How can a fan of boxing hate on Pacquiao

about cherrypicking

If I have to cherrypick, Antonio Margarito would be
one of the last fighters I would choose.

Seems some people just have the inability to use their
brains in some areas.

.[/[/B]QUOTE] Floyd beat Mosley earlier this year!!What does those accusations outside the ring have to do with inside it,before anyone makes an assumption on that,they should wait until that fiasco is over,Women does lie u know.But my points are that every fighter can be criticized,Pacman too!!Pacfans are always quick to criticize Floyd but can't take when facts about Pacman are returned!!It is a fact that Pacman has 3 fights over 140 & 2 were indeed catchweights(the Margarito fight isn't done yet,but it will be),is it not!!These are facts,like it or not!!

floyd represents the sport and when he does things outside the ring that brings a negative light to our sport through the world of cours it matters. This dude retires after a retirement , brings up drugs and peds like he is on a crusade, which is bull****, and he fights once a year. I agree about the catchweightfor titles that it isn't right, but please stop acting like its a blasphemy or something. catchweights are a part of boxing. It has been done by many greats before, so why is it a big deal when pac does it.[/QUOTE]

If Pacman woulda beat Cotto at a catchweight & that was that,there wouldn't be anything to point out,but now he's fighting Margarito for a vacant title at another catchweight,exactly how many catchweights title fights does he get credit for before enough is enough??

So you think Margarito is the best option out there for Pacqiauo as of right now?

why should i when you guys dont give credit to floyd? atleast floyd fought at the weight limit in his bouts. atleast floyd moved up, was truly the smaller guy and didnt try to beat guys on the scales so they werent 100%. nor did floyd deliberately go after guys coming off recent big losses in hopes they werent the same, which is what Roach has done for pac

pacs JRWW and WW run is a joke to me

What are you talking about Floyd being a small welter?!! Floyd's built and height runs smack at welter, he has the right built for a welterweight fighter. Manny, Marquez and Hatton are the small welters while Margarito, Cintron and Paul Williams are the big freak of nature welterweights...

You guys say Margs is cherrypicked by Manny.
At 5 feet 6 inches tall, I'd be terrified to pick Paul Williams
...at any weight.

You are talking about a career featherweight fighter just 2 years ago fighting big large men, and the catchweights in this title fights doesn't really affect his opponent's performance and health so what's the fuss...

Ok. But you didnt answer my question. To you is and when the fight was arranged was Margarito the best option out there for Manny?

The answer is plain and simple. A resounding NO.
Again, if I have to cherrypick my opponent I'd choose
someone with my own height. This is natural. It's a
survival instinct.

I don't get your point. Are you saying Margarito is an easy
fight?

Ok, so if your self proclaiming that he isnt the best option out there for Manny, then has he not 'picked' Margarito? A weaker option. Therefore doing the definition of 'cherry picking', picking an easier option.

When a fighter picks and chooses it shouldn't only be called cherry picking when its the worst choice, had Pac fought Yuri Foreman who is also alot taller than him, he would have also 'cherry picked' Foreman. There are no height restrictions in boxing.

My point is, as i said in my first post, saying Manny NEVER cherry picks is a lie, he doesnt do it all the time, but he does cherry pick from time to time, but then again, so does pretty much anyone, and as of right now, Manny is picking Margarito, a weaker option as appose to tougher options, thus could be said to be 'cherry picking'. Do i think its an easy fight? Meh, ish, not a walk in the park but it will be easy, Pacqiauo will punish Margarito in my opinion.

[al-Xander]

Nah. You'll never convince me that Margarito is a
cherrypicked opponent for Manny. You're only saying
size doesn't mean a thing in this fight is because you're
not a Manny fan. How many fights have you seen in
the last ten years where there is a significant height
advantage between fighters?
