    Good Article. :good

    VS Mosley

    Best thing most boxing fans can do is, not watch the fight at all, or go to someone elses house whos watching the fight, IMO best way to prevent mismatches or overhype jobs made by Bob Arum is attacking their pockets.

    But if your only a Pacquiao fan, you probably ordered it already.

    Fan of both fighters, I believe Defense in every sport is better than any offense. Did you know how marquez would do in higher weight classes? Did you know if Mayweather still had skills from being away from the sport that long?

    I know for sure Mosley cant pull the trigger anymore. But sometimes I wonder....fight and try to beat Floyd, fight decent vs Mora, leave GBP, and maybe we can lure Bob Arum for a Pacquiao fight. If Mosley suddenly looks good and gives Manny trouble, then Oscar-Mosley-GBP are Masterminds. But hey just a theory..

    Article started out promising enough, but I had to stop reading when the writer stated fans actually wanted the DLH-Pac fight and insinuated Pac was the one doing the cherry picking. That is the complete opposite from the reality of what happened.

    nevermind pacs lightweight to welterweight run at the moment.

    pacs fights before that alone make him legendary.

    the mexicutioner was already established before lightweight and above.

    sure you are... thats why you have one of the fighters you're supposedly a fan of in an embarrassing position knocked down against your other favorite.

    Fan of both fighters, one is just better than the other. what's wrong with that?
     
  11. I think he is wrong here, people didnt want pac vs hoya they wanted marg/cotto vs oscar. Oscar cherrypicked pacquiao and it backfired thats all there is to it. He made the guy come up 2 divisions while he was still green at 135. Obviously 154 wasnt possible and 147 is the good chocie then. it wasnt a catchweight it was 147, oscar showed up at 145. Everyone thought he would bully pac and knock him out pacquiao came prepared and beat him up bad. Sure this wasnt the best oscar everyone see's that. But it isnt pacs fault he did what he had to do I dont get why people hold that against him.

    :patsch Again pac was talking about hatton before dlh showed up he wanted hatton after diaz and everyone thought it would be a great fight.
    Hatton looked good vs paulie after lsoing to floyd at 147, hatton himself said he was best at 140 where he dominated, pac showing up and putting on a candidate for ko of the decade.
    Its a legit good performance.

    Another catchweight? this was the first one!. us boxingfans saw it as 50/50 because pac was unproven at 147, he beat a shell of oscar in teh eyes of many, and knocked hatton out at 140. cotto was the first real challenge at 147. he weighed 146 in the clottey fight and did fine yet 145 vs pac ( 1pound) turned into him getting dominated. the catchweight was unnecessary because it showed pac could hold his won vs welters. thats why he didnt face clottey or shane now at a catchweight. again a legit great win.

    It wasnt a fix but clottey was affraid of pac and was there for the paycheck, I agree with the guy but remember that there were alot of people who thought it would be close becaus e clottey could go up to 160 at fightnight and gave cotto hell and was a legit ww.
    Him shelling up makes this fight get hated on nowadays.

    im not justifying this fight, margarito didnt deserve and I didnt like the match up.
    Pacs performance of destroying margarito was epic though and I doubt the fight would have gone differentlyif it was at 154. But yes I get him on this one.
    pac got hurt in that fight as well he should not be fighting at 154 he is already pushing it at 147 in my opinion.
    Mosley fight is bull**** as well. I think this guy doesnt hate pac he is just stuck what he needs to write on and this is a subject that gets views so he does it.
    Pac is a atg and best fighter of the decade. He puts in amazing performances and is modern day armstrong.
    He is my favourite fighter and a inspiration to a lot of people in boxing and outside. I have no problems with mayweatherFANS by the way. I think its fair if we just their legacy we wil do it without dragging the other one into it. Both are great fighters that should not be doubted.
