For these morons, when a great fighter loses, he must be past prime. There is no way a gret fighter can lose during his prime.
you pac haters are impossible to please. really, how would it physically possible for pac to fight all these great fighters from b level to hof fighters wherein the condition is both should be prime for prime. under the laws of contracts, that is what you call an impossible condition which would invalidate the contract itself. He fougt mab, em and jmm 7 times. throw in hatton, dlh, larios, ledwaba, sasakul, diaz, hussein, pbf, solis, mira, lucero. and add for good measure valero, guzman. these are twenty fights. Now, you morons, how would it be physically possible for pac to fight these guys and the condition should be prime for prime since, you dimwits are asking that it should complied. nallege and p4pdabest should show mathematical computation ok. no hogwash arguments here and reduce it to exact science like mathematics. as i have said, the last time i checked, the laws of physics and passage of time have not circumvented. calling you out dumb and dumber.
If Pacquiao had met Oscar when they were both fighting at 135, Oscar would've gotten KTFO. Thats the truth. Oscar is tailor made for Pacquiao. Oscar has trouble finding smaller guys. Doesn't like southpaws. Doesn't like fighters with quick feet. Can't cut off the ring. Oscar's great weapon is the left hand, and against Pac that doesn't cut it. You need a great right hand against Pac. Barrera was prime. He was caught by surprise by a great fighter, he wasn't 100% ready, and he got his ass kicked. If he was 100% he probably still would have lost the fight. And Pac was basically a 122lb fighter at that point. If Barrera was not prime when Pac beat him, then somone like Corrales was shot to **** when Floyd beat him, and someone like Duran was a corpse when Hearns beat him. Morales was still an incredible fighter when Pac beat him but no longer at his peak. Morales was bigger than Pacquiao the first time they met, Pac having not grown into the 130lb division yet. Thats a pretty big disadvantge (size is important in boxing). Add to that the cut bleeding into his eye from the 5th round, and its normal that Morales got the edge. At the end of the day it was a very clear win for Morales, but he only won by 2 points. Not a big stain on Pac's resume imo. In the rematch 10 months later, Pac was much more accustomed to the division. He ended up being the first person to knock Morales out. Morales was not shot yet, but I'd say he was about where Mosley was for the Cotto fight. Pac knocked out Morales again in the 3rd fight to win the trilogy. Morales barely even tried in that one. People only say Morales was completely shot to **** in hindsight. Pacquiao actually won fighter of the year that year
i have to elevate you the level of deity philla. well said, and very level headed indeed. i just can't understand why some people can't see beyond the hate.
Good post but sorry to say this. This is not enough to get into their thick skull. To them, as long as a fighter doesnt dominate or look good, then they pretty much passed their prime. Its only logical for a fighter to look half as good or bad if they fought someone who is better or dominant than they are. Let me elaborate a little bit more, A FIGHTER CAN EITHER LOOK GOOD OR BAD DEPENDING WHO THEY ARE FIGHTING. PRIME OR NOT PRIME. Think of it as your favorite sport, if you have any. Do you think you would look better if someone else is playing it better the same time as you?? The answer is ****ing no.
i think some of those ******s here want pac to time travel in order to see how he would fare against those 3 in their primes... too bad it can't happen pac is a great fighter cause he beat those three, prime or not..period..
it's not like Pac was the fighter he is today back when he fought those MAB and Morales, so it doesn't really matter much did he beat a prime Morales? no?, but was he at the peak of his skills himself? no i'd say the 08' Pac beats Prime Morales
1. Morales and Barrera were the best of their division. Prime or not. 2. PAcquiao was not in HIS prime when he fought them. To me, he is in his prime now.
That's a major fact that these knuckle heads fail to admit. Pac was still a bit raw at the time and is only coming into his own now. Some people peak late, luckily for us we're only seeing the best of him now. That hurts his haters bad in this board. Hence the influx in hate thread :|
When Morales had something left he beat Pacquiao. He left it all in the ring that night and won. After that he was completely done. The third fight between the two of them should have never even taken place.
This prime for prime thing is like a Pokemon card(as how my lil 7 yrs old brother taught me before,even I didn't knew there is some kind of stuffs like these)... Oh I beat ur non-prime Morales using my non-prime Pacquiao! If only I have prime Morales on my card I could beat your non-prime Pacquiao!!!! My prime DLH will beat your prime Pacquiao!!!! My prime Barrera could have beat your non-prime Pacquiao!!!
