    Arum had a blue chip fighter. He had the best pound for pound fighter in the world. The most exciting fighter in the world. And a fighter moving up in weight like we've never seen before.

    It seems like he just recognized his fighters talent and fun style. And then just put him with the best possible opponent and let him do the work. Which is really the way it's supposed to be I guess.

    Arum has always had the most blue chippers. What I hate about him though is he will never let his A listers fight on enemy network. Especially against a live opponent who might beat his guy.

    Like for example, he wont let Loma touch Garcia with a 10 foot pole. Unless he comes on to Bob Arum TV.

    I understand what you're saying. But Pacquiao has never been the type of guy to duck a challenge. He was in wars when he was with Muhammad too.
