Sorry dude, but try again. Barrerra was ranked #3 P4P when he fought Pacquiao and Pacquiao wasn't even ranked. When he fought Morales, Morales was actually ranked #4 P4P and Pacquiao was ranked #5 (which shows that Pacquiao wasn't even close to being in his prime against Morales OR Barrera). You have a case with Marquez, but Pacquiao fought Hatton at Jr. Welter. Floyd fought Hatton at Welter. If you can remember, that's if you're a boxing fan and not just a fan of Floyd, Hatton actually fought once in welter before and he had a VERY DISAPPOINTING showing against Collazo. So much so that he said right afterwards that the welterweight division wasn't for him and he went back down to Jr. Welterweight until Mayweather, surprise surprise asked him to come to the welterweight division to fight him. Not only that, Hatton scored an impressive TKO victory over Pauli Malignaggi right before facing Pac and everyone was talking about how his career was reinvigorated and he had this newfound "defense" taught to him by Mayweather Sr. Cotto? Cotto just beat Clottey with one eye for 9 rounds and you're telling me he was shot? Sure DLH was past his prime, but he was past his prime against Mayweather as well, but against Paquiao, he was considered a 3 to 1 favorite and the boxing world criticized ODLH for taking on the "much smaller" Pacquiao. It was considered a circus show?
What's your idea of someone who isn't shot? Someone who hasn't been KO'd? Someone who hasn't lost? Let's look Mayweather's career victories. Corrales was a good victory...but let's not kid ourselves into thinking he was something super great. Sure he was KO'ing everyone, but what kind of competition was he facing? What were his notable wins BEFORE Mayweather? ODLH? ODLH was KO'd by B-Hop and had lost 4 times when he stepped in the ring with Mayweather. Hatton? We already went through that. Marquez? Sure, the LIGHTWEIGHT champ...Even Berenstein said Marquez was got too slow by adding on too much weight 2 weeks before the fight! Judah? The guy who just lost to journeyman Baldomir? Baldomir? The guy who had been KO'd before and had lost to 9 guys (nobodies) before stepping in the ring with Mayweather. Or Maybe it's Gatti. the guy who had lost 6 times and KO'd twice before stepping in the ring. As I've said many times, I'm not knocking Mayweather for his resume at 135 and below, but what great fighter has he fought that was still in their prime at 140+? Oh, I forgot Mosley. Mr. lost 5 times to Cotto, got schooled twice by Winky AND mr. Forrest each. Do you consider that still in their prime? Or are you holding a double standard with Pac?
Now, who really is the one that hand picks their opponent?
Again Martin - when Mayweather does it, it's called trash talking but when Roach does it, then their opponents arent' good to begin with. Double standards at its best.

Yeah I agree, even his trainer says they pick fighters who are past it, and won't fight fighters they deem "too good"(Mosley). Mayweather has come out of retirement and fought P4P #2 and #3, and regardless of what the TR hype machine has been trying to brain wash Pactards with, Mayweather has tried to fight Pacquiao. If they really think Mayweather is scared they should offer up 55/45 in Mayweather's favor along with completely random blood testing, I mean if he's going to turn it down out of fear anyway.

Thank you, Ron! Even Freddy Roach has criticized Manny's opponents! Roach called Cotto "shot", said Hatton "can't pull the trigger", said "i would never have Manny fight a peak Oscar de la Hoya", etc. Pacfans are liars and misinformed chumps who know very little about boxing. If Floyd pulled this same crap, they would be saying he wanted Margacheato all along. Pactards are the biggest bunch of hypocrites on earth. When manny eventually gets his butt handed to him, they will all disappear. they were never boxing fans in the first place. i would love to go back to talking about andre ward, great middleweights, great fights of the past, great undercards, boxing techniqes (yes, i'm an actual trained boxer, pactards), etc. the sport will be much better without Arum and Pacquiao ripping people off. and "Chris", did you not ask a question about Juan Manuel Marquez's legs going in the air? i did not even know he did that. is that something you often notice in men?
