Prior to then, he was on a hell of a run, though. The simple answer is both yes, though. Pac earned his standing by fighting through the Mexican trinity and providing the fans with tons of entertainment. Once he had fought his way to the top, Arum used catch weights and hand picked opponents to keep him there.
it was a hell of a run but the sad thing in the casuals have no idea about the lehlo or julio, barrera bouts...all they have been fed is Pac beating Diaz, a shot Oscar and a recently beatdown Margarito and they think ZOMG Pac is the best ever atsch
i'll give you Floyd and Sergio. but Pac fighting his kryptonite any better than those other fighters? :rofl:rofl he's only fighting JMM because Floyd's on vacation again.
So tell me, if these opponents were handpicked and that bad, can you give anyone else who could've replicated the feat beating them? This is with the exception of Floyd. Do you have anyone in mind who fought Marquez, Barrera and Morales at 130 and beating the rest in the higher weight class? If not, the point of this thread is moot.
i'll give you that floyd is truly scarred , its kind of hard to fathom such a good boxer being such a *****
