I can't believe we have a 12 page threads discussing the thoughts of RA the rugged man.
well it's actually a good point since so many people are claiming that Pac is fighting a tailor made opponent and a guy who he will easily beat. Fact is Clottey was owning two guys that are considered two of Floyds best wins at WW (Judah and Baldomir) and destroyed Corrales.
I meant to put he had some points in the past. Meaning stuff he stated months ago about Floyd ducking tough competition. Now that Floyd is facing a guy that he wanted him to fight, you can't go back on your word and say oh he hasn't fought a guy that hasn't been able to beat so and so. He loses credibility and looks like a hater. People need to give Floyd major credit for fighting Shane.
Why? I'm giving him credit for what Floyd is SUPPOSED to do. Why should I give him credit for doing something he should have done years ago?
Why is it that because he has faced such mediocre competition in recent years (relative to his talent level) and now has no choice but to fight someone who presents at least some semblance of a threat we should give him massive credit? I'll give him credit for what he is MEANT to do.
But when guys like Pacquiao who's last few fights (with handicaps or not) against Clottey, Cotto, Hatton, Oscar have all been some of the toughest fights he could have chosen (apart from Oscar in retrospect) or Shane who fought Margarito, Mayorga, Cotto, Collazo don't get credit every fight because they consistently fight the best.

Dude styles makes fights. What does Clottey beating a shot Judah and a 149 Pound Diego has to do with him vs. Pac?
