    Correct, everybody was crying out to Floyd to fight Mosley. EVERYBODY said he was ducking him and people gave Mosley a good shot at beating him. I see plenty of polls on the internet that were almost 50/50

    damn! i have never seen that before. this is the difference between Floyd fans and pac fans. Floyd fans for the most part keep it real, while pac fans for the most part ignore and omit fact.

    Not exactly. No one wanted to see a slow plodding cheat like Margarito who was resoundingly stopped in brutal beating by a 38 yr old Mosley. The same Mosely that looked very slow and shot against Floyd. Margarito in his last fight looked terrible against a journeyman boxer. How credible is Margarito...we dont know he could have been a life long cheat for all we know.

    Pacmans is exceptional but his victory is being made to looked better than it is.

    Not many wanted Clottey either.

    why the hate, it's like this?

    it has been for centuries brad, great people have been mocked and crucified of being a threat or something, presidents and high profiles had been shot, just look at jesus, crucified to death..

    of course i don't compare pac to them, only idiots do that but you cannot please everybody and there is always someone or something obsessed to pull you down, it's human nature bro..

    Two years ago Margarito was the man at welterweight. Cotto was second. Clottey was in the Top 5. Two years ago Pac was a junior featherweight.

    Pac would've beat Margarito, Cotto and Clottey at 147, 150, 154 at any point during their careers.

    So what if they were tailor-made for Pac? Yeah, they were tailor-made for him and he beat the **** out of them. If I said two years ago Manny would've gone up to 147 and he would clear out the division, would you have believed me?

    Two years ago if he did it, he would've been praised like a God but now he doesn't get full credit because suddenly he's supposed to beat these fighters. Why doesn't he get the credit? He did what he was supposed to do? The only fighter left is Mayweather and it seems like he'll only get credit because stylistically he doesn't match-up and he'd be the underdog.

    Because his team purposely choose those fights when theose fighters were showing weakness. if they fight Mosley next, then it will prove this even more

    What version of Clottey beats Pacquiao? If he opened up, he would've just got hit more.

    Cotto always had low punch resistance and Margarito was always slow with no defense.

    Pac beats any version of those guys.

    These guys were the cream of the crop at 147 outside of Mayweather and Mosley. Now who else is he supposed to fight? Berto? Collazo?

    ****, he got the lineal belt at 140 and now people are like "Well, let's see him beat Bradley."

    I think he would have won, but it's still the timing. I think Floyd would have beaten Oscar in his prime but people criticize him for not fighting him then even though he called him out twice
