There is no question that PAC "can" fight legit WW's but that's not the issue. The issue is not the WW title PAC is looking for, it's the mythical P4P title that Cotto, shane and Floyd all want. PAC is the kingpin at 140, NOT 147. If they want PAC's title they go to PAC...not PAC go to thier division to fight for his own title. THat makes no sense. Unless PAC says otherwise since he's holding all the cards.
Yea he has couple of months back after arum defended margocheato for getting suspended. Cotto was upset at arum and said that after his contract with top rank is over he is planning to look at other options for him. I could see him signing with golden boy.
the whole catch weight prior day weigh in is bull****, i've said it before. Go back to same day weigh in. If your a WW then weight in that morning at WW, eliminate this bs of guys weighing in at 147 the day before, and stepping in the ring at MW or above. If you want to fight the bigger guy, fight him at that limit. this **** is so out of control.
Then guys get into the ring malnourished. I don't really see how it is so bad out of control that you would put the fighters in harm's way just to stop rehydration.
I've posted before, DLH was cherry picked cuz Roach knew he couldn't pull the trigger. Easy BIG payday. Nothing more.
Exactly, he won't take it if he knows he can't make the weight or will have issues there. He's not going to throw away his career just like that with the many possible big fights he can make.
He lost to morales once, and beat him after he was in many ring wars and washed up 1 draw to marquez, 1 win over marquez that a lot of people thought marquez won He beat an old dehydrated version of Oscar, even Pac nuthuggers have to acknowledge that. Great performance absolutely but if oscar was even 2 years younger and came to the ring more natural, not a chance pac would have had that kind of result. I will call Pac number 1 p4p when he beats mayweather. To me, that is the fair thing to do. Keep in mind, its not only the different belts in different weight classes floyd has won, its also the way he beats his opponents. He totally outboxes them making them look amateurish. Morales beat pac, i thought marquez beat him once and had a draw the other time. When Pac steps up and fights legitimate challengers, they arent as dominating as Floyd's wins.
You can dissect anyone's resume like you did for PAC. Floyd too......and it's been done many times on this board. For me its all BS. These men fight in the ring and risk their lives only for a small group of critics or fans to go behind them and make excuses to why they won or how their wins were not legit. They did the same thing to Robinson, Lonard, Ali, Jones, Toney and Nard. Instead of admiring what these "GREATS" have done in this sport people want to cast an unfair shadow over them. Not that it matters b/c the GREATS will be remembered as greats and the critics and haters are a small group, but its just insulting to say the least.
