    SRL, SRR, ODLH, Duran, benitez, Hearns, Judah, Corrales, vargas, Castillo, Marquez, Diaz, Chavez, Whitaker..

    ...I can go on and on about fighters who took on anyone anytime.

    Lol, do you understand when a fighter is improving that he needs to take easy fights to work on any deficiency?
    Can you tell me without a doubt that each of those fighters you mentioned fought top pound for pound fighters each fight all thru their carreer??

    Since you like qoutes heres one from merchant" dela hoya used to be matched with smaller fighters, but this small fighter (pac)...

    Tell me out of pacs last five who was the easy fight ? who did you pick pre fight to win? & who would have been better?

    As iv read you always pick against pac, so now that hes won you say hes a fraud? :hi:

    the mans so good, he retired FMJ without even facing him in the ring :hi:

    Answer my questions or apologise to everyone for being a troll chump

    I hate to see him taking willingly unnecessary punishment, like in Margarito fight but yeah. He's pretty perfect model of a fighter.

    For sure, I'm not into all that defensive minded ****. I like warriors who leave it all in the ring. Fools who have nutts the size of watermelons...like me! Seriously though, the dudes humble, he cares about other people, he's one athleate u can tell ur kids to look up to, and he's a ****ing BEAST in the ring. U can't even take ur eye's off the screen when he fights, that's mj special. What more can u ask for. Action is the name of the game, and pacs 100% action 100% of the time. Next to tyson and prince, Id never miss one of his fights.

    I will admit Pac is exciting to watch but he fights the weakest links and gets so much credit for doing so. He also needs a back bone to stand up to Arum and Roach once in awhile. He makes it seems as if he has no control over who he fights and that's bull ****. He needs to also stop fighting these catch weight fights, since he arrived in the welter weight division catch weights is all he been fighting. These are the reasons I don't accept him as being the p4p best despite how much the media tries to hype **** up. I still have my own mind and they can't hype that up.

    And so who should he fight?

    Everybody he fights is a cherrypicking from now on. He set his criteria too high. Pac is a vicitm of his own success. If he does not KO his opponent it is boring (Clottey), or does not have the power (Margarito), old (Hoya), ruined (Hatton, Cotto).

    If he fights Bradley (small), or Alexander (heartless). It seems that his critics are happy just to see him loss that they don't even see the incrdubility of matching with with Martinez.

    Pac is a victim of his own success.

    Some claim he does not fight the best possible but who actually does that?

    Definitely not Gayweather whose last opponents for the past 5 years are as follows ; Hatton at welter, JMM again at welter, and the old and ancient Mosley.

    Isal or Uli-uli would even contend that SRL fought all the best available fights just to discredit Pac. WTF? Everybody knows that SRL except of course Isal avoided some fights like plague.

    Probably the most over rated fighter in my lifetime, next to Whitaker, and then Hagler.......


    Whitaker was ****, could not break an egg.....

    Pacquiao while exciting lacks defensive boxing skills and boxing ability.

    So I say Whitaker was the worst.......

    Pacquiao while exciting at times, has limited ability.

    Limited ability? :patsch

    Lacks defensive skill? Check my stats a couple of pages back and try again

    limited boxing ability? So what you call the wins against Mab, marquez, eric morales , dela hoya, hatton , cotto, clottey & margarito? you think a limited boxer can win all of those?

    Amazing :nut

    From a fan's perspective, yes. But if i'm on his team, i want him to fight a little more cautiously. But i guess that's exactly WHY people love him so much just like people loved SRL. They didn't have to engage in wars but they chose to do it.

    he brings it every time he fights, he looks as if he enjoys fighting. I just wish they matched him against live bodies
