    Hey stupid... NO ONE knew ODLH would be drained. EVERYONE, including you, picked Oscar to win.

    But you didn't even answer... WHAT obligation did Pac have to fight raheem? NONE...

    I've said a hundred times Floyd would have still won. But since you read about as well as Pimp, you two have no idea what I was even saying. :lol:

    True. Morales even looked pudgy in the ring w/ Raheem. But for some reason, Pac HAD to face Raheem per @22JM 's idiocy...

    And had Pacquiao done that people would have said he was ducking the rematch with Morales. It made more sense for Pacquiao to try and avenge his loss to Morales.

    JMM is an easier match-up for Mayweather.

    Cotto, ODLH, Hatton and others were easier match-ups for Pacquiao.

    The same Guzman who got a gift against Funeka and failed to make weight in the rematch and in numerous fights after where he achieved **** all. Casa was way past it and got beat by roidquez just a few months after Pac beat Diaz not to mention Babby Bull who was beat by Campbell two months after Pac won the 135 pound title.

    So basically you wanted Pac to stay at 135 and fight three fighters coming of losses instead of fighting Oscar for the biggest payday of his career and a fight that could and did establish Pac as a bonafide star.

    You make a lot of sense as usual.

    Everyone looks at Pac beating DLH in hindsight. What Pac did at the time is equivalent to Loma moving up to 140 to beat Pacquiao now.

    Exactly.

    The fight was considered a mismatch at the time and Oscar was heavily criticized for picking on the much smaller Pac it was only after Pac lit up DLH in impressive fashion that the jealous bottom of the barrel floyd fanboys and the butthurt mexicans started downgrading Pacs win and performance, the same morons who didnt gave Pac a chance to beat Oscar.

    These dudes have no credibility.

    Pbf missed weight that was wrong and he didnt try to make it after missing weight instead he offered to pay jmm money. I dont know what they weighed in the ring on fight night but most likely pbf weighed more.

    Except Lomachenko doesn't want that smoke... At 140, 137, or 135.

    I think the Mayweather name and legacy Is secure in boxing. Earnings/money wise the aim was not to make $100 Million Dollars but to multiple that several fold to create generational wealth which is what he has done by earning over a Billion dollars in his career.

    The odds would also be different, while Oscar was the overwhelming favorite against Pacquiao, I can see Loma being potentially even to even a favorite at 140, and definitely a favorite at anything under that like 137 or 135.

    Anyone here that watches mma would you guys say that Pacquiao vs Lomachenko on a catchweight is a more impressive fight than GSP vs Khabib at 155.
