    Morales & MAB was 29.

    Hard for me to say anything wrong with his fight decisions. IMO he fought all the right people, its just hindsight or people twisting things to make it look like he took the easy path but if you look at each individual circumstances, the fights that he took was the fights that the fans wanted and would do most for his legacy and bank account.

    The biggest one I suppose is his close fights with JMM and his first loss to Morales. Those cant be faulted though, he tried his best and those guys were great.

    I find more faults in the fans that sit there and try to critisize this guy so much.

    I had to listen to people on so many occasions talk about how he fought a 'shot' Barrera. Get real though, he dominated the guy and nobody AT THE TIME was saying Barrera was shot. Give the man his dues. If Barrera was shot, then Pac exposed him as a shot fighter.

    Lost his first fight with Morales then came back to own him. He more then made up for the loss. Not only that, but hes a better fighter now then the version of him that did away with morales.

    JMM. I had JMM winning the second fight, but I cant argue with a decision going to either man. If you want to find a fault here, then at least put some of it on JMM. His problem is that he didnt beat Pac decicively enough to steal the opinions of the judges.

    As far as people saying hes greedy over the whole Hatton thing. First off we got the fight. Thats all that really matters. Secondly, I dont know how YOU conduct buisness. . . but if im selling a service, you can bet your sweet ass that ill bargain for the highest dollar i can get.


    The ones that say he "ducks" people. . . well, I just dont see it. That guy has tons of great fighters on his resume. It dont look to me like he ever took the easy way out.

    Jesus, I would have loved to see the conversations in this forum when Pac's promoter (MM) first announced that he was going after Barrera, Morales and Marquez.

    Were people still criticizing Pac for wanting to go after 'shot' fighters? :roll:

    I dont think you can critisize Manny Pacquiao, he has consistantly sought out the biggest challenges out there and took them all head on. The way the man fights is also another factor, you wont get much hate from the fans towards Manny becuase he always seems to be stepping up a notch each time out, and he doesnt fight like a *****, the man comes to get the knock out every time out.

    Whats there to hate or critisize about that?

    I can't criticise Pac for that as the divisions he had fought so far were dominated by mexican fighters.

    It should had been a SD win for Pac if not for a scoring error which was admitted by the erring judge himself! Yeah, that **** didn't look good!:patsch

    If he did that, he wouldn't had so many fights to attain the stardom he's enjoying now.

    I agree with you, MAB was on a streak before the first fight and he won 5 or six straight fights after that even winning a belt at 130. What a shot or past prime boxer he was!

    As to the 2nd JMM fight, it was 6-6 even by rounds but Pac clinched it with a KD in the 3rd rd. It would had been 7-5 in JMM favor if not for the deciding KD because JMM was leading the said round before the KD.

    The only thing that I can say is that I honestly felt JMM beat him both times. That isn't a knock on Pac, he's great... it just a testament to how great JMM also is.

    I was disspaointed that he did not unify the 130 division which I believed he was capable of doing. I can't blame or criticize him for that as he chose much bigger challenges that netted him more financially.

    Not avenging his earlier losses. I'm sure Singsurat and Torrecampo can and would come out of obscurity for an easy paycheck loss at 140.

    there was no rematch on singsurat coz pac had hard time making 112, that's why he moved up 2 divisions after that loss. i dont know the reason on torrecampo.
