    But Pac does not get this same criticism, especially since he's only had one fight in the last 5 yrs where he was an underdog (against Oscar).

    But he was favored over EVERY SINGLE other opponent he has faced since then, and there was never any real Danger of him losing.

    So, do people actually believe that Floyd only takes fights he KNOWS he will win, but Pac takes on dangerous challenges that are suicidal in nature?:huh

    Freddie Roach: "SSM came to our gym and wanted a fight after he beat Margarito". I told him could he come in at 142 he said he didn't know but Pacman fought De La hoya at 147". "Roach then said your not De La Hoya your too good we can have a fight at 147 (2009)".


    Real talk!

    Another question, who wants to see a fighter in a fight where he doesnt think he's going to win?

    Mayweather leftovers. Weight drained. Shitty judges. Stupid catchweights. Assassinations. Any combination of.

    floyd scouts losing opponents when he's on vacation.

    so cut this crap. floyd fights every 16 months. its not a vacation. he just picks and chooses.

    That's like criticising a Klitschko for not taking fights where they're the underdog. Pac has been the p4p number 1 for years now, of course he is going to be the favourite
