts.
        Umm, your boy, Nate Campbell, shouldn't talk about "the African-American style" of fighting, he's the farthest thing from a slick boxer.

        Fine, PAC has troubles w/ counter-punchers, Nate ain't. PAC would whoop his @ss, too bad, African-Americans don't support African-American fighters. Just ask Floyd. He needs help from JMM's people to sell the fight, no wonder they moved it closer to Mexican Independence day, lol.

        Mister I have a rib injury, more like, he has an injury called, I have no support from the black community, well, can't say no support at all, he does have his uncle, Roger Mayweather, lmao.

              People have some very bad definitions for "ducking" a fighter.

              IMO in order to duck a person, it must be someone mandatory to the fighter's belt, an obvious rival, and/or someone of close talent wise to that fighter. If a fighter completely ignores fighters of those requirements in order to take less lucrative and easier fights, ala Pavlik ducking Abraham, that is ducking a fighter.

              No situation like that has existed with Manny.
