    What does that have to do with what I said?

    Just admit you quoted the wrong person.

    We've got a conspiracy theorist here. "They" are in the building. I guess casinos are paying USADA.

    Out of the two which guy has a LONG history of avoiding fights, cherry picking opponents, waiting for years to fight opponents so they get old, etc? Case closed.

    Pacquiao. But more Arum than Pacquaio.

    Who was 38? Case closed.

    What are you talking about? Who did I misquote?? May didnt want the fight plain an simple. He took the fight when Pac was well past his prime. A fairly common MO for May.

    You misquoted me. Nothing you are saying related to the post you are quoting.

    If I misquoted then you indeed have my apologies. That's not what I intended.

    The fight would not have happened in 2010, even if Pacquiao had agreed to testing, right up to the first bell.

    Freddie Roach is on record stating he wouldn't put Pacquaio in with Joan Guzman who was top 3 with Manny over 3 divisions, 122-130. They also ducked the JMM rubber match after winning a gift decision and fought the worst lightweight titlist in David Diaz instead. They waited until Marquez 38yo to grant him the rubber match. Then after Marquez schools Pacquaio in one of the worst robberies in history, JMM-Pac 3, he somehow fights Bradley first before taking the 4th fight.

    You just have to look at the matchmaking for Pacquaio since he moved to Arum. They don't put him in with anyone who could box and move. Raheem pitched a shut out on Morales before Pacquaio beat him. Does Pacquaio face him? No. Does Pacquaio face Guzman who is the slickest boxer from 122-130 when they shared the same division? No.

    Instead outside of Marquez he's put in with straight up brawlers. He's great at beating them up. Put a bit of movement, speed and lateral movement, he looked a rank amateur, every time he tried it

    Cotto, maybe his best win, was at a catchweight.
    Horn and Thurman were attempts at belt grabs from weak 147 titlists.
    Clottey was stylistically hopeless.
    Margarito was past it.
    Hatton was Floyd's leftovers (and one of Pac's best wins above 130).
    Mosley shot AND Floyd's leftovers.
    Matthysse was shot and a fake champion.
    Broner....
    No Spence, Porter, Brook, Crawford, Andrade, etc.

    Pac did some good work above 130, but it could've been been condensed into 2 or 3 years if he were really sticking to top guys.
