    Sticking with Bradley and Mosley. I think at this point Mosley is shot. I don't think he can beat Pac at this point but I think he could go the distance. Bradley on the other hand I don't think has been avoided by Pac just that he isn't a big enough name yet to warrant the big fight. The reason people point to Bradley as being avoided by Pac is because Bradley is more than capable of beating Pac. So it seems to some people that Pac might be avoiding Bradley. I think this is just a case of Bradley despite having the ability to beat Pac is not a big enough for Pac just yet.

    Raheem's style was just bunk though. He was clearly shellacking Morales but absolutely refused to engage or pursue at all. Rewarding FIGHTERS for refusing to engage is terrible. Floyd and even Hagler could fight off the back foot and still look like they were in control of the fight. There were times watching Raheem when I just wanted him to stand his ground for once. It gets so old seeing running rewarded again and again and again unless the slugger is somebody they are trying to build (Mike Jones, Rigondeux who fights like every punch will give him HIV, it didn't work out too well for that kid against Rios, but I remember Ponce getting thoroughly outclassed live once, I am thinking maybe by Penalosa on the undercard of a big fight, losing like every round and winning a ridiculously wide decision.) Terrible trend to confuse defensive mastery with refusing to engage.

    Very good fighter and underrated nowadays.

    But he wasnt avoided by Pac who back then was pretty much an unknown and was in no position to choose who he fought, Johnson at the time where this fight could have happened was a bigger star than Pac and i dont remember him ever calling Pac out, **** he probably didnt even knew who Pac was.

    Its not like Guzman gets more credit, Pacquaio gets far more credit, its because he looked so good he was avoided

    So defense is overrated? Counter punching is overrated? Punch accuracy is overrated?

    no, it's the term 'slick' or the use of the word 'slick'. guzman is slick, pbf is slick but obviously there are different levels of slickness. simply because a boxer is slick does not make him a good boxer.

    none of that defines slickness.

    slickness is movement.
