Pacquiao fans: Why did he fight David Diaz at 135 instead of Nate Campbell?

[BoloShot]

You really should take a break from this thread, you look like Joe ***** atm when he doing his digital rallies.

Damn that's a good one, gotta save it for later.

Can't believe people still argue about this ****.

Well, to be completely transparent, this and other aspects of Manny's career will always be debated when folks try to put forth false information as truth.

One of the saddest things to me about Pacquiao’s career is the way folks hype and exaggerate his accomplishments when in fact it's a career that is legendary enough to stand on just the facts.

We say 8 divisional titles when it's really 5 or 6, depending on how you count. If a fringe belt or Ring title doesn't count as a true divisional title for other boxers, why does it count for Pacquiao?

I couldn't care less. I enjoy his fights. Doesn't matter to me how people want to view his career or if they felt a certain way about this or that.

I have no issue with your take.

You keep doing you.

And yeah, folks would be fools to call themselves boxing fans and miss a Pacquiao fight.

[ShoulderRoll]

That question is too dumb to justify an answer for. You know why. Also considering Campbell didn't make weight for those titles and lost them the next fight, I think he'd have ****ed up that opportunity anyhow.

Yeah, fighting Oscar was a legitimate reason. I have already conceded that. Just goes to show you how little of that timeline I know which is why I was even asking in the first place.

But questioning why he didn't go after a unified champion at 135 instead of David Diaz before that is a legit question, too. Especially since both were available.

You’ll only be wasting your own time by replying in depth cause I ain’t even gonna read it. This whole argument is pointless...

I deliberately put that last just to test your comprehension.

Test my comprehension? Son, you can't even keep your own arguments straight. One minute you are saying "if anything he should have fought the lineal", the next minute (because it fits your half-azzed narrative) you are saying "he should have fought the other guy, not the lineal".

You're a fanboy and you've been exposed.

Unfortunately, there are plenty who think just like you...so, anything I write is directed at that mentality, not at just one person.

And, we both know you read it and still have no answer to it, so why bullshyt about it?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You are right.

It was Juan Diaz that he should have fought for the WBA/WBO/IBF titles instead of picking David Diaz for the WBC.

I learned something today.

juan diaz had just lost to campbell a week before the 2nd pac marquez fight. what did you learn?

[daggum]

david diaz was no great fighter. does anyone claim that? then again nate campbell was a journeyman before scoring that big upset over juan diaz. in retrospect yes campbell would have been better imo but moving up to fight a top 3 guy like david diaz in your first fight isnt the worst thing. he probably would have stayed at 135 but oscar tried to cherry pick him and the rest is history. its not like he moved up and fought an ancient gamboa

Genuinely didn’t read it...

A fanboy of who exactly?

Just let it go kid you’re just embarrassing yourself.
