did pacquaio duck Zahir Raheem?

Shut up.

 

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

 

*******?:roflatsch

Pacquaio ducked Zahir Raheem? Are you ******ed?

 

yea right...

 

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.

 

yeah that too, forgot that one.

 

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
