If Pac wins, his haters will surely discredit his win by saying Cotto is shot and was destroyed by Margo. Same w/ his wins against Hatton and dela Hoya when they descibed after Pac's victory that they are Floyd's leftovers. In the eyes of these crtics, Pac has never won a fight based on his own merits. Wanna bet?
its being given as an excuse already. As Pac or any boxers' fan, we're used to this kind of excuses. But only a few dickheads bring up the same excuses over and over again, no need to be bothered:yep
It don't matter what certain posters might say to discredit Pac, the fact will still remain that he accomplished great things.
His style has changed after the Margo fight but he isnt shot or on the downslide. I would give full credit but I really doubt hes gonna win. This isnt overrated Hatton lol
Pac asking to fight Cotto at 143, and getting 145 is an excuse that he created himself for Cotto if anything. Pac fought Dlh at 147, why not Cotto? People think AM used plaster against Cotto, but that has not been confirmed so fans won't use the AM destroyed Cotto thing since he beat Clottey. Nobody would give Cotto any excuses...but Pac asked to fight Cotto at 143, and got 145... so blame your hero for creating an excuse for Cotto if Cotto fights like a guy who tried to make weight rather than fight his fight.
He definitely struggled against Clottey that night. I actually thought Clottey was winning after the cut. But miraculously, he lost steam.
It doesn't matter cuz i've heard so many excuses already from a lot of pacquaio's victories. Haters can make excuses all they want but it still won't change the outcome of the fight.
yeah margo already destroyed cotto so he is not a good opponent. mosley was beaten by cotto, struggled against mayorga and is old already so he is not good also. pac should be fighting a prime berto. :good
because DLH was fighting at 154, and DLH wanted the fight as well. He agreed to meet Pac at 147 to atleast even out the field since Pac was coming from 1 fight at 135, coming from 130. Unless you like fighters welcoming challengers from 2 divisions down and having them bloat up to his weight. DLH was atleast fair.
You Pac fans can say whatever you want to make yourselves feel better about Cotto fighting at 145, and fans not thinking Cotto could possibly be weight drained lol. You say people are always making excuses when PAc wins, yet you do the same thing to other fighters who might possibly be an opponent of Pac so please...stop! You are breakin' my heart with this fantasy talk lol. People think Diaz was a bum, they think Dlh was shot, and they thought Hatton was going down hill after Floyd beat him. Every last fighter goes through this when it comes to fans of other fighters. If this helps you sleep at night, good. Not getting enough rest can deliver stress.
Dlh did that to himself, but that doesn't mean Dlh was not shot just because critics thought he would win or wasn't shot. Critics, along with Dlh himself found out he(Dlh) was shot that night. The man lost every round to Pac lol...
