    Is this the kind of resume a supposed ATG and 1 # p4p fighter should have? I would expect better opposition for someone being called a top 10 ATG.

    Clottey was actually coming of a loss, and De la Hoya had only won one fight since losing to Mayweather. We also must look the competition faced where these fighters racked up their impressive >2 win streak. The names include Robert Garcia, Michael Jennings, Juan Lazcano, and Steve Forbes.

    The saddest part is most of these fighters Pac faced didn't just lose, they were destroyed and humiliated. Many thought Hatton, Cotto, Margarito and De la Hoya would ever fight against after their decisive loses.

    Unfortunately for Pac there is a thing called context. On paper just seeing the names might seem somewhat impressive, but when you look at the context, the only impressive thing is people are actually impressed by his last 5 wins.

    the thing is pacquiao should be struggling with these guys, he is just a destroying them easily, before every pac fight people always suspect the upset. and who has a great wining streak besides mayweather?

    That's because they fought tough fights, many against each other.

    Why stop at 2 win streak? Why not 3, while you're at it. How bout the last 10 fights instead of 5.

    OMG. Where do you guys come from.

    "Otherwise, he'll go down in history as Fraud Mayfeather, the self-nominated "all time great" who refused to fight the most popular and most electric fighter of his own era.

    He talks like an ATG but walks like a duck and quacks like a duck leading millions of decent, ordinary people of all racescreeds and religions to think, well then, he is a duck.

    Let him think he's a Sugar Ray Leonard because he'll be one, one who ducked Thomas Hearns, one who ignored Roberto Duran."

    in pac's last six fights starting w/ d. diaz, only one of his opponents survived (Clottey - for obvious reasons) to attend the post-fight press conference. all the other 5 had to be brought out on stretchers and taken to the hospital immediately after the fight.

    Let's see then who you would have picked to fight Pacquiao instead of those 5 opponents to have a better resume than he does right now. We'll be waiting.
