And MAB was rated P4P number 3 before Manny Pacquiao beat him, how you cannot give credit to Manny Pacquiao for thrashing a P4P top 3 fighter. Who was coming off some of his best performances is beyond me.
He then took on JMM/3k Battery/Erik Morales/Hector Velazquez/Erik Morales/Oscar Larios/Erik Morales/Jorge Solis/MAB/JMM/David Diaz.
Just look at his quality of his opposition since the 1st MAB fight, its about as good as you can get. I really can't understand how you can rip Manny Pacquiao's opposition. When its of the highest quality.
And please don't make me laugh saying Joe Calzaghe hits harder, but chooses not to you sound like an idiot. If a fighter could hit harder why would he choose not to ? that makes no sense.
Joe Calzaghe only has a BS stoppage win over Peter Manfredo, and a stoppage win over the glass jaw Mario Veit, who he destroyed in 1 round in there first fight, but it took him 6 rounds in a rematch. And this is in his last 8 fights.
Manny Pacquiao punches with much better technique. He puts his body weight behind his punches. And his blinding speed generates alot of power. Its ridiculous to even suggest Joe Calzaghe hits harder than Manny Pacquiao P4P.
Manny Pacquiao is now fighting a fighter, who is naturally easily 160+ pounds. ODLH will easily have a 1 stone advantage when they fight. Yet you say Manny Pacquiao ducks fighters and doesn't fight the best are you kidding me ?
Manny Pacquiao isn't my favorite fighter, JMM is actually my favorite. But i respect Manny Pacquiao alot i love his exciting style, i respect the fact that he wants to fight the best and prove he's the best. I really can't understand how anyone can't respect or appreciate Manny Pacquiao, or even assume he has been ducking fighters, with the quality of opponents he has fought in the past few years. And now this fight with ODLH.
