    It all has to do with which side of the fence you are on, and that's for every fighter in boxing history.

    But for someone who hates on Pacquiao, seeing him win these later fights just debunks every argument they have so they just have to resort to these steroids allegations. :tired

    Pacquiao has surpassed the bars they ridiculously put up, and being the assholes that they are they aren't man enough to admit greatness even if it bit them in their asses.

    :lol: No dickhead, no.

    At 130lbs, they fought three times, Pac owned him twice.

    At 122-126lbs, Morales beats him, because he was prime there and Pac wasn't.

    Above 135lbs, Pac annihilates him, because he is prime there and Morales isn't.

    My posts on the subject are far better than yours, you hate-filled ********. :good

    You're a cowardly ***** like always. Pac said certain things were wrong for him on the night (which everyone does when they lose), but neither he nor anyone else tries to say that Morales wasn't the better man on the night, so your thread is bull****, like all of your ***** threads are.

    He was still a better fighter than Jose Luis Castillo, and Castillo beat Floyd.

    Of course I know they fought at 130 - what's your point? :huh

    Pac is better above 130 than he was below. Morales was better below 130 than he was above. What's your problem with this simple statement?

    Clottey? No-one else.

    Cotto? Margarito with loaded gloves.

    Marquez? No-one has ever bulldozed him, including Pac and Floyd.


    ****ing ******.

    I'm a fan of both guys but lets be honest, Pacquiao had A LOT going against him in this fight. He was tested before it in tests he physically can't handle so early before a fight, then comes the gloves issue which is a major one as proven in the rematch, issues with the promoter, taking Morales lightly and a bad cut to put an end to any hopes in the 4th from an accidental headbutt.

    Of course no one can take anything away from Morales' performance, he did what he had to do successfully and outboxed Pacquiao because he was able to take the punches Pacquiao delivered. Though as you saw in the rematch with Pacquiao focusing on both the body and head, using movement, smart unpredictable attacks and the right gloves he was able to break down Morales and nearly floor him from a single punch in the 2nd round from the first clean timed punch he landed. Taking Morales lightly in the first fight makes sense because Morales was coming off a loss to Barrera and Barrera is someone they destroyed with ease so they didn't expect what they got.
