Gatti was 39-6 when Pretty Ugly fought him.
Baldomir was 43-9-6 when Pretty Ugly fought him. hahaha
Castillo was 45-4-1 when he fought him.
and Corrales was just a prospect at the time. he wasn't at the prime of his career.

Why didn't Pretty Scared fight Tszyu or Cotto, or Forest, or Mosely or Mayorga or Casamayor who were the top fighters in his weight class at the time?
Instead he chose scrubs like Sosa, N'dou, Judah, Gatti, Baldomir,Bruseles and Mitchell. The only person afraid of losing was Mayweather.

I would say that of that list Cotto is the one that he clearly ducked, the others I don't really agree that he ducked. There was a reason that he was named the best pound for pound fighter in the World, it wasn't by luck or because he dodged good opponents.

Yeah Pacquiao was really scared of Marquez...... a guy he knocked down 5 times in 2 fights haha

He was afraid of Marquez because Marquez was one of the only fighters that provided him with a challenge. He knocked down Marquez 5 times and still needed a split decision to win and a draw in the other fight. He knew that if he slipped up at all in a fight with Marquez he would lose.

You still haven't mentioned if you follow boxing on a regular basis yet, but a month after the 2nd Marquez fight negotiations was already in place to face Dela Hoya at the end of the year. Why would he fight Marquez again? Pacman needed a warmup in a higher weight so he chose Diaz not just some contender but a world champion at the time.

I follow boxing but I am not a hardcore fan, it seems like you are a hardcore fan and probably have more knowledge on the subject than me. I just feel that Pacquiao gets off easier than Floyd because he is a likable fan favorite while Mayweather is easy to hate.

One of the reasons why Pacman is not fighting the younger guys is that he had a lawsuit ongoing with Golden Boy productions who promote all these guys. Also no one would pay $50 to watch him fight Ortiz or Berto or Bradley.

Pacquaio could fight a cardboard cutout and he will still get good PPV buys. Anything the guy does right now turns to gold. Hell he has about 30 different ugly Nike t-shirts that seem to sell out.

Also Ortiz is not a stud. hahaha. He is from the Fernando Vargas group of quitters.

I meant that Ortiz was not a stud with my comment, just a misunderstanding.

You obviously know more then me on the subject and Ill give you that but I do think you have some bias because you are obviously a big Pacquiao fan who really dislikes Mayweather, like most people.
