But in retrospect its clear he never intended to stay there anyway, but more importantly, all the **** Pac got for that and for the silly notion put out by Nate Campbell that he "ducks" black fighters is all erased because he is taking on Miguel Cotto.

Cotto is tougher than any LW he was accused of ducking and better and badder than any black fighter that he allegedly ducked.

Win or lose against Cotto, he's showing balls of steel for taking this fight. I can't help but give him props for taking this fight.

Plus, as I've said before, it really tells you a lot when a guy who was at 130 a year ago is fighting Cotto before Floyd.

things were all changed by that oscar de la hoya fight offer made to MP...

FFS, Pac was gonna fight Valero after Diaz. And Soto was the backup plan if the Valero deal ain't go down. Nate was supposed to fight Guzman and JMM was fightin Casa. There was nothin else for Pac to do but beat Valero or Soto, then face the winner of 1 of the other 2 LW title fights. But DLH punked out outta facin Marg and called out lil Pac. Pac beat his ass and the rest is history. Only people who care about this **** are Mr boat buyer's ****suckers.

**KILLA RIGHT** · 10-08-2009, 07:16 PM

manny get's a pass for everything because he's a nice guy it's that simple

Doesn't matter, ******* ducked all lightweights! He is teh pssy!

He took a much bigger fight at 147 against Oscar freaking De La Hoya rather than stay at lightweight which he was going to do after beating Diaz. How can anyone hold that against him considering what he has done since?

Not only this but Larry, Pac gets a pass because he gives the fans what they want whereas its clear Floyd only cares about himself.

Thats why pac has respect universally and Floyd has a small minority of annoying fans.

good points..........

Pacman doesn't duck black fighters, he ducks AA fighters
