Simple question, did Pacquaio duck Victor Ortiz and Andre Berto in 2011?

Originally posted by BG_Knocc_Out View PostI don't remember any demand for Pacquiao to fight Berto or Ortiz. Actually, Arum and Pac had made it clear, even before the Mosley fight accured, that Marquez is secured as Pacquiao's next opponent (considering there was some sort of demand for this fight).
And either way, there was 0 demand for Pacquiao-Mosley, and minimal demand for Pacquiao-Marquez.
I can't put it on Manny though. I may be flamed, but I truly believe Pac will fight anyone put in front of him. It all comes down to whatever Bob's agenda is, unfortunately for boxing fans. No other man in boxing can tell you Shane Mosley sucks and is finished, then make a fight with Shane Mosley and sell the hell out of it.

Originally posted by Dedication View PostThis has crossed my mind a few times, so I'm bringing it to the table for discussion.
Did Pacquaio duck Andre Berto to fight Shane Mosley instead?
Did Pacquaio duck Victor Ortiz to fight JMM instead?
Simple question(s).
This is going to sound ******, but he won't fight either of those guys at 147. He will fight Bradley, Maidana, Petersen well before those 2.

pretty straight forward
and Bob puts him in with whomever the matchmaker tells him to. They were offering up millions of excuses as to why Floyd wasn't viable in May, now all of a sudden they won't wait for him. Cut = magically healed.

Originally posted by Chups View PostPacquiao clearly ducked both of them.....every year hundreds of potential welterweights are being ducked by Pacquiao except for a couple of fighters that he fights that year.
Pac can't really duck anyone. He only fights TR fighters atm. Unless you're with TR you have zero chance. He doesn't duck anyone either, he's just too dumb to notice Bob and Koncz are doing it for him.

IMO, he chose Mosley over Berto. So, I would count it as a duck though I do think it has something to do with money. I'd favor Pac over Berto any day though.
As for Ortiz, nah. I think he was only considered viable after his win over Berto. Then, he lost again to Mayweather. Time factor rules this out.
