Does Manny stop Shane?

This is a horrible fight for me. Pacquiao has a history of taking on fighters who are coming off of weak showings and then putting them away for good. Cotto, Hatton, Margarito, Morales etc.

Cotto - Back to back wins before facing Pacquiao

Hatton - Looks so much improved in the Malinaggi fight. Memory problems?

Margarito - Yeah he didnt look all that againts his trainer but. He looked in the best form of his life againts Pacquiao.

Morales - Yeah he lost to Zahir Fu_cking Raheem he was so dejected in this fight that after 12 rounds Raheem was still trying to run and he was still tryin to knock him out. Just 10 months before he did something that not even Barrera in 2 tries, Marquez in 2 tries, Cotto, Margarito, DelaHoya, Hatton and Clottey wasnt able to do. yeah he beat Manny Pacquiao.

etc - Yeah maybe.

Cotto - Destroyed by Margarito, came back against fluff

Hatton - Knocked out by both the post and Mayweather. Malignaggi has since proven that he is far from elite, plus can't punch

Margarito - Destroyed by Mosley. A year out banned.

Morales - Loss to some guy who none of us can remember. Weight drained and stopped against Pac

Mosley - 2 crappy performances on the trot, older than the rest of the previous opponents combined.

Manny is great, Manny also picks carefully.

No offense Miles, but you can't make excuses now after those victories. When if I'm not mistaken you were one of the loudest supporters that Hatton and Cotto would murder Pac. You can't be Nastradamus now after the fact and make excuses why Hatton and Cotto lost. If you felt that way then maybe you should have said it beforehand and said Pac would win those fights easily and not come out with excuses now after the fights took place and they lost.

That's one thing that always bother me about boxing fans that they come out with every excuse to downgrade another fighter's win, when they picked the other guy to win in the first place.
