After Reaching The Elite Level, Is It Ok To Take On A Fighter Coming Off A Loss?

[Chuckguy]

Clottey was not "decisively" beaten by Cotto.

It doesnt matter
the TS said coming off a loss
not what type of loss

when a fighter reaches the elite level, is it ok for them to take on a fighter who was decisively beaten in their previous fight?

Pardon?...........

Did you ever watch Judah-Baldimer? I doubt it. It was a competive fight. And one other fact that some people love to conveniently leave out is that Mayweather-Judah was a done deal BEFORE Judah lost to Baldimir. Many people like the TS want to impose this false image that Mayweather only decided to fight Judah AFTER he lost which is false.

Pardon?...........

hey spay I think this thread is intended to bash someone but my point is that an elite fighter should not be fighting anyone coming off a loss regardless of what type of loss it was
they need to give someone deserving a shot
not a loser
sorry it is what it is

Also its just not that simple either as to whether its ok to fight a guy off of a loss once you are viewed as the best of the best.

Why does everyone try and turn everything into some black/white polar extreme situation on this board.

Its like being forced to think about variables is frightening to posters on here.

Pac is a guy who could easily make 140 and probably still make 135 with a struggle him fighting a decent WW off of a ko loss before the Cotto fight would have been a fine test to me.

Pac can't make 135 anymore and would struggle to make 140. You're not fooling anybody with that.

Clottey wasn't decisively beaten. And I didnt like that fight either.

Erik Morales certainly was brother.

Pacquiao:

Fought Barrera after Barrera lost to Marquez.
Fought Morales I after Morales lost to Barrera and still lost.
Fought Morales again after Morales lost to Raheem.
Fought Morales again after already beating Morales.
Fought Larios after Larios lost to Israel Vazquez.
Fought Clottey after Clottey lost a close dec to Cotto.

So is this thread aimed at Pacquiao or who???

LOL.

i think he was trying to bash Floyd based on another comment he made in another thread. It isnt looking too good right now though

[Calilloyd]

Erik Morales was.
