Pac's choice of opponents

[Pacquiao'd]

Pacquiao needs to fight some real challenges.

His last 5 fights...
David Diaz. A tomato can.
Oscar De La Hoya. Weight drained.
Ricky Hatton. Shot.
Miguel Cotto. Had wear and tear but he was still prime I admit.
Joshua Clottey. Gatekeeper.

cotto was shot dude. no questions asked

His last 5 fights...
David Diaz. pac was moving up.
Oscar De La Hoya. de la hoya's fault. not pac's.
Ricky Hatton. live, big, and undefeated at 140.
Miguel Cotto. top welter with power and technical skill.
Joshua Clottey. a fighter no one looks good against yet pac dominated the cards.

nice way to play up this fighters for pac...no ones buying it though

lol, no he wasn't. Cotto only had one loss, how is that shot?

He just gets overwhelmed when he fights dudes who pressure relentlessly. Add speed to that pressure, it's a recipe for disaster.

these were all credible fights until pacquiao gets in there with them, exposes them, make them look like they dont even belong in the ring with him. pacquiao is that good, hate it or love it, there is no challenge, except for mayweather, which is why the fight has to happen.

honestly, pac put them in their final retirement or making them appear shot thus having the thought of retirement.

It's possible Cotto is a sucker for pressure fighters or maybe Margarito used plaster to permanently damage Cotto.

I don't care how they looked before the fights. All I care about is how they looked in the ring. Cotto is the only one that brought anything to the ring.

It couldn't be Pac making them look bad, right?

If you wanna go by that by breaking every fighters opponents down to make them not so good wins then Muhammad Ali had mostly suck ass opponents that made him look good too. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...light=muhammad

Mate you need follow another sport cos you know **** about boxing. Cotto was Shot???? Please explain

[bojangles1987]

that is not fair cuz your looking at the fight at hindsight. before those fights took place they were looking like credible opponents.

And even in hindsight, Oscar was the money fight everyone looked for, Hatton was the clear number one at 140, Cotto was the second or third best welterweight in the division, and Clottey is a top 5 welterweight.

The only bum is David Diaz, but the guy was a beltholder and Pac got a call from Oscar freaking De La Hoya, or he planned on staying at 135.
