'cause hes a typical black boxer who runs and doesnt like to get hit. black boxers r intimidated by him, ask floyd. :deal
Cos Raheem wouldn't stand still for him like he prefers his opponents to do. The weight excuse is just bollox. He just boiled down to 130 but entered the ring at 142 - 145, so boiling down to 135 would have been no problem. But he preferred to get EM to boil back down to 130. So ignore the pacturds, and accept that yes he did duck Raheem.
He couldn't have fought Raheem later cuz Raheem just lost a snoozefest against Freitas after Morales fight.
No... Pacquiao had the chance to sign... refused it and took a different run Although his decision was better (In the long run), he still refused to fight Zahir because Zahir = Too slick, too American, too black. :admin
*******s getting angry because they know he ducked Raheem. This was not my intention. I simply wanted to know why Pacquiao ducked Raheem. :deal And have nothing to say to refute it.
Nah, you're just finding a way to make it look like a duck. Raheem was never on the radar even after the Morales win. Besides, how can pac-raheem be must seen fight when pac got beaten by morales and raheem beat morales? It's only natural that pac should chase morales to avenge his loss. The "pac not facing slick fighters" critics was not yet in mind before. Mexicans were Pac's nemesis before not some slick afro fighters.
It's funny cause dodong actually brought up Raheem when I was talking about Manny ducking but he says Pacquiao never ducked, he has a guilty conscious.
what's funny is that you're actually entertaining the idea that raheem was a serious option at that time....and that pac ducked him.
