    This is the epitome of a cherry pick, Bob Aurum and Pac should be ashamed of themselves.

    Was it not planned that he would fight Ruslan, who Chris then beat, so Chris got the fight?

    Yes, horrible cherry pick.

    I remember them talking about it but I don't remember it being official or seriously discussed. I remember Ruslan saying he's down to fight Pacquiao and Roach saying he wouldn't train Ruslan if it were to go down.

    Are you implying that every Pacquiao fan knows what that means? You're ignorant.

    Pacroid can't sell in Macau so they're bringing in a tall, good looking caucasian ESPN fighter.
