    Your facts are way off. None of those fighters you mention were killing themself to make weights. Is Taylor and Trinidad close to their primes like Pacquiao when both move up to fight seperate fighters and lost? Are you that stupid? Or just a s4ck up to Pacquiao?

    He's a ******ed fool trying to make everyone agree with him that pacquiao is the greatest boxer of all times. Pac hasnt fought a real fighter in his prime at ww that isnt coming from a lost in which are facts.

    I guess this fool forgot that Pacquiao wanted to fight Cotto again in the rematch but demanded Cotto to move down at 148 pounds? :lol: That wouldnt be drain?

    Statistics mean nothing when applied to the individual.

    Caneman is pretty dumb, so I may have to make a flip book which expresses that point, and leave it black and white so he can colour it in.

    This. Pacquiao got ktfo two times when he failed to make an agreed upon weight. But Floyd gets **** for not making an agreed upon weight when he schooled jmm.

    Pacquiao tried to make weight by sweating it out. was even penalized by wearing a bigger gloves than his opponent. floyd meanwhile just blatantly miss the weight like it doesn't matter.

    Guy's here got no clue. A good big guy is always gonna have the upper hand over a good little man. catchweight fights will always favor the bigger man unless the skill is so much apart.

    Exactly my point. Every situation is unique. You can't generalize.

    On ESB, there are 2 situations:

    Catchweight involving Pac = draining

    Catchweight not involving Pac = not draining

    pacquiao wanted it at 147 which is not a catchweight. cotto wants it at 150 which is a catchweight. cotto demanded 150 for the margarito fight. it doesn't matter since cotto is not a big fighter. he is still basically a WW who was forced to move up after the ass whooping he got from pac.


    also people are blaming pacquiao for draining oscar at 147 but forgot that pac has to go up two weight divisions after just 1 fight at 135. if that version of oscar knocked pacquiao, then you fools would be saying that oscar cherrypicked a 130 fighter. before the fight, oscar was being bashed heavily for picking a small fighter. pac was not even the reason why oscar went back to 147. we all know that they are planning an oscar-floyd 2 to be held at 147 since floyd doesn't want the 2nd fight at 154 anymore. floyd just rejected a 2nd fight because he would not agree to a lesser than 50/50 split. pac was just picked by oscar as a replacement.
