Pacquiao "not interested" in Cotto or Mosley, only Floyd or Marquez

[fan johnny]

This is the way winning or losing works:

W_ : L
1 <---

Means the fighter with the "W" gets the credit.

W_ : L
---> 1

Means the fighter with the "L" gets no credit.

Everything else is just an opinion.

Your opinion evidently is that if a smaller fighter beats a bigger fighter he gets no credit because he has to lose a couple more pounds or perhaps this only applies to Pacquiao? Well... I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Negative, I think ANY smaller fighter should get more credit for beating a bigger fighter if he can move up and beat him at his best! Yeah, Pac got the win against Oscar and it does go in the W column, but the 1999 version of him would have beat Pac. Y'know the one that could still let his hands go, had good reflexes, could still make the weight. He was a shell of himself just as a fighter not to mention having to make 147 when they fought. But then again in that scenario the fight would never have been contested at that weight. Roach would have demanded 143 or something like that. I just think Pac gets too much credit for the win. People only remember the marque name that he beat not any of the intangibles that surrounded the win. Roach knew what he was doing and I give him the most credit for being shrewd.

The point is/was, he had no problem fighting Oscar at that weight but with anyone else thats got a heartbeat they want a catch weight. I wasn't around for the boxing days of yesteryear when champions moved up to try to win multiple world championships, but I would highly doubt they did all this catch weight negotiation stuff. A good big man will almost always beat a good small man. Do you really believe Oscar was a good big man
that night? You are correct, we are all entitled to our opinions. That is why this is called a forum.
