Just helping out here... LOL!

What is the point?

The point is.... miron lang is providing proof that the assumptions that Pacquiao is cherry picking opponents by "established" Pac haters like Miles and company, here at Saddo, is not accurate, or yet, completely false.

The proof presented is that of a list widely accepted that reflects the high rankings of Pac's last few opponents at a weight within the same grouping to that of Pacquiao.

Add to that the timeline of 2008... then bingo! Without BIAS in one's system, independently, one can conclude or at least the fact will be acceptable, that the string of Pacquiao's opponents since 2008, considering availability and or physical probability, are not only worthy, but topnotch!

Miron is making a decent point that was also brought about on FNF this past week by Joe Tessitore. Teddy Atlas was critiquing Pacquiao's opponents, but when Joe Tessitore asked Teddy Atlas who Pacquiao had ducked or who he should have been fighting and wasn't, Teddy didn't have an answer, and admitted that the Pacquiao's perceived lack of great competition wasn't Pacquiao's fault.

Very nice post.

The one thing the folks who hammer Manny never answer very well is "Well who should he have fought?"

[Boxer4life]

TO be honest, that just remains to be seen, if anyone of the guys pacqiou has fought can comeback and do something great, then yes it adds to his credibility, but to allthose who don't understand, our friend here is saying that the guys packman beat aren't necessarily washed up

Yup I saw that too at FNF, and presented Bradley as the best choice. Fighting Bradley would be the less risk fight because he is not that big of a man to begin with and does not carry a big punch or a great defense. If PAC does fight him in the future and probably stop him I still believe Atlas would still have something bad to say about Manny, maybe something about the steroid issue. Can't please them all.

I disagree. I believe Bradley is the best choice for Manny right now, barring maybe JMM. Unlike JMM, Bradley is proven at 140 and 147. In addition, you can be sure Bradley will go out on his shield. Bradley is also the top dog at 140. JMM isn't even the top dog at 135. JMM also isn't proven above 135 and the fact that he chooses to fight Diaz at 135 rather than step up and fight someone ranked at 140 makes me wonder whether JMM himself even believes he can be effective above 135, and maybe, like Mosley, he is taking the Pacquiao fight because he wants the cash, not because he can win.
