absolutely not. I just kept reading random stuff that is easily
I just did. I asked who was better than Cotto at 147 and who was better at 140 than Hatton when Pac faced them. THe answer was no one. Floyd had just returned, Marg was out of boxing, and Cotto beat Shane. It's debatable, but IMO, given the cheating scandle.. If Cotto wasn't the best at WW he was easily top 3. Ricky Hatton being the top guy at 140 is not even debatable. Also this is about cherry picking. DLH is the one who called out Pac not vice versa...so to say Pac cherry picked Oscar is not fair.
Cotto beat Shane. Cotto is a Top Rank fighter and Arum wanted to keep Cotto. It made no sense to make a Mosley fight at that time...but don't you worry, pac will fight Shane soon enough (granted Shane takes care of business)
We flat out told you why he didn't fight Raheem. He had agreed to fight Morales immediantly after his fight with EM and prior to Morales losing to Raheem. Also he wasn't in the same weight class.
Basically what I'm seeing from you is that you are asking questions and not getting the answers you want.Comment

you say it like his opponents had zero chances of winning. if you read past threads, you will see that half the board predicted pac to lose. there's no point criticizing pac for cherry picking fights that present reasonable chances of defeat.Honestly, I'm curious. Around these boards other boxers are constantly bashed about cherry picking, but no one, Pac fan or otherwise can claim Team Pac has done any different from these fighters they claimed have taken the easy road?
For example, Pac hardly gets any criticism for not fighting Mosely when his camp openly ducked him. I don't get it?
Same for Raheem. Raheem dominates Erik Morales for 11 out of 12 rounds, and instead of fighting Raheem, Manny fights a shot Morales.
You want to talk about cherry picking?
By Roach's own admission DLH was a dead man walking whom no longer desired to fight when he was matched up against Manny. He was literally drained and dehydrated, and this came straight from the mouth of Pacs camp.
Cotto? Again by team Pacs admission, Cotto was damaged goods who'd had his career ruined by Margarito. Did that stop them from fighting and hyping the fight? Nope.
Hatton? Again, by Team Pacs own admission, he'd been ruined by Mayweather, and was coming off a fight where he'd been brutalized by Lazcano. They still fought him.
Clottey? I'll give Manny credit for the fight, but everyone in boxing knew what was coming. Everyone expected Clottey to shell up and take hits, he was taylor made for Pacs style.

I think you are taking ROACH's words literally whenever he tries to explain to the media how his boxer (PACQUIAO) would fare with the said boxers. Doesn't mean they were shot or anything in that nature, he meant that FIGURATIVELY, PACQUIAO would annihilate these boxers and therefore using a language that describes a visual analogy of opponents being those...Honestly, I'm curious. Around these boards other boxers are constantly bashed about cherry picking, but no one, Pac fan or otherwise can claim Team Pac has done any different from these fighters they claimed have taken the easy road?
