    He was far from shot, but certainly past his best....If Oscar trained right and got into shape for 154... He could still bang with most of the top 10 at 154....

    The $2mil trainer fee Joy Sr demanded was just an excuse he used to get out of training Oscar to go up against his own son, Oscar explains it all in the book. Oscar's American Son book for the win!

    Can you give me examples. I know Roach did this with Yuri Foreman because he was too tall(same height as Margo and Oscar) and I remember him not wanting to fight Guzman and Mosley

    Margarito was Pac's 10 proffesional weight division.

    Let's see PBF take out a LHW :)

    If Floyd started his career when he was 16(106lbs) then maybe he would too

    If Pac was a HW he would be a HW....

    You only need to look at past threads, you can search them if you want, to realise what pac is doing is amazing. Its amazing because it was perceived to be impossible. He is doing the impossible.

    Much like its impossible for PBF to beat Chad Dawson...but hey, why dont he try doing the impposible.

    De La Hoya ducked Margarito to fight Pacquiao after promising he would fight the winner of Cotto-Margarito. :deal

    What pac is doing is amazing. But should he not be under the same criticism as his peers. Would u deny that he has picked his opponents very carefully? No right hand, slower than him brawlers that cant catch him, no timing or real defense, slick, counter punchers.

    Maybe because it happened over 3 years ago. Pacman just fought a bigger man last weekend, he's rightfully got the limelight.
