Team Pac is always mentioning all these other boxers they could fight

[Chups]

Pacquiao has choices.....Mayweather doesn't (except for his rematch clause)

David Diaz wasn't cherry picked? David Diaz wasn't a bum?

By the way, that's Pac's entire resume at 135, one of his championship divisions. David Diaz.

That was his first fight there. Diaz was a top 5 LW, arguable top 3 since diaz lost and dropped in rankings. Another thing is he would have more than likely fought Cambell or Casamayor next, but Oscar came calling. Everyone knows you don't turn down the cashking, and the gateway to stardom in boxing. You beat Oscar you automatically become as star in the sport, on top of being a top earner and draw.

He fought Erik Morales after he lost to Raheem.

Why didn't he fight Raheem?

It's called avenging loss. Pac did the right thing Coach. You know he did.

OSIRIS, a ******* masquerading as a boxing fan, of all the members on this forum your comments imo, are the most **** filled statements I have read.

Yes I'm a Pac fan, I have never denied that. I have always felt real bad for you because in all of those other threads.....I sonned the **** outta you. That **** still bothers my conscience even to this day. Real Talk

I love all these dudes with their colorful usernames, colorful avatars, colorful signatures, and dozens of ribbons and gifts that they bought for themselves.

It's like the Boxing Scene e-penis. Let's see how colorful I can make my profile.

My avatar is in support of one of my favorite boxers...Koki Kameda, who has a career defining fight coming up in a couple of weeks. Also I actually contribute to boxingscene, which is why I have ribbons etc, something a piece of **** like you fails to do. People show love and my profile is a reflection of it.

If he would have fought Raheem instead of facing Morales, you guys would have a field day claiming he duck Morales instead of avenging his loss.

But to answer your question....there was an agreement to a rematch before the EMM vs Raheem fight was signed. Also Pac had just recently moved to 130 and was moving up weight fast. His team felt 135 was too big for him (at the time) and wouldn't even rematch Morales there.

No, I would not have had a field day. But if there was an agreement there, that is understandable. Sort of like Floyd-Zab situation. But could he have eventually fought Raheem, OF COURSE! I thought he should have.

What other WW were avialable when the negotiaions fell threw. Shane and Berto was signed and ready to fight weeks later, Tony was suspended, He just beat Cotto, Judah was bull****ting with his career, and Quintana was at 154. I mean who else was available?

Arum was ONLY going to put him in there with a Top Rank fighter, even if the others were available, IMO. He was pissed at GBP and he wanted to keep his money to himself.

you like Manny? I can't tell nor do I believe you. If you put your hate aside, you would clearly see why those moves were made and why they made sense at the time. Just like Floyd with Baldomir. It made sense in every aspect for him to fight Baldy over Tony, so I never knock him for that move.

Yes, I like Manny. I'm not going to sit here and lie to you. I'm a bigger Mayweather fan though. And you don't see me hating on Manny, boy stop. I've been critical of Manny since December 09 with his 29,33039,033 excuses why not to take a blood test AFTER he agreed to.

That's interesting. Floyd fought for The Ring belt in his first fight at 135.

shut up....your nothing but a *******...lol j/k

but rea ltalk, I guarantee you these guys would have a field day if Pac fought Raheem instead of avenging his loss. There would be countless threads on how Manny ducked Morales.

[JOM'S]

And Team Pacquiao said that the 24 day window for blood testing is also out. No more blood tests period.

like what I said both teams are talking up their as_ses, imho let them, it just adds up to the hype!

As I said, I wouldn't have a field day with it. Its understandable. That does not change the fact that he could have avenged his lost, THEN beat the guy that beat Morales.

OK, you can have that. But he still could have fought Raheem after he beat Morales.
