Not going to mention names, but when Pacquiao beat Cotto, the same people that predicted Cotto would ko Pac later said Pacquiao beat a shot fighter, that was an excuse to discredit that win, they didn't say he was a shot fighter before the fight, but after the fight that was the excused used.
If you're making a prediction on the guy stick to it don't use some sorry excuse later on if the fighter you're backing loses.
I have to say I agree.
I get where you are saying it's wrong..
Like if you said Cotto is going to beat Pac, and the afterwards say Cotto was shot,,,
to discredit the win, then that's crap....
But for someone to genuinely think something, like how Galaxy thought Cotto would really trouble Pac, but then after the fight be able to say "you know what, Cotto was a shot fighter", I don't think there is a single thing wrong with that at all..
Unless it's to discredit the win, by saying that Cotto was no challenge and Pac shouldn't be proud of it.... In that case, you are being a douche and flipping your opinion to take something away from someone..
But otherwise, you are just using hindsight to rectify a perception you had before a fight, vs after it.
