    You forgot to put out the memo to Cotto about the right hand that put him down the first time or to Margarito that staggered him at the 10th round with a right counter.:lol::lol:

    Hatton did not get the memo too?

    And that is the gist of the story - right hand.

    TL : DR = Pac use PEDs, fixes fights, fights only drain/old/shot, has trainer visa's revoked, load gloves, no technical skill, ducks SBFs, has never faced decent WW competition, small enough to go to 140 and big enough to fight 154, eats dogs.

    Basically, worst champion of the decade.


    Got it.

    This is Floyd's favorite video.:rofl Floyd has been singing this tune ever since the world made PAC fighter of the decade. Unfortunately Floyd hasn't done in his entire career what PAC has been able to do in just over 8 yrs. Impressive, given Floyd himself has a pretty stellar career.....it's just not on level with PAC.

    I dont have a problem with this statement at all, which is why I have'nt been one to criticize Pacquiao's choice of opposition until this fight with Mosley came up.

    I mean why the hell would a fighter of Pacquiao's size and abilities chose to fight a physical freak and nightmare of a matchup for him in say a Paul Williams matchup????

    I can understand that side of it sure, and not only that an easier style matchup like Margarito or even Mosley is more of a moneymaker than a Paul Williams fight would ever be.........

    .......however, in the final anaysis of Pacquiao the fighter, the types of opponents he takes on goes into the equation to determine just how good a fighter he is.

    Pacquiao since his move up from 130 lbs I dont believe has taken up fighting a mandatory. Alot of these mandatory fights can many times be a styles clash nightmare for a champion, which is why there is something to be respected about a fighter that sticks to a division for sometime, takes on all comers and cleans that divsion out.
    Pacquiao has strictly chosen who, when, and where he fights for several fights now, so obviously a fighter given his choice will pick to fight opponents he likely to look good against.

    So Pac used PEDs to beat all those carefully matched, cherrypicked, down the hill fighters?

    Got it. Thanks.

    To be fair, many other past greats have been carefully matched as well.

    ......and even though I feel that Pacquiao has recentlyl been matched with specific styles that suit his strenghths, imo he's naturally just too small to have been able to beat alot of these fighters without the PED's he's been using.

    Even people that think Pacquiao's been on the PED's dont like it put bluntly like that, but thats just how I feel about it.....no reason to just not come out and say it!

    Really good vids and i have thought his myself for awhile about the opponents since JMM

    The only way he doesnt outbox Pac again in a future fight is his age, now almost 38 (for the record thought he won both fights anyway)
