No but it's not like Raheem outmuscled him and won due to his superior size and strength. He completely outwitted and befuddled him. Skills won that fight, not size.
Skills and weight, you are not that fast in 122 or 130 that a natural 135 fighter. You power is not the same too.
Raheem got a title fight right after he beat Morales and he lost to a boxer from Brazil. A few fights later he was KOed by a boxer from South Africa. So much for black Americans not losing to boxers from other countries. Raheem was a one hit wonder and not a Pacquiao beater. He did nothing at all after beating Morales to indicate he would beat the legendary Pacquiao. If he was good enough to beat Pacquiao who won world title after world title why was he unable to win a world title himself??????
Hell. Pacquiao would have slaughtered him. There is nothing magical or unbeatable about black American boxers fighting visiting fighters. They win some and they lose some. Pacquiao at age 40 recently came over here and beat the hell out of 29 year old black American Broner.Black American boxers can be lousy, average, good or great just like any other group of boxers of any race or country.
The truth is Pacquiao was kept away from Raheem and later on from Shane Mosley (until after he got old.)
Very selective matchmaking from a guy whose fans like to call others cherrypickers.
