Pacquiao has to take alot of the blame

yeah..pac only had 1 knockdown and an entire shutout. He was pressing the fight from the start. He's to blame. I also blame him for the economy.

 

Pacquiao does that in all his fights. He's a really sloppy fighter. He's just ****in' fast and awkward.

 

These people know their boxing.







NOT!

 

Pac has a lot of flaws. Sure.

But that guy who suppose to expose this one dimensional midget is still on vacation.. sigh

Darryl, who do you think can expose Pac at welterweight?

 

He is the one to blame for scaring the **** out of mosley from round 3 to 12

 

both hatton and cotto were in the top 10 p4p when they fought pac.

 

No one ripped Floyd for doing the same just a year earlier. While I agree that Shane didn't have a chance, he was the best option from a financial standpiont. Let's face the facts....there aren't any front runners to really give PAC a test right now except for MAYBE a Floyd Mayweather. But we all know the scoop on that. Martinez is the only other guy and he wasn't ready to come down to 147 and he was coming off anther fight at MW.

The majority of the blame has to be be on Shane...no one can make a grown man fight if he's unwilling.

 

He fought Hatton, Cotto, Morales, Barrera, Marquez, etc. All of them are P4P ranked fighters.

 

But Floyd Came in and fought JMM who was #2 P4P at the time- after inactivity and it was a "tune-up". Next fight was Floyd against Shane who was #3 P4P at the time. Seems like he fights against highly rated competition.

Manny fought Cotto, Hatton, Clottey, Margs, Diaz, and Mosely- none of which were top P4P guys when they stepped into the ring against Manny.

In college football, the university of Michigan was previosuly a powerhouse. But the past couple of years have been not so great. So a team beating Michigan now cannot claim this is a great win because the Michigan name is so historically special...it's not a great win because Michigan isn't good anymore. Same concept with pacq's competition. Its just like strength of schedule for the top 25 rankings.

 

JMM was also coming up not one but TWO weight classes against a younger, stronger, faster and bigger man. The odds were something like 11 to 1. So Floyd being in tune with the busienss end of things knew the NAME was good enough to make the fight...even though the odds clearly reflected what everyone already knew...it was a tune up.

Floyd facing shane was Floyd FIRST true fight as a Welter weight.....after being their 5 yrs. Sure Baldo and Zab were two fights at 147 but Carlos was riding a wave he caught by beating Zab who was NEVER a true Welter weight.

Cotto and Hatton were BOTH in the P4P ranks when PAC beat them and if you think that JMM was more of a threat than lets say Marg, Cotto, or Josh at 147 then you have a very warped view of the landscape at that time.

And I'm not sure what you are trying to get across using football to compare to Boxing. But I can see you put a lot of thought into it.
