    You sound like a hopeful child that still believes in Santa Claus.

    You do know who Santa Claus is, right? Not sure if they have him in the Phillippines :rofl

    So your 'defense' of Pac being accused of cherrypicking is to state that he's actually too dayum dumb and naïve to do it himself?

    Help me understand how that really helps Pac's case? :huh

    he didn't say that. He said that Fighting Margo will not prove who is the best meaning that Margo is not the best 147lber at the time.

    No...he wouldn't. :nono I recall when Bob Arum and Roach tried to get Pac in the ring with Yuri Foreman, Pac declined, saying Foreman was "too tall." :yep

    Rubbish, it was suggested by Arum, not exactly concrete, he would have fought but instead fought Cotto. Foremans the same height as ODLH and Margo, so silly.

    Of course it wasn't concrete, Pac declined it. And those were Pac's words, which I agree were silly. True...Cotto did step up and fight Foreman, instead.

    Cotto was already fighting Foreman, Pac didn't say those words, Arum suggested it because he knew Foreman wasn't a PPV draw, Pac said he would fight the winner.

    Why would Pac avoid Foreman when Foreman bought nothing to the table he couldn't easily deal with and fought just as tall people anyway. Plus Cotto was a much better fighter and Pac fought him, the winner.

    Nope...Pac said he would only fight Cotto at 154, if he beat Foreman. He said Foreman was "too tall." I agree it doesn't make much sense, and Foreman questioned it too.

    Is believing in Santa Clause that much more different than believing in god? I mean they both see you when you're sleeping and know when you're awake. They both know whether you've bad or good...
