I understand you TS! But you'll have to make your point in straight lines for the masses to get your point. The examples you used are a testament to how great Pacquaio really is. 3 fights ago Pacquaio was a lightweight with no business being in the ring with anyone at 140+. But he's taken his 3 opportunities brilliantly and hence his star is burning brighter than ever.

Most guys have the air let out of their balloon at some stage. Can you imagine If Pavlik had beaten Hopkins, then Arthur Abraham at middle, then Dawson? He'd be viewed as almost unbeatable.

 

Seems weird at the outset to call Adamek Arreola's Segio Martinez, but the more I think about it, the more I see the parallel.

 

I nominate this the dumbest ****ing thread of the year

 

Arreola was the underdog against Vitali and Adamek. Pavlik was the favorite against Hopkins, but Hopkins was bigger than him and stylistic nightmare for Pavlik. You act like Pac has never lost when he was expected to win. He was a big favorite over Marquez in their first fight. He was the favorite against Marquez in both of those fights as well. The first fight was a draw and he narrowly won the second fight. I'd like to see Pacquiao fight some guys that are a stylistic problem for him like Arreola and Pavlik did when they lost. You notice Pac has not faced and counterpunchers and/or guys with good movement since that Marquez fight.

Furthermore, there a lot of guys out there who have beaten everyone they were expected to beat(something that, ironically, Pacquiao has failed to do). So what exactly is your point?

 

Adamek is not even close to Clottey man. Adamek is a 2 weight class belt holder, he moved up to heavy because the competion is weak at those weights. Arreola has decent skill with huge punching power thats what makes him a dangerous heavyweight.

 

I don't get it.

Areola and Pavlik are slow as molasses and should never be put in the same sentence as Pac-manatsch.Pac has speed and power he handled or atleast put up a great SHOW against some of the best featherweights ever Morales and JMM and Barrera.Who weren't 40 years Old grandpa like Hopkins or Mosley.YES, old dawgs can still make youngens their bitches,is this your pt?

Aerreola a heavy favorite? FFS...he was in fact a slight underdog. If you can't get even THAT right, it's no wonder the rest of the post is a mess.
