you dont reach that level by being scared, the 'most feared' tag is media hype that you obviouslly fall for, risk and reward come in to it, why did pac not fight guzman when he had the chance, why did he pick david diaz over the true lw champ nate campbell...... same thing they didnt bring in enough $$ to justify the risk, its not good for the sport but that is the way it is im afraid
what chance against guzman are you talking about? guzman was an unknown fighter during that time and Pac was like demolishing legends( Barrera and Morales) then.

Pac fought 3 to 2 times a year and all of them towards achieving a goal. To win belts in as many divisions as possible.

nate campbell as the true lw champ? how about Juan Diaz and Casamayor ( The Ring title holder) who were also champions then? I thought Juan was the man during that time. I could remember it well and no one's talking of Campbell as the true lw champ then.

So again, what chances are you talking about?
campbell had already beat the #1 Lw in diaz at that point, casamayor was showing blatent signs of being past, and pac picked the weakest champion in that division

calling guzman an unknown shows a lack of interest in anyone other than pac , guzman called pac out following the barrera rematch, but he instead moved up to fight david diaz...
Pac picked up the weakest guy because he is testing waters at 135. He is a former 106 pnder for God's sake! And please don't say that david is some puny. Pac is just that good but to say the least david is a strong fighter and a c-class at best. What you should realize is pac went up against a heavier opponent in a championship fight while testing waters at 135.
And pac afraid of campbell? Lol. It seems you have forgotten what a bum peden did to him. What more if that was pac. Pac toys with nate easily.
Guzman? Funeka just showed that he can be hurt. And just by jabs? Manny has a lot than jabs to hurt guz. Funeka just exposed how overrated this guy was.
The moment pac ko'ed cotto, you should'nt bring up guzman, campbell, juan diaz or anybody which pac did'nt faced back then. You should'nt just should'nt. Rule of thumb.
