    I really dont get people, 2 years ago people questioned him against before the diaz fight and thought moving up to face hatton would result in him being ktfo, oscar cherrypicked pac, cotto and margarito would murder him and now all of these guys are just bums who are cherrypicked. Its like all the people who doubted him are trying to break his reputation apart. I really think these are mayweather fans who are angry their guy is being put in pac's shadow and gets ,less shine when it comes to atg ranking.
    I consider mayweather a great fighter, why is it so hard to enjoy 2 atg fighting im very happy to have witnessed their fights, realize this in a few years they will be gone and all we got left will be nostalgia.

    So I guess Dela Hoya's 6th world title that was given to him when he fought Sturm isn't a real title too, huh?

    So he's just a five weight world champion still?

    You actually just showed the video yourself (albeit edited by Maestro from "The Scene", an admitted actual hater of Pac who's done nothing but make agenda videos). That's the segment where Roach said that Shane asked to fight Pac and Roach replied that it would be ok if Shane went down in weight a little bit between 140 and 147.

    BTW, initially Pac-Cotto was a non-title fight before the WBO stepped in and forced Cotto to defend it by actually ranking Manny.

    Straight BS.

    Roach said they would fight Mosley at 142, and to Pac's team surprise, Mosley responded with him willing to fight at 140!!!!

    The interview is on youtube Uli.

    Roach says word for word

    "I said Shane can you make 142, 143? He said no."

    he also says

    "After the Cotto fight, if Maywaether won't come to the table, Shane would be next I would say."

    So please can the bull**** about PAc ducking Mosley, it's stupid.

    If Pac and Mosley were from the same division at the time, the fight probably would have happened.

    here's another video where Roach talks about Pac vs Mosley.

    "DEFINATELY A FIGHT WE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN"

    :huh you mean the fight @135 for the WBC lightweight title right?


    :huh by "the weight hatton shouldn't have been at" you mean the weight where he was lineal champ and had fought at twice the previous year?

    :huh you mean the WBO WW belt that Cotto got 2 fights prior and defended once against Clottey (who Pac eventually fought)? There was that bull**** WBC Diamond belt, but there was also the WBO WW title itself.

    Wow ok. I mean I agree that the 154 belt was a farce and I'm no big fan of the catchweight against Cotto, but at least get your facts straight.

    cotto won that vacant belt from a little guy who is barely at british title level ffs, and then was lucky to get away with a win against clottey... pac and roache knew he was an easy traget after this.

    Exactly. Re quote me as i will say it again. Manny is the best Welterweight and the best fighter pound 4 pound that ever lived. Boxing was practically in the garbage and nothing besides this man's skills made the entire world notice and for a reason. #1 P4P of all time.

    Void is a damned coward and a cheat. He is a liar! Void is void. Void is very afraid.

    About as Real as Leonard's 154, 168, 175 titles.
    About as real as DLH's 130, 135, 154, 160 titles.
    About as real as Mayweather's 140, 154 titles.

    And he made his two defences of the super middle belt at 160 vs duran (158 ) and Hearns (162). What a disgrace to the sport these guys were.
