Pacquiao had to fight Morales twice because he lost the first fight. A rubber match was inevitable to settle the score. Raheem was never on Pacquiao's radar.

Can't really blame Pacquiao for fighting Diaz because he was just testing the waters at 135.

Nobody said Hatton was on the decline considering he TKO'd Malignaggi prior to facing Pacquiao. Also, nobody expected Hatton to get thoroughly embarrassed in just two rounds against Pacquiao.

Pacquiao took the ODLH fight because he was offered tons of money. Nobody took the fight seriously, nor did anyone expect Pacquiao to win so lopsidedly.

In 2008, Williams and Berto were never considered potential candidates for Pacquiao. Williams only called out Pacquiao after he destroyed Cotto, which signaled to everyone his legitimacy as a top welterweight.

Why the hell should Manny fight Williams when Mayweather is available?

this one.

concise and direct to the point.

Pac should just fight mosley or retire and not picking a figh with floyd that he knows he could beat. He knows floyd couldn't hurt him and always having a difficulty facing a southpaw. while mosley could **** and could go toe to toe with him and has a solid chin that can withstand to his power.

are you for real...

Everything the TS is true, why so much hate against him? Anyone with a brain knew all this before it was written. Anytime you have a trainer (Roach) that says, De La Hoya is washed up, Hatton is not a good fighter, and Cotto is not that same fighter, then fights them...is telling everyone that the opponents are handpicked. Yet and still, people think someone is trying to discredit Pac. Diaz was a clear cut handpicked opponent, hands down. Listen to Roach, he's telling us everything because he talks too much. Name another fighter who would have received as much credit as Pacquiao for defeating De La Hoya in that state. Everything has been set up, the media, politics, and illuminati has all of you people really delusional. It's sickening. Should Pacquiao get credit, yes, but he's been over credited because he's came up in weight to beat washed up and "can't pull the trigger" fighters, and HIS TRAINER HAS EVEN SAID THIS ****. Making him seem as if he's improved greatly but he's only improved slightly. March 13th is his first, real, legit opponent since Marquez.

stop throwing stones at the throne!!.....King Manny EARNED his spot....nobody PUT him there!!

Miguel Cotto - weight drained, catch-weight king pacquiao does it again makes cotto come at 145 lbs, cotto had already been destroyed by plasterito and was never the same fighter, apart from that had been in wars. Cotto was also not allowed to rehyderate more than a certain limit of according to the contract

Ricky Hatton - hatton was never the same fighter when he took his first loss in the ring against mayweather, he took a beating in the process that he had never taken before and was ***ed mentally as a fighter as he lost his confidence. Apart from that the blowing up in weight and drinking didnt help

Marco Antonio Barrera I - I give manny credit for this one. Close to a Prime barrera, not weight drained although already been in wars against Erik Morales, naseem hamed, and junior jones. those fights take something out of of u.

Marco Antonio Barrera II - extremely washed up, lost to khan after a few fights, been in too many wars, no point of the second fight after manny dominated him in his prime, waste of time and purely for the money.

Erik Morales I - was past his prime, coming off a loss to barrera and been in too many wars yet still managed to beat pacquiao

Erik Morales II - Again was past his prime and washed up, coming off a loss to zahir raheem - got dominated by Zahir Raheem, and then beaten by pacquiao in a fairly competitive fight.

Erik Morales III - Extremely washed up, too many ring wars, lost to david diaz in his next fight and was on a losing streak prior to diaz.

Juan Manuel Marquez I - the second credible fight after barrera I, but pacquiao lost almost every round after the 1st, i have never seen any fight in which a fighter knocks down another 3 times in the first and still loses the fight. It was a robbery, but not as bad as the second fight.

Juan Manuel Marquez II - Just when you thought the first was a robbery, it couldnt get any worser, the second fight was one of the biggest robberies of the year, marquez won that fight yet got screwed again, even filipinos such as nonito donaire scored the fight for marquez, the media in phillipines scored it for marquez, here are some of the scores:

Most boxing experts had Marquez winning over Pacquiao:

- Filipino Sports Analysts Ronnie Nathanielsz, Recah Trinidad and Ed Picson all picked Marquez.
- Graham Houston, FightWriter.com also picked Marquez


Oscar Larios - handpicked opponent from 2 weight classes below him.

David Diaz - bum with an alphabet title.

Oscar De La Hoya - extremely weight drained, past his prime, was fighting to just make the weight, lost to mayweather 2 years ago at his chosen weight, gloves, ringsize.

Conclusion:

- The only decent win on his resume is Barrera 1.

- He should have two losses to Marquez.

- weight drained delahoya, cotto and morales.

- fought barrera and morales after they had been in wars with each other

- steroid allegations are still on the high, making everything fishy. Blamed by mayweather sr, kermit cintron, paulie malignaggi.

PBF beat a shot baldomir, who lost 8 times before losing to PBF. Collazo just about already beat Hatton before PBF did. PBF only beat hatton at 147, not hattons unbeatable 140 weight.
Hatton didnt think anyone could beat him at 140 and he had it on record saying that. PBF beat past his best DLH, but Pac did it better.

Pac beat a shot Cotto, but a shot cotto is better than anyone PBF has fought.
I could go on but i'll leave it there for now.

Someone who believes in the illuminati has the nerve to call anyone else delusional???

Handpicked or not....in the history of boxing name another former flyweight champion to win a featherweight title let alone weltwerweight.

That alone still puts him in the top 3 p4p today regardless.

And yes...no matter how your p4p list looks...even the most hardcore of haters still have pacquiao top 3 p4p no matter what kinda dumbass excuses they have to discredit him.
