Comments Thread For: Schaefer Feels Arum is Cherry Picking Pacquiao's Fights

[xaviertooth]

it'll be hilarious when the next day arum comes out and do an interview:

arum: lol! stop crying richie boy!

kinda like counter-troll but bob's too old to do that.

They always say this after pacman demolishes somebody. This is not what you were hearing before the fight. Only there was a good chance on margarito pulling of an upset.

But, we looking at it in hindsight if that is the case no?

And, in hindsight Martinez starched P-Will in 2 rounds. So how competitive was that?

Exactly. Hindsight is 20/20. Williams-Martinez II was supposed to be the fight of the year, but now technically was a mismatch.

Pac was the 2-1 underdog against DLH, who was the one who ducked Margarito and cherry-picked Manny from LW thinking it would be an easy payday. Didn't work out that way.

Pacquiao-Hatton was supposed to be competitive because Floyd Sr was going to teach Ricky how to box and both guys were action fighters, and Hatton was about the same age as Manny, both in their prime. One vicious 2nd round KO ended Hatton's career.

Pacquiao-Cotto was supposed to be a brawl between a guy moving up and an established WW power puncher (Cotto is younger than Manny). Pacquiao-Clottey matched him up against a guy who has one of the best chins in the sport, a big strong defensive counter-puncher who comes in as a MW on fight night (Clottey same age as Manny). Pac-Margarito featured Manny against a huge iron-chinned pressure fighter (same age as Manny).

And losing or getting KO'ed doesn't automatically make a fighter shot or past his prime. Is Paul Williams' prime over just because he got caught? Obviously all of Pac's opponents have been taking on past its prime damaged goods since Manny was KO'ed twice, right?

Damn cherry pickers

[Mr. Philadel]

There is certainly no love between Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank. Golden Boy's CEO, Richard Schaefer, took aim at Bob Arum, the CEO at Top Rank, by stating that Arum should take the blame for any perceived cherry picking of Manny Pacquiao's opponents.

Tell us something we dont know

[odogg8121]

pacyow is the one who wants mosley, pacyow wanted margarito. pac needs to fight top guys, its ****** to pay for garbage fights against guysway past their prime, no reason for it . look at martinez williams those two fights were free and 10X better than anything pac has put out since jmm. pac needs to quit handpicking he needs to step up already.

shhhhhh i didnt pay for that fight lol

[twosweethooks]

Well my goodness, All of the diatribes would stop if ONE Mayweather JR would step forward and just SIGN THE CONTRACT.

Manny wants to fight MayJr but want wait around forever, he goes and fights who is available.

Mayweather said NO so Pac fights Hatton

MayJr says NO so Pac fights COTTO

MayJR says NO so Pac fights Clottey

May Jr says NO so Pac fights Margo

May Jr will say NO and Pac will fight who's left ?????

Pac has whipped all of the elite of his day.

Mosley ?? He quit against MayJr after nearly knocking him out .

Berto ?? Who has he fought ? He's probably next

Marquez, AHA ! He's the little mang wid de Balls mang ! HE's the won who MayJr. decided to cheat on cause of WHAT ?

1. What would make a faster two weight classes bigger man CHEAT in WEIGHT over little Marquez ??????????

Answer : FEAR

2. Why won't MayJR. git off the drug scheme and come out of hiding and SIGN the CONTRACT ????

Answer : FEAR

3. NOW hairless balls is really hugging the back wall of hiding cause of what the GREAT MARTINEZ did to Williams.

What Martinez did is DEMOTE MAY Jr. Did yall feel it ? Did yall feel that when Martinez did his thang on Williams that now a new kid is on the block and everyone take notice ? Mayweather is now no longer in the running as to who is Pound 4 Pound.

Will he DECLARE Martinez is on DRUGS TOO ??????

WILL he sign to fight MARTINEZ and make him drain his blood after he gets in the ring and after every round until the third when he gets KO'd?

Greater men have had greater records that May Jr.

All of this ****** talk would cease if only May jr, comes out of hiding and SIGNS THE CONTRACT !!!!

I predict if he can be coerced to sign to either Pac or Martinez that he will be KO'd by either.

[gwildcat77]

seems this way if FLOYD dont' want to fight

Well yea it sure seems this way since FLOYD keeps refusing to fight PAC after ARUM keeps trying to make the fight but FLOYD don't want it.

[LAFIRPO]

Everyone is critizing Manny because they want their fighter to be next in line. If Manny chooses Mosley or Berto Golden Boy Promotions is going to come out and say that Manny doesn't fight smart, Mexican counter-punchers.

If Manny chooses Marquez than B-Hop and all these other ridiculous people are going to say Manny avoids black, slick fighters.

It's a lose-lose situation.

Manny and Arum should just do their thing.

But, we looking at it in hindsight if that is the case no?

Because going into it Oscar was a huge favorite against Pac. It was suppose a mismatch in Oscar favor going into it. Hindsight it was not the case.

And, in hindsight Martinez starched P-Will in 2 rounds. So how competitive was that? While Pac-Cotto was competitive for the first 4 or 5 rounds.

But, going into Martinez-Williams was suppose to be FOTY and very evenly and it didn't disappoint IMO.

The point is how are we gasping this? The perception going into the fight or looking back in hindsight?

so what if he beat williams in 2,the first was competitive,and in second fight martinez just landed a good shot,doesn't mean it wasn't going to be a good fight,my point is going into the second fight it was evenly matched,pac fighting margarito,a lot of people were saying it was a mismatch,,,see the difference?
