    raheem beat morales...pac chose to fight morales.

    soto and guzman fought for a shot at pac....guzman wins easily, arum calls him a clown and says he blew his opportunity.

    pac moves up to 135 without fighting raheem, guzman or valero. all would have beat him imo.

    Actually Arum purposely tanked Raheem's career and denied him the chance to fight pac.
    Raheem fought to get out of his contract with Arum because of it.

    There was no ducking. Instead, Rahim got his ass spanked by Frietas, lost his title and Pac wanted to avenge his Morales loss

    It's not rocket science.

    These are the type of fighters Pac has avoided most his career. He excels against guys who come foward and bang with him because he has the faster hands.

    Every boxer missed out on fighting someone. Dig into any fighters history and that will always be the case. You can't fight everyone. Pacquaio also completely sidestepped Nate Campbell who was considered the man at LW to fight the much weaker Diaz. Nate was challenging Pac to step up but they wanted no part of him.

    And there was a HUGE demand to see Pacquiao fight Diaz?

    Because of the same reason Mayweather apparently ducked Baldomir back in 2006 when he fought Judah. Pacquiao was already signed and dated to fight Morales in a rematch. That entire event, which featured Pacquiao on the undercard, was a big promotion to Pacquiao vs Morales II.

    even in our life, we have different paths. we only chose one that we think will lead us to our goal. keep changing your path and it will lead no where. there is no perfect path and the imperfections lead to lessons for better life. if pac fought all challenges, he would not be where he is now. a ppv star and a challenge at the top of boxing p4p.......
