Just like I said that JMM won't go past 5 with this version of Pac. I was wrong, no going back on what I said and made up some excuses with hindsight.
You can check every single one of my picks leading up to every one of those fights.
Not once did I think any of those fighters would win.

I think the one which I said would be competative was Cotto and also that Hatton would go past 6 but even then I picked Pac to win. Even more so vs. ODLH and I have proven that time and time again that I said ODLH would look like corpse trying to hit 147 this was when Floyd Sr. announced that they had plans to go down in weight and fight Pac.

Same thing when he fought Clottey & Tony I said they'd both be targets all night. Two straight forward guys who come at you one way.

Diaz fight.. I mean come on whoever did not see that as just a fucken mismatch is blind seriously and that whole "It was a moving up in weight fight" well when JMM moved up to Lightweight he fought the lineal champ in Casamayor. Pac could have fought him too but he fought Diaz instead.

I give Pac full credit for beating Cotto & Hatton I believe those 2 fighters were top caliber and solid opponents. However I can't credit him for fighting Clottey, Tony, Diaz, ODLH & SSM. I said prior to fights after and I'll say it again.

Oh and I almost forgot the great matchup and sudden rejuvenation that was SSM... Please.
