    Funny how it's only after Pac beats them they are damaged good, shot etc..

    It's easy to say these things now but if you actually remember when these fights took place Pac was an underdog.

    Now, I'm not swinging on Pac's nuts but the man deserves credit when credit is due.

      Pac has taken the hardest road to get where he has gotten. He has always fought the very best in his division....point blank. Boxing writings, fighters, and fans take note and give him credit. You don't win Lineal/Ring titles, Fighter of the Decade and all the awards he has by cherry picking and ducking.

      It came down to Cotto or Mosley. Cotto beat Mosley so its a moot point. Pac will face Mosley if he wins or looks good against Floyd.

      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?
      1st Morales was not shot
      2. Pac and Raheem weren't in the same division
      3. Pac had just got to 130 and his team felt 135 was too big at the time. He wouldn't even fight Morales at 135 much less anyone else.
      4. So you are knocking Pac for wanting to avenge his loss? I guarantee a fa99ot like you would say Pac duck Erik if he fought Raheem instead of avenging his loss

      Oscar Called out Pac. Oscar is the cash king and calls all the shots. Its Oscar who wanted 147 and was coming back to WW to fight either Hatton or Cotto. Cotto got destroyed and instead of facing the winner like he said, he ducked Tony and tried to cherry pick Manny. He got his @ss whooped as an end result, so how is any of this Manny's fault.

      Cotto was an elite WW...something Floyd has failed to face in his tenure at that division even though he's been there for years. It took a natural disaster and Berto pulling out for him to finally do it....but hey props for finally manning up.

      Hatton was the best at 140, the Lineal champ/Ring champ and the best option for pac at that class. Pac fought him at his best weight, enough said.

      Whoever cares to post the video evidence, please do.
      Clottey was the best option available. Please name me a better opponent he could have taken after his fight with Floyd fell through.

        No one knows why he gets a pass.

        Maybe because the sports world want to see him as a boxing phenomen who fights and beats anyone.

                Hoya - not made 147lbs for over 7 years
                Cotto - pac/roach demanded he come in at 145lbs, beat up by marg, tough fight with clottey
                Clottey - doesnt throw anything,plays into pacs hands
                you forgot to mention that clottey had lost to cotto in his last fight.

                as well as, there is talks of marg fighting pac who was destoryed in his last fight with shane.

                the double standards are pathetic. but it doesnt matter, all this **** ends if pac takes the test and gets in the ring with floyd.

                well not really, people will say that pac was too small for floyd so it iwll continue

                      Hating on Pac for taking the Oscar fight is pathetic IMO.
