    :D I think he is good, but not as good as many people claim to be. You still can't deny that what is being said is true.

    I think its more a question of Pac having very vocal and passionate groups of haters.

    Exactly you dont want to watch it because you are a biased ******* , this is a typical ******* , sorry Pacquiao is exposed by Freddie Roach himself.


    Pacquiaos only good victory is the first Barrera fight.

    So you're saying that De La Hoya wasn't a great matchmaking job by Arum? Oscar who was a part time fighter, and didn't look great taking on Forbes at 150? Oscar who hadn't thought at 147 since his Gatti matchup? :huh

    So you're saying that Hatton wasn't a great matchmaking job by Arum? Ricky Hatton who's punch resistence was diminished as evidenced by his fight with Lazcano?

    Cotto? After a brutal fight with Margo, and then Clottey? Arum was close to Cotto, he must of known that Joe Santiago wasn't worth anything as a trainer, and saw an opening to feed his cashcow. Mosley wanted the Pac fight at this point and Roach offered him the fight at 143lbs, Mosley said he couldn't make it, and Roach said fine, no fight. Mosley was considered legit WW champion of the world after beating Margarito who'd beat Cotto. (Funny how a few years later they are more than happy to fight Shane at the 147 limit isn't it?)

    Clottey? Clottey was tailor made for Pacquaio, look at the ****ing style contrast, and how did Clottey earn his Pacquaio fight? He lost to Cotto. Bradley, Mosley, or Marquez were much better options, but weren't promoted by Top Rank:huh

    Want me to keep going?

    DLH was great matchmaking. He brought Pacquiao to the mainstream public in USA and became a PPV star. Most people thought he would lose, yet on fight night it proved to be a brilliant plan as they knew just how drained DLH would be.

    Cotto = Catchweight fight + Got destroyed by Margarito with plasters , Margarito = Catchweight fight + Was banned from boxing , Hatton = Lost his 0 against Mayweather , Clottey = A bum , Mosley = 39 years old + Lost his belt against Mayweather , De La Hoya = De La Hoya was weight drained + Lost his belt against Mayweather , Morales 1 & 2 = Morales was weight drained and came off a loss against Zahir Raheem , Marquez 1,2 & 3 = Controversy

    Like I said its easy to call those great matchmaking in hindsight, but who were the guys Pacquiao should have fought instead? I'm still waiting for somebody to name them.


    Basically anytime somebody dominates somebody else it could be construed as "great matchmaking". Nobody was calling Cotto / Hatton / De La Hoya great matchmaking before those fights were made. De La hOya was actually a huge favorite to win. Are you telling me Arum cherry picked Hoya who was the huge betting favorite and had just as much of a hand in making that fight happen? If anything, based on the odds , Hoya was cherry picking Pacquiao. If you were around these boards during that time no body was giving Pac a chance to win and people were bashing Oscar for picking on a smaller fighter.

    Stop trying to brainwash people with your *******ism , Pacquiao and his camp are cherry pickers , Pacquiao never beat a good fighter in his prime + at his natural weight (Barrera is the only one) .

    I've given you examples of who Pacquaio should of fought! I can go even further back and tell you that instead of fighting David Diaz, Pacquaio actually avoided Juan Diaz! Juan ****ing Diaz!

    Arum knew Oscar was ****ed, anyone watching 24/7 who knew what they were seeing knew Oscar was ****ed.

    Go through every fight since Hoya, they wasn't cherrypicks?! ****ing *******s.

    The cool part about it...JMM chases Pac up to lightweight and knocks out Diaz in the process. Not to mention Katsidis or Casamayor :rasta

    Obviously, you have forgotten that Pacquiao was a former flyweight at 106 lbs. and these boxers are indisputably bigger than him. Jumping from weight class to weight class is no mean feat.
