You don't want people to think your win was a one off fluke, and why not have 2 wins over biggest rivals rather than 1 win?
Pac gave barrera rematch because he's a proper champ.
Plus if fight is controversial for any reason be it Iv fluids, cw, you owe it to opponent to give rematch

Originally posted by sargo View PostPacquiao AMAZES audiences. Did it as an unknown when he beat up P4P ranked Ledwaba, did it as an underdog against Barrera and Dela Hoya. Crushed Hatton. Destroyed Cotto that drove Mayweather crazy and accused him of PEDs. Beat up the MUCH BIGGER Margarito. Amazed again recently beating undefeated, young champion Thurman in spectacular fashion at 40 years old - now oldest welterweight champion, only champion in 4 decades.
Ledwaba was never ranked P4P.

1. Antonio Margarito
2. Miguel Angel Cotto
3. Shane Mosley
4. Joshua Clottey
5. Manny Pacquiao
After fighting Hatton for the 140 belt at the beginning of 2009, Pacquiao's next 4 fights were.....
Cotto, Margarito, Clottey then Mosley.
Nitpick if you want about this or that but that was his next 4 fights when he jumped to 147 in 2009.
Thats why he wasn't the #1 guy at 147. When Mosley was #1, he opted to fight Cotto who was coming off a tough fight with clottey and was stopped by marg the year earlier. Then fought clottey coming off his loss, then fought Marg after being KO'd by Shane, then fought Shane coming off a two fight winless streak.Last edited by mcdonalds; 05-17-2020, 09:48 PM.
