Once again, Teddy hatin' on Pac. The interview is quite long so I'm not posting it here.

I agree with him about Pac's opponents the past few years (Clottey, Margarito, Mosley), but Atlas is definitely a hater. His perspective on Pac is also quite myopic. I just don't understand why he hates Pacquiao so much. Is it because of Arum? Or Roach? I still remember him praising Pac years ago when Pac was fighting Hatton. Has Teddy forgotten Pac's epic fights and wins over Barrera, Morales, and Marquez?

Is Atlas just a jilted fan who wants Pacquiao to fight the best?

maybe he got tired of the *******s too.

I think he Picked Pac to beat Mosley

But before that i dont remember the last time he picked Pac to win his fight....Probably Diaz

He does the same with the Vlad Klitschko

I think he's turned on him ever since that fake email scandal turned into kaput. Can you really blame him? What would you do if you were made to look like a fool in front of the world?

here we go again. somebody doesnt kiss pacs ass and now hes a hater

floyd is the best at not getting hit. pac struggles against counter punchers, his defense is terrible. he struggled a lot and and got rocked by JMM. floyd shredded him. and now pac is ducking martinez, and martinez also said that he would knock out pac and that floyd would give him a better fight. its not just atlas dude

he even got knocked down by a shot mosley who mayweather would have killed that day

he hit the nail on the head

DT – I understand. Pacquiao is merely an event fighter. Not some great champion who defended his title against top competitors. Agree or disagree?

TA – Let’s take a look at his career. Because his opponents have been handpicked, they are flawed in more areas than the average opponent. Let’s go back to the beginning of this journey, the beginning of the gravy train….it started with someone named De La Hoya. He was a shot fighter, fighting at a weight that was sure to drain him of any strength or stamina. Even at his best, De La Hoya never won a big fight, more importantly; he was a fighter well, well, beyond his prime. Next up was Ricky Hatton, a fighter who was exposed by Floyd Mayweather and others as an extremely flawed fighter who always left himself open for punches down the middle. I believe Miguel Cotto was next up and of course he was damaged goods. At the time he fought Pacquiao, he was severely damaged physically, emotionally, and mentally from the beating he took from Margarito. Clottey was another guy that was mentally defective, he never fought with any real confidence, never took any real risk, a guy who's style was to cover up. Clottey throws very few punches and there is that saying in boxing that you can't be in the fight if you don't throw punches. His temperament was to be very safe. Guys like that are more inclined to stay covered when they have a fast handed guy in front of them. Now we get to Margarito. He is a slow guy who was never good technically he got exposed by Mosley who showed that Margarito is a very slow fighter who is not hard to find in the ring. Pretty much a one dimensional fighter. Let's add to the mix that he had to make a weight that was going to hurt his chances in the fight. Sure enough he drained himself just to make weight and you could visibly see that he looked drained. You take a look at his face....bones and cheeks...he looked emaciated and when he got into the ring he behaved that way....a fighter very game, very slow but most importantly very weak. The one advantage that he should have is his strength and power which was taken away from him by having to make the weight. Now, when we look comprehensively, intelligently, and fairly, every single one of those guys have major flaws. For all the credit and adoration Pacquiao got by the promotional machines, the publicity machines, the Pay Per View networks, the only thing great about his opponents is their names. Everything else was flawed.

He picked Pac to win over ODLH, Cotto, Clottey, and Margarito.

pac beats floyd, not an easy fight for either fighters though

**maguirre** · 05-26-2011, 02:37 AM

Let's just hope this reaches Money Mayweather and be encouraged by it. Who knows, he might grow balls finally. Go for it Floyd. Fans are waiting for your call.

Are you dense? Pac is ducking Martinez? Martinez said himself that he may have trouble making 154 and I'm a guy who wants to see Pac fight Martinez.

Nice... A guy commenting on a fight he obviously didn't even watch.
