    Absolutely..

    Not fighting Shane at that time means very little in the big picture of Pac's career, even though it displeased me back then.

    Its possible too that a Mayweather fight was in the back of their minds and wanted to be careful not to mess it up.

    Hell yea. In the first fight Morales had the best performance of his entire career.

    It is his defining moment as a boxer. It solidifies him as one of the very best fighters to ever lace them up.

    Foh :lol::lol::lol: You're an idiot. Pacquiao fought Morales 3 times after morales 3 times was coming off a lost. The first fight morales didnt even look great vs pacquiao. The reason morales beat pacquiao is cause morales forced pacquiao to wear pillow gloves which it effected pacquiao punching power which is why pac left his old promoter and join top rank.

    Because Shane was looking like a beast and they wanted no part of him at the time. That is all there is to it.

    According to Arum:
    Before Floyd/Shane fight - "Shane's gonna KO Floyd."
    After Floyd/Shane fight - "Shane needs to retire."
    After Shane/Mora fight - "I think Shane still has a lot of fight left in him."

    I don't think any fighter that moves up many weights getting stronger and faster doesn't have the help of PEDS. But that's just my opinion.

    He was way stronger at 122 and 126...

    He didn't get stronger and faster moving up.

    He looked like a complete wrecking machine vs. Hatton and Cotto, which were fights I laughed at Pac fans for even entertaining back when Pac beat MAB.

    Watch out, Manuel might sue you for false claims about a former flyweight champion nearly beating one eye out of Antonio Margarito at Junior Middleweight.

    I mean, what's 8 weight classes really?

    :rofl

    Roach openly ducked Mosley. Said he was too good, and didn't bring enough money to risk it. Team Pac didn't even hide this. Mosley went to the wildcard gym to ask for the fight. They turned him down :good

    And at 122 he had 10 title fights and Knocked out 9 guys. He was actually stronger at the lower weights.

    He never looked better than he did from the Oscar to Margarito fights. Which if course took place in 3 weight classes far above Featherweight.
