    You know it and I know it. Half to a majority of this forum picked Miguel Cotto to KO Pac, after the fight it was Cotto was a shot fighter that Pacquiao cherry picked. Get the fukk outta here with that bullshit.
    Its a shame you get too emotional over my statements about Pac. I'm not a nuthugger so I will state what is factual. You're making guesses about how people "would've" reacted if this or that "would've" happened. I stated facts. Those facts still remain. So does this question. Why did Roach state all these demands for Mosley, like he was really going to fight, if there was no intention to fight Mosley? Because they hoped Mosley would turn down the demands. They saw how damaged Cotto looked against Clottey and how dangerous Mosley looked against Margarito. Be real man, he cherrypicked. Mosley called their bluff. It happened. Don't excuse facts with bogus guessing.
    And I am sticking by facts. These are hard facts.

    Like I said, you and half this forum picked Cotto by victory, now he's a shot fighter that Pacquiao cherry picked? Do you know what cherry picking means? It means that he's selectively picked an easy opponent that he can win.

    That's the poll right there isn't it? Now you're changing your tune? How come you didn't mention Cotto was a shot fighter and Pacquiao was cherry picking when you chose Cotto in that poll?
    Calm your emotions a little bit. I didn't say Cotto was a shot fighter. Freddie Roach is the one who insinuated this when they watched the Cotto/Clottey fight. And for the record, I said Cotto is damaged from the Margarito fight. Do you really think Cotto didn't lose anything from the Margarito battering (By the way, I voted Cotto because of the catchweight title on the line bullcrap and it was unknown how Pac could handle a real welter) Roach even said Cotto is not the same fighter since the Margarito fight. I'm sure you read that too. At least admit that you read Roach say that. And admit Cotto after Clottey looked a lot better of an option than Mosley after Margarito. They waited and got what they wanted. Cotto looked way more beatable than Mosley. Therefore, they chose Cotto over Mosley. A name as big but quite a bit of an easier road. Either was a good enough selection for me but thats still cherrypicking. It happens, boxing is a business, and most fighters do it. Don't excuse Pac. Its obvious to you but you're just focusing on Cotto instead of why they played that song with Mosley and then refused to dance with him. Mosley went on many interviews, even on ESPN, calling Pac out. Freddie Roach responded with demands Mosley "had" to refuse. The 65/35 split, the 143 catchweight, the weight penalty, etc. Mosley went to Roach's gym and accepted all of the demands. Freddie Roach tried to save face by calling Mosley desperate and then turned completely away from a Mosley fight. If they weren't going to fight him anyway why play the song? To give off the image as if they were willing. What kind of backlash would PBF had gotten from you if he did the exact same thing to Mosley?
