''Pac went out on his shield''

He was forced into retirement because he couldn't handle a guy named Ugas

Pac signing to fight spence is going out on shield, signing to fight undefeated, p4p fighter he's not supposed to beat, who is supposed to show Pac to move aside, is going out on shield. Even if Pac took a dive in 1st round as pac didnt want to take a sustained beating its going out on shield. Floyd cherry picking berto, tenshin, and Connor isn't going out on shield.
The fact spence pulled out and Pac losing to ugas don't change thàt,

All I said was Pac went out on his shield. Pac s a winner cos of that. I didn't say Pac would beat spence. You can call Floyd's ducked and bud also. You can't call Pac that

In boxing, going out on your shield is when you fight your heart out while getting beat. It’s what happened to Wilder. He went out on his shield and earned the respect of everyone including his haters.

PAC NEVER went out on his shield. He signed to fight Spence hit the fight never happened. It is now a mythical matchup. No different from all the mythical fights we all like to discuss especially between contemporary boxers vs the guys in the 80’s.

If Ugas was able to beat PAC, Spence would have KO’d him into next week. That’s a mythical statement and most would agree. Except for PAC fans who truly believe their guy has never lost.

Pac signed to fight a man who was going to ask questions of pac whereby we find out whether it was time for Pac to pass the t orch/baton..
Pacs winner you could say as he was brave to fight spence whilst bud and Floyd always had excuse not to.

Why didn’t PAC fight Floyd in 2006 or 2007 or 2008? Why didn’t PAC fight Zaheer Rahman who had just schooled Morales and yet PAC chose to fight Morales?
We can play this game all day.

This makes no sense? Play what game all day? Triangle theories don't work in boxing so why fight zaheer when morales is greater? Just cos zaheer beat morales, don't mean zaheer will give pac s better fight than morales could.
GGG would best everyone floyd fought so why not fight ggg?

Because Pacquiao was already signed to fight Morales as his next fight. The night Morales fought Raheem, Pacquiao fought his tuneup Hector Velazquez. They were on the same card. Pacquiao did his part in knocking out Hector Velazquez. Morales didn't do his part. Raheem was just supposed to be his tuneup. Raheem ended up losing his next fight against Acelino Frietas. If Pacquiao ended up fighting Raheem after Morales everyone would be asking, "why is Pacquiao fighting a loser?"

Poor Pac Bois...dressing up their hero's final moments in the ring

After fighting a careers worth of cheeries, it was long overdue for Pac to TRY and make a fight with a live body happen.
We all know why Pac was not going to give Horn a rematch ( )

Pac got schooled by a basic guy who is now forgotten about.
Spence ''pulled'' out because he wasn't 100%.
It saved Pac from a vicious beating.

So now Pac is off to do his YOUTUBE tour.
The SAME EXACT SHlT you goofs cursed May for doing

What a bunch of losers he has for fans.

[BodyBagz]

The reason why Pac did not fight PBF was because of that deadly random BLOOD test ''demand''.
Pac pussied out.

Floyd was 147 Ibs fighter, GGG was a natural 160 Ibs fighter his whole career.
Floyd started out at 130. So using your “triangle theory”, why didn’t GGG fight Andre Ward?

As for your “let’s duck Zaheer and fight Morales” logic, well, PAC ended KOing Morales so it was a meaningless fight.
But that’s your boy’s MO - he fought Hatton after Floyd KO’d him, he fought Oscar at a weight drained Catchweight after Floyd had beaten him and he also fought Mosley after Floyd had beaten him. And all those are considered “great” wins for PAC but Floyd fought them when they were old, amiright?

Have you ever heard of step-aside money? It happens all the time.
Raheem fought Acelino because the PAC fight was dead.

PAC also fought Brandon Rios after Rios had just lost to Alvarado? Did you ask why PAC is fighting a loser?
PAC also fought Mosley who had been beaten by Floyd?
PAC also fought Margarito who had been destroyed by Mosley for a dubious 154 belt at a catchweight of 150.

Do you see the pattern here?

Also, you ignore the first question but I will ask again - why didn’t PAC fight Floyd in 2006, 2007 and 2008? Was he waiting for Floyd to age?

It was quite clear Floyd was chasing Oscar at the time.

iirc Manny fought Rios right after JMM 4.

Manny never dicated weight to Oscar, Oscar brought Manny 2 weight classes up. PI govt wanting to ban Manny from fighting. When Oscar came out that night everyone was like WTF! Not mannys fault. Who said that was a great win?

Mosely wasnt either, he was a veteran already. It took Floyd 10rds to dispatch Hatton. It was sloppy from what I remember. Manny laid the hit man out, 2009 ko of the year!

Still cant believe no one gives Manny credit for the Marg win. The size difference and the way Manny literally ended Marg career. Do you remember that thread after Cotto Marg 2, the real winner and it was Mannys picture LOL!
