Why Does Manny Get a Pass for Cherry Picking Opponents?

[rskumm21]

you guys need to quit with all this condescending b.s.

There are tons of pac fans that know a ****load about the history of boxing. Why single out trolls and flamers and try to label a whole fan base after those guys.


New flash....there are just as many Floyd fans that fit the description you posted above.

It's not even close. And when I call out Floyd or any other fighter, how come I don't get 20 people hitting me with red k? And how come 75% of the fightern in questions fans will at least attempt to have a half way intellegent dialogue that revolves around boxing, citing other boxers of the past bouts to defend their point without resulting in childish name calling?

you are a ******* to the fullest man

your a flamer to the fullest. I posted facts....so instead of arguing you just throw out faming responses.

If what I posted is false...feel free to disprove it.

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

pac didnt take the "hard" road. roach knew DLH would be drained and was happy to see they had to try and rehydrate him with IV.

he said hatton was shot as well as cotto. fought clottey b/c he knew that clottey would stand in front of pac the whole time.

thats not taking the hard road, its cherry picking.

how come pac hasnt fought a boxer since JMM?

cherry picker

I came in here to agree with you but the bold part won't let me do that as a boxing fan I say Pacquiao did not duck Mosley. It's all business.

If you don't call that a duck then I don't know what is.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Every boxer cherrypicks some get called on it some dont. Pac in this case can get away with it but they did cherrypick for Pac no doubt... If they didnt he would have fought Raheem, Guzman,Casamayor, Mosley etc by now.



Thats if i use the Mayweather or Roy jones cherrypick logic, Funny thing is whenever you accuse Pac of cherrypicking posters would run into the thread to deny it but they would then turn around and say the samething about another fighter.

I agree with this post 100%. Pac isn't above criticism no fighter is.

Pac has ducked and cherry picked!! thats why he is the best!! player of the decade!! p4p king.. he is one cherrypicker maderfacker!!

[STREET CLEANER]

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.

Whoever cares to post the video evidence, please do.

Its called Intelligent Matchmaking, don't see them matching Manny with a pure boxer especially one with a good right hand. List how many pure boxers has he fought

The honest answer to this is there are alot of @sshole pac fans. Im not denying that and I can understand that them red k'ing you really stands out as oppose to a ***** who talks **** and keeps it moving (which I can respect).

also Most Floyd fans on here don't have intelligent convos. All you here is "PED" this and "Steroid" that. I mosdef love how most seem to have become fans after the gatti fight and that I know more about Floyd than them. Now Im not trying to be condescending because I rarely throw it in there face. What I don't like is how they try to come off as they know everything about boxing and pac fans don't know ****. No fan base is above the other and there is an equal amount of trolls and flamers on both side...as there are many knowledgable and unbiased posters on each side as well.

My thing is that no one is a boxing scholar on here and most try to come off as such and try to label a fanbase strickly off the flamers and trolls.

Roy jones was also the fighter of the decade in the 90's and he was accuse of cherrypicking. So deal with it not the end of the world.

everyone cherry picks every now and then but it is funny how pacs fans here forget that shane begged for a fight and even said hed go down in weight and he turned it down.
