It is just amusing when I have read a few post here earlier, telling that after the JMM 2 fight, Pacquiao cherry picked his opponent, which was wrong. Now the fights that are not satisfying are Clottey vs Pac, Mosley vs Pac. Margarito vs Pac (though not satisfying was an intriguing fight cause of the weigh difference and the huge size advantage of Margarito). Yes they are not satisfying fights, but who should replace them instead? Ortiz, Berto and Bradley will be beaten by Pac, though I don't mind seeing these fights. Another thing prior to Pac being great at higher weights, no body will give Pac a chance against Clottey, Mosley and Margarito. Now why some few posters (Pac haters) are wrong when they told that after the JMM 2 fight, Pacquiao cherry picked his opponent. Pac vs Oscar -it was considered a mismatch in favor of Oscar, one member here posted that the jab alone of Oscar would KO Pac. Pac vs Hatton - many has given Hatton (the best 140 during that time, coming of an impressive win against Malignagi) a great chance to destroy Pac. We also remember that before Pac move up to fight Delahoya, nobody gave Pacquiao a chance to beat Hatton (there are many threads here about that). Cotto vs Pac - many has given Cotto a great chance to beat Pac. We must also remember that even after Margarito beat Cotto, nobody still gave Pac (after Pac beats Oscar) a chance against Cotto (there are threads here about that). Prior to these fights no posters considered these fights as cherry picks.
What this man did in 5 years fighting most of these guys at their best weights and the manner of destruction is just out of control. It will never be done again or at least not in our lifetimes. This is the opposite of cherry picking. 2011-05-07 145 Shane Mosley 147 46-6-1 2010-11-13 144½ Antonio Margarito 150 38-6-0 2010-03-13 145¾ Joshua Clottey 147 35-3-0 2009-11-14 144 Miguel Angel Cotto 145 34-1-0 2009-05-02 138 Ricky Hatton 140 45-1-0 2008-12-06 142 Oscar De La Hoya 145 39-5-0 2008-03-15 129 Juan Manuel Marquez 130 48-3-1 2007-10-06 130 Marco Antonio Barrera 130 63-5-0 2007-04-14 128¾ Jorge Solis 130 33-0-2 2006-11-18 129 Erik Morales 129 48-4-0 2006-01-21 128½ Erik Morales 130 48-3-0
You can't call something a cherry pick unless you can name somebody he was ducking, and nobody can do it . The fact is Pac fought everybody out there he was supposed to fight, and there's really no one left except Mayweather. What Pac did by beating all the best fighters from flyweight all the way to welter and destroying all of the top fighters is an amazing achievement. You can't name another fighter who's done that or could do it in way that Pac did it - end of story.
I have found a new formula to cut down most of my wasted time on this Joyboy website. -when opening a thread if every 3rd word is spelt incorrectly they are normally a ******* and English is not their first language....leave thread -if the avatar is of a photo shopped pic of mayweather or pacquiao or someone with a pizza face....leave thread -check previous posts from thread starter if they are all of the same weight division (normally WW) as this is the weight pac and money fight in....leave thread. thread starter of this thread has horrific grammar and is a ******* and every previous post he has made on this website directly involves Pacman.
oscar didn't fight in welter for years a sure win, margarito got a beat down from mosely damged goods, hatton looked lousy after he beat an almost retired kostya zu and survived collazo and got schooled and ko'd by floyd, fought a damaged and hittable cotto with a terrible trainer, Clotty just covers up in his fights that got knocked down with a jab from a damaged cotto, mosely looked like **** for a couple of fights, yeah sure looks like the right time to fight them. Great match making freddie "cherry picking" roach.
FREDDIE ROACH ADMITS TO PICKING FIGHTERS FOR PACQUIAO WHO ARE PAST THEIR BEST AND ARE FADED. AND IT'S F*****G OBVIOUS WHEN THEY'RE IN THE RING THAT THEY'RE PAST IT AND CAN'T PULL THE TRIGGER F*****g *******s are stupid. Marquez fights below 140, yet Pacquiao is fighting him at 144. We have seen Marquez try to gain 13 pounds to fight Floyd and he couldn't compete, yet *******s will see Pacquiao beat Marquez and say "Now everyone knows that Marquez wasn't as good as Pacquiao" NO DIMWITS!!!! MARQUEZ IS FIGHTING AT TOO HIGH A WEIGHT DIVISION TO COMPETE WITH PACQUIAO!!!!!
I can Floyd "Money" Mayweather, who would whoop Mannys ass. FACT. And if it ever happened I would cover any bet any ******* wants to bet.
