So I guess Manny is a ducker and a cherry picker, his so-called "fans" can't even defend his opposition as of late. Hmmm................

Can you defend the fact that Floyd declined to fight Manny? \

As for Pac's resume, if you look at Pac's resume that lead him to stardom, there's no way in hell you can downplay it. Morales x3, Barrerra x2, Marquez x 2.

As for his recent resume, I wouldn't say beating Cotto and Hatton was not noteworthy. Hatton was fresh off a dominating performance against Paulie, and Cotto was coming off 2 victories. And Clottey? Who the hell knew he would ***** out like that? The guy was a legit WW contender who many thought beat Cotto in their match. It's easy to say that he was a joke in hindsight due to his lackluster performance, but who were we to know he would do that?

Criticize him all you want, but being a Floyd fan, you would be a hypocrite to do so. Fighting a lightweight and then fighting an old fighter who had almost a 1 and a half year lay off isn't the most impressive thing either.

Prefight, David Diaz seemed the easiest to take on, among the
champs in the division. In hindsight though, Casamayor was
already past it. Even the guy I had really wanted Pac to face,
Nate Campbell, later proved as much a flake as Joan Guzman.
Top Rank was no doubt pleased that it was David Diaz.

DelaHoya was a good gamble because of the catchweight, but
Pac's odds were made sure by dela Hoya himself, overtraining.
Bottom line was, the money involved was impossible to pass up,
and it was dela Hoya who called Pac out.

Ricky Hatton was an easy payday, even at 140. Good scalp on
paper, but I wish Pac had stayed at this weightclass and faced
the better talent. Mayweather however came out of retirement
and Pacquiao's mother collected on her son's promise to run for
Congress after one more fight.

Easy answer: fight Mayweather late 2009, then campaign for
Congressman from January 2010. Unfortunately, Mayweather
vs. JMM was delayed too late in the year, for Floyd to fight
again.

Pac's "one last fight" needed a dance partner.
I had wanted talks with Mosley resumed. Mosley personally had
asked Pac about it, but during preliminary talks wanted no title
staked unless at legal weight (rightly so!). Pacquiao had earlier
declared 'anyone up to 147', but come negotiation time, the
team's line was for a catchweight. I think things could have been
worked out, 'til Cotto threw a fit and looked to bolt to GBP: why
should the guy he had beat (Shane) get the Pacquiao payday?

Top Rank was not unhappy to keep it in-house, and so we had
Cotto vs. Pacquiao going into Christmas. Now, Cotto was a real
risk, even after the loss to Plasterito --you can check threads
from the months leading up to the fight, and a lot of the 'experts'
here who now dismiss Cotto as shot before Pac, were singing a
very different tune.

Praise for Pac's win was nearly unanimous in the brief weeks
afterward, until Floyd Sr. tossed out the PED accusations. I
think May vs. Pac could have been made, OST's and all, if Sr.
hadn't said what he said, in the MANNER in which he said it.
Asking for OST's is practically accusatory too, but it can be
done with respect. Getting a guy angry and then asking him to
agree to something you want, doesn't make sense.

Anyway, Pac won his seat in Congress, and his mama changed
her tune. Pac could now fight "a few more times". Mosley was
committed to fight Berto, Floyd was rumored to be fighting
Matthew Hatton, and Bob Arum kept things in-house by setting
up a fight with Clottey, who proved to be a worthless bitch.

David Diaz was perceived easiest champ of weightclass, but it
turned out, his peers weren't that good anymore either. Oscar
called Pac out, and meeting Pac halfway in weight wasn't THAT
bad an idea, until he overtrained. Cotto was a real opponent.

In hindsight two fights looked the easiest, and proved easiest:
Hatton was a husk, and Clottey was a waste of time.

Margarito was crap against Shane, and unimpressive in Mexico.
Whether or not he's gotten back in pre-Mosley form, this is a
shitty fight on principle. The guy should be banned for life, and
a title shot on his first fight back is ridiculous. Staking a vacant
title at anything other than the weightclass definition is simply
a big "fuck you" to boxing fans.

Thank you for at least providing some answers! However, I find it hard to believe that Pacquiao can't find a legitimate opponent who hasn't lost 1 of his last 2 fights.

And good job establishing yourself as a "*****" in your first posts here.

Mayweather is too scared to fight guys in their primes ...... look at his last 3 opponents

[fcastro1]

Damn, it was so funny, fcastro. Can you believe the way you behaved? You tried so hard! I'd be ashamed if I was you

remember when you kept your faith that the reason the fight wasn't happenning was because pac never accepted the osts yet Floyd stayed hush. Man how delusional are you to make things up without facts just to defend your peds. Thats some lame ass ****. i remember when you used to defend floyd with your make believe answers without no facts or nothing. now that is some lame ass **** to be doing on a public forum. you should make up your own website called make believe scene, where you can make all the crazy conspiracies you want. hahahahahahaha-
