Is Pac viewed at a higher standard than anyone else in boxing?

Why wouldn't you want to rate that win. atsch

It is the biggest win of his career, he moved up to 154 to take on the champ Dela Hoya.

The fact that this fight was the biggest fight in boxing history just shows you how important the fight was not only to hardcore fight fans but casual fans as well.

 

Hatton wasn't coming off a loss, he had 2 wins. Including kicking the **** out of Paulie, beating him worse than he's ever been beaten

 

spot on.

 

The answer is in the post that YOU quoted me on. atsch

 

doesn't matter. it's only one ****ing pound, at this weight it doesn't matter. important thing is both these guys came in healthy and not drained. that fight liberated cotto and turned him into a beast.

 

True.

 

cotto somewhat admitted to "sacrificing" his body. and it was obvious as he was getting hurt a lot of times in that fight and gassed out early. healthy cotto would've stopped pac. also, you can make a case for hatton who bloats up to what? hatton stepped up to welter and shoulda stayed there. margarito was defeated at 150, not 154. morales was drained at 130.

 

The biggest difference is Manny has taken on guys after they were KO'd Hatton,Cotto,Margarito,or shortly after losses and guys that are not ranked that high..

 

Sergio Martinez...p4p number 3 in the world. Coming off a dominant win in an event of the year

Margarito...had not won a meaningful fight in two years when he fought Pac

See the difference? *******. Bore off. If you give Pacquiao credit for the Margarito fight you are seriously delusional. He was fighting a walking punch bag, a dead man walking. So what if he had an advantage? It was an EASY fight for Pacquiao and everyone knows it

 

Morales was drained in the rematches, he almost fainted at the weigh in. Oscar was drained. Hatton looked quite guant. Alex Ariza and Buboy claimed they could tell Margarito was drained when he was trying to make weight for the fight. Cotto ? Maybe, I don't know but Pacquaiao did try to drain him by asking for the Catchweight.

 

Even if you give him credit,other guys have had higher standards,like Ward cleaning out his division,the top guys "when they were winning prior".

 

153 is a big difference to 150. Pacquiaos win over Margarito means **** all, was an EASY handpicked fight.

 

:deal

spot on fish eyes. same as my observations.

 

Right, but Marg was well capable of making 150, he'd fought at 147 recently. We have no reason to think Martinez will be able to make 150, none.
