Why didnt pac ever fight zahir raheem?

[jrosales13]

Everyone knows Manny only fights weight drained, B-level fighters, shot and past prime fighters instead of fighting the best.

Well to be fair Raheem was never the best of anything he was really a b maybe b- level fighter that beat an old fighter. Going by your logic that is the type of fighter that Pac only fights.

I am sure he would of. But, the question more was that would the public accepted him going down to 130. Or would they have been mad that Pac didn't go to 135 and fight him?

Are you reading posts like TI's? Do you see him mad that Pac forced Morales to go down to 130 when he clearly wasn't healthy at that weight? I think it depends. Raheem wasn't struggling to make 130 and I'm sure he wouldn't complain. I'm not sure the public would either.

why do you wanna know? what else do you wanna know about me huh girl?

I didn't think so.

I don't know. I thought Pac clearly avoided him. And using the "not his weight class" excuse is lame. Morales didn't want to go back to 130 either. Raheem kicked Morales' ass and should've ended any talk of a rematch. It didn't. Even worse, Pacquiao decided to fight the guy a third time. No defending it.

You arn't looking at the big picture! Pac went on to fight guys who were a hundred times better than Raheem in weight classes were everyone of his opponents were naturally bigger and stronger. You and a few other posters make it seem like "any" slick boxer would beat Pac which is a little ridiculous since Pac's style isn't exactly tailor made for a slick boxer either. Pac is an offensive dynamo with a lot of handspeed and a lot of footwork. Pac isn't exactly Alfredo Angulo and Raheem wasn't exactly Willie Pep either.

Take a deep breath. Now...are you done? Good.

When have I said any slick fighter would beat Pac?

When have I said Pac didn't go on to fight better fighters?

Simple yes or no questions. In other words, when you're ready to have a real conversation let me know.

I know TI and other Pac fans wouldn't complain . I don't know about the other set of fans though. They probably wouldn't have but maybe they would since Pac got this whole thing with him that he only fights drain fighters. So they probably would of said Raheem was drain too

That would depend...on whether Raheem was actually drained or not. I suspect he would put up a good fight and that would kill that theory.

When people look back at Manny Pacquiao's career, they will ask what could have been between him and Zahir Raheem.

the reason being $.

[brick wall]

I didn't think so.

here's the thing *****...raheem's fight with juarez was close and you can say he got robbed. juarez is a brawler and he's good at it he almost beat barrera because barrera brawled with him. but in the rematch when barrera decided to box him juarez looked lost. same thing with the chris john fight...juarez can't keep up. so how come your "slick boxer" raheem who moves a lot can not dominate the smaller and shorter juarez?
