Pac is older than those guys were when he beat them and he has had multiple wars with Barrera, Morales, Marquez, and Cotto among others.
Another expert with 'old' and 'shot'. Probably has shriveld **** so ur an expert. At young tender age of 29, both were old, nevermind that prior to that they were within top 5 P4P list before they met Pac. Nevemind that the guy who beat them was basically was just a one-two fighter, one trick pony. It's easier to claim the one who beat them was a future ATG and that they were old. Damn after the fight the excuses were burned camp, metal plate, drained.....oh wait Morales did win the first fight so no excuses there. But now it's old and shot. I will not be surpised a year from now Hatton and Cotto were also "old" and "shot" by wannabe expert like you. Thank goodness credible boxing historians has longer and better view than idiotic posters that seems to sprout like armpit hairs here.
LOL! i claim to be an expert??? if you actually watch the fight with barrera you would KNOW that he wasn't the same fighter he once was. He clearly wasn't the same fighter that DOMINTATED prince Hamed. Morales beat him but after he beat him he looks TERRIBLE against zahir raheem and then gets beat twice by pac. he was clearly done. Age doesn't mean a fighter is done. sometimes wars cause you to age faster than others. plenty of fighters have had this happen to him. maybe he wasn't and maybe manny is that great. Also you can't look past how bad Cotto looked at the end of the clotty fight so that fight should have gave away that he wasn't the same but people got caught up in the hype.
steroids..Seriously Hugton and Cotto are overrated on here. I predicted they'rea KO waiting to happen. I was right. Look-if Pac beats someone like Tyson then he is on steroids that to me is impossible. BUt hugton and Cotto are not that much bigger than Pac..check the tale of the tape. I have studied and watched each mofo for years and see right away their chin is shaky as ****, and are going to get KTFO coz of being hittable. Pac has dropped WW in sparring since his 122-126 days that's wit ****ing headgear on.The kid isn't exactly pauliness with his punching.
Cotto looked pretty much the same at the end of the Clottey fight as he did at the end of the Mosley fight.
He was clearly the same fighter that dominated Hamed. He was just fighting a fighter so unlike Hamed. If you're saying that he was not the Barrera on the first Kelly fight then I'd agree. What's more ****in funny is that after Pac MAB went on to his best win streak. Mab will always have problem with Pac's speed and movement. Though a very good boxer he doesn't have the right hand of Marquez, nor the reach advantage of Morales. He doesn't have any significant physical advantage. Simply a case of style and physical disadvantage.
I tought I would get a response like this :yep. When ever I respond to those "Everyone (who) have* NO PROBLEM calling out Floyd as if he is THE ONLY FIGHTER IN BOXING HISTORY to ever find a fighter for Highest Dollar Value but minimal risk (...)" I'll respond something similar. But your point loses credibility with me when it is associated with (to not say it is) defending Floyd while criticizing another fighter for doing something similar (although not as blatantly) that Floyd has done. Not everyone hates Floyd, and I don't think it comes off well when you try put other fighters down just to put yours up and make him look better.
anyone: hey, did you see that pac/cotto fight? riannu25 (or any other random *******): floyd sucks! A: ummm, what? R: chicken chicken floyd chicken! A: yeah, so anyway, pac really took to cotto. R: like floyd takes it to ellerbe's ass. A: what? R: you *****...how are floyd's balls? A: wtf are you talking about? i'm asking you about pac/cotto. R: floyd that little sissy, he should go give head to the entire IRS A: ...
Willing to bet if i made a one liner like that? Coz u sim so sure i did. Just because you do it doesn't mean everyone does it you know?
And majority of my post are with qoutes from the poster i am addressing. I stay on topic, not like some mindless zoombies and gossip girls in here.
