    You're hatred is making you blind.

    Hatton was on a 2 fight win streak before he fought pac
    Cotto was on a 2 fight win streak before he fought pac
    Margarito just came back from suspension and had his tune up before pac.
    Only clottey had loss prior to facing pacquiao.

    Get off the haterade and tell your boy to come out of vacation.

    Cotto lost to Margarito. Then won 2 straight which included a title defense over Clottey before fighting Pac.

    What "evidence" did you see in the Foreman fight? Cotto looked good there and he was winning and had Foreman running around even before Foreman had that knee injury

    Hatton came off two wins.. I'll give him that.
    Cotto beat Jennings :lol: and Clottey decided not to fight at the end of the fight and Cotto won that.. Good one.
    Margarito is self explanatory. Who did he beat in Mexico again?
    Clottey should have actually had the biggest win streak against Manny but he decided he didn't want to beat Cotto for some reason.

    Good job answering one of those! :good Now who's the opponents with good movement and/or counterpunching?

    Cotto beat Jennings.. How good did you rate Jennings before that fight?
    Cotto beat Clottey who decided not to fight at the end of the fight. Many people felt Clottey would have won it if he decided to actually fight.

    Cotto beat Foreman. How high did you rate Foreman before that fight? Cotto of old should/would have whiped the floor with dude. Cotto is not Cotto of old.

    So he hasn't fought an opponent that is a good counter puncher. Big deal he still fought rank opponent @ 140-147 lbs. Cotto and clottey were in the top 10 welterweight division when pac fought them.

    Hatton was # 1 when they fought. Margarito and Clottey only happen cuz you boy went on vacation.

    Now who has floyd fought the last 2 years who is under 35? :lol:

    Think about it, who would've thought Pac will fight all these guys when he was fighting at 130 let alone beat the **** out of these fighters? I don't care how wasted all they are at the point when Pac fought them but him fighting all these just to stay busy is ridiculously absurd and almost unfathomable.. Think about Donaire beating the **** out of Khan Bradley Alexander and Berto eventually in years to come, that's what Pac basically did :good:good

    No. Prize fighters don't just decide out of the blue not to fight. Something in that fight made him act like that.

    Foreman is not a bum. He was 29-0 prior to the Cotto fight and was the WBA champ.

    I would like to see pac and marquez back in the ring but to be honest, marquez is a lightweight not a junior welterweight, it would be a total mismatch just like the floyd mayweather debacle when he made marquez come up 2 divisions, they could always say well he didnt have to take that fight...BULL****....that much money on the line of course he's gonna take the fight, hell marquez would get in there with the klitchko's for that amount of money, hell he would pound away on wladimir's nut sack for the dough he would be getting. Anyway pac is too big now and he is cleaning out the welter division, if he can't secure a fight with floyd his only options will be to go back down to 140 and clean up there.

    I think Clottey who fought Cotto will beat Berto and JMM at 147 for sure so its not even a question why Clottey was chosen instead if the two. Why Clottey didn't fight like he's capable off? Only him knows the answer.. Was he afraid to open up and get knocked out? Was the trainer not granted a visa the reason he wasn't prepared? Was he really suffering from food poisoning before the fight? Maybe... Only him can answer all these.. Bottom line is, Pac totally dominated Clottey like no other... :good

    The big deal is they are fighters made for Manny's style to thrash. Of course the fights played out like they did.

    Hatton was a good choice, no knock on that. There was nobody else in boxing around Manny's weight instead of an unlicensed cheater to fight, okay dude. Clottey's beat by punches in bunches because he's too defensive... Another fighter made for Manny's style.

    Mayweather fights a lot less per year.. Out of his last 4 fights 2 were. :thumbsup

    What made him act like that? Cotto throwing him to the ground? :lol: But in all seriousness what did?

    Who did Foreman beat before and or after Cotto to you think he's good... Again how high did you rate him before the Cotto fight? And what was it based off of besides his undefeated record?

    So if you have a style that works well against fighters...you cannot fight them or you get little credit? Please don't tell me you believe that nonesense. Because you've just discredited many of the best ever.... :-(
