Did Pacquiao duck Zorrita Soto?

[MexicanPoster]

As a Guzman fan I wanted pac vs guzman more than anything, but as a business I'm sure fighting Barrera on HBO ppv for millions of dollars vs fighting on regular HBO against an unknown is a lot more pleasing. It's easy for us to judge fighters but we're not the ones turning down millions of dollars to fight the fight a few hardcore fans want to see.

no one wants to fight Guzman cause Guzman is a notorious CHEATER that was suspended.

when they were both fighting at 130 soto wasn't a champion

Pacman wasn't a champion at 130 until his last fight in that division

that was well after he beat soto and had a good argument to fight pac you moron. he wasn't having weight problems back then.

Arum insinuated that the Sotto-GUzman winner will get a chance with Pacquiao. ( A bogus Pac-Guzman bout was announced to be held in Canada )


Guzman convincingly beat Sotto. but was on the back foot all night.

There was never a time that Sotto deserves a shot at Pacquiao. Maybe Guzman when he beat Sotto.

Depends on ones definition, for some yea they should say that.

In reality no~ both Soto and Guzman were solid good fighter, and if he fought them that would have been cool but Manny fought other guys who had credentials, maybe the fights were not as challenging but still it is not a big deal. Guys get missed all the time and good fights don't happen but even if those fights would have been better it is not a big deal~

the point is that nobody really gave a ***** about soto at that time. all he had was a win against rocky juarez. pacquiao was already a p4p kinda guy and a decent draw at that point. what did soto bring to the table?

sure, as a hardcore fan i would have preferred him fighting soto or guzman instead of the barrera rematch. but soto didn't win against guzman, and you can't really complain about pacquiao choosing to fight marquez instead of guzman.

if anything, he ducked guzman but i can't fault him for it from a business standpoint. and it's not like marquez is a bum, he was the man at 130 then. there was no ducking of soto

Pacquiao was scared when he saw Zorrita fcukin up his brother.

I don't blame him. It's his legacy that takes a hit, not his wallet. And as we can see these past couple years, he could give a flying **** about his legacy.

You are trying to say beating Guzman >>>>> beating Barrera?

At that time? Hell yeah.
