    I am one of the Biggest Critics of Manny Pacquiao...But this **** is going way too far. My Issues with Manny are simply Not Fighting Joan Guzman and Zahir Raheemn (especially after Raheem beat Morales....EASY) STRAIGHT BULL****!!!! And also, the repeated request for Mosley to drop to some ridiculous weight of 142lbs for a possible fight the LINEAL TITLE, before deciding to Fight Cotto for a his Paper Title...at a catchweight (again...STRAIGHT BULL****). I just didn't understand fighting Morales a 3rd time nor Barrera a 2nd time...WHY?

    However, the fights with JMM are legendary, he did destroy Hatton, whooped Cotto's ass...Can't hate on any of those fights. But I will add that there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING impressive about beating Clottey and and Margarito. But all that other ****...is just pure HATING!!! Pacquiao is the Real Deal. My beef, is that I want him to fight a fighter/fighters who are also "THE REAL DEAL", that has speed, athleticism and skill. NO MORE BIG STIFFYS...PLEASE!!!!

    How can any self respecting boxing fans agree with this troll who make threads like "The Miz is the new WWE World Champion" http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=270109 :nut

    Why don't you play a nice game of "hide and go kill yourself"?

    Prime for prime, its clear that a prime Prime would nail Pacquiao prime or no prime.

    i think pac is overrated too but in this you are talking **** at some points!!

    Barrera 1: past prime but still a great opponent for manny.
    Morales 1: :good
    Morales 2: :good
    Morales 3: :good
    JMM 1: :good
    JMM 2: :good
    Barrera2: :good
    Diaz: :good No big thing!
    DLH: :good
    Hatton: Past prime and wide open but not weight drained.
    Cotto: Not the same after Marg, as proven against Clottey.
    Clottey: Coming off the back of a loss to the destroyed version of cotto and never would be a threat to the lightening fast pacman anyway!
    Margarito: Biggest joke of pacs career after De La Hoya. Some will say Pac showed great heart and took a lot of punishment. I say he showed great heart but should have been easier against a fighter who is as slow and ploddy as Marg is.

    They were not weight drained. They have to lose weight by choice because
    they agreed to a contract to fight at a certain weight level. Morales was no way
    forced to drain himself in the 2nd fight because he was the defending the champion
    and Manny cannot dictate to him his own terms. Same w/ DLH who dictated his own terms like purse sharing, gloves, even the contracted weight, etc . Manny only agreed to what Oscar wanted.

    The TS doesn't know anything about boxing.

    Yes! There was really a need to overate this midget from the very start. Imagine they can overate american boxer but instead they chose this midget from asia.

    140 is Hatton's fighting weight. He had ruled this division unbeaten until
    Pac knocked him out. He should not have agreed to fight at 140 if he cannot make the weight.
