Should Pacquiao be fighting someone else

With Pac having beaten Cotto, Shane, Berto, and Mayweather tied up, and Margarito beaten and disgraced, Clottey was the best option available in the welterweight division. Yeah, you can say maybe Pac could have found a better fight at 140, but given that he's most likely going to want to take on the winner of Shane-Mayweather, staying at Welter is preferable.

Although Clottey lacks the big win, he's shown flashes of potential and has been hanging just outside the welterweight elites for years. So yes, Clottey was the best match that could be made at welter when it was signed. (Expect Mayweather, but the two of them had to mess that up.)

 

When Pac signed to fight Clottey the Mosley-Berto was still on.

 

Before Pac-Clottey was signed, Mosley was set to face Berto. Berto only called that off about 10 days ago, remember? Pac-Clottey was announced on the 10th, nine days before Berto withdrew.

So Shane and BErto had each other, negotiations with Mayweather had just fallen through, and I've already said why I don't think Pac and Roach wanted to go back down to 140. Clottey was the best of what was left, and he's a pretty good fighter himself.

 

Actually.

According to Pac fans, Pac just signed the contract yesterday.

 

/thread :happy

:good

 

stop the whining!!

He'd be fighting Margacheato if he wasn't suspended.

 

I dont know if that is true but everybody knew that Clottey would be his next opponent even before the Mosley-Berto fight collapsed.

 

what has margarito done to deserve a shot at the top 3 in the world latley?:huh

 

Enzo posted some video that I guess says Pac was brought the contracts by Arum just yesterday to sign.

 

For the same reason that another thread, similar to this, would start "Why fight Bradley when Pac can face X"

X = Shane, Berto, Margorito, Malignaggi, Foreman, PWilliam, Arum, Roger May, my big brother, my roommate, Mr.T, and Oscar the Grouch.

PBF would be THE only real opponent that 99% would agree on. Shane would be the 2nd best choice. Since the PBF thing blew up and Shane was not available at the time of Clottey negotations....
you have this kind threads.

 

He shouldnt even be boxing let alone getting a shot against any of the top welters,people talk about roids cause its a hot topic right now but what Margo did is much worse than taking steroids or any other illegal drug.

 

he's signed with Top Rank. Get a clue and join the club.
