Had PAC faugt these 3 over MAB, JMM and EM BELIEVE ME!!! People would be saying that he ducked the very BEST of his division....they would have said he was waiting for them to get old....beating up on unproven or lesser foes ect. PAC for as dominating and as good as he is will always be in a LOOSE, LOOSE situation from some critics and fans. Part of the territory when you are the man in your profession.
Larios was a tuneup to Morales 2, dont tell me Morales 2 wasnt a real opponent. Watch that fight, that war and tell me that wasn't a live opponent there. Pac was loosing the first 6 rounds before turning it around ffs. Solis was a tuneup, not a bad tuneup considering he was an undefeated fighter and currently ranked #1 by 2 bodies. MAB 2 was the rematch a lot were asking for, and Ive got a feeling you probably were asking for too. Many made excuses about the first fight and MAB threatened to retire if he didnt get the rematch. MAB gave Pac his big break, why not give MAB a rematch? He fights JMM 2 thereafter. Diaz was a tuneup...he fights ODLH after who was considered more dangerous than any other 135lb out there, pre-results. Pac's comp was as good as it got. People just like to twist things to their agenda after all the crap has blew over. IE in 2 years time everyone would have forgotten than Pac was a HUGE underdog against DLH and pretend he was the bully picking on ol Oscar.
He didn't give him fits. Solis only won 1 round in the whole fight. However it was indeed a sloppy fight in the early rounds.
Pac would've beaten these guys and probably rated P4P#15 or lower by now. In terms or marketability, Pac probably worth a few hundred thousand dollars per fight by now! IMHO, Pac did the right thing fighting a pair of 29 yr old SHOT Mexican fighters instead of the unproven pretenders, err...i mean contenders.
People can't really question his resume. At 130-35 he was the best fighter around and took the big money fights. I'm a huge JMM fan, but this kid does not duck anyone. Had there been a big enough push for him to fight Valero, Soto, etc... Pac would have taken the fights no problem
hmm says.... ok since this topic keeps popping up... I'm gonna post just to up my post count. He should've beaten the ones he lost before Morales I. first lost: was dominating his opponent but got careless and was caught with a blind body blow which knocked him out. he was overconfident and careless like an Amir Khan second lost: moved up in weight without proper training or a proper trainer and lost in his first match.
This thread starter isn't too smart. Pac IS considered a great fighter. Along the lines of Morales and Barrera.
