    The first fight was a dominant beat down.

    Cause Pacquiao wanted to fight fighters that are now past their primes coming off losses. Hints as to why Pacquiao fought Morales 3 times after 3times Morales was coming off a loss.

    Living legend, deserved a rematch, worked his way back up to it with wins over Ayala, Morales, Peden. Even though he lost to Marquez the fight before, some were giving him a chance to reverse the loss to Pac. Didn't mean anything for Pac other than the best payday he could get at the time. It would've added more to Pac's resume had he fought a guy like Valero, Guzman, or Soto instead.

    The first fight when Pacquiao fought Morales, Morales was coming off a loss against Barrera. In the rematch before facing Pacquiao, Morales was coming off a lost to Raheem. The third fight Morales was coming off a tko to Pacquiao badly in the rematch. When Pacquiao fought Barrera in the rematch, Barrera was coming off a loss to Marquez.

    coming off a loss means? you're shot? you're gonna lose again definitely? you have no more will to fight? is that what you're saying?

    GBP and Top Rank just had closed a friendly deal to work together on making fights. Barrera-Pacquiao was first on the list of their money-making events

    it means you may not be on the top of your game. I'd rather fight a guy who's deserved his shot at me. If two guys fight, why would you fight the loser and avoid fighting the winner right after?

    Im saying is Pacquiao didnt face any fighters at 130 pounds besides marquez that was at their best and didnt coming off losses. Pacquiao could have fought better fighters at that time like Guzman, Soto but yet he rather face coming off losses past their prime fighters at that weight class. And its the truth.
