    I am interested in some people's opinions that Pac has not fought the best coming into welterweight and only have fought shot fighters.

    He has beaten
    Ledwaba
    Barrera
    Marquez
    Morales
    Larios
    Solis
    Diaz
    DLH
    Hatton
    Cotto.

    ok, if he has ducked someone, please replace the fighers in this list which the ones he "supposely" ducked.
    Also please tell me how the fight would of went.
    Please do not replace Cotto with Judah:yep

    I can't say Pac ducked anyone. His team definately avoided Guzman though. Marquez was avoided by team Pac for several years. Campbell would've been a better opponent than Diaz considering Campbell had beaten Juan Diaz and had 3 belts, while Diaz was a paper champ coming off a gift decsion against a washed up Morales. That was a cherry picked title. His team avoided Mosley as well. I can't blame him for that though. That's a tough fight considering he was moving up. Cotto is also a bigger draw, and a fellow Top Rank fighter. A guy in Pac's position is always going to avoid some people, but he's fought his share of good fighters.

    Not gonna say he ducked but I think Joan Guzman could have beat him at 130 or 135.

    Humberto Soto was a very talked about fight also and after Soto beat Bobby Pac it looked like it was gonna happen.

    Nobody. You can't make a case for Guzman and Campbell when he goes on to fight the Cotto's and Hatton's of the world at higher weight classes.

    Guzman would have been the toughest. Problem with Joan why I think Pac beats him is that hes a poor mans version of Juan Diaz as far as power, he is easy to hit and the most important thing, He gasses.

    I see Pac pressuring all night walking thru Joan, hitting him, Joan might bother Pac with his speed and may actually dish as many as he gets but for a speedy fighter like him, his defense is porous.

    Off the point here....Do you know who Joan Guzman is??

    I donth think he ducked many people, his timing has been great at getting opponents at the right time (not nessaserily in a bad way)....Plus the guy is a ****ing good fighter!!!

    anyone he didn't fight, he avoided. You can also make a case that he avoided Juan Diaz, who called Pacquiao out after he beat Julio Diaz.

    Yeah Joan Guzman who has little power, runs around the ring, easy to get hit, fast hands and gets tired quick..and the one who cant make weight.
    Maybe I have the wrong Guzman

    Joan Guzman and Oscar Larios were on the top of Team Pac's list back at 122. I remember this very clearly. Back when Guzman was a KO punching machine. "Little Tyson"

    And he said that he wanted to clear out the division and be undisputed 122 champ.

    And then the Barrera fight presented itself suddenly.


    Please nobody spread that lie anymore. He never ducked Guzman.

    Well, he did. And then cherrypicked Barrera.

    :cool:
