It was a good win but by no means a great or fantastic win. Regardless of who chased who, Who was favored or who agreed to the weight.
no, i am going to say the guys he should have fought instead of guys coming off losses, at the end of their careers, at catch-weights, etc. pac had a great career, but no one will ever convince me that his post 130 career has been anything other than cherry-picked and over managed
I've said this before so many times, the only reason De la hoya was the favorite to beat Pacquiao is cause of 1 god damn thing, SIZE ADVANTAGE. I'm like the only one that didn't pick De la hoya to beat Pacquiao cause i have a brain in which i look at photos of Oscar in training camp and read reports that he got beat up by a smaller murderer Valero in sparring. Roach knew Oscar would be dehydrated in which he admit it on the Hatton vs Pacquiao 24/7. And lets talk about Pacquiao other fights. Back in 130 pounds, Pacquiao hasn't beat any fighters "CLEARLY" in their primes. Pacquiao tko Morales in the rematch when Morales was past his prime, weight drain coming off a loss. Pacquiao beat an over the hill Barrera who was also coming off a loss. Pacquiao beat Marquez in a rematch in which MOST thought Marquez won it. Pacquiao went up to lightweight to face the weakest champion in David freaking Diaz. And yea after that, he went all the way up to ww to face an over the hill dehydrated De la hoya who hasn't fought in ww in over 8 years. After that Pacquiao ko an overrated Hatton who's best win is winning in a hugfest over an over the hill Kostya. ^^^Yea and he fought Cotto at a bs catchweight but yet fought Clottey at 147 pounds limit? Hmmm strange. But now Pacquiao is going to fight damage good cheater Margarito in another bs catchweight for a paper belt.
^^And after Pacquiao beat Margarito, you going to read many here acting like idiots saying like Pacquiao is the greatest of all times. Better then Ali, Leonard, Robinson, Hearns, Hagley, Foreman, Holyfield and so on and so on. This is why it's hard to root for Pacquiao when you got many ******s saying dumb **** about Pacquiao greatness.
You didn't pick DLH due to photos you saw of him in training camp and how his sparring went. I assume Roach and co saw this happening before it did? When the fight was offered to him he should have said no, i know you're not gonna be able to move down without killing yourself and that edwin valero will **** you up and sap your confidence, thanks though? How exactly did Roach know Oscar would be dehydrated? If Pac signs to fight Mayweather and then Mayweather sits on his ass and smokes crack for 3 months for the fight, do we attack Pacquiao for cherry picking? I wish I had read this block before I started to respond. You're obviously not getting the point of my original post. Tell me, if Morales, Barrera and Marquez were all over the hill/coming off of a loss, etc... Who at the weight should he have fought instead?
Well, consider the fact that arum is the one who used to promote Mayweather. I guess you can say Floyd and Pacquiao are really not that far off from each other.
What the **** are you talking about? We're not talking about Pacquiao's credentials, his claim to be an ATG or the proclivities of his fanbase. Who is asking you to root for Pacquiao. I certainly don't particularly root for him; I bet a LOT of money on Cotto and prayed for him to win. All I'm saying is if you dismiss all of his WW wins you are an idiot.
i think marg is just a tune up fight for pac to comepete at MW. if pac wins against marg in a one sided fashion, martinez would be next i guess then mayweather then retire.
Probably someone who gargles on Maynever's **** juice for too damn long. That's why he needs to make an alt to make it less obvious.
Go on then... Well which is it? I go back to my original argument: tell me who he should have fought instead or STFU
Back then Pacquiao should have fought Soto or Guzman who was in his prime and not f4cking stupid like he has when moving up. I didn't say Marquez was over the hill. I said Pacquiao at 130 hasn't beaten any fighters "CLEARLY" that isn't over the hill.
