Total bullsh**.

It was 5 years after Matthysse had lost to Garcia. That’s one hell of a rebuild.

————
Ha! Ha! So out of more than 10 listed facts, your response is to correct me on the legendary Mathysse? Wow!!

But, let’s dissect that further, Mathysse gets beat by
Garcia then goes to fight John Molina, Robert Ortiz and Provodnikov before getting beat by Postol.
Then he goes to fight Taylor and Kiram. And now he’s totally rebuilt and PAC elects to fight the dangerous Mathysse!! Wow!!
So many other belt holders and top names at WW but Manny picks Mathysse! Wow!!

Pac gives haters the fights they want. Floyd didn't give haters fights they wanted Floyd fights the bertos of this world.

And they hate pac even more.

[Oregonian]

Yes floyd fights old fighters like dlh, used goods like cotto, cws, and former f lyweights with 70 fights under belt not far removed from ko loss.
Floyd didn't take go out on shield type fights

———-
So Floyd fights Oscar in 2007 and Oscar old but Manny fights him in 2009 and Oscar is a legend.

Cotto gets cheated by Margarito and then Manny weakens him with a 145 CW because Cotto is fresh. Floyd fights Cotto who is younger than him, for a unification bout at 154 which Cotto was very comfortable with BUT Cotto is used goods.

Meanwhile the king of CWs ..
- Margarito (after losing to Mosley by KO)
- Cotto (after losing to Margo by TKO
- Algieri
- Marquez

And fighting guys coming off losses (Clottey, Broner, Oscar, Brandon Rios) … all these fights happening when PAC was in his “prime”.

PAC WAS in his freakin prime when he has those fights! That fact alone seems lost to Filipinos!

We acknowledge that Berto fight was unnecessary. No matter how Floyd defends it by calling it his farewell fight, it was garbage fight. Floyd doesn’t cement his ATG status with Berto. But Manny does that with his dubious fights over the last 12 years.
Why can’t you call PAC’s garbage fights garbage?

[pasawayako]

pac gives the fans their money's worth while floyd steal moneys from the fans..

And the haters hate pac even more. lol

No true boxing fan hates Manny. I call him out for his farce fights but recognize his greatness too.
Unlike you Filipinos, all of you believe that Manny does not fart nor does he poop and if he does then his farts smell like Roses and his poop smells like strawberries.

Thats what I said when he could have chosen a great like Rios or Horn, maybe even the amazing Algieri or the legendary Lucas Matthysse, isn't that right.

He ducked prime Keith Thurman who was his mandatory. A welterweight who wasn't a slow, short armed, flat footed, come forward guy.

Pac has earn the right to pick and choose his opponents, he obviously sat down with his team and analyse who to pick between Crawford and spence, and they obviously see Spence as the easier of the two. Spence could end up being the most difficult out of the two but I think they see him as being the weaker.

nope! it would have been pac vs crawford but bobby couldnt come up with the funds....

“Look, what happened to us in Abu Dhabi was we had signed contracts and everything and they were supposed to put up the money,” Arum said to BoxingScene.com. “Well, I’ve been waiting two weeks for the money. Nobody put up the money after promising they would.

“Both (Pacquiao and Crawford) had agreed and we had a signed agreement from this group in Abu Dhabi subject to the money getting put up by the Abu Dhabi government.”

With deadlines missed and no money coming through, the fight is off, Arum said.

Pac always fought top tier n can pick choose whomever at this point. Picking spence legendary beng spence is better than long layoff thurman n well truthfully huge pac fan but the 2nd half of fight thurman started picking up pac if wasnt for that knockdown then later in fight hurt thurman body shot overal close win for pac yet spence bigger better the best at 147 honestly cant really say anything for crawford for fighting no1 ranked legit champs contenders or top 10 your suppose to look nice vs no names or has beens. Ill judge crawford when face a top 5 or even 10 for mickey n swift in the 6-8 range yet still no top 10. Crawfords been so badley managed only way he can even gain any attention is 2 things either go to pbc or Do a co main on undercard of exhbition or jake paul for til then crawfords # dnt warrant more than 1/3 the purse vs spense n the longer wait n keep doing pedestrian numbers n opps n longer spence slowly builds resume n ups #s less likely fight happening for i doubt crawford would take 20% which what u warrant when spence beat pac goes from 250k to 400-500k per fight n u still do 100k

Yeah he could have waited till Thurman had all his surgeries and layoffs, waited until he looked like crap with Lopez nearly stopping him, , then jump up with lets fight keefie, then wash him over 12 rds and ride of into the sunset on a white horse.

Can you explain the difference between Horn Rios Broner Algieri and Berto, from what I can see they all sit in the same boat?
