    even the curse of Teddy Atlas doesn't effect him.

    Well that's because me and Rumsfeld cursed DLH.

    I cursed DLH, but then Atlast cursed Pac, but then Rumsfeld reversed it.

    See.

    Best cherrypicker of old fighters in boxing history. Puts ODLH to shame.

    MAB 29 peak of his career coming off wins from Morales & Hamed. JMM avoided unified champ. Morales 29 and beat him just a year before. Diaz 25 champ at weight above. DLH just gone SD with PBF & UD over Forbes and oh Oscar too big, oh Oscar by murder etc etc.

    Excuses son.

    Besides MAB and JMM, Pac has taken the easy route. And he almost didn't want to fight JMM on the rematch.

    He is a special fighter and now he has to do something special at 135 or 140. I can't wait to see him fight Hatton. I think it will be a barnburner.

    if pac has taken the easy route for you, what can you say about the other boxers who have taken less hard route which is about 99% of alll the boxers today? and it was jmm who didn't want to fight pac again and he realized that he is piling up some age that he needed to fight pac again to get the $$$ before he retires.

    Pacquiao will fight anyone his promoter puts in front of him! Far from CherryPicking!

    That's probably true.

    We fail to realize that a lot of the fight dont come about because of the promoters.

    OK lets start from the beggining.

    Sasakul lineal champ - Easy route? NO.

    Ledwaba rated by most experts top 15 p4p - Easy route? NO.

    MAB Ring FW champ with pac jumping up in weight and fighting MAB in his own backyard - Easy route? NO.

    dammm...this is not going too well for your argument.

    JMM who was avoided for the best part by the best fighters in the world,
    MAB, Morales & Hamed - Easy route? NO.

    Morales who was only 29 and no indication of him being shot whatsoever - Easy route? NO.

    Larios as a tune up - Easy route? NO.

    Morales 2 where rematch has already been signed and most people claiming the result will just be like the 1st, Morales in between this time looses at LW to Raheem - Easy route? NO.

    JMM 2 who is considered top 5 p4p and the best fighter available for Pac to fight - Easy route? NO.

    ODLH who is 35yr old but has just gone SD with PBF, 3 weight classes above, beat Forbes more clearly than Berto, 18/20 experts from Ring picking Oscar to win, YOU picking Oscar to win. Was Pac suppose to know that ODLH is suddenly gonna be 10* worse the fighter that fought Forbes & PBF? Or did Pac just make him look like that. - Easy route? NO!


    God...people just need to learn a little.

    OK, apart from possibly Pac vs Campbell/Guzman fight, which fights are these you are talking about? Pac opted to fight ODLH instead of Campbell and 90% of experts would have claimed Oscar to be the HARDER opponent, including you, so how was he at the time take the "easy route"?

    Now the guy wants to fight PBF!!!! Or Ricky Hatton. How can this guy be possibly accused of cherrypicking or going for the easy route? Chasing big money fights maybe, but definitely he has always sought the biggest names out there which includes the biggest money and presents the biggest challenge.

    Calderon could fight prime Mike Tyson for money...it may be going for the big money but it sure as hell isnt a bloody "easy route" of a fight.

    DLH fans calling Pacquiao a "cherrypicker". I wonder what Oscar is then.

    Easy route?:lol: I admit...there are some over enthusiastic fans of PAC but there are just as many haters or cornballs roaming around ESB with some real whack ass perceptions. I mean.......to say PAC took the easy route or "Cherry Picking" his opponents is further from the truth than saying a ***** wouldn't suck a dick for $100.

    PAC was the one eagerly seeking an immediate rematch after JMM was lucky enough to walk away with a gift draw. One would think that JMM would want to clear the air around a fight that allowed him to keep his belts due to a technicality. Warped views by some of you guys.
