Yeah because only wins against undefeated opponents should count.
Anyone who loses once in boxing is damaged goods and should just retire and go to truck driving school.Comment

What are you saying PAC can only fight unbeaten fighters?
Floyd is the who waits for people to lose first whether its dlh against BH, cotto against PAC, jmm against PAC.
Basically just about everyone on his resumeLast edited by hugh grant; 10-11-2016, 04:40 PM.Comment

Floyd waits for them to get old not in the sense of age but he waits until they've taken enough damage for him to feel safe fighting them.Comment

Floyd is famous for being g cautious, not taking risks and trying to get things in his favour.
So why are people trying to tar PAC with same brush.
The fact that Berto is Floyd's last fight should tell you all you need to know about Floyd. Its a reflection of his whole career. People accuse Floyd of cherry picking and with thast fight basically confirms everythingComment

No but don't fight all these fighters coming of brutal losses.Comment

Pacquiao doesn't do that. You apparently don't like him and are accusing him of doing something he doesn't do. Arum gives him a list of opponents and how much money he might make and then Pacquiao and Roach pick his opponent. Maybe you forgot Bradley had never lost a fight when Pacquiao fought him. Bradley had still never lost a fight when Pacquiao rematched him. Bradley had never lost to anyone but Pacquiao when Pacquiao fought him a 3rd time. So much for your wrong statement that Pacquiao only fights guys coming off a loss.Comment

Nothing wrong with losses; just fighting guys coming off of losses, and then trying to trumpet the fight as massive wins, is a bad look.
Berto and Pacquiao were what they were (cash grab and the closeout of the deal with Showtime), but Maidana won 4 fights (three KO wins and knocking off Broner in a high-profile fight) before he got his shot, Alvarez was an undefeated fighter coming off of the massively successful Trout fight before he got his shot, Guerrero was 7-years undefeated before he got his shot as mandatory challenger, Cotto had won three fights at 154 before Floyd went up to see him, Ortiz had gone 5-0-1 since the Maidana fight and had the WBC 147lb belt before he fought Floyd, etc.
Floyd's fights, basically since the moment he got the opportunity to be the voluntary defense for Genaro Hernandez, has hinged on the audiences seeing the fight as being worthy to have any chance at success.
Manny Pacquiao, thanks to the HBO/Top Rank media push, has never had to deal with such issues; Pacquiao was able to fight anyone, coming into the fight in whatever shape, and the HBO machine was able to spin it into being a marquee fight.Comment
