    Pac****s will avoid my post like the plague. They know Pac's 147 pound resume is complete garbage, so they try to keep the focus on Mayweather.

    Pacquiao has fought 10 fights at 147 - 5 of those fights were with guys who had never won a bout at 147. 6 were unranked.

    Floyd avoided guys like cotto, margarito, williams at WW. Floyd was at the weight much earlier than pac but wasted it by avoiding a hot WW division by retiring and having long vacations.

    You're ducking and not responding.

    Half of Manny's opponents at 147 had never won a bout at 147. 6 were unranked.

    That means 60% of Manny's opponents at 147 weren't ranked. Think about it. And you have the nerve to challenge Floyd's resume? :lol::lol::lol:

    Meanwhile, at the time when the WW division was waxing hot, floyd fought hatton at 147. Retired and took long vacations. Fought a 135 marquez at 144 catchweight and cheated him on the scales.

    And don't bring up guys like ortiz, maidana and guerrero. These guys were fighting at 126/ 130/135 when floyd first fought at WW.

    They all had wins at 147 at the time Floyd beat them. Every single guy.

    5 of Manny's opponents DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE WIN at 147.

    Why can't we bring up Ortiz (title holder), Maidana (title holder), and Guerrero (title holder)? AT LEAST THEY WERE RANKED AND WON A DARN FIGHT!!!!!


    Why the double standard man? If you're this harsh on Floyd's 147 pound resume, how about you keep it real and admit Pacquiao's is FAR WORSE.

    I never knew that a win over two very overyhyped haymon byproduct like broner and berto would get you a mayweather fight.

    All the guys you listed at least were ranked and had wins at welterweight. You can ***** and moan all you want, but those guys **** all over the guys Pac has been choosing to fight at 147.

    You're bashing Floyd for fighting ranked opposition and title holders at 147, and defending Manny for fighting unranked opposition at 147.


    You're so biased you're blind.

    One beat broner who is irrelevant at WW. Two beat berto who is an overhyped haymon product. Berto was not even that relevant when WW was hot back then. He was ranked below guys like cotto, mosley, margo, williams, clottey and even quintana.

    If you're going to criticize Mayweather, you should be even MORE CRITICAL about Pacquiao's 147 pound resume. You shouldn't be defending it. Defending Pac's 147 pound resume and attacking Mayweather's reeks of bias.

    I'm only critical at fights that mayweather could have fought. He was at the weight since 2005 and his reign coincided when the WW was waxing hot and only has an old mosley to show. He did not touch guys like cotto, williams, margo or clottey at the weight which is much better than guys like ortiz or guerrero.

    There was never an opportunity to fight Williams. Just another example of guys being full of **** and just throwing a name onto the pile. The guy lost his title by getting out-boxed by Carlos Quintana. Needed a rematch to get his 147 title back, and never fought at 147 again afterward. STOP MAKING **** UP!!!

    Cotto was fought at 154. So do you have a point there? He fought Cotto, and took his title, and did it at a higher weight class. The same Cotto that took Sergio's soul at 160 pounds. Conversation over on Cotto.

    Margo was a cheating *******, a disgrace, and shouldn't even be brought up after SSM destroyed his ass at 37 years of age as any legitimate threat. Margarito's entire career is suspect.

    Clottey never did jack at 147. Career gate keeper.



    Again: You attack Mayweather for fighting RANKED OPPOSITION at 147 because it's not the guys YOU THINK he should have fought. However, you defend Pacquiao fighting UNRANKED OPPOSITION because .... ?????? (You love Manny, and don't like Floyd - Only logical reason)

    You're just making excuses for floyd when he took long vacations instead of fighting these guys at the weight.

    Floyd could have fought cotto after cotto beat mosley and floyd beat hatton but chose to retire and instead fielded some weak excuse that cotto is not a draw.

    Williams could be a good opponent after he beat margarito. Clottey is a solid WW which gave everyone a tough fight. Margarito was ducked ever since the baldomir saga.

    How could Williams be an opponent after he beat Margarito WHEN HE LOST HIS VERY NEXT FIGHT TO CARLOS QUINTANA?!??!?! :patsch


    Floyd "could have fought Cotto?" FLOYD DID FIGHT COTTO!!! What planet are you on? Do I need to link you the YouTube video of their fight? It happened.

    While not retired, he's fought a lot of top ranked (no pun intended) opposition. So yes. There will ALWAYS be fighters on the come up. Even now, the division is pretty stacked. And isn't he fighting the supposed other best WW on May 2?
