And so, no body considered these fights as a cherry pick during that time. As I told that even after Margarito beat Cotto, no body still gave Pac (after Pac beats Oscar) a chance against Cotto (there are threads here about that). 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. Before Pac move up to fight Delahoya, nobody gave Pacquiao a chance to beat Hatton (there are many threads here about that). 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.
I remember people saying this on other sites and people laughing at me when I told them they were idiots. Shane Mosley came up from 135 and fought Oscar at 147. Why did people think it was impossible for Pac to do it to an old washed upOscar? People seem to forget that Roach trained Oscar for his fight with Mayweather and Roach said Oscar was shot and couldn't let his hands go way before Pac/Oscar was ever even considered. Couple that with how shitty Oscar looked against Forbes and you have an obvious result in a fight with Pac.
how soft are those fighters including the one in your avatar?:rofl the likes of hatton, cotto, margo has fought around those weights for their whole ****in careers, pac has been fighting longer, has been into wars unlike most of those clowns and he's still fresh compared to those guys?:roll: and it takes a midget to beat them but you never thought about that?
:good but just to add its because mosley started at 135 unlike pac, so thats where the disbelief from people came from. And pac has been fighting longer in the lower weights.
And yet despite what Roach told, it did not stop people from thinking this fight was a mismatch(a joke fight) in favor of Oscar. Mosley is naturally a bigger man than Pacquiao. So for people Mosley moving up at 147 is not as gigantic task as what Pacquiao did, who only has unlike Mosley one fight at lw.
