    That makes no sense.

    Raheem had just outclassed Morales.

    Pacquiao shouldn't get nearly as much credit as he does for the Morales wins...

    Morales was a top10 p4p fighter, even after he lost to Raheem. Just go back and check the ratings for yourself.

    Those wins are underrated these days. Revisionist history strikes hard.

    PBF used to be the most famous "*******" in boxing:

    I made it quite clear why I feel Morales was a better win than Raheem, win or lose... Where's Raheem today ? Enough said..

    Morales had avery bad night and Raheem's style gave him fits just like Ken Norton would give Ali fits (styles crashing together). After Ali lost to Norton in 73, would it be more meaningful to beat Ali or Norton ? The best talent would always remain Ali, therefore the better win.

    Nobody disputes Morales being 10 ten P4P when he fought Manny the second time.

    However, facts are FACTS. Morales had just LOST to Raheem and it wasn't close.

    No revisonist history necessary...

    With that kind of mentality, if Shane Mosley finds a way to beat Mayweather, it takes so much credibility away from Floyd... Pacquiao would be crazy to allow Mayweather a pay day after that.... I don't see things that way... There are many gray zones in life, not just black or white..

    What the **** are you talking about?

    Raheem has just outclassed Morales. Period, end of story. Where they are today is irrelevant. What Norton and Ali did is irrelevant.

    All that matters is who beat whom.

    At THAT time, Raheem would have been a tougher challenge based on the FACT that he had just outboxed Morales.

    What is so difficult to understand about this simple concept?

    If Mosley beats Mayweather and Pacquiao goes on to fight Floyd anyway, then Manny will have ducked the stiffer challenge just like when he fought the Morales rematch instead of Raheem.

    :deal

    Are you serious? Castillo was an elite fighter with a good resume.

    I'll give you that the first fight was close (I still had it for Floyd by 1 round), but the second? :huh
