    Pac fought Hatton for 52%?

    What percent did he fight DLH for?

    Poor Hatton, he was cut to half before the fight, we didn't know it. Luckily, I did not mortgage my house to bet on him.

    Excuses!

    Pacquiao is really 2-0 against JMM. Had it not been for a scoring error in the first fight he would have won. It's actually ridiculous a judge wouldn't score a 3rd knockdown. Then Pacquiao wins a close decision in the 2nd fight and in the eyes of delousional Marquez fans for some reason they act like they never seen a close decision go the other way before. Pac's choice of moving on was the right thing to do.

    As a fighter it's hard to stay motivated fighting the same guy over and over again. He went on to win titles in 2 more weight classes after that and he knew he'd make a ton more money and doesn't really need Marquez. That's not cherry picking at all, it's simply smart business and moving on with his career.

    If mayweather beats JMM...Mayweather vs Pac will happen. The $ will be a problem, but they will come to an understanding. If JMM beats Mayweather...There will be Pac vs JMM 3.
    There's to much $ to be made off these fights not to. I don't care if anyone says Floyd is scared/ cherrypicker, or Pac is a cherrypicker...Whatever. These fights WILL BE MADE!
    Anybody who doesn't believe they will are damn fools, and lack logic.
    Shut up people. Manny is p4p #1, the big draw, and they try to get him the advantage (money wise, fighters coming down to face him, etc). Who can blame them? Not only is it wise, but it's almost necessary. Pac would weigh in at 145, and fight at 149 TOPS. Mosley or Cotto would weigh in at 147, and weigh 160 on fight night. Though, I think Pac still beats them both NO MATTER WHAT THEY WEIGH..He holds all the cards, and they should have to fight his fight! Not the other way around...
    Same goes for Mayweather making JMM move up. Is it a little dirty? yep. Is it wise? Yep. Who the hell wants to fight somebody knowing your oppoent has the advantage?..Especially whenever you can help it.

    Yep, it's got to be said. Marquez will go down in history as Pac's master

    The footage is there. No matter what the books say, people can see for themselves that Marquez truly was Pac's master




    JMM - P4P no1
    JMM - Pac's master

    Pac can't win with these haters. He fights the guy twice and they still say he's ducking him.

    People forget that when Pac fought JMM the first time he was arguably the most ducked fighter in the sport. Pac was coming off one of the best victories of a generation and he still stepped in the ring with JMM despite saying that after MAB he would go back down to 122.

    yea he ducked him real bad.

    Just thinking that it's pretty normal for a boxer whose stocks are rising to expect and increase in percentages in his subsequent fights.

    No doubt he got the smaller % vs DLH, and wanting more to fight PBF than he got vs Hatton is perfectly natural - he is at the top of his game and seen as the #1 boxer on the planet right now.

    i guess the TS now admits that his hero is indeed a cherry-picker and he's now looking for some cherry-picking company for his hero.

    won't work in pac's case though since he already actually fought jmm twice and has a 1-0-1 record against him.
