Did team Pac duck the slick Black boxer after watching him beat the hell out of Morales? Why did Pac not fight Raheem, but instead fought a drained Morales at a weight he could no longer make? Why years later it seems that the trend continues, fight the guy who just got his ass beat at a questionable weight? Hey im just asking question, good morning *******s and real Pac fans I'm just joking about the black fighter comment, but on the real I always wanted to know so if u know why speak on it Please try not to answer the question with a question.
Pacquiao/Morales rematch was already signed and official before Morales fought Raheem. Pac fought Morales and beat him more impressively than anyone else has. Morales exercised his rematch clause for a 3rd fight with Pac. Raheem is a 135lb fighter and Pacquiao was a 130lb fighter at the time. Raheem/Freitas was signed. Raheem loses and no one gives a **** about him after that. /lesson
Raheem got robbed against Freitas after the Morales fight, so it wasn't really on the table, Raheem had a pretty unlucky career, people assume he beat Morales because he was bigger but he was fighting at 126 himself the year before. Pacquaio did cherry pick the weakest titlist at 135 when the division was stacked though
It was a **** fight that both fighters deserved to lose. I dont think its possible to give either fighter more than 7 rounds. Far from a robbery.
are you even aware of the events back then? pac-morales was a contract for a trilogy if morales' camp exercised their right for a rematch. what happened was morales did want a rematch even if they won already and lost to raheem. pacquiao was bounded by a contract to fight morales. let me guess, you are only following floyd back then that's why you don't know this?
Because pac is not a 135 fighter back then and he lost to morales in his first fight with him and he want to avenge his defeat?
It's a question that would have more validity if Raheem wouldve won after beating Morales. And right when he was getting a nice win streak after that fight, he loses badly to Funeka. I see no duck here. The question I see and hear most often from the Pacquiao-Haters is the possible ducking of Joan Guzman.
Raheem landed the cleaner stuff all night, he was also definately jobbed against Juarez. All this HBO focusing on stars and exciting brawlers really hurts world class boxers who have a more negative style and it saw Raheem being frozen out Pacquaio didn't duck him but he certainly would have had a good career if he had the luxury of some fighters match making and he might just have had the style to beat a 2005 Pacquaio at 130/135
Thanks I honestly wanted to know, as I recall though wasn't Raheem cheated on the fight he lost? That's also a honest question.
