    'Most' People are stupid and can see through the mask. Here's a writer that writes Marquez is a tune up fight and argues that Maweather Jr deserves the same accolades as Pacquiao for similar accomplishments?

    This is where a little comprehension has to come into play! because it's a natural oxymoron: "It's not what they have done, it's how they did it!"
    Or how about "styles make fights".

    Again we're going have to use this age old example:

    Joe Frazier beat Ali, Flooring him and giving him two of his toughest fights, Ali said it was the closed to death he has ever felt.
    George Foreman absolutely DESTROYED Joe Frazier.
    Using your logic because Ali had to dig deep to beat Frazier whilst Foreman almost literally walked through Frazier then Foreman must have been the better fighter?

    I seem to remember Ali managing to negate all of Foreman's work and then knocking him out?
    Shared opponents have only a small amount of relevance.

    The fact of the matter is that boxing ability aside, people go out of their way to pick apart PBF's career because the man is such a dick head outside of the ring but Pac gets no such treatment because he is a nice, humble guy.

    People won't mention that Mayweathers style was the reason he took longer than Pac did to KO Hatton, the fact that he is more safety first and wanted to make sure that Hatton was 100% ready to go before opening up on him does not make Pacman '9 rounds better'. We're talking boxing... not Pokemon cards.

    Pac advocates and Mayweather Haters won't take into account that Oscar De La Hoya was fully Hydrated and loaded up on glycogen at his optimum weight when Mayweather decisioned him and that he was down at a weight he has not been at in years (hard for an OLD man to do) and that his idiot nutritionist had placed him on a Ketosis diet (meant for mass loss, with no regard to athletic performance) that basically put his body into a catabolic state during his training camp.

    Because people love Pac though they're happy to look at the name 'De La Hoya' on Pac's record but disregard any other factors.

    It also doesn't help that ODH is a pretty popular hater target either... anything he says regard why he was so badly outclassed by Pac ( I don't want to give Pac zero credit for the win here, but there were reasons it was so bad and they weren't all to do with pac) has been ignored or snubbed because people have wanted to see Oscar fall for a long time.

    I'm not saying that Pac has ducked more fights etc but I think it's pretty hard to deny that because PBF is such an arsehole compared to Pac, people will look at Pac through rose tinted glasses and PBF with shit tinted glasses.
