    Didn't Pacquiao beat Morales after Barrera and Morales had a brutal war, and after Pac himself and the aging Morales had another brutal war?

    Didn't Pac beat Hatton after he was KTFO by Mayweather?

    Didn't Pac beat Margarito after he was KTFO by Mosley?

    Didn't Pac beat old ass Mosley after Mayweather took his heart?

    Didn't Pac beat Cotto after he was KTFO by Margarito and after his controversial win to Clottey?

    And you can even throw in Morales having to come back down to 130 from 135. :deal

    When a fight is declined by an active fighter who proceeds to go and fight someone else in the said time frame, it means the risk wasn't worth the reward.

    In Cotto's case, 7 million wasn't worth the risk, which was harming his body and lowering his chances by fighting at a catchweight, as well as possible defeat against an opponent whom once already beat him.

    In Pacquiao's case, 40 million wasn't worth the risk, which was testing positive for PED's as well as possible defeat against an opponent whom would be highly favored.

    For ****'s sake....are you trying to sound like an idiot Isal? I cannot get over the fact that supposely intelligent FANS of the sport, make these types of posts. They seem to be done more by obvious noobs. You honestly think Mayweather took Shane's heart dude? For reals? Or are you just trolling Pac as usual? Then again, since you were just a DLH fanboy, I wouldn't be shocked completely if you missed Vern Forrest taking Shane's confidence a DECADE ago. You hate Pac, we get it. It's made you more or less a joke on the topic, since you cannot even attempt to be realistic. Say what ytou want about me, at least I don't type this type of **** about fighters.

    It doesn't change the fact that DLH was drained. :deal

    The point is that Pacquiao has a history of draining fighters.

    DLH did that to himself. But I know you will fault Pac for simply agreeing to the fight that YOU picked DLH to win.

    Yup, and when Mosley called his bluff, Pac's camp went the other direction.

    It wasn't until Mayweather completely embarrassed Mosley that Pac decided to fight Mosley.

    He used it to try and duck the fight with Shane. Then Shane called their bluff and they ducked him anyways :lol:

    How do you call one's bluff when there was no intention of bringing down Mosley to 142? Jesus....do you just resort to making **** up now? You're agreeing with someone who said Pac tried to weight drain mosley at 142, yet they didn't even entertain that. Pac fought Mosley because it was stricly a money fight with few options around at the time. You KNOW that those do happen at times right? The fight meant little to those who know, but to fans like you, it apparently meant a great deal huh?
