I already know I am going to get plenty of hate for pointing out facts not opion but oh well here it goes anyway. I am only doing this because titles these days are worthless. Some more then others. At 135 paper title against David Diaz. The fight was unified title holder Nate that should of been made but Pac's team dont let Pac fight those fight styles. Some would say Pac ducked Nate I would agree with them. Also no title defenses at this weight. At 145 Pac beat the **** out of Miguel Cotto which was a good win for Pac but its not like Pac knocked off the hottest or best guy in the 147 division, that would of been Mosely who begged Pac for a fight. Mosely offered it as low as 140 but Pac wanted no part. Cotto after losing to Margocheato picked up his paper title by beating Michael Jennings. Now Pac is trying to win his 8th title by beating Margo who in his last meaningful fight was knocked out after attempting to load his gloves against the same Mosely that some would say Pac ducked and I agree with them. The title would be for the 154 title but faught at 150.:yep Margo has done nothing at this weight on a championship level and has a loss to Santos who is C fighter at best. Some would say Pac is ducking Williams or Martinez at 154 since they are the best and champions at the division and I agree but hey Pac doesn't fight those styles. Winning a meaningless title in a division by no means makes you the best in that division this is boxing to be the best you have to beat the best and looking at facts nobody can say Pac is doing that. Clottey along with the fights I have used as example and De la Hoya at 145 is not that incredible. The last time Pac faced the best in a division was 130 when it can be argued Pac got beat by Marquez. Don't bring up Hatton because we can all agree the Lazcano fight showed Hatton was past it. Just the facts but let the hating begin.
Manny Pacquiao has the best resume among all of the active fighters currently inhabiting the planet. Perhaps only Holyfield can argue.
Pac is about to fight for 154 pound title but has not faught the best in any division since 130 is just incredible to me. He just gets a free pass and people just say he would beat the best guy in the division if he faught them. It's crazy I tell you just crazy man.
Thats your opion but what does that have to do with Pac fighting for paper titles and not fighting the best?
At 135 he would have destroyed Nate Campbell. Hatton was the consensus number 1 at 140. However you are right, Mayweather beat the man at 147, not Pacquiao. And MArgarito is a joke fight.
Nobody else is fighting for meaningless titles at different weights with catchweights attached. Some people clear out a division or two. Not one title defense since 126 has to be disturbing to you as well thats just crazy when you think about it. On top of fighting the 3rd or 5th or 6th guy like Clottey or Margocheato who is not even a guy at that weight of 154 lol. That is not incredible lol it is just notl.
:rofl I guess hatton wasn't rank #1 at Jr welterweight and was the jr welterweight champion of the world when pac knock him out. Cotto still beat mosley let me repeat that cotto still beat mosley:hi: David Diaz was just a test to see how pac does at 135. Hate all you want but the fact is pacman has been fighting bigger boxer than him since leaving the super featherweight. He ain't calling out lightweight to come up and fight him:hi:
I don't like he would of beat the **** out of Campbell as a arguement. Simply put Pac did not fight the unfied consensus number 1 in Campbell he ***ht Diaz with the come forward style Manny is used to. Pac took the easy way out simply put.
Miguel Cotto and Joshua Clottey have been considered among the best and most dangerous Welterweights for the last three or four years. A former Super Featherweight, who nobody ever expected would be capable at 147lbs, defeated both of them conclusively. Mayweather has gone on a vacation because he's been inordinately active recently. Let's see what happens when the smoke clears.
Martinez and Williams haven't been all that marketable, and Pavlik literally ran out of options after having fought Rubio and Espino.
And please consider Floyd's "best" win at Welter: Sugar Shot Mosley whose performance against a walking, talking punching bag is the only reason people rated him at all. He was a big underdog going into that Margo fight for good reason; he was and is WAY past it.
LoL why are you taking shots at PBF nobody has even mentioned him in this thread. Smells like a ******* to me lol leave PBF out of just one of your boxing conversations please. I agree Pac has been fighting bigger guys just not the best like I said sir. LOL to easy
Only reason clottey and margocheato fight is happening is cuz your boy wanted no part of the pacman.:hi:
