Is it cherry picking when you are the smaller man?

    If Pacman didn't want to try outstanding things, then he would have stayed at 135, his true natural fighting weight in 2009 !! Anything over against legit competition means he isn't cherry picking at all !!

    I feel that RJJ cherrypicked Ruiz.

    Even though I picked Delahoya, I gave him at best a 60-40 chance.

    Regardless of the hindsight analysis, this was a great great victory for Pac.

    His victory over Hatton, while less, was still a magnificent victory, on account of the manner in which he achieved it.

    That was the best Pac we've seen so far.



    However, I can't see ANY WAY he can be competitive against the Floyd who fought Oscar and Ricky.

    Unless Floyd's been seriously degraded by his lay-off, I can't see pac having much chance there.

    I'm a fan of Pac, more so with each fight he wins, and I'm not a fan of Floyd.


    Prime Oscar would have stopped Pac in two, maybe three.

    The Mosley who faced Marg would do the same thing.

    If the fight gets made and Floyd hasn't lost anything with the lay-off, he can stop Pac in under 6.

    Given that he fights hype-cautiously, he'll probably score a late stoppage or a wide UD.


    I'll know more when I see Floyd-JMM.

    in two maybe three...????

    Floyd has had several close fights with far lesser opponents thna Pac. I think you are not making much sense.
