    Pacquiao was always carefully matched post Barrera, and the vast majority of his fights were against In-house fighters.

    He should have lost to Agapito Sanchez. Sanchez was beating him up and Pacquiao got favoritism from the ref.
    It took Pacquiao 4 years to give JMM the rematch, and about 3 years for the rubbermatch!! Yet you are bitching about Canelo-GGG LOL
    At LW he avoided the strongest champions and picked on the weakest titlist who should have gotten an L to Morales prior.
    The Hatton fight was a nice little win, but not very significant imo. He did prove many of us wrong though, I felt that Pacquiao was too small to compete above 135. That fight definitely raised some eyebrows. That is when the PED suspicion begun.
    The Miguel Cotto fight was also a good win for Pacquiao, but his avoidance of OSDT raised even more eyebrows. Also, its worthy to note that Cotto didn't have a real trainer for that fight, was coming off a brutal loss and a questiobale win against Clottey.
    His title at JrMW was a farce.

    After the Cotto fight, he didn't really have any good fights with the exception of Bardley and JMM, both of which he lost too.

    So yes, while he did move up from Fly to JrMW, his avoidance of OSDT, and his carefully matches against Top Rank fighters put his legacy a bit into question and more scrutiny.

    Very very debateable, where as Fishnets past prime fought a razor close fight with Mayweather which imo is pretty good evidence a younger Oscar pulls it off

    I previously explained that. I can add that he should have fought Thurman, instead of Bradley a third time.

    I’m not a software engineer and I doubt you mingle with video game people who make that type of scratch. You’re looking more at the 60k range at best and that’s top programmers on a successful project. Producers in that field only come close to that type of money so I doubt your doing anything that nets you that close as you’re kinda a dumb guy with a childish fanboyism.

    I’m a federal employee and I’ll just leave it there.

    I don't think so. I also don't think Floyd beats a younger De La Hoya either.

    Software engineers are quality assurance testers from my understanding. If you’re not a programmer or producer, you’re real income as a “software engineer” is really on a good year with obscene overtime is around 30k.

    When did Pacquiao avoid OSDT? You've avoided this question every single time that I pose it to you.

    Cotto looked amazing, fit, strong as an ox. He was pumping out an insanely brutal jab and was tit for tat with Pacquiao until Pacquiao hurt him and then overwhelmed him with speed. Put it into perspective — your hero Roidquez wouldn't go near an old Cotto unless he was drained to 150.

    Did he campaign at LW? Nope. He went up and fought guys that would have bodied the cats at LW you're saying he avoided. Juan Diaz?! Pacquiao brutalizes and stops him EASY.

    JMM should have gone up in weight sooner. The light bulb finally went off in his head and he decided to roid up to fight a guy who's the same size as him at 126, 130, 135, 140, or 147. Go figure.

    My friend works there and makes 160 as a Senior Software Engineer.

    You're probably thinking entry level Web Developer, which even 30K is low. They're usually 40-50K.

    Pac fan and also a bigger JMM fan. Why walk about JMM? He arguably won at least 2 or even 3 of the fights with Pac and if it’s true that he was roided, he was just playing at an even playing field as Pac. Gone up in weight? JMM is a small man already so it would be stupid to challenge the likes of Cotto above 147...

    We can reasonably conclude (based on circumstantial evidence) that JMM was roided to the gills. And I was addressing Isal's claim that Pacquiao didn't give him a rematch until 4 years later — Pacquiao wasn't hanging around in the same division was my point. And that JMM should have followed Pacquiao up sooner than he did (once he decided he needed the help of Memo).

    Doubt he makes that kind of scratch for software that he doesn’t even program and you’re talking out of your ass. What project is he on? If it was a government project, that of course is a different matter but if he’s on a team that just develops apps and he just oversees quality assurance which finds bugs, you’re definitely bs.
