I picked Hatton over tsyzu, Calzaghe over Lacy, Pac over DLH, Mosley over Margarito & Pac over Hatton. Basically, my predictions are backed up with success and careful analysis, not like a lot of posters here where their entire analysis is based on one bloody thing. Either too big or because the other person hasnt proven it yet, he cant do it.
Were you a world champion beating the lineal champ when you weighed 10lbs? Pac was a world champ when he was a flyweight...that says enough.
Its not a myth, wether he was the smaller man or not is irrelevant, he was perceived as the smaller man so therefore each time people used the size excuse against him. At 126 people felt MAB was the bigger man and Pac's power wasnt gonna carry...they were wrong. At 130, all you can hear Lampley & Steward saying was that he was a 126lb fighter...again wrong. At 135 many doubted his chances against Diaz, hence why he wasnt an 8-1 favourite as Floyd was over Baldo, only 2-1, because of Diaz size...again wrong, Pac proved to carry everything with weight. At 147 weight drained or not, Oscar was too big...wrong again, he was still too big anyways hence why Pac opted to box. At 140, Apparently Pac never faced a real good big man, ODLH was a corpse...never could be more wrong. Wrong.
:huh So you expect me to believe that you're 100% correct all the time? I bet you picked Mosley to KO Margorito in 9 right? The point is Manny has never faced a big WW who can take a punch...And you pac fans expect people to believe he can just KO everybody since he KO Hatton and forced De La Hoya to retire on his stool...I dont see that happening.
These bigger guys have to hit Pac - which may be a challenge; but pac was hurt by smaller guys. Imagine a really hard solid landing punch from one of these big guys. It would be lights out.
I picked Mosley UD, if anything I overestimated Margo's chin but regardless, my analysis was spot on, skill & speed beat the plodder. I didnt think Mosley was gonna run looking pretty, wast his style. I dont expect you to believe me 100% of the time...but to laugh and disregard my belief like that is very ignorant of you, I didnt pick Pac because im a *******, I picked him because I think he would win, and that carries a lot of weight considering my success in picking fights. See what I mean about 1 dimensional analysis...people see 1 attribute and base everything on that...picture the fight in your head and really see if thats big enough of an attribute? People said exactly the same thing about Hatton, Pac never fought a real WW/jWW so dont expect us to believe it can happen...bull****, Mosley never beat up on a flyweight but it damm well can happen. For the record, before Hatton Pac has never knocked out a JWW, I made £200 on that fight, calling Pac KO inside 3...also told my friend to do so and he also made £200. Would have made more but some Hatton fans had me doubting.
From the get go of the Marg scandal I knew that the real tragedy of the whole thing wasn't gonna be how people judged Marg from now on but how people were going to belittle Mosley's win. It turned out to be a justified concern from the look of this thread. That wasn't just a 37 year old man in there. That was the Sugar Man:happy
