          Absolutely pathetic

          Are you denying you've said it? Yes or no.

          I will take another duck of this question as admittance of your double standards.

            You've shown no double standard. Not sure why you think you've shown anything? Let me assist you. I don't believe Amir Khan should rematch Presscott. He could have a long time ago and didn't. I have never said he should. I have, however, pointed out that he should stop chatting about how he "deserves" a rematch against Peterson when he wasn't fighting that hard for one himself against Breidis. I asked you to show me the conversation for a reason. Unfortunately, you can't. And based on your childish line of questioning, even if you could find it you'd never understand it.

So to answer the TS's question, yes it was wrong that Raheem didn't get the shot. But that fight, like many, was about the bottom line and that usually means the fans - and the overall well-being of the sport - get overlooked.
              That is my feeling on this as well.

                    Not sure why you're even entertaining her, she gets pretty boring and redundant after awhile

                      Do you think it was wrong that Raheem was never in the running for a fight with Pacquiao, and that Pacquiao was served up Morales instead?
                      That was a classic where one guy did not want to engage but ran all night. There was no skill involved in that fight. Almost the same type of fights Mayweather used to do. It's what's called a borefest.

                      So where is Raheem now? Rigondeaux fought the same way in the biggest stage for him under the Pacquiao Margarito fight, it was a borefest and a disgrace. It was supposed to be the coming out fight for him and he blew it.

                      There's really not much skill to showcase if a fighter's intention is to back pedal all night and not engage. Similar to Mosley's fight against Pacquiao, fans just do not enjoy it, it's frustrating for them to watch. Leaves a bad impression.
