When was the last time PAC fought an...

Cotto and Clottey. They were both coming off an extremely competitive fight against each other. Some thought Clottey edged it, some thought Cotto secured it with the KD. Either way, they were both withing the top three welterweights at the time (arguably). What's wrong with that? I seriously don't understand this notion that when someone loses, they are never the same and aren't good. Quite honestly, who would make more sense to fight at the time? Does everyone forget that A LOT of people were picking Cotto to beat Pacquiao? Or that a lot of people picked Hatton to win? And ODLH? People don't realize that from our standards today, "prime" is something that fades within a fight or two (from YOUR view). So with this mentality, do you realize how hard it is to catch an opponent in that seemingly rare moment in someones career? Because apparently Cotto, Hatton, and Clottey were never good fighters ever anyway, I suppose.

Also his haters say Cotto was coming off a win which he didnt deserve...so you say well he faced Clottey, then they say Clottey was coming off the loss to Cotto. You cant win on the internet. If Andre Berto fought Mosley right now it would be a 50/50 fight in most peoples eyes. Thats How good Pacquaio is. Unless its Mayweather no ones really going to be happy.

I gave him credit for Cotto more than Clottey. Can we admit Cotto was not the same after Margarito. Clottey gasses. All these fighters were picked for a reason. When people have Cotto beating Pac its because they want PAC to lose so they choose with emotion not their head. Im not saying PAC isnt good cause he is he just hasnt challenged himself with a threat without some kind of catchweight to give him the edge. I dont even know what weight class he is in. I really dont..

Opponent not coming off a loss near his prime and not at a catchweight. someone that was a good challenge not a Diaz. A fighter coming in hot on a string of wins?

Not me,he fought Clottey at 147,I'll never know why he needed to stipulate a catchweight for Cotto though!!The general contentious is that he didn't need it,well that may be the case but his team sure felt something about 147,that's why Cotto wasn't allowed to weight in at a full 147!!

When was the last time Pac fought an african slickster 94 years old named granny?

Why do you think he is as popular as he is? Its because he knows how to pick his opponents. The guy has fought giants compared to his size, who wouldnt want to buy that?? I dont care how shot you think hatton, or de la hoya or cotto and especially Margarito are, the fact that they were in some case 5 inches taller and outweighed him by 20 pounds makes the sell that much easier. Throw in the fact that most of them are future hall of famers and you have yourself a cash cow. Its as simple as that. Everybody likes the David vs Goliath sale and you cant argue that it doesnt work. Hes pulling in 20 million a fight so somebody somewhere, including me, likes it.
