Fights that pacquiao won
Margarito got demolished by Mosley, a year layoff, and a fight 12 round fight with a nobody
Clottey was coming of of a loss to cotto.
Of course he won them they are tune ups/ gimmie mes (well I cant say of course he won them because according to pacquiaos camp Marquez was supposed to be a gimme fight twice. And we all know how those turned out)

You can argue they were ****ty fights (because pacquiao was that much better) or that arum was milking pacquiao, but what were they tuneups for?

forget the money, and the tune-up, he should'nt fight in April period. Whenever you get K.O.'d there is a time period where no contact is allowed ( ie sparring.) somewhere between 60-90 days
let him get his $h!t together then fight whomever they pick.
Luv him or hate him, you should never wanna see somebody get jacked up later in life because he was rushed back early because of the greed of some chump who doesn't step foot in the ring.Last edited by 2todabody; 01-26-2013, 06:11 PM.
