Why Does Manny Get a Pass for Cherry Picking Opponents?

[KingTito]

What????????

[Khalid X]

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

again Pac one his first lineal title against a pure boxer (Sasakul).....and later beat Barrera who is a pure boxer. Marquez is also a pure boxer and had a damn good right hand.

Well ts has got a good point there,with such a naive fanbase pacquiao has got it's no wonder he can get away with it.

Money may baby p4p unbeaten..fighting the best out there shane mosley..dont hate!!!!

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 know why because they are a childish and emotional bunch lol!

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

but floyd cherry picks the worst and he cherry picks wrestlers like the big show over a oscar rematch, lol, nyahahahahahaha


floyd almost lost to grampa oscar by split decision and by 1 ****in point so he cherrypicks a wrestler for his next fight, lol, nyahahahahahaha

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.

The problem is way more Pac fans don't know about boxing than any other fanbase... Bottom line. I mean, I've been into boxing for 25 years and NEVER have I run across fans as ignorant as the majority of Pacs fans. Some know boxing, but the majority don't, and they give the rest a bad name.

Mayweather vs Mosley, May 1st, one question , WHO R U PICKING?

[flexxx145]

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.

Well it's okay because Floyd accepted the fight. May 1st baby!

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.

You also have to mention Pac avoiding Yuri Foreman.Remember the"Yuri Foreman is to tall"comments And he`s close to the same size Delahoya who Pac fought.

And Pac choose Clottey instead whose a fighter whose known for throwing hardly any punches so he was made to order for Pacquiao.Had Floyd said Yuri is to tall they would have crucified him.


And Floyd fought a fighter that`s taller then Yuri in Diego Corrales.

Floyd: Fought old De La Hoya after like 3 losses, Hatton above his best weight class of 140, Gatti was toast when he fought Floyd- destroyed from too many battles when he was prime, Baldomir was slower than a snail crossing the highway- champ yes but weakest guy to beat, JMM was 12 pounds heavier than he had ever been and still broke the contracted weight to have a further advantage.

Names on Pac's resume blow the names of Floyd's resume out of the water no contest here
