Why Does Manny Get a Pass for Cherry Picking Opponents?

[jrosales13]

Was Morales past his prime against Manny?

Yes he was and?

California Love, I am still waiting to see what was your point to this question?

[Fearless BONG]

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.

Well You're absolutely right bro, Pac Cherry Picking those KFC ducked fighters Hehehehe...

Pacman picked BIGGER than him.. FLOYD picked SMALLER than him.. LOL

LOOK at their SIZE...

Pac v Cotto >>>>> Floyd v JMM

Pac=JMM and Cotto=Floyd

Before the morales fight is drawn there is rematch clause from them..

Raheem lost to a Funeka guy. or maybe guzman you should include why

pacman didnt fought him too.. Funeka ****s guzman too.

Of course Barrera beats those guys, he was better than them even past his prime. Fact of the matter was they were past it as well.
Hamed- At the end of his career, (only fought once after fighting Barrera)
Ayala- Past his prime, Literally the end of his career/last fight
Kelley- Was Way, Way, WAY past his prime. He was on a decline 8 years prior to his fight with Barrera.

As far as several other fighters, there weren't any other, at least not that I can recall, correct me if I'm wrong.

Hamed was not at the end of his career. HBO had just put together a 5 fight plan for him and his US debut. His "career" as far a superstardom was just beginning, but after the barrera loss....he just didn't care enough and also got himself into legal trouble.

Ayala wasn't past it at all. That couldn't be further from the truth. Barrera beat him right after he lost to Pac which proves my point of Marco not being done.

Ill give you Kelley because he was past his prime etc. He was still a live opponent though but I agree with what you stated on him.

And this is what threads turn into when a select few ******s are involved. Be gone sonny.

It started with your thread title, bozo. It's what is called a hater thread, Sonny! Where are you from the 70s?!?

[The Noose]

Naw my dude.

Oscar was shot and drained.

Hatton was KO'd by Floyd and almost KO'd by Lazacano.

Coot had two good wins??? Clottey who most think he lost to? And Jennings? Cmon bro. Cotto was done after Marga beat him up he wasnt the same fighter.

Hey, waddya know... we can argue and be civil...props to us


Oscar was only seen to be weight drained after the fight. He looked decent against his previous opponent.

Hatton was hurt by Lazcano, but no one knew Pac had that kind of power.

Cotto fought well in those 2 fights. Clottey was a very tough guy, and Cotto was badly cut but still got the win. It was very close however u scored it.
Again, Pac beating the **** out of Cotto was not somthing i expected.

[mindreader]

Because he's cleaning out a division he's to small for

[ManniePhresh]

The bottom line is this pacquiao is god king to his fans and his word is law. The discussion ends their. No matter what you say, what ever valid opinion you bring up, you are wrong forever and ever and ever. That is his fans logic and it is pointless to argue with them. I would drop this debate they will never stop proclaiming his infinite glory as the greatest boxer that ever lived so let it go. Theyre a cult man.

[AFTER HOURS]

How many wars has Manny been in?

as much as morales.

[Lakas]

Manny ducked who? And i hope people dont bash him for fighting Clottey ... there wasnt exactly any other choice. Manny likes staying active. Give him props for the win
