    That is my answer. Please never post again. Thank you
    Comme on man, Pacquiao took much bigger risks fighting A level fighters trough out all of his career, of course there was a big risk of him getting KTFO in one of those fights, and he won most of them. What was he supposed to do, fight nothing but Algieris and Rios' for 10 straight years? When he chose to fight them people were saying he's a cherrypicker.

    Well I disagree with that, to me the 0 means nothing but ok if that's your opinion. I would understand people saying that he got an L on his record just 2 fights ago so that's why they don't put him above Ward. It would be crazy not to admit that he slowed down but personnally I think he performed better than Ward in recent fights and all that against the better opposition. I also think people are asking more from Pac than from Ward because they still want him to be a wrecking machine he once was before he slowed down. Yes he slowed a lot but with Brook leaving the WW division I still see him as the best welterweight today.

      so you support/encourage figthers not taking risks? for example ward's last 5 years. if pac fought that level of comp the last 5 years he wouldn't have been knocked out so what does that prove? pac has better wins hence he is better.

        I guess the super six was a long time ago. Got me there.

          Stefan already brought me to my senses.
