Why does Pacquiao get a pass for fighting bums like Clottey,Rios,Algeiri and Vargas while Canelo gets hate for fighting Yildirim who's a mandatory

[sunny31]

those weren't the best fights on his record, but pacquiao started at 105 lbs and could make 140 and probably even 135 today if the money was there. of course a guy who is naturally 2-3 weight classes smaller than his rival, floyd mayweather, will get more credit for fighting the same guys. it's a big deal.

and josh clottey had just given a still viable miguel cotto fits and was one of the guys floyd mayweather didn't want to fight during his first retirement. he was 170 lbs in the ring against prime and surging antonio margarito, a guy floyd mayweather ducked for a career high payday, and fought very well against him with a broken hand. lots of you guys were not watching boxing back then and it shows. clottey almost got a decision against miguel cotto in madison square garden. let that sink in. dude could fight. he coudln't see the punches from pacquiao and hardly threw back. styles make fights.

Thank you for saving me the time

This is the same guy who refused to fight Floyd at 2009 because he said he don't want to be VADA tested because he's scared of needles and blood testing for PEDS will make him weak.

Btw Pac-Thurman has no VADA as well. Why does Manny hate getting VADA tested so much? Even the Marquez fight where he got Ktfo there is no VADA testing.

You damage your own credibility when you call former champions “bums”.

Pacquiao fighting welterweight and jr. middleweights is like Mayweather fighting 168 guys. Which never happened.

Pacquiao is naturally much smaller man. That is why he gets more credit for 147 run.

Always did get passes, above 140 the weight he fought at seemed to depend on the opponent.

this troll can't find any topics to bring up about floyd coz he was clearly forgotten.. and nothing interesting about his resume and career now he wants to talk about pac who's still active and has a great career run.. pac really in the hot seat and spot light.. true legend...
