List of fighters Pac should fought instead of Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Marg & Mosley?

The only fight I think he missed out on was fighting Shane Mosley when Shane was calling him out.
Oh and him fighting Clottey over Mayweather was another one.Last edited by B.U.R.N.E.R; 04-15-2011, 10:17 PM.Comment

Roach knew that it would be Cotto before Shane since Cotto is an Arum guy but that didn't mean that he didn't want no part of Shane. I think it was around the Hatton fight that Roach thought it may happen at some point (fighting Mosley). Being that Manny was still questionable at WW back then, Roach did have concerns of fighting Mosley and / or Cotto at 147 ..... therefore the catch-weight. After seeing the fight, I don't think it would have made a difference against Cotto.
Notice that after the Cotto fight, he is now OK with fighting at 147 since they feel that Manny can handle being the smaller guy (come in at about 144) but still do well enough to beat these guys that come in at 147 at the weigh in and much more than that at fight night.
Aww somebody burst your vagina.
Within a year pac went from 130 135 145, Dont forget Hoya was the one who called him out. He was untested at 147 and even at 140/135.
Imagine Bute fighting the Klits for the very first or second time at HW. But I guess your too dumb to realize thatComment

Hatton is the lineal champ, no issues here...
Cotto, fight is at 145 which is within the welterweight limit, Cotto have no problem signing the contract so I have no issues with the catchweight or with this fight either... but, Mosley (#1 welterweight at that time) fight should have happened right here...
Clottey, fight with floyd didn't materialize, Clottey was ranked #5 at welterweight at that time... not bad for a replacement, but the Floyd fight should have happened at this point...
Margarito, this is just a money-making event, blame WBC for sanctioning this as a title fight... Margarito getting a broken orbital bone was just a bonus... but, I prefer Pacquiao-Marquez III at this point...Comment

Pac has done all he should have done and more, how anyone can really question his opponents when he is a natural LW in reality is beyond me.Comment

I mean afterall 31 of Floyds 41 fights were fought at 135 pounds or less.
And I see Floyds opponents mocked all the time. Has Pac not proven to you that hes a legit threat at WW?
On top of the Floyd stuff heres a question:
At 147 Pounds who wins:
Pac vs. Berto
Pac vs. Ortiz
Pac vs. Cintron
Pac vs. Zaveck
Pac vs. Mosley
Pac vs. Bailey
Pac vs. Quintana
Pac vs. Soto-Karass
Pac vs Mike Jones
Pac vs. Jackiewicz
Pac vs Chavez Jr
Pac vs. Canelo
You know like I know he would most likely beat the BRAKES off every fighter on that list. So stop it with that hes a lightweight crap man. You are selling him short bro.Comment
